Every morning at Mountain View Lodge, you'll wake up before your alarm because the Black Hills sunrise coming through those floor-to-ceiling windows is simply too good to sleep through. You'll brew your coffee, step onto the deck, and watch the light change across the pines while a family of whitetails grazes in the yard below. This is what you came for — and you haven't even hit the game room yet.
Mountain View Lodge is a 2,450 sq ft Black Hills retreat built for people who want itall: stunning mountain views AND a 60-game arcade, king beds AND a heated garage, wildlife out front AND Deadwood 15 minutes away. It's the rare place where the adults actually compete for who gets to play the arcade first.
THE SPACE
The main floor opens wide — living, dining, and kitchen all connected by natural light from oversized windows framing the surrounding forest. The kitchen is fully stocked for real cooking (not just reheating), with all the appliances, tools, and counter space a group needs. The dining table seats four, and the bar adds five more — plenty of room for the whole crew for meals, card games, or both.
Two king bedrooms, a third bedroom with a king and queen, and a lofted living area with sleeper sofa sleep up to 10 guests comfortably. The bedroom with the king and queen is perfect for kids or as a dedicated space to spread out your clothes and gear. Every bedroom has blackout shades and comfortable mattresses that guests consistently mention in reviews. Two well-appointed bathrooms serve the house, and a Pack 'n Play is available for little ones.
THE GAME ROOM
This is what sets Mountain View Lodge apart. A 60-game arcade cabinet (classics + fan favorites), air hockey, foosball, ring swing — the game room is where evenings happen. Kids disappear in here while adults claim the recliners. No one ever complains about a full day.
THE GARAGE
A rare find: a heated two-car garage with room for a crew cab pickup. Your vehicles are warm when you leave for Terry Peak in the morning. Your gear is dry. Your trip is smoother. It matters more than you'd expect in a Black Hills winter. Driveway parking for two more vehicles, plus street parking for RVs and trailers.
THE OUTDOORS
One deck with mountain views, a private backyard, outdoor furniture, and a gas grill for evenings. Wildlife shows up most mornings — deer and turkeys are regulars. The Mickelson Trail is 0.8 miles away. ATV trails are minutes out. Terry Peak Ski Area is 5.3 miles. Spearfish Canyon is 21 miles.
LOCATION
Lead, South Dakota puts you at the center of the Northern Black Hills. Downtown Deadwood is 4 miles (dining, history, casinos). Downtown Lead is minutes away. Mount Rushmore is 50 miles. You won't run out of things to do — but the lodge is good enough that you won't feel obligated to leave either.
Fresh locally-baked chocolate chip cookies from Surely Sweet will be waiting when you arrive — and if you have food allergies or just aren't a cookie person, just let us know and we'll skip the drop-off. Two dogs (≤50 lbs) welcome with a deposit. OwnerRez rental agreement required at booking — it's quick and painless.

    Our stay at Mountain View Lodge was great. Nice place made for a cozy environment. Game room gave us some good entertainment after a few days out seeing sights and activities. Was definitely a place a family of 7 could comfortably sprawl out and relax. Location is great for getting places. Host was welcoming, and sure to check in to see if we needed anything. (Through text, not stopping by, ). And gave some good info on checking out what the Black Hills has to offer. Would highly recommend.

    Came for the Sturgis 2025 Rally and the location of this property in Lead, SD is pretty good. It’s right down the road from Deadwood and less than 30 min to Sturgis. The space downstairs in the garage is great for 4-6 bikes but the city rule about not having an unattached trailer on the street was a bummer. Check with the PD to see if they can give you suggestions on where to park your trailer if you plan on using your tow vehicle to get around some. The house was a nice size with good views but a lot of staircases, so be aware. Enjoyed having a big laundry room on the bottom floor, with laundry shoots in the bathrooms, for those days we got back from riding and needed to get those items cleaned. Wish the check out time was a little later, but it still wasn’t a big deal. We would definitely consider staying here again.

    Lead/Deadwood trip that was top notch. This home was exceptionally comfy,warm and made you feel as if you were at home. Beds were comfortable. Did a quick road trip from this home to Mt Rushmore and Devils Tower, perfect day. Close to Deadwood yet located in a quiet neighborhood. Uninvited yet welcoming daily guests- deer and many turkeys. Will definitely go back. Thank you for sharing your home. Gallaghers and Zipps
