Stay here if you love comfy beds, the fluffiest towels and the softest sheets. Stay here if you want to meet the nicest independent lodge owners who truly care about your stay. Truly wonderful experience!

I rarely write reviews unless something is really good or bad. We had a great stay for 4 nights. The rooms were very clean, great customer service, free basic breakfast and excellent location. Mountain view lodge is only 5 to 15 minutes to MANY activities: Custer state park/sylvan lake, Pactola Lake, Mount Rushmore, Bear country, Reptile gardens, Hill city & Keystone shopping and restaurants. Walking distance to Dairy twist, candyland, mini-golf and gas station.

It was beautiful. It was well taken care of. The host and housekeeper were both lovely people. Stay here if you get the chance. The quality and comfort are unmatched for the price. My now fiancé says, “10/10 would recommend”

Room decor had pleasant rustic decor. Loved the tree lined hills outside the front and back windows and the spacious wrap around front porch. The owners were quick to respond with a personal phone call. Our stay was short, but sweet!

Room was very small. There was no place to seat to eat. Free breakfast consisted of coffee and donuts. No ice and if you wanted ice you had to buy it. Would not recommend this place.

Vacay A good location if you are wanting to play tourist. Can be a bit noisy because of the road with the windows open. Bed was comfy. Shower was very tiny.
