Top Thunderhead Falls Hotel Reviews

New! Hilltop House in the Canyon

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful, spotless clean home. Comfortable king size bed, beautiful views from the deck, plenty of seating, and completely stocked with everything we needed. Not just 2 but 3 bathrooms, laundry, and a garage. Check in was very easy, and host was quick to respond to all of our questions. A great choice for visiting Rapid City or the Black Hills."

Quiet setting centrally located six miles west of Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"Beds-comfortable & clean. I have a terrible back & this mattress/pillow combo was amazing. House-clean, nicely kept, everything we needed for a 4 day stay. Washer/dryer would have been nice, but we made due without. Cupboards were stocked with necessities so that we didn't need to get much at the grocery store. Hosts-spectacular! Warm, welcoming, very friendly & helpful! Area-great! We took a walk & enjoyed the view of everything. Wildlife In the backyard was awesome. The only con was the bees/wasps. We couldn't really enjoy outside during the day because they would swarm us. I'd suggest having wasp spray on hand. So much to do on the property & off. We would definitely come back."

Quiet Cabin on the Cliff + Hot Tub + Stunning Black Hills Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was clean, quiet, cozy, and very comfortable. The hot tub was well-maintained and a great way to relax after a long day. We also loved how private the property felt. The cabin has a few charming older home quirks and is a bit dated, but that just added to its character. The host were fantastic and it was obvious they genuinely cared about making sure their guests had an enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again!"

❖Charming Log Cabin❖Firepit❖Great Deck with Grill❖

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet, off the beaten path location nestled in nearly on the end of a deadend canyon road. Nice deck to eat , talk, watch wildlife and grill. Small steep uphill driveway, if you bring a trailer you'll want to park it on the edge of the road. The only bathroom is accessible through 1 bedroom. Window air conditioner in kitchen, air flow doesn't reach back bedroom. Kitchen amply stocked with utensils and basic core ingredients. Had a couple minor maintenance issues, host managed them quickly. No phone service that far in the canyon but cabin has WIFI."

Creek-side Paradise + Hot Tub + Bar + Sleeps 8 + Black Hills

10/10 Excellent

"The house was spotless, comfortable, and had a warm rustic charm. It was exceptionally well stocked, and whenever a need arose, the hosts responded quickly and took care of it right away.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found it to be the perfect central location for exploring everything this area of South Dakota has to offer. In the evenings, we loved relaxing on the deck, sitting by the rushing creek, or unwinding in the hot tub.We prepared breakfast and dinner each day and packed picnic lunches for our adventures. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, making meal preparation easy and enjoyable. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area."
