Great location on the edge of Custer SD. Close enough but very quiet. Owners are super nice, and helpful.

What we’d check for you here

That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.

Questions about Thunderheart

What time is check-in and check-out at Thunderheart?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Thunderheart allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Thunderheart?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does Thunderheart have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Thunderheart?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
