Thunderhead Falls is your perfect paradise in the Black Hills! This amazing log home features gorgeous Rapid Creek frontage. From the soft sounds of the waterfall to the natural rock formations and hiking trails out your back door, this property is one of a kind. The interior is equally impressive with all the natural details used to build this log home. The main suite overlooks the creek with its personal walk-out deck. After a day of exploring, come home to relax in front of one of the two wood fireplaces, pamper yourself with some time in the private steam shower or jetted tub, or challenge a friend to a game of pool. The large backyard will allow you to enjoy hours of relaxation and fun. Thunderhead Falls features paved roads and it is only minutes from town.

Big and remote with all the amenities
The place was great. Bigger than the pictures suggest. Has all the amenities and comfort you could ask for when traveling. Nice beds and pillows, blankets for the couches, fully stocked kitchen utensils with oils salt pepper etc, detergent and fabric softener for the washer/dryer, beach towels for the creek/hot tub etc. You can tell they try to make you comfortable. Some maintenance issues, mainly the deck and bridge, but that's clearly being worked on. Our only real complaint is the toilet paper which was not much better than what you'd get at a rest stop on the highway. And maybe a better/bigger living room tv. The p;ace is so big it's hard to see the tv unless you're sitting close to it.

The stay was very good and the house was beautiful. The location was great and had wildlife walking through the backyard. The creek was nice to listen to as we relaxed in the hot tub. Overall, it was a good experience.

Stay in the Black Hills
The property is a great location, remote but very close to Rapid City. The creek outside is amazing, great view, and easy trailers for our ATVs. So relaxing - I will go back.
