Picture this: fresh mountain air, a steaming hot tub under the Black Hills sky, your crew spread across three floors of a custom cabin — kids in the bunk room, couples in their own en-suite retreats, everyone gathered at the fireplace as the snow falls outside. Lost Camp Lodge is built for the trip your family talks about for years. Minutes from Terry Peak, 4 miles from Deadwood, and packed with extras no other cabin in the Hills can match.
ABOUT THIS SPACE
Lost Camp Lodge is a custom 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath mountain cabin for up to 12 guests across three distinct floors — built for groups who want full comfort without compromise.
MAIN FLOOR — Soaring vaulted ceilings, warm wood finishes, and a stone gas fireplace anchor the open great room. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping pine forest views that guests mention in nearly every review. The chef's kitchen features a high-end gas range, a large island with bar seating, full cooking basics, wine glasses, a blender, and everything you need for a group meal. The dining table seats everyone together. A private en-suite bedroom with a full bath on this level is ideal for grandparents or anyone who prefers easy ground-floor access.
UPPER LEVEL — Two en-suite bedrooms each with a private full bath. Perfect for couples who want their own space. A loft lounge with a smart TV is a quieter adult retreat away from the action. The upper deck opens to sweeping forest views — bring coffee up here on the first morning.
BUNK ROOM — Built-in bunks on the upper level that kids immediately claim as their own. Directly across from a parent bedroom so families stay close without being on top of each other.
LOWER LEVEL — The entertainment hub: foosball, pool table, mini golf, and arcade games all in the game room. A second TV lounge below for more relaxed evenings. A fourth en-suite bedroom with a private bath offers complete separation from the rest of the house.
OUTDOORS — Private covered hot tub on the lower deck (open 24 hrs, heated year-round). Main deck with a natural gas grill, outdoor dining furniture, fire pit, and mountain views that go golden at sunset.
EXTRAS — Starlink WiFi, EV charger, dedicated workspace, washer/dryer, pack-n-play, high chair, A/C, room-darkening shades, and a fully stocked kitchen.
