We enjoyed our stay in the cozy cabin at Canyon Lake Resort. We were able to cook the fish we caught right outside and enjoy our supper in the nice outside area by our cabin. It was very quiet and relaxing.

Jessica, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed in the lodge part of the site. Nice, fairly spacious rooms. The staff were very helpful. Nice views with the lake close by.
Marianne, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

You need to bring own dishes and pots & pans to use the kitchen. This is a beautiful location and the room was sufficient for what we needed.
Jim, 3-night trip

Ernest, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was easy to check in after hours and a safe and quiet place to stop in the middle of a long road trip.
Alex, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room right by the lake with its small terrace offers plenty of space. The view of the lake and the free pedal boats make the lovely setting even better.
Ralf, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The motel room we stayed in was dated and the bed was really uncomfortable, however, the sweet lady at the front desk was so apologetic and kind. Her friendly personality and help with this matter made it a positive experience and I would recommend them.
Debbie, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

There was hair in the shower and bathtub and bugs crawling on the walls in the cottage. It didn't feel clean at all. Upside: it was quiet.
Jessica, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly people. Accommodating. Clean place and nice surroundings. No food options but dining not too far away! Comfy cozy bed!
Lisa, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I got a reservation for a nice room in the Lodge, but the Lodge is now closed and instead I got a very dated cabin nearby. I was disappointed they did not inform me that the Lodge was closed so that I could make alternate accommodations.
Susan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The lake setting was beautiful. It was an older property, but updates were done nicely and was clean and comfortable. The location for access to the Black Hills points of interest was great.

8/10 Very good

Our stay at Canyon Lake Resort fulfilled its objective as a quiet, clean, safe place to stay while we visited the Rapid City-area attractions. The motel lacked amenities you might find at a hotel, particularly regarding walkable restaurants or coffee shops, but those were only a drive away.
Jeff, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Peaceful, clean, and comfortable!

A great place to stop. Our room was easy to find, and was scrupulously clean. The resort has age, which shows in the little things such as some desilvering in the mirrors and some outdated decor. However the place was kept very tidy and appears well maintained. We were pleasantly surprised with the kitchenette in our room. The A/C worked great and the resort has many complementary amenities such as a fire pit (wood provided) and paddle boats. The area is quiet and peaceful. We had no issues during our stay and would gladly return.
Sydney, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rustic facilities; pretty location

Very dated facility. Like staying in your relative's guestroom. Older furniture; poor lighting in the room. But room opened to the lake, very pretty setting. Next to a very nice lake park.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cabins could use a little TLC (dripping faucets). No housekeeping service for the 3 night stay (towels with holes in them). Small pillows. Only 2 coffee discs for the entire weekend, Plus side -- well stocked fire pits and personal outdoor grills. Reunion building was great.
