Top Center Lake Hotel Reviews

Romantic, Peaceful Getaway; Within 10 Mi of Mt. Rushmore & Custer State Park

10/10 Excellent

"Was an amazing stay for couples, great views, off the main roads, but still easy to get to, close to Kaystone or Rapid City. Easily recommend."

Majestic Cabin near Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place to stay in the area! The home is quiet, located in a tucked-away area within easy driving distance of all major attractions in the area. The home was immaculate throughout and filled with quality furnishings that accentuated the luxurious rustic theme. The host was very responsive to a few questions prior to our visit and provided more than enough supplies for the week. The kitchen had all the equipment needed for chef-style meal preparation and the general layout of primary suite and other bedrooms separated by the common space provided plenty of space to gather or for alone time. The pictures provide a small glimpse of the magnificence of the home. Overall, a true lodging extraordinaire in an incredibly beautiful natural setting!"

Ghost Canyon Getaway Unit #3

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Convenient for sightseeing in any direction. Very clean. Easy check in. Good communication with the host. Also, simple check out routine. The only caution I would mention is the pull out couch is pretty uncomfortable. My son found it better to just sleep on the couch rather than pulling it out to a bed."

Ghost Canyon Getaway "Cabin" #4

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin is beautiful yet far off the beaten path. I hadn’t taken a screen shot of the check in process prior and we didn’t have service upon arrival. We also had issues with the TV but that is expected when we are so far out. Overall, it was great; especially the back porch."
