My husband and I and another couple spent four delightful days at this very special B&B. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and were sad when it was time to check out. The home is lovely; the location is perfect for sight seeing in the Black Hills; and the two suites are decorated very attractively and are spacious and... More

Our stay with Marilyn and Al was wonderful. We had traveled with another couple so rented both spacious suites.

We stayed at Marilyn and Al's B&B at the beginning of September and although we orginally only booked the two rooms detailed on the website, they were kind enough to open up a third guest room, which they do occasionally, so that we could meet up with family and spend some quality time together. The rooms were all great and... More
