Buffalo Thunder Lodge | 7 Bed, 5 Bath

Here's what guests say about this vacation rental: "We LOVED our stay at the Buffalo Thunder Lodge! We booked the lodge because it could sleep 23 family members that we were meeting for our Family Reunion. We wanted something that we could all stay in but have enough beds for all of us. We were so pleased with our stay. The lodge was central to all the things we were interested in seeing and doing. It was quiet and the men in the family loved the pool table. The deck outside is a wonderful addition and we spent most of our evenings outside."

This is the perfect lodging for large and small groups.  You can rent the whole Black Hills vacation home, which will sleep 26 people.  Or if you have a smaller group, you can rent the lower "Bunk Suite" with one large bunk room that has 3 queen beds and a sofa sleeper, 1 bedroom with a queen bed, 1 full bath, washer/dryer and a kitchen/dining room with another sofa sleeper.  This can sleep 12.

The "Executive Suite" has 2 King beds, 4 queen beds and 1 sofa sleeper and can sleep 14.  It also has a spacious living room, large kitchen/dining room, 3 bathrooms, washer & dryer and large deck with patio furniture.

Fun with friends in Deadwood!

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!

Tong Reunion

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.

Family Reunion

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.

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.

Great Location!

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.

Family reunion (10 siblings)

Especially loved the large covered deck. Spent hours chatting, laughing, cooking, eating and even enjoying the motorcycle traffic. The game room was lotsa fun. Being close to the downtown area was a big plus, too. It was perfect for our family!
