Priceless Mt. Rushmore View- Two master suites!

PRICELESS MT RUSHMORE VIEW! You can enjoy the Wall Street Journal House of the Week (June 2019)!

With the best views in the Black Hills! **ADDED IN WINTER 2023 IS A SECOND MASTER SUITE IN THE MAIN HOUSE**

Out of this world custom designed, Dick Knecht architectural masterpiece home and guest tower at private Lakota Lakes Community. Situated in close proximity to Custer State Park, some of the most beautiful and sought-after land in the Black Hills.
No expense spared in the details that make this home a fine piece of art. The open floor plan, floor to ceiling windows, infinite corner windows, and deck. The main home has TWO luxurious master suites, gourmet kitchen, living, dining, den, pantry and huge deck for enjoying the direct view of Mount Rushmore. Plus, the guest “Tower” reminiscent of the fire tower on Black Elk Peak, beside the main home, is made to look like the Harney Peak lookout tower. With two bathrooms, queen suite on the first floor and four twin trundle bedroom (yes, sleeps 7 in twins!) on second floor. A FULL 360 degree viewing deck on top with a spiral staircase connecting all - perfectly enchanting for sunset drinks.

Construction is finished and new washer and dryer operational.

Come relax in the serenity of this enchanting community surrounded by miles & miles of USFS. Walk to Lakota Lake for kayaking, fishing, or viewing pleasure. This tranquil retreat is just 45 min from Rapid City on paved roads all the way to the front door! One of only three Wilderness Preservation Communities in SD. They are very conscious of not disturbing nature and taking good care of the land so all the homes seem to rise from the earth.

This home is available year-around, but we are sensitive to the mountainous roads during winter months. Snow removal is provided, but not on a daily basis. We will work with you in planning your trip, to avoid any winter road hazards.

Black Hills ‘24
House was amazing. Architecture is really cool. Just a couple suggestions. 1) might be on us but look out tower houses most of the bedrooms. We had littles which meant they were in a separate building. Would have liked to have known. 2) they are tight w their towel game. Only two towels per bathroom which for an extended stay was annoying. Otherwise it was a spectacular home w better views

Beautiful & Serene!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The home is set in the woods and is private and peaceful. You don’t see any other homes but the view of Mount Rushmore from the kitchen/deck is spectacular! The 2 master suites worked out well for the 4 of us but the new/additional master was a little too warm at night without shades on any of the windows. The beds were very comfy. The deck is large and a great place to have coffee in the morning and is also perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking/exploring. The kitchen is well stocked for dinner at home. Going to dinner at either Keystone or Custer is a short drive but plugging restaurant directions in at the house is necessary before you leave and lose a signal in the hills. Communication with the host was excellent.

A once in a lifetime experience!
We have traveled all over the world, and this is one of the most amazing properties we have ever stayed at. It's a truly extraordinary house. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. The views of Mount Rushmore are so beautiful, and the house is so tranquil, well appointed, and serene. Pictures don't really do it justice. I so hope we can return and add a few extra days just to enjoy the quiet.

Absolutely Perfect
I loved everything about this home. My favorite part was waking up to see our 4 best friends on Mt. Rushmore every morning while enjoying a cup of coffee and getting to see them illuminated at night before going to bed. Our kids loved running and playing around the property and there is plenty of space for everyone inside as well. The kids really enjoyed getting to stay in the "tower" while the adults enjoyed the double master bedrooms and spacious kitchen. It is also located close to all the fun activities the Black Hills have to offer, we will definitely be staying here again.

Great house but a few problems
This is a beautiful house in a great location. I would like to give it 5 stars, but a few problems prevent this. Poor communication from host. We were notified about lack of laundry facilities and construction in process less than a month before our trip (too late to make changes). I received the house rules (no TV, bring DVD’s, no shoes in the house, bring slippers) when I was at the airport heading west. We received no communication that we would have to walk through the construction to get to 5 of the 6 bedrooms, that the screened porch had been removed (there were hornets), nor about the non-functioning ice maker. Any group with mobility issues: Be aware that 5 of the 6 bedrooms are accessed through construction and 4 of the 5 bedrooms in the “bunkhouse” are on the second floor and are accessed by a spiral staircase. We were not able to bring our suitcases up to these bedrooms. Both bathrooms in the bunkhouse are on the first floor. Again, this is a beautiful house in a good location, and we had a nice time.

Property Not as Described.
The high excitement my wife, newborn and parents in law had leading up to the trip regarding the wonderful, beautiful location & property quickly faded once we realized Tina R. (owner) and Tina K. (manager) had grossly misrepresented the property. Upon arrival in April 2023, 1/3 of the compound was under construction and off-limits to us (told merely 24 hours before stay). Moreover, the laundry was non-functional with "out of order" signs upon arrival (not told before arrival; literally the first thing we saw as we talked in). Solution proposed by Tina K. was "there are laundromats 40 minutes away". Walking in mud/dirt/grass between the compounds at night was dangerous and filthy. Suffice to say, this was an absolute terrible experience at a high cost and I would never return to a property under similar management/ownership. Despite the beautiful location/views, I strongly recommend avoiding at all costs.

Mount Rushmore view house
House is beautiful! Obviously, the owner /builder took great pride in design and furnishing. Location is ideal. Perfect accommodations for a couple. Bedrooms for anyone else is in a separate structure. Some negatives: washing machine and dryer didn’t work hot water was dark and funky loud creaks in ceiling all times of day and night dead mouse in master closet, in trap for what appears to be weeks.

South Dakota Group Trip
The house was a wonderful home base for all our goals on this trip. We Drove to Devils Tower, (3 hours) Mammoth Site (Less than 1 1/2 hours), Crazy Horse (Less than 1 hour) Mount Rushmore (Less than 30 minutes) Wall Drug (1 1/2 Hours) & Badlands same day. As suggested if you do major grocery shopping you should do in Rapid City ... However, we discovered that the Lynn's Dakotamarts were really nice groceries... They had them in Custer. We didnt eat out except twice... Custer Wolf in Custer was really good!! and we ate at the cafe inside Wall Drug, it was surprisingly good... they also have amazing peanut butter fudge! Wonderful trip with friends overall!

Did not disappoint
Our family loved staying at this location. Having the tower space was perfect my adult children to convene in the later evening to continue their socializing and have space apart from us. The view was worth the cost. Keystone only 18 minutes away so it felt very isolated and peaceful yet in reach of civilization. Property was very clean, kitchen well stocked with non-food items, and beds were comfortable. I was not anticipating the creaking of the roof all day and night due to its expansion and contraction but felt better after realizing what it actually was. Still worth the stay!

This is truly a Beautiful home. Has all the amenities one needs for a relaxing getaway. If you are traveling with young children be aware the other rooms are off the main house in the tower.
