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...

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!

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

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

Excellent two day stay on the way to Yellowstone. Very clean. Owners accommodating and very helpful! Convenient location to attractions and coffee and grab and go breakfast provided was perfect!! Would definitely recommend!! My girls loved it too!

Beautiful rooms, friendly and helpful owners, and good breakfast.

I would have to say that the best thing about the Mountain View Lodge were the owners Cary and Melissa. They were so friendly and helpful.

It was very cozy and confortable. The site was also well situated from many of the main attractions in the area.
