Circle View Guest Ranch is the best choice for family friendly loding in the Badlands. The large game room is the perfect place for the kids to play ping-pong, fooseball or a quick game of pac-man with dad. The firepit is a popular location for everyone to gather together in the evenings to roast marshmallows. Our friendly, carrot-seeking burrors are a favorite of kids Kids can go out on our acrage and look for them or wait for them to appear at the guesthouse. In the mornings the kids race to feed the chickens and gather fresh eggs. Plenty of wholesome, family centered activites for our youngest guests at the ranch!
Ranch guests Teal and Jules (from Florida) get a ride from Mama burro.

Breakfast is a BIG deal at the ranch!
Every morning at 7:30am guests gather in the Kruse family kitchen for a breakfast feast. Many guests have told us this is the highlight of their stay with us. We serve a variety of breakfast treats and the menu varies daily. You can always count on a choice of egg, breakfast meat, fresh pastries and breads, our always popular blueberry almond granola with fresh fruit and yogurt and many goodies.. There is always hot coffee and cold juice to top it all off!
Amy loves requests so if there's something your hungry for, let her know, she's happy to help!
All beef served is our very own ranch raised, free range, grass fed beef. Buffalo is harvested locally on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Eggs come from our happy hens at our “Hen Hotel”-feel free to visit! Whole-wheat grown on a Kruse ranch and freshly ground in-house.
We do our best to accommodate our non-meat eating guests with advance notice, please.
