Pat and John met us at the house when we arrived and showed us around. They were very friendly, answering our many questions. During our stay they reached out to us to see how we were doing. The house is very close to many tourist attractions, but still secluded and in a quiet area. We will definitely recommend Thunderheart to our friends. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chui Mei Jun 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Chui Mei Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > - [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > - [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > - [King's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chamberlain-Hotels-Kings-Inn.h19434979.Hotel-Information) > - [Cozy Black Hills Cabin! -- Morning Star Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cozy-Black-Hills-Cabin-Morning-Star-Lodge.h90728815.Hotel-Information) > - [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > - [Home2 Suites by Hilton Rapid City](https://www.expedia.ca/Rapid-City-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Rapid-City.h17793383.Hotel-Information) > - [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > - [Bent Nickel- Deadwood SD, 6 bed/5.5 bath, hot tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Sturgis-Hotels-Bent-Nickel-Deadwood-SD.h91022286.Hotel-Information) > - [Blackstone Lodge & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Deadwood-Hotels-Blackstone-Lodge-Suites.h4359843.Hotel-Information) > - [Innkeeper Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Aberdeen-Hotels-Innkeeper-Motel.h28805063.Hotel-Information) > - [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > - [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > - [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > - [Super 8 by Wyndham Aberdeen East](https://www.expedia.ca/Aberdeen-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Aberdeen-East.h459713.Hotel-Information) > - [White Lake Lodge and RV Campground](https://www.expedia.ca/Chamberlain-Hotels-Circle-K-Campground.h11582302.Hotel-Information) > - [Homestead House Vacation Home at Rustic Ridge in the Black Hills near Mt.
