“THE BEST B&B EXPERIENCE HANDS DOWN!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

First, my deepest apologies to Leslie for taking sooooo long to get around to writing this review! This past December (12/23/2011), my sister and I decided to go on a cross-country road trip for the first time ever. Along the way we had the pleasure of meeting so many gracious hosts, seeing this beautiful country, experiencing terrifying road conditions and growing closer. During our 20-day trip we stayed with friends, in hostels, 4-star hotels, roadside motels, but nothing (let me repeat for dramatic emphasis) NOTHING compared to the absolute pleasure of staying at the Elk Ridge B&B. Why you ask? Here are the top five reasons why...

1) Location can't be beat...
At EB&B you'll find a warm, comfortable, clean and inviting place to call home for however many nights you plan to be a guest. It's a bit tricky to find (Google has no idea what you're talking about if you try to find it on the map), but if you follow the very carefully detailed directions provided by your gracious hosts, you'll find it in no time and it will be so worth it. Like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow that is hidden in the Black Hills Forest.

2) No detail is spared...
Upon arriving (very late in the evening because we were running behind schedule) there were cookies, candy and peppermint hot chocolates waiting for us. Leslie was also kind enough to provide bath oils so that we could draw ourselves a bath to relax. Other details: beautiful decor, plenty of blankets and towels, bathrobes, fully stocked bathroom, maps and guides, and parting gifts!

3) The hosts with the most.
At EB&B you'll find two of the most accommodating hosts, who are genuinely kind and warm people. A very caring, lovely and charming couple with a serious appreciation for the area, nature and travel. A necessary ingredient to an authentic experience!

4) The breakfast is NOT too good to be true.
Leslie is an amazing cook and whipped up the best breakfast we had during the entire 20-day trip. The menu: stuffed french toast, bacon and eggs, coffee, orange juice and a whole lotta love. We were also able to take coffee to-go as we headed out to check out Rushmore. A godsend because coffee to me is like water to fish.

5) Go local for the full experience!
Finally, there are a plethora of reasons why going local is so much better. When you opt for cozier accommodations versus a personality-deficient chain hotel, you make friends. The dictionary defines travel as going on a journey. And a journey not only involves the physical act of moving from one place to another but also the experience of meeting new people, encountering new cultures and giving back to the community that has welcomed you with open arms. Give back by supporting local businesses like B&B's. It's the only way to travel.

When (not if) we come back to enjoy South Dakota during a warmer time of the year, there is absolutely no other place we'll be staying. Do yourself a huge favor and book a night or two at this little treasure hidden in the hills.

“One of the best B & Bs we have ever stayed in!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

My wife & I recently spent four wonderful nights at Elk Ridge B/B. We had never been to this part of the world before and I’m so pleased we chose this B/B, Ron & Leslie are wonderful hosts. Our room was the John D Chance room (named after a character in the film Rio Bravo starring John Wayne). The room was very comfortable with a super bathroom. All the beds in Elk Ridge have mattresses that can be adjusted to suit your needs, either soft or firm – they are extremely comfortable!
The breakfasts were gourmet food which was not only well presented but also delicious! Fresh fruit, eggs, french toast, bacon, juice, fruit medleys, teas and coffee. One morning Leslie served fresh fruit, egg, sausage & french toast filled with cream cheese & pecan nuts. Leslie is a really good cook and Ron and Leslie actively join in the conversations with their guests at breakfast. Each day there was something different waiting for us in our room, chocolate covered strawberries, fresh cookies, vanilla scented candles. One evening (when Leslie thought we would return late after going to Mt. Rushmore to see the lighting ceremony) we returned early to find a tray on the bed with a jug of hot water, coffee, drinking chocolate & cookies . . . . so very thoughtful! They certainly make everyone feel welcome. The location is good too – very quiet, it is tucked away on a minor road between Hill City & Keystone and gives the feeling of being so far away from everything, but in reality is the perfect distance from all attractions you would want to see in the Black Hills.
Thanks Ron and Leslie for a wonderful 4 night stay.
I’m not a GPS expert but the GPS co-ordinates: 43. 54' 49.3"-103. 30' 31.5" on their website showed a location on my SatNav miles away from their property. While we were there I stood at the bottom of their drive and the co-ordinates that my SatNav gave me were N43.91355 W103.50880, these co-ordinates took me right to their door!

“Fantastic all around!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

This B&B is a hidden gem! My husband and I only spent one night at Leslie and Ron's lovely B&B, but it was a great place to spend the night. The location is supreme. It's quiet and the views are spectacular. Leslie and Ron are inviting and make you feel right at home from the moment you step into their home. The breakfast was superb and the best part was finding dessert left on our bed when we returned from our night out on the town. My only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer, but we will definitely return!

“Great stay at Elk Ridge bnb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011 via mobile

Leslie and Ron's lovey home made a wonderful respite for us. We stayed three nights and enjoyed the fire outside and the wonderful view and the wildlife around. Perfect weather for our stay. Great breakfasts with a good mix of sweet and savory dishes and we enjoyed the thoughtful blessing for our meal and for our day out. We would most defiantly stay there again and hardily recommend their bnb.
