HELP!!! On Lodging in BLACK HILLS, S.D.
 

I am being challenged! I have been searching for an out of the way nice place to stay for a couple of days next wkend in the Black Hills....maybe centrally located.... <BR>Never been there before and have about 3 days to make the rounds. <BR>We do not want to stay where everyone stays! <BR>Any ideas?

I'm not sure it would entirely fit the bill for what you are looking for, but you could make a "provisional" reservation here and then cancel out if you find something superior: <BR> <BR>www.kellyinns.com <BR> <BR>The one I'm thinking of (and I've stayed there several times) is in Spearfish -- a very nice setting. Yes, it is a chain, so it's neither quaint nor unique. But it is clean, comfortable and reliable with at least a few amenities. I see the rack rate online is $85/night for next weekend. Perhaps you could do better by calling the hotel directly; you certainly can't do worse. Spearfish is a nice place to work from and this an absolutely beautiful time of year to be in the Black Hills. Happy Trails! :o)

thanks...I will check it out...

We stayed at the Strutton Inn Bed & Breakfast in Custer, S.D. It's on the far western side of town. The hosts are Denise & Cary Strutton. Wonderful people, accomodations, & breakfasts. They even put out some evening refreshments at the day's end. Great place & very reasonable cost.
