    Screened-in Front PorchCome See the Newest Cabela's Store in Rapid City, South Dakota. In addition to offering quality outdoor merchandise, the 80,000 sq. ft. showroom is an educational and entertainment attraction.

    Palmer Ranch House is a historical guest house, built in 1910 by homesteaders. The Coopers bought it in the early 1930`s. Gary Palmer leased it from them in the 1980`s, then purchased it in 2000. Gary is about 5 miles from where he grew up on his parent's ranch. His brother now owns it.

    Gary and Bambi have restored some parts of the guest house, and have kept much of the house in its original state. The house is fully furnished, some in antiques, as well as painted items by Bambi. We also have camper hook ups.

    Palmer Ranch House is the Perfect Getaway For Any Season of The Year!

    Dining RoomThere is a really neat screened-in front porch, and it overlooks the prairie and the ranch. The Deep Creek runs by the house. So, guests will be staying in a real homestead house on the prairie. This is a modest house that the homesteaders (Honyockers) built back then. The wild turkeys and deer are frequent visitors to the yard.

    We have 5200 acres that the guest house is on. We are a working cattle ranch. The main ranch house is about 1/4 mile away. The location is 13 miles west of Faith (which hosts an airport with a 4,200 ft. long runway), 100 miles from the Black Hills, Deadwood, Sturgis, and Mt Rushmore. The Badlands and Devils Tower are within 150 miles. Rapid City is the closest domestic airport.

    Horses can be stabled here

    Price includes breakfast - cooked and brought down to the guest house, or guests can join Innkeepers at the main house. We suggest you plan your supper on the night you arrive, as you are out in the country and there are no fast food places. Innkeeper will cook meals for you with advance notice, at an additional cost. Also, we will provide sack lunches. Children 1/2 price.

    We welcome horse people to come and vacation with their horses. Want to ride the ranch? Or just come along to do ranch chores, checking water tanks, fencing (that's a favorite) and checking cows. Maybe you would like a tour of ranch in the suburban. We will make arrangements with advance notice. We don't offer horses for hire. Check out our Cattle drive package, hunting packages, and overnight stabling.

    We welcome horses and their owners with
    comfortable overnight accommodations.

     

    Palmer Ranch House - Faith, South Dakota

     

     

    House Description: two bedrooms, double beds, and a hideaway bed in living room could sleep 5 or 6 comfortable can accommodate more with notice, air conditioning, full kitchen ready for cooking, Satellite T.V., a full library of movies, laundry, and unattached garage.

    Mini-Cattle DriveWe invite you to join us on a mini-cattle drive with your own horse. We have so many requests to join us moving cattle but not everyone has a whole week for a full blown cattle drive. So we are offering shorter one or two day mini cattle drives. These take place on the ranch, or where we are summering cattle. They involve rounding up and moving the cattle herd from one summer pasture to a new pasture. These pastures are several miles apart, so you still get plenty of riding done.

    The mini-cattle drive is not a grueling 4 day non-stop full fledged ride back to the ranch' by night fall type of adventure, but for more experienced riders. We can stop and stretch our legs every so often. We pack lunches. This is by special arrangement and reservation. If you have dreamed of trying your hand at 'cowboying'this would be a great introduction. $200 per horse and rider/per day. Minimum of 3 days.
