Vermillion Hills Peaceful Getaway!
Riding in SD = breathtaking
Okay 10/10! I’m considering going back just to stay here again! I was solo traveling the mid west and picked this part of South Dakota so I could stay here and it was well worth it. Sarah was so flexible and met me on arrival and we instantly connected! She’s so lovely and so is her whole family! The day I arrived it was storming but she was willing to take me riding the morning I was leaving and it was the absolute highlight of my trip! I cannot believe how breathtaking their property is and everyone is so kind! She recommended The Office for dinner in Madison and it was a lovely spot and I instantly made friends!! I can’t wait to go back! Thank you so much Sarah!

Awesome Place to Stay!
We checked in with Sarah when we arrived and she gave us some quick information about the property and things we could do while there. There’s a hot tub, zip line, sandbox, and so much more. The farm had horses, goats, dogs, chickens, cows and kittens. The next morning we were even able to go horseback riding in the corral. Everything was very clean and we had a great time and also felt very safe!

Very quiet and cozy! Well-behaved farm dogs!! They provided tons of kindling and firewood for what would have been an otherwise chilly, but gorgeous, star-filled night!

Sarah had a nice, level, spot carved out of their backyard, adjacent to a horse paddock. Her husband was home when I arrived, and he was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They had a large fire-pit and a hot-tub ready to go. I didn't use either - I was content with a hot shower and my little fire-pot. Bathroom was spacious and they even provided towels.
Helpful tips for driving there...
If you're driving something very small - there were many miles of dirt road to get there. I had just traded in my Jeep Wrangler for a little crossover that has better gas mileage, and it did fine. But having come from Vermont a few weeks earlier where the mud was pretty intense, I wondered if I'd have made it in muddy conditions!
Their road is indeed clearly marked with the number, so keep your eyes peeled. Waze over-shot it by about 1/4 mile so I hadn't noticed the road sign as I passed. The distinction of Sarah's place is that it has a line of trees parallel to their house, clearly visible from the perpendicular road, which is the area with the campsite. Waze told me "I had arrived" at a point where I was on the big road, with fields on either side of me, and 3 groupings of buildings in view. Sarah's instructions say "they are the only farm in the valley." But personally I couldn't determine which was a farm versus something else. I guess I am not good at recognizing farms? (heh) :-)
It was a nice stay!

10/10Stay here if you love animals!
Sarah was so sweet and accommodating from the start. I arrived late in the evening and she was gracious enough to greet me anyway. Lovely property with ENDLESS sky, and her dogs and other animals are just as friendly! It would be an easy choice to stay here again. & it was great to be able to take a shower!
