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.
