I debated for quite a while on providing a review because of my mixed feelings. The owners and staff are very pleasant. They are kind, knowledgeable and they provided a comfortable environment for the few days that we stayed at the Circle View Ranch. The owners warned us ahead of time to bring food for lunches and supper which was... More

After taking some last minute advice from a TA member in the South Dakota Forum, we decided to spend a 2 nights/3 day stay in The Badlands (Sept. 3-5, 2011) at the Circle View Guest Ranch. The ranch is owned and operated by Phil and Amy Kruse, a lovely married couple with 3 small children, The location was perfect, sitting... More

The CVGR is, like the badlands, in the middle of nowhere. It may be a little difficult to find and the drive up to this B&B can be a little testy, but it is worth it. The CVGR sits atop a hill and offers a picturesque view of the badlands and of a winding river. The Kruse family make a... More

This is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for a change of pace and scenery. Our family of four (2 adults early 30's and 2 children ages 3 1/2 and 7 yrs old) decided to "rough" it out for a change!!! At the end of a two week vacation traveling WY and SD...We stop at CV Guest... More

We stayed at Circle View two nights on a recent trip to the Badlands. The ranch is on the top of a plateau with terrific views of "badlands" scenery in every direction. Our room faced South overlooking the river and distant mountains. The room and bathroom were very clean and the room was quite well appointed. The common area was... More

We stayed at Phil and Amy's B&B ranch for two nights and wished we could have stayed longer but our flight home to the UK was the following day. It was bigger than I expected with lots of guests – about 20 on our first night and about 12 on our second night. There was a small kitchenette for guests... More

Our stay at Circle View Guest ranch was the best experience ever! First time we stayed at a B&B in the USA. A beautiful location with view of the Badlands, very peaceful and quiet, great to relax after a day of hiking. Only 6 miles from the NP. The breakfast is superb. The owners are very friendly and helpful. This... More

We are so glad we selected this property to stay at in the Badlands. It is a really unique, beautiful location--don't miss it! It was very cozy and clean and had a nice little kitchenette for you to use during your stay. Don't miss out on breakfast--Amy's breakfasts were some of the best meals we had overall in South Dakota!!... More

This place is ideal for exploring the Badlands. It is in a great location on a butte and we spent 3 nights in a clean and comfortable room out to the back of the house with a great view of the river. As others have already pointed out it is in a remote location (which is something we liked about... More
