You’ll find this cozy and secluded rustic cabin right on the outskirts of the iconic Badlands National Park.
But if you’re looking for a luxurious stay, you better keep looking, because this cabin will make you feel as though you’re living in the 1880s. That’s right, this is a homestead that allows guests to sleep and experience life just as the settlers did, with no running water or electricity.
From the wooden stove and lantern lights to the nearby outdoor outhouse, you’re in for a truly authentic experience completely off the grid, surrounded by the gorgeous South Dakota landscape on the edge of White River.
If you’re staying during the winter, be sure you bring enough wood to comfortably heat the cabin!
Though you will have plenty of privacy during your stay, the gracious hosts (Amy and Phil) will be available for any assistance you may need. You’ll find the Circle View Guest Ranch just a 5-minute drive from the homestead where they will serve you a DELICIOUS home-cooked breakfast each morning that you will absolutely rave over. In fact, if you read their reviews, you’ll see that some guests even describe it as the best meal they’ve ever had.
The Circle View Guest Ranch is also a place where you can feel free to fill up your water jugs and take advantage of their modern bathrooms. (You won't be made fun of for doing the latter.)
If guests are interested, after breakfast they can feed the hosts’ chickens, meet Oompa the Calf, or say hello to the burros!
The Homestead Cabin that can accommodate up to 4 people is the perfect place to stay after spending the day exploring the Badlands. Exact information on location will be given after a confirmed booking. To learn more about this unique cabin, read reviews, and obtain information on pricing, feel free to browse the website.
