About this property

A new unique property located right at the entrance to the Gilded Mountain Subdivision. Lookout Tower is a spacious 5 bedroom 3 bath home on 4 levels - one of which is the watchtower on the 4th level. This custom cabin is wonderfully decorated with enjoyable living spaces and a one-of-a-kind master bedroom and bathroom in the top level tower room with some of the best views in the area!

The main level has an open floor plan with your living room, granite kitchen, and dining area. You'll also get to enjoy a 42" TV, beautiful and cozy gas fireplace, a laundry area, and easy access to the walk out deck with Black Hills National Forest views!

The lower level of the property has a wet-bar, table area to enjoy games with family, another TV and a walk out patio with a hot tub!

The master bedroom is at the top of the tower on the 4th level and includes a king-size bed, flat screen TV, full bathroom and walk-out patio with endless views! On the 3rd level, there's another spacious bedroom with full-size bunk beds and small area with a TV. Main Level bedroom includes a queen bed and full bathroom. The lowest level has a 4th bedroom with twin size bunk bed and 5th bedroom that includes a queen size bed.

You'll be minutes from Terry Peak and Deer Mountain, a short drive to Deadwood to enjoy the sites and some gambling, and can access the ATV and snowmobile trails right out your door at the property. Centrally located so you can enjoy everything the Northern Hills has to offer!

Lookout Tower is very close to our other Gilded Mountain properties (within walking distance) - Powder Ridge, Coach House, Claim Jumper, Saloon Cabin, Lazy Bear Lodge, and Gold Camp Lodge. So you can enjoy bringing large groups, and still have the peace of going back to separate cabins.

Great Location

Close to town, but feels secluded. Very clean and fully stocked kitchen. The three levels really helped the three family groups have their own space. Beautiful decks and fire pit. The hot tub was a bonus!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a BEAUTIFUL cabin! Very clean, decorated so cute, and very practical.

My legs for sure are in better shape now - ha! Overall, our (11 of us girls total), stay was amazing. The check out list made it very easy so we knew everything we had to get done. Would absolutely recommend!

Great Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Lookout Tower was perfect for our little family reunion in the Black Hills. We found the place to be very clean upon arrival and the twelve of us very comfortably fit in the accommodations. The place was very well stocked. We erred on the side of bringing along a few things that we were not sure would be there, but that turned out to be a waste of time as the lodging had everything we needed. I definitely recommend the Lookout Tower for your trip to SD.

Perfect

This was our family's 3rd yr in the area and Lookout Tower was by far the best vaca rental. Great location to all things for family to do. Gorgeous property. Great area for old and young. The grandbabies had a blast in the heated pool. Had visitors (deer) many times. Definitely would book again!

Wonderful vacation home for our family time

We found it a very enjoyable experience including the location. The home was beautiful & cozy & the kitchen was well stocked. The furnishings were all in great shape & the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the multiple common areas. We took advantage of the amenities the clubhouse & pool offered.

Great Place For a Family of 5.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Lookout Tower was a fun place to stay. Very clean when we arrived, with plenty of supplies to make our stay comfortable. The location was close to many fun things in the Black Hills (Deadwood, trails, activities, etc..). Our kids enjoyed the swimming pool at the club house as well. We will be coming back yearly, either this location or another managed by BH Adventure Lodging.

Exceptional cabin/location - mediocre cleaning crew!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin itself was in an exceptional location - perfectly situated between Terry's Peak/Lead (5 minutes) and Spearfish Canyon (10-15 minutes). The scenery was beautiful, and our kids especially loved the "tree house" feel of this multi-level home. The hot tub on the patio was so enjoyable! It was a fun getaway with grandparents and extended family!! Sadly, while the cabin felt clean overall, we were shocked when reviewing the checkout instructions which asked that we strip all of the sheets, but leave the blankets/comforters. While I realize this is probably more common practice in the hotel industry than I care to know - with the current pandemic, it left us with an uneasy feeling. We were also asked to do all of the dishes, take out all trash, start a load of towels, etc. I'm all for team work, but our previous stay at Molly's Folly didn't seem quite as labor intensive. Regardless, of that small disappointment, our experience was great and we would highly recommend going the cabin rental route over staying at a hotel...

Quarantine Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect, we had 3 children and 4 adults. Easy access to everything we wanted to do in Deadwood and Rapid City, with the comfort of a home to sleep in. Beds were very comfortable and sheets super soft. Laundry on site gave us the ability to pack lighter, the area was beautiful to explore, great neighborhood to walk around. The kids enjoyed the community pool- warmed water while the adults enjoyed the hot tubs at the community area as well as at the home. Great views off the upper all around deck. The only issue was that we didn't stay long enough, 3 nights were not enough!

Incredible Thanksgiving Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was so cozy and decorated so fun for Christmas. The bedrooms were very accommodating for all 11 of us. The hot tub outside made for an enjoyable time in the beautiful Black Hills. But, the best had to be the clubhouse heated outdoor pool and 2 hot tubs we enjoyed while it was snowing us all in. Property owner was incredibly responsive and worked with us when part of us our crew couldn't leave safely after over a feet of snow. The property was clean and had all we needed and then some! We would love to return to this location and recommend it to anyone.
