WHY IS IT SO SPECIAL?

 

Circle View Guest Ranch is located on an incredible 3,000 acres only 6 miles from Badlands National Park, and one hour from Rapid City.

 

Expansive views, incredible skies, and unforgettable sunsets are all part of the experience.

 

The ranch inspires romance, so be prepared. Your host, Philip, was actually born and raised on the ranch. He met Amy when she interned from Arizona, now, happily married, they look after couples just like you to give you an experience you will never forget.

 

During your stay, not only can you escape away together for some privacy and quiet, but you can also get an insight into a real working ranch. There are free range chickens to feed, horeseback rides, and sweet Burros waiting to make friends.

 

In true Old West ranch style, watch the stars come out over the communal outdoor bonfire. An experience not to be missed.

 

There are eight charming guest rooms to choose from, and each come with a full ranch breakfast every morning. The decor in each celebrate the energy of the USA, and reflect the ambience and innocence of the American west.

 

The breakfast itself is worth the stay. The Kruse family kitchen is where you will find some incredible locally grown foods to start your day. Should buffalo cross your plate, it will hail from the nearby Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Eggs come from the on-site Hen Hotel. If you try the Whole-Wheat blueberry pancakes, you'll know the wheat is freshly grown within yards from your table. Tator tots, homemade granola, hashbrown casserole...it's modern Badlands food with heart.

 

You will truly feel like you are absorbing the energy of South Dakota

During your stay, try and explore the rich history surrounding the Circle View Guest Ranch. There are iconic attractions such as Crazy Horse Monument and Mount Rushmore a reasonable drive away. There is history galore with 1880 Town which can really take you back, and wildlife calling with the Wild Horses Refuge. A truly iconic site.

 

So take some time out of your busy lives, and escape into a magical part of the USA. It's truly captivating, and you will come away with a renewed look on life.
