What Guests Say about their Black Hills Visit

What a great stay our entire pack had. Thanks so much for the hospitality! I hope we get an opportunity to visit again! Thanks! ~ Scott, Angie, Danielle & Josh - Snickers & Zoey

This B&B and pet sitting service really made our visit to South Dakota's Black Hills the nicest vacation we've ever had. The bedroom suite was beautiful, and the dogs' play area was safe and inviting. Stephanie's dog savvy made us extremely comfortable about leaving our furr-babies with her while we toured the beautiful local caves, bad lands, and shopping districts. We whole-heartedly recommend this B&B. ~ Lisa & Glenn

Stephanie, thank you so much for the great pictures. That was very thoughtful of you. We are fine and getting ready for the fall season. We enjoyed our stay at your home very much and hope to do it again. We think the picture of Annie is the best we've had. You've got a great eye! ~ Sandi

Great Dog Walks in and around Hot Springs

There's no shortage of places to walk your dog in Hot Springs. The closest walks from Anise's BnB4Pets is the Freedom Trail River Walk just a few blocks away. Reptile Gardens welcomes pets on leash. You can tour Bear Country USA with pets in your car.

Chautauqua Park at Fall River in Hot Springs: This lovely park spans both sides of the road with gorgeous views of the red cliffs. And it's a wonderful place to meander with your canine companions along the Fall River. Dogs love to swim in the river and some folks like to dangle their bare feet in the water. The park also has a picnic shelter, barbecue pits, playground equipment and bathrooms. In Hot Springs follow 385 (river road) to Evans Plunge. Keep straight between plunge and parking lot. The park is on the river on both sides of Fall River.

Coldbrook Reservoir Just north of Hot Springs: The trail connects Coldbrook Reservoir with Argyle Road for a leisurely roundtrip walk of about 30 minutes with your K-9 friends. The broad open space has lovely views of the countryside. Of course, dogs like to swim in the reservoir, too! Follow 385 north from Hot Springs and watch for signs (Coldbrook and/or Larive) after the Dew Drop Inn. Once you're there, the beach is on the left and the hiking trail is on the right past the camping area. There is playground equipment in the campground area.

Cottonwood Springs 5 miles south of Hot Springs: Cottonwood is a large open landscape where you can roam with your canine sidekick. Take Hwy 18 West from Hot Springs. Look for the Cottonwood Preserve turnoff on the right about 5 miles south of town.

Freedon Trail River Walk Historic Downtown Hot Springs: The Freedom Trail River Walk is a big favorite with improved trail on both sides of Fall River. You and your K-9 pal can walk from the Kidney Springs to the Dairy Queen bridge.

Elk Mountain Campground Wind Cave National Park: One of my favorite things to do is take my dogs for a short easy hike of 25 minutes or so and then attend the evening campfire program with my dogs, of course. The programs are very professional and informative. I particularly like this trail because the campground is protected from bison. For your safety dogs are not allowed anywhere else in Wind Cave National Park. Hiking with dogs on leash in Custer State Park is allowed, but the bison are at large. Follow 385 north from Hot Springs and into Wind Cave National Park (no entrance fee). Take the Elk Mountain Campground turnoff and follow the road all the way to the end. The trail begins there.
