Custom log lodge with private hot tub, gorgeous decks, game room & fireplaces

Black Diamond Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Black Diamond, a spacious, 3,600-square-foot, custom log cabin, is a vacationer's dream. This five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home is only half a mile from Terry Peak Ski Area and adjacent to Black Hills National Forest, providing you with easy access to hiking and ATV trails.

You'll feel spoiled with granite on all top surfaces, stainless steel appliances in the kitchen (with a pantry), and custom log trim throughout the cabin. Admire the spectacular view as you grill on the upper deck or soak in the eight-person hot tub on the lower deck. Unwind around two gorgeous fireplaces, whether you're reading a book quietly on the main level or playing PS3 on the big-screen TV downstairs.

With two full-size dishwashers and two full-size refrigerators, Black Diamond can certainly handle a large group. The game room on the lower level has something for everyone as well, from a Thomas the Train table to foosball, darts, and board games.

All five bedrooms include upscale furnishings, ceiling fans, and Denver mattresses. Two of the bedrooms are primary suites, each with a TV and a private bathroom. The main-level primary suite has a whirlpool tub and a separate shower while the second primary suite boasts an oversize walk-in shower with a waterfall showerhead cascading from the ceiling.

We walked into the house to find an unmade bed, used from prior guest, and other less than clean ...

There wasn’t much to love. Perhaps the layout.

Great Multi-Family Getaway

We had 6 adults and two kids during our stay and could have slept more and still had plenty of space. The sleeping arrangements work well for multiple families to have privacy and enough private sleeping and restroom space. There were two beds/1 bath upstairs, 1 bed/2 bath main floor, and 2 beds/2 baths downstairs so it allowed for nice separation so we didn’t have to worry about waking people up if you wake up early or go to bed early. Our favorite part, the basement by far! The comfort of the couches and the entertainment things available made it for a memorable time! Very clean and the directions to get there are very clear!

Perfect for Families

We had an amazing time at this lodge! For our first extended family vacation-this lodge was perfect to give everyone enough space to relax and enjoy the Black Hills. Recommend AWD or a vehicle that can handle terrain to get up the driveway.

Black Diamond Lodge

We enjoyed the beautiful lodge in an idyllic setting everything was perfect. Unfortunately we had to suffer the smell of sewage from the neighbouring lodge whose septic tank appeared to be overflowing on a regular basis during the week

Black Diamond Cabin

Great Cabin, great location, great view. Just a bit on the not so clean side. There were messy floors, especially in the bathrooms, we did a load of sheets as one of the beds didn't look clean, hot tub had a bunch of hard scale type material in it although one couple used it still. Everything would have been perfect if it would have been cleaner. Housekeepers were there when we arrived. We were not checking in early either, we were late getting to the cabin and the cleaners were still onsite. Not complaining a bit, we enjoyed ourselves very much. we just wish it would have been properly cleaned before we arrived.
