Description

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.

Our first attempt at a full family vacaton. It was great, we had room for all ages. It was nicely located, enjoyed the hot tub after a day of riding trails. The Lookout Tower was unique, we enjoyed the view and the cabin was relaxing and clean. Thank you for the memories, we would recommend it to everyone.

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.

We stayed a the Lookout Tower over St. Patty’s day and it was wonderful. The location was close enough for a short cab ride to Deadwood but we could also get away for some peace and quiet. The rental company ladies were also wonderful about quickly answering any questions we had throughout the stay!

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.

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!

Great Place For a Family of 5.

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.

We stayed in the Lookout Tower for five days and enjoyed every minute of it. It was clean and well maintained and ideal for our family of 6 adults and two lovely granddaughters. It was convenient to most of the highlights in the Black Hills and very easy access. I would certainly recommend it to friends or relatives.

Lookout Tower turned out to be a great cabin for our family. The rooms were well appointed and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed having access to the clubhouse for a family gathering. We liked the location - a good stepping off point all the places we wanted to see: Spearfish Canyon, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Rapid City and a good day trip to the Badlands. Lead has a good grocery store - and we like Redwater Kitchen in Spearfish so much that we had two meals there.

This is our annual trip for a week somewhere in the US or Canada, this year Black Hills. Property fit our needs as we had six men. All enjoyed the property and it suited our needs perfectly. Two items, the top bedrooms need window coverings, as the morning sun came through 4:30 AM and lacking closet space. We improvised with the windows. We would stay here again if we came back. Very cool property.

Very well thought out layout and well stocked. Felt like I overpacked for "just in case."

Enjoyed our stay at the Lookout Tower. Cabon was clean and well stocked. We were out of propane for the grill, but management brought some as soon as we contacted them.
