Howdy,
Welcome to the unique and picturesque Badlands of South Dakota! The Badlands are not only known for their beauty but this area is rich in fossils, fantastic sunrises, sunsets and clear blue skies that stretch from horizon to horizon.

This area is used primarily for ranching and therefore was shared by the cowboy and the Native American Indian. It was the Wild West where frontiersmen struggled to survive. The winters are cold and brutal and the summers are gloriously warm and dry with humidity normally less than 20%.

Our family homesteaded in this area in 1905 so as our guest you will feel not only the open and secluded feeling as the cowboy did but hear about the Old West as it really was. We still operate a 200 head cattle ranch so western hospitality is not an advertising slogan, it's a way of life.

Our goal is to make your trip to the Badlands one of most enjoyable and memorable trips ever. In addition to a very scenic and comfortable place to stay we offer a swimming pool, arcade room, souvenir shop, groceries, ice, camping supplies, petting zoo with a live buffalo-"Henrietta", ice-cold beer, fresh buffalo burgers and Angus beef burgers.

Our restaurant, open June 1st through October 1st serves breakfast from 7:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. specializes in "all you can eat sourdough pancakes" made from sourdough starter that is over 100 years old and was actually carried on a wagon train in the frontier days.
Dinner is served from 5:00 P.M. to 9.00 P.M. where the specialty is " all you can eat cowboy stew" with a generous amount of 100% Angus sirloin steak cut into stew meat. We also serve buffalo burgers, large buffalo hotdogs, and 100% Angus burgers.

Enjoy the Badlands and experience a taste of the Wild West. Adios till we meet again.
