The Buffalo Thunder Lodge was a great place to stay for a weekend getaway. The place was really clean, the host was good about being responsive and it was in the perfect location of town. Would definitely recommend this place to stay.
A group of us nurses that work together have come to Deadwood several times in the last three years. We hike, gamble, shop and grill and chill at the cabin. We love the game room the large deck and the hot tub. Perfect for our group . Always a great time thanks for having us !
This was a perfect house for our large group of friends! Plenty of rooms for everyone and the garage/bar was a great place to hang out! Also, the trolley stop in the parking lot was a great feature!
Large house plenty of beds for our family reunion (16 people) griddle on the deck perfect for cooking breakfast for a large group. Great location for visiting the sites. The garage large enough for big groups of people perfect evening meeting place.
Everything was as advertised. The grill and blackstone made meals and cleanup simple and easy. Garage/Gathering area was perfect to keep most activity away from main sleeping areas. We enjoyed our stay and recommend for anyone in the deadwood area.
Fantastic property, lots of space and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms! We all had a great time. The Trolley stop was a great perk. Close to many sites. Lots of room for vehicles and trailer. Extra parking area was beneficial for the smaller kids to play.
The location is great and is on the Deadwood Trolley route, the check-in code was confusing because there were a few different doors and the code only worked on the one. They are slow to responding if you text. The propane was empty for the grill and the hot tub thermostat must be on the fritz because we had to lower the temp down to 98 before it was a temp we could sit in.
Perfect place, description was spot on!! We couldn’t have found a better place to be together. Seven sibling and family with plenty of space to hang out together or in small groups.
Check in was seamless, team was responsive any questions. We had everything we expected.
Kitchen, deck and community spaces were our frequent hang outs. The party room and hot tub were a hit.
Having the trolly stop right in front was an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed Deadwood.
Day trips to Mount Rushmore, Spearfish Canyon, Custer… All close and memorable.
We had a blast and could not recommend more highly. I am sure family members will be back.
Thank you for a delightful stay.
Another great stay! We have rented it several times and it never disappoints. Large enough to accomodate several couples and the location is convenient and on the trolley route.
Stay was excellent for our group. We did a little bit of everything, cooking and hanging out in the garage/game room. Would definitely stay here again for a future vacation.
