The Turtle House

The perfect little cabin hideaway. We felt so cozy in our little retreat. We loved the warmth of the fireplace. The breakfast sandwiches were an amazing find, thank you so much! We did hear someone walking around upstairs which was startling. Especially as my husband was still sleeping and my 3 year old was startled and ran to me. We tried to make it not bother us. Would stay there again if we found ourselves in the area again.

Spearfish

Cute place. Perfect for our stay. Very clean and comfy. So cool to find out we were next door neighbors to the Termesphere Gallery. Got to visit there and meet Dick. Nice and close to town and the Spearfish Canyon but felt like you were in the country.
