Summary
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 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.
There 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. The wild turkeys and deer are frequent visitors to the yard. Palmer Ranch is also home to a T. Rex named Sue!
We have 5200 acres and are a working cattle ranch. The main ranch house is about 1/4 mile away from the guest house. 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.
We invite you to join us on a mini-cattle drive with your own horse. "So tighten up yer cinch!. We have hunting, horse camping, a romantic getaway, and Digg'n up Bones. for those of you who come to Faith Country to dig for Fossils and Artifacts.
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 can do that too.
