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.

Beautiful log cabin. Very responsive host. Super close to Terry Peak. Reduced rating since it was listed to sleep 16 people and only had beds for 14. We had to buy an air mattress for everyone to sleep.
The place was great, cozy, great accomodarions. However, the hot tub was a headache the entire time and a few of the tvs didnt work well. Overall, we enjoyed our time.
The house was very clean, loved having two dishwashers! The grill provided was in excellent condition and easy to use. The game room was great! Also the host was super accommodating!

Our favorite cabin in this Black Hills!
We've been staying at Black Diamond every year for the last 10 years. It's a wonderful cabin with plenty of accomodations, a spacious kitchen, 5 bedrooms and a hottub. It had a huge wrap around deck overlooking Spearfish Canyon.
I look forward to coming back every year and highly recommend it to anyone looking for lodging in the Terry Peak area.
I loved the 5 king size beds and many full bathrooms. Multiple living rooms, and 3 porches with so much space! We were a group of 12 and had a wonderful time in this black hills retreat.

We have taken note of the specific concerns you mentioned and have already passed this feedback on to our local team for immediate review and action. Thank you for letting us know of these concerns, we are hoping to have the opportunity to host you once again the next time.
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.
We had 4 families and everyone fit perfectly! The cabin is gorgeous and they were so helpful. Let us in early and out late! Will be back for sure!

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!

Great Cabin - Highly Recommend
Our family of 15 were thrilled with this cabin. Great view from the deck! Truly an Executive Cabin with all necessary amenities - kitchen appliances, dishes, cookware, paper products, etc. There is a grocery store in deadwood where we purchased food as our drive from home was 8+ hours. The hot tub was very nice and worked perfectly. Having 2 laundry facilities was perfect. Games for the young children to play plus the upper deck was large enough to ride their scooters. 2 dishwashers was also a big help as dirty dishes galore with meals for our large family.
The WiFi is a bit slow but I did contact the main office notifying them.
The grandchildren enjoyed seeing the deer and the baby fawn in the front area.
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.
