Lovely lodge

Beautiful location, friendly staff, two nice rooftop hot tubs, a great restaurant on site, comfortable rooms. Multiple hikes to waterfalls on site or a very short drive away. The only things to know ahead of time—1) there are two floors but no elevator, 2) the water in our room smelled strongly of sulfur. I did not see that information in any of the reviews I read. Sulfur water is safe, it’s just kind of gross.

Beutiful location

It’s in a beautiful location. The facilities are outdated. The toilet is short with a cheap lid the showerhead stains and scarring on it from years of use the water hammered when I was showered, and after I drank the coffee I had severe stomach pains, perhaps from the heavy iron in the water as can be seen in the shower tub.

I enjoyed my time at Spearfish Canyon. I got lucky and had a two night day in between two rush periods during the summer. The only drawback I saw was the walls are on the thin side and any conversations, which luckily it wasn’t busy, in the hallway can be heard through throughout the room. Other than that, it was beautiful surroundings, fabulous room, enjoyed it.
