We stayed in one of the motel rooms with a view of Canyon Lake. The room was clean and was quiet. It is in a great location. The staff was friendly and helpful in providing directions and information about the area.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin at Canyon Lake Resort for 6 weeks while waiting to close on our house. The cleaning ladies were very friendly and attentive to all our needs. Lynn, the owner, was more than accommodating in making sure we could stay in one cabin for the entirety of our stay and was very flexible as... More

We stayed for 5 nights in a small one bedroom cabin. The large trees and green spaces that surrounded the cabin are lovely. The resort is located near Canyon Lake which is a beautiful area of Rapid City. The cabin was clean but is in desperate need of basic maintance. The furnance rattled everytime it kicked on. It was loud... More

I can't understand how anyone could give this place a good review. It does have the potential to be a very nice place, and maybe once upon a time it was, but the way it has been let go is a shame.

Our family rented the 3 bedroom cabin. It was roomie and clean. Their pool was clear. The kids had a ball with the paddle boats. Beds were great. Sheets were clean. This was our second trip there. The employees were friendly and prompt. I would go there a third time.
