Thunderhead Falls Lodge
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Thunderhead Falls is your perfect paradise in the Black Hills! This amazing log home features gorgeous Rapid Creek frontage. From the soft sounds of the waterfall to the natural rock formations and hiking trails out your back door, this property is one of a kind. The interior is equally impressive with all the natural details used to build this log home. The main suite overlooks the creek with its personal walk-out deck. After a day of exploring, come home to relax in front of one of the two wood fireplaces, pamper yourself with some time in the private steam shower or jetted tub, or challenge a friend to a game of pool. The large backyard will allow you to enjoy hours of relaxation and fun. Thunderhead Falls features paved roads and it is only minutes from town.
