Rim Rock Lodge

My husband and I stayed at Rim Rock Lodge Spruce Cabin July 11-13, 2024. Our stay was above and beyond our expectations. The property is just 15 minutes from downtown Spearfish yet secluded in Spearfish Canyon, close to several hiking trails and waterfalls. We did not arrive until after 7:00pm, but the owners Geoff and Lori both greeted us with smiles and spent ample time orienting us to their beautiful historic property. They led us in their golf cart to the cabin as we followed in our car as well as offered to assist with luggage. The cabin is exactly as pictured online. The furnishings are beautiful and the cabin was immaculate. The owners made sure that they had turned the air conditioning on and had the cabin nice and cool for our arrival. They also gave us a basket of grilling tools, dishes, dish soap, etc. We did not lack for anything. My favorite part was after the sun went down, we sat in our own private outdoor space watching fireflies and stargazing at the millions of stars in the dark sky. The lodge does not have wifi at the cabins, but it is available in the area near guest registration that has ample seating both inside and out. In the mornings, we were provided a continental breakfast buffet. It had great variety and even had offerings for anybody needing gluten free options. On the morning that we checked out, we had to leave really early (before breakfast was out), but Geoff was out and offered to give us coffee to go. The owners have thought of everything to make their guests’ stays perfect. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful stay in the Birch Cabin. Easy check-in/out process. Friendly and helpful hosts made stay a breeze. Accommodations were clean and comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Bonus back porch was a wonderful little oasis to pause and enjoy the scenery. Make sure to check out the Art Walk and stroll up the hill to even more fabulous vistas of the canyon.

Our cabin was immaculately clean and comfortable.. The owner/hosts are convivial and a fount of knowledge on the area. The setting both scenic and convenient to Spear Fish. We will definitely stay here again whenever we return to the Black Hills area.

We stayed in the Tatanka suite with a great large deck and wonderful view of Spearfish Canyon. The room is spacious and very clean. The bed is comfortable and even in the summer we only used the air condition twice to cool off the room. Geoff and Lori were awesome! They provided a great continental breakfast during the week then on the weekend cooked a wonderful, tasty breakfast. There was a grill to use but we didn't cook, but all dishes and utensils are available. If you want beer, wine, snacks or ice cream it's all there too. We walked up the artist path to the over look to see the stars, what a view! This was a wonderful vacation and we would definitely stay at Rim Rock again.

From the moment we arrived, we were in love with the place! Geoff and Lori were such gracious and attentive hosts. They greeted us, told us a bit about the history of the property, showed us to our suite (the Margaret Bridge), and asked if we needed assistance with luggage or if we might like to sit on the deck with some wine or a beer. Throughout our stay, we saw them frequently and they were very attentive, even coming out to check on us upon arrival after some bad weather in the area one evening. They had great suggestions about what to see in the canyon and shared about the wildlife in the area. It was just the perfect getaway for my husband and I. I really hope to make it a regular trip. There is so much to see and do, but I could also just spend all my time on the fantastic deck watching the world go by. Thank you Geoff and Lori for making our 25th anniversary trip special by sharing your corner of the world with us.

This was our first stop of our 2,981 mile trip on our Harley Davidson and our route was from Rapid City via South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and ended in Denver Colorado. Last year we saw these cabins nestled in the canyon and decided we would look it up for this year and try and book. Luckily we managed to secure a booking and what a wonderful stay it turned out to be. The host were incredibly friendly and our welcome was the best we received. The cabin, the Ponderosa was nestled in the woods and exquisitely furnished and spacious. The cabin was absolutely spotless and at night you could hear the stream ....The stars were so bright you could see millions and so colorful was the galaxy. The views from the top over the canyon were spectacular. The breakfast in the mornings were scrumptious and simply great coffee as well. Each morning we sat under the trees for breakfast listing to the stream rush by and the birds tweeting all around us. So peaceful and tranquil and just a wonderful place to stay. We wished we could have stayed there longer. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for such a great stay

Beautiful, secluded and quiet are just a few words I would use to describe Rim Rock Lodge. The view out of the Tatanka suite where we stayed was absolutely amazing. The owners are wonderful people and I enjoyed getting to them. Our room was well kept with nicest bathroom of any hotel I've stayed in. We will definitely stay there again if we return to Spearfish.

It was such a beautiful place to stay. The owners were very nice. They had a lot of different types/kinds of wine for guests to try for a small fee. Their little shop was good too. Sitting out of the deck and listening to the water rush down the stream was very relaxing. Very close to Bridal Veil falls. My husband and I stayed in the Tatanka Suite beautiful views from the deck. The rooms and accommodations were just amazing! Rim Rock Lodge will not disappoint you at all!
