Mountain View Lodge & Cabins

At first was unsure,but this motel is a gem. Good bed, good towels, good breakfast. Nice balcony to sit and enjoy the view. The family who runs the motel tries to please.One of our best nights on a week long trip.close to both Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monument. Close to dining in Hill

My wife and I arrived at the Mountain view lodge without a reservation (as our booked motel had a water heater mishap) We arrived for a two nights stay Apr 12th & 13th. The owners were so friendly and inviting that we knew we picked the right place. The room was very clean & roomy for the two of us. If we are ever back to this area we would definitely stay here again!

We were late season for the Black Hills, and our first visit to the area. The Lodge is well located in the center of both the southern loops and the northern areas. The lodge is operated by the owners, and it is clear that they are pouring their hearts into caring for the place and for their guests. We had the King room, #11, and can't comment on any other spaces. The room was VERY clean. All the surfaces felt tended to, clean, fit well...carpet felt newish...Nice. The bed was very comfortable. Decorations were all matching, nice quality, chairs, throw pillows, bed pillows, bed quilt... Bathroom was a bit funny, and the toilet space was tight (I am 5'11, 200#), and the shower was a bit tight as well. That said, it is probably the era of construction, and not a criticism of the current owners or intent. The room was not large, the balcony listed in the promo turned out to be the walkway up with a couple chairs on it. The lodge is on the highway, and there was a lot of road noise that was only somewhat mitigated with closed door. Could have used a bit of hanging clothes space. We were there three nights, and worked out of our suitecases. A bit more counter/table space would help, and could be accommodated, I believe. Provided breakfast was packaged, sugary rolls, and coffee - and there weren't many choices nearby, so we bought granola and bananas for breakfast, but no real place to work with them. Overall, a 5 for care, 4 for details...

I love this place !! The owners are awesome and very friendly and I love the Black Hills!! This is our second time staying here and we plan on returning next year too!!

We stayed for 5 nights. This has got to be one of the best places that we have ever stayed. Cary and Melissa were excellent hosts. Kind. Greeted us every time we saw them. Made sure to make us feel welcome and made sure if we needed anything they’d get it. Room was immaculate. Very clean. Had a few dishes and silverware. There is a grill and pizza oven on the huge front porch/deck that you can use. Lots of seating and covered area to sit out and enjoy. Close to Hill City. They also sell bags of ice for your cooler. That was a plus. We didn’t have to find a gas station. Plenty of parking. And their dog is adorable too!

We visited South Dakota for the first time last week. We chose the Mountain View Lodge because of its proximity to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial. We arrived late, after the office was closed but the owners left the door of our room unlocked and the lights on. We were thrilled with how lovely the room was. It was small but super clean and comfortable. We loved the rustic decor. We were in awe when we woke up to the glorious view! Most mornings there was coffee and donuts available. We will definitely be back!

Room was ok. Office wasn't open when it was supposed to be. Wasn't coffee and donuts in the morning as advertised in the guide in the room. Outside of the peak season so I guess taking our money was an inconvenience. Checkout time apparently was 10:30. 11 is pretty standard for the industry so that's what we were shooting for. At 10:37 a man knocked on the door and was rude to my wife and told her we needed to be out ASAP and we were late. She said we would be out in ten minutes and he said he that wasn't fast enough. He must have had better things to do with his Saturday than do his job. This poor customer service and lack of hospitality is inexcusable. I realize it's not your peak season but if my business is an inconvenience then don't bother staying open. I'll be sure to spread the word to stay literally anywhere else.

I traveled with my family to rest and visiting some emblematic places. This is perfect place to rest when you come to visit.

Very kind owners and meticulously clean. Enjoyed our visit very much. Beautiful surrounding area!
