This past summer we went on a 45-day vacation throughout the west. I wanted to see the Badlands and found that there were very few good lodging options, until I found Circle View Ranch! My 7 year-old son said Circle View Ranch was his favorite part of the whole trip. (I best not tell his Grandparents, whom we also visited.)... More

My husband and I celebrated our second anniversary with a trip throughout (mostly) South Dakota and Circle View was the first place we stayed. Y'all... it is so, so beautiful out there. Really and truly. Also, their animals are super sweet. Also (and I have no idea what one other reviewer was even talking about), the kids who live on... More

Not a typical B&B; it's a ranch and it's a family residence. Understanding that going in, we spent two nights in late September and could not have more pleased with the experience. The location, views, atmosphere, value ... the whole personality of the place, was a wonderful way to start our Badlands and Black Hills vacation. The actual location is... More

Circle View Ranch met all of our expectations. We had great correspondence with the owners before our trip and knew exactly what we wanted to do upon arrival. They had asked if we wanted to join the German bicyclists as they were cooking a meal for them, but we declined and chose instead to eat at the nearby Cedar Pass... More

Had a wonderful overnight stay here. Fantastic location -isolated and peaceful. Wonderful hosts and family. The breakfast was to die for -homemade blueberry pancakes, eggs from their chickens, homemade granola. Shame we were only there for 1 night.

Amy, Philip and their family were great hosts to us. On our first night there, we arrived after everyone had gone to sleep and our room was ready, light on and door open for our arrival. In the morning, the family greeted us with smiles and an amazing breakfast. With the sun up, you are able to see the breathtaking... More

We had booked for just one night on a road trip to Yellowstone. Wonderful location on top of a Butte in Badlands NP. Hank, the resident guard dog, was an excellent guide on our walk and a friend when we sat and relaxed. Very comfortable and clean rooms, with fantastic views on all sides. Sunset was particularly spectacular, followed by... More

My wife and I stayed at Circleview in August on our way to the Black Hills. I had stayed there in 2011 for a Pairie Dog shooting trip. Both stays were enjoyable. In 2011 we rented the Cowboy cabin and this year we stayed in a room in the main building. Breakfast was awesome both times! The evening of our... More

We stayed here for one night at the end of a long family trip... and it was the highlight of our vacation. The views and scenery and just stunning... absolutely breath-taking at sunset. The place itself is very clean and comfortable, with lots to do for the kids. And then breakfast was amazing on top of all that! We most... More

The views from the top of the butte are amazing. The owners are warm and provide ample breakfasts made from scratch. We stayed one night in the 1880's homestead. Going one night without indoor plumbing or electricity was a perfect break from our gadget filled lives. Our daughter loved the burros and the chickens.
