This was a wonderful place to stay. The staff was courteous and accommodating. The beds were comfortable. The view was amazing. With 2 full kitchens there was enough space for our entire party. Will definitely return

My parents and 9 siblings and their families (which is over 50) has a family reunion every other year, and we usually go to beautiful Colorado and stay in amazing resort locations. This year we decided to try something different and chose Rapid City and Canyon Lake Resort to try something new. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY! The lodge was by far the best we have stayed at- it had everything we needed, was incredibly spacious, and had great areas to hang out with our very large group.

We had our family reunion here in July and stayed in both levels of the main lodge. It was far better than we had anticipated. Everything was so clean and spacious. Great for the 20 adults and 30 kids running around! It has the most beautiful scenery and lots of windows to enjoy the views. The upstairs dining area provided an especially nice view and was a great place for the adults to congregate in the evenings while the kids played outside or in the downstairs playroom (ping pong table, pinball machine, etc.).

Hands down this was the best place our family has stayed! 48 of us with 32 kids 5 months to 17 years. We were blown away by the accommodations! Bedrooms and baths huge- had everything we needed. Beautiful scenery and so much to do for all. Owners and staff were extremely friendly and helpful! All of us voted - best place by far and exceeded all our expectations!

The Canyon Lake Resort was a fabulous place to stay! We recommend it. The place was well taken care of, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s easy to tell that the owners pay attention to details in order to have lodging that travelers will enjoy and return to. Very reasonable rates, too.

We had our 39th annual family reunion and were thrilled with our accommodations. We rented both levels of the lodge and various cabins and hotel rooms. Not one of those disappointed us. The patio! The view! The kitchen complete with utensils, dishware, etc. was perfect for cooking and serving 60+people. The bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms were varied in how many they slept so all our various families were comfortable. Thank you for a great place for our family to continue our tradition in style!
