About this property
Modern Rustic 4 BR Black Hills Sanctuary with hot tub and Shared Heated Pool!
Can you imagine kicking your feet up by the fire in this wonderful modern rustic home-away-from-home? Aspen View Lodge is certainly one of those cabins you'll remember for years to come. This beautiful 4 bedroom custom built cabin is located in the highly popular Gilded Mountain area with great scenery and wildlife that frequent the area. You couldn't be in a better location, as you're in the heart of the Northern hills recreational corridor. You can be skiing at Terry Peak in less than 5 minutes, ride your ATV/Snowmobile from the property to connect to the Mickelson trail and larger trail system, or cruising through the rimrock canyon walls of Spearfish Canyon in 5 minutes. Don't forget Deadwood is only 10 minutes away with taxi service to Aspen View Lodge and you can be viewing Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Keystone in under an hours drive.
After exploring throughout your vacation, coming home to the cabin will be the best part. With peaceful views from the deck area, a secluded back yard area bordering forest service, and a hot tub with a view of the stars, your vacation will be complete. The cabin is decorated rustically throughout, and includes custom log furniture to complete that log cabin feel. There's flat screen TVs in all 4 bedrooms, heated tile floors in the entryway, a stone accented fireplace in the living area and includes WiFi to stay connected. The open kitchen is great for entertaining with seating for up to 12 and there's a total of 4 bedrooms - 2 bedrooms are upstairs with queen beds, while the other 2 are on the lower level with a queen bed and a twin bunkbed. There's also a futon in the loft to complete the ability to sleep up to 12.
One of the best parts - you also get access to the shared clubhouse. With amenities like a shared heated pool, sauna, fitness room, wet bar, pool table and 2 more hot tubs, your whole group will have many things to enjoy after your days finding local adventures. We welcome you to Aspen View Lodge on your next Black Hills vacation.

We had an excellent stay at Aspen View. Plenty of room and lots of towels for the 9 people in our group. We loved the location and all the area amenities. We especially loved the front room with the washer and dryer. It was a great place to stash all our riding gear leaving the rest of the cabin clutter free! We saw turkeys and deer walking through the woods while sitting on the back deck. Plenty of parking for two vehicles (probably could have fit one more if needed), a car trailer, and 5 motorcycles! Would stay here again and highly recommend Aspen View and the Gilded Mountain area.
It's exactly as it was described. It was in the perfect location for our needs. It doesn't have a true master, if that's important to you. It had 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom in the basement. The main level has a half bath. The upstairs had 2 more bedrooms with a shared bathroom. It was also in easy walking distance to the shared pool and clubhouse building.
Property has a heated pool at the clubhouse and the pool was actually heated and great even on cool days. Cabin was great as well and kitchen had all the pots, flat iron and pans needed. Highly recommend this property, mainly due to heated pool at the clubhouse.
Our stay was great! Well stocked cabin and well kept. Hot tub and pool were a great addition

Reviewer Comments:
We were very disappointed in the cleanliness and overall maintenance of the rental. With the price paid per night, we expected the cabin to be in good condition. I know cleaning a house with higher ceilings is difficult, but it should be dusted a few times a year. We also found random dirty socks in one of the bedrooms.
The house was just as it was advertised, very clean, and everything was functioning. The hot tub was clean and the perfect temperature. It was in the perfect location near Terry Peak and Lead and Deadwood. I would recommend this place to my friends and would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at Aspen View Lodge. After long days driving to see all of the SD/WY sites, we couldn't wait to get back to the house to grill on the comfortable porch with a view or cook in the well-equipped kitchen with a view or turn on the cozy fireplace next to a huge window with a view or sleep in comfortable beds in rooms with a view or - our personal favorite - relax in the hot with a view AND a family of deer who wished us a good evening each night. The house is super accomodating and the location was perfect for us. We loved being super close to Spearfish Canyon and close enough to all the sites to get to have somewhere so welcoming ro come home to each night.
We really enjoyed this cabin and would rent it again. It was perfect for eight of us: my husband and me, our four kids, and my parents. The place was cozy and decorated well. We loved the private hot tub at ground level, and everything there was to do in the community lodge. My kids were pretty excited to get to swim outside in March!
Our family had a wonderful time here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The bunk beds were a hit with my kids.

Thanks so much for your feedback Jaclyn! We're so happy to see the cabin worked well for your group and you guys had a good vacation. We love to see the kids loved the bunk beds! Thanks again for staying, hope to see you back again soon!
We loved our stay here. The cabin was perfect for all 6 of us, and the location can’t be beat for getting out and exploring the area. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The hot tub didn’t work for the majority of our stay, but we went to the lodge to use the two they had which were fantastic.
Cabin was clean and great location would highly recommend.
We had a great time ! The cabin was so clean and hot tub was great added bonus after long days sightseeing .
Close to town and Deadwood. Made it convenient for groceries , ice and gas.

Thanks so much for your feedback Sarah! So glad to see you guys enjoyed your vacation and liked the cabin! Thanks again for staying with us, hope to see you back again soon!
when vacationing my kids want a pool, having a private hot tub and access to the community pool was a selling point. The house was rustic style, but clean and welcoming.
The cabin was beautifully decorated and in a great location. The kids really enjoyed the clubhouse and the pool. Communication was also great. The only recommendation I have is that I wish more businesses were open in the evenings for ice cream, but highly recommend this cabin.
We loved our stay at this property! Location and property were excellent. It was nice to have a "home" to go back to each night. Hot tub and grill were awesome to have. Kids loved going to the clubhouse to swim and play pool. Only "complaint" was the musty towels of which most we were able to wash up just fine. Loved that this house backed to trees, not anither property. Made for nice nights in the hot tub and on the deck. We'll be back!

Thanks so much for your feedback Mike! We're so happy to see you guys enjoyed the cabin and your kids got a chance to enjoy the clubhouse. Thanks again for staying with us, hope to see you back again soon!
Spent a week here in July 2020 for a vacation and really enjoyed it. The last time I was in South Dakota was when I was a kid 45 years ago, and wanted to show my daughters all the fun stuff I remembered. The cabin was great and Budi was super helpful. There were one or two very minor maintenance items that need looked at due to normal wear and tear, but overall the cabin was GREAT! There were 4 of us and everyone had plenty of room and loved the hot tub and watching nature out our back door. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks so much for your feedback Steve. Great to see you guys had a great vacation and enjoyed the cabin. Thanks again for staying with us, hope to see you back again soon!
Our whole crew enjoyed this cabin. It was clean and spacious and very nicely designed. My husband and I loved being able to go downstairs and have our own space away from parents and kids. It made it nice in the morning to be able to cook breakfast and not have to worry about waking anyone since bedrooms weren't on the same level. I walked the neighborhood early every morning and enjoyed seeing the deer out and about before the rest of the world woke up. It was easy to find and convenient to town to get supplies and food if needed.

Not a lot to complain about! We had a great time. Just a couple minor things-Maybe just look into some new appliances like coffee pot, it took close to 30 mins to brew a pot of coffee because the drip was so slow. Also, maybe put a list of which TV stations and channel numbers are available(would be nice to have kids station like Nick or Disney for days when we were just relaxing at the cabin) Otherwise the pool was great and the cabin had lots of room to gather and plenty of room to relax individually which was nice with 9 people!!
