What a pleasant surprise - not that far away as the crow flies from Deadwood and all of its 'excitement' , but worlds away from the noise and hectic atmosphere. Beautifully situated in the heart of Spearfish Canyon, the main lodge building is all wooden beams, stone fireplace and friendly service. The staff at the front desk was incredibly helpful and seemed truly concerned that we were happy. When we got into our room, after about 5 minutes, the phone rang and it was the front desk asking if the room was satisfactory. I was impressed. The room had all the ameneties (including robes and a cute stuffed bear cub set on the bed.) The only drawback I found was that the walls between the rooms could perhaps have been better insulated. If you had a noisy neighbor (we did not) it might have been an issue.

The restaurant across the street was excellent - highly recommend the trout!

We stayed for our second time at Spearfish Canyon Lodge on 5/16 /07. Four years prior, we had stayed for 2 evenings.

In addition to very comfortable beds , the Lodge boasts a more than adequate restaurant.

The circular main Lodge Room features a massive stone fireplace. Tall windows allow fortunate guests to have panoramic views of the Canyon. In an alcove guests can select from a series of adult beverages which then can be savored in the Lodge Room.

No double Makers Mark was ever more satisfying than in front of a blazing fire at this place, at that time.

More ambitious types can avail themselves of three trails which proceed from the Lodge. Two are easy and one is a nice climb to the top of the canyon. We took these trails our first time there.

In adition to the ambiance ,the staff were outstanding


We will definitely return for a longer time in the future.

Spent two very enjoyable days here in September, and wished we could have stayed longer. The Lodge is in a beautiful setting. Rooms were good, and the staff very friendly. The Latchstring restaurant had a very good dinner menu, and also opens for breakfast. The Lodge is a fair distance from Spearfish so allow 20 minutes plus if you are driving from I90. There are lots of lovely walks to take. We also found the guest laundry to be very useful.

We spent 10 days in the Black Hills. Originally, it was meant to be 7 but we were having such a great time and there was so much to do that we decided cancel our Denver excursion and stay in the Black Hills. The beauty of the area was stunning. One of the highlights was Spearfish Canyon and the lodge located there. We spent 2 nights at the lodge. It was very very nice and relaxing. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was wonderful. The lobby is beautifully decorated and was a great place to relax. We are hoping to go back soon.
