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 Ranches 1880' Cabin. I had called months prior to staying getting all the info we needed to enjoy our stay ( a very welcoming phone call). We brought our own sheets, water, food, lights for the evening and most of all an open mind because you never know what to expect when enjoying the outdoors. We really didn't go up to the B&B much because we where having to much fun playing in the creek every day, chasing the grasshoppers with the kids, finding interesting rocks, riding horses with the owners relatives, enjoying evening storms, and sitting by the campfire after the kids crashed for the night. Of course this was a crazy season for grasshoppers and spiders and they would join us in the cabin at night.....So what!!! That's outdoors for ya and we dealt with it just like you would sleeping under the stars in sleeping bags. Our kids enjoyed hand pumping our water for baths and using the out house late at night...who would of thought LOL. I really can't find any one thing to complain about and would go back in a heart beat!!!! Thanks guys for the great hospitality we seemed like part of the family!!

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 comfortable with a kitchen for preparing meals. We cooked dinner both nights (the ranch is pretty remote and you could go into the National Park for dinner (about 6 or 7 miles away) but we enjoyed cooking and relaxing with a glass of wine. If you take the self-cooking approach, buy food in Wall or Rapid City because there is nothing near the ranch. The breakfasts were filling - muffins or scones, eggs, breakfast meats, oatmeal, cinnamon buns. The hosts - Amy and Phil were very friendly and their three kids, 3, 2 and 1 were a delight. The chickens, dogs and burros, were fun to see and feed (burros and chickens). We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Badlands (which are amazing).

Our first B&B experience and it was wonderful. Highly recommended !!!

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 to use, fully equipped and clean. I was not expecting to use the kitchenette as I was on vacation but after spending an hour looking for somewhere to have an evening meal on the Friday evening we ended up at the gas station in Interior buying food to cook in the kitchenette as there was no-where open to eat! For the following night (Saturday) Phil recommended we go to the gas station for a steak dinner which was only available on Saturday nights. We had never eaten in a gas station before and it was a great experience. I have never seen a steak so big!
Circle View is definitely the best place to stay in the badlands, and it has fantastic, breathtaking views. It took less than 10 minutes to drive to the national park. Our room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. There was not a television in our bedroom but there is a communal lounge with a television and a computer available for guests to use for email etc which was very useful because we hadn’t seen a computer for almost 3 weeks. The breakfasts were really tasty with a good choice, and we enjoyed Phil and Amy's company at breakfast, as well as the other guests.
The ranch is in a remote location (Interior is a TINY town) and we found the track to the ranch quite difficult to find on a night time in the pitch darkness as the sign near the road is not illuminated. We drove up and down the road several times on our first night before we found the track up the butte where the ranch was. You should also plan ahead on where to eat during the day / evening as the choice is very limited.
We also went for a horse ride on the neighbouring ranch. It was great. Casie took us out (Phil’s niece). She was a nice girl and real fun.
Amy and Phil are great hosts and we enjoyed our stay – we would definitely recommend it.
