Diamond A Cattle Tourist Cabin

Our 1940s tourist cabin has been recently remodeled. There is a full-sized bed in one bedroom and a twin sized bed in the other bedroom. The small bathroom with a shower has just been updated with beautiful new tile. An equipped small kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator and an apartment sized stove. We can grocery shop for you if you would like and have your groceries (and the bill) waiting for you when you arrive. We have access to farm fresh eggs.
You will have only 1 1/2 miles of gravel to travel on to get to our ranch.
We offer tours of our ranch. On the ranch is the original 1906 Homestead Shanty that was built for the Ashley Brothers. The shanty holds three pieces of original furniture along with other period furniture. The shanty was occupied until 1956.
A one room rural schoolhouse built in 1905 sits next to the tourist cabin. Desks, books, maps, a wood burning stove offer an opportunity to play act and pretend you are either the teacher in the school or the dunce. One corner inside the schoolhouse has a voting booth and the original voting box.
We have a camp store that is open all the time. Cowgirl necklaces made by our real cowgirl and cowboy grandkids. Chokecherry jelly. Dill pickles, Bad River Beef Jerky, Pemmican and Summer Sausage. (Pemmican is what the Native Americans made with ground buffalo, antelope or deer and nuts and fruits).
We now have a Free Library so you can pick a book, read it at the Diamond A Ranch or take it with you on your travels. When you are done with the book, you can find another Free Library and return it there. Near the Free Library is a "Take a Stick, Leave a Stick" Library for dogs.
Diamond A Cattle Company has both an indoor and an outdoor roping / rodeo arena. Events held at the arenas are barrel racing, bull riding, team penning, team roping and Cowboy Mounted Shooting.
Corriente cattle used for team roping, steer wrestling and bull riding are raised on the Diamond A Cattle Co. We will show off our cattle on our ranch tour.
If you are traveling in your own RV, we have electrical hookups located next to the cabin. We charge $25 per hookup.
Diamond A Cattle Company offers overnight stabling for your horses. Your horses can spend the night in our outdoor arena or in smaller pens inside or outside. We charge $20 per horse per night.
We are only 17 miles from the Missouri River. We can offer suggestions for dining and touring.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a desk.

Cowboy cabin

We had a problem when we got there. The door was supposed to be open but it wasn't. My husband finally found a key on an outside light. The cabin was clean, the air was on so that was great. I loved the decor and the extra fans. Camp store was fun. Loved the history and my husband got a kick out of Bob the cat and the dog.

Pit-Stop across SD

This was a good spot to stay for night traveling across SD. It’s a tad off the beaten path but not too far. If you’re looking for something unique and rural, this is the spot for you!

Unique country get away

It was the first property that came up on the site and by God‘s design it was just what was needed for our souls! Everything we needed: peaceful, quaint, the cat and his royal set up hilarious, the dog is super laid back, great bathhouse and camp store for fun treasures, and the school house an awesome treat from history. We had great communication with the host.It’s a gem off of the interstate.We also ate at the buzzards bar and grill in Pukwana. The burgers and potatoes were excellent. Super staff they even got the town mechanic to help with my vehicle.Thanks for the hospitality and the adventure!!! God bless you all.

I needed a place for 1 night on my trip. I didn't want a random hotel. Really glad I found this. Just what I expected. Great bed and shower. Bob the cat and Fred the dog were a pleasant greeting. I wish I could have found where the coffee and filters might have hiding but it was a cool spot.

Quirky Doesn't Do It Justice

The owners could not be blamed for the rain that day, nor the mud that filled almost every inch of the parking area (I can't speak for the people who got stuck). The cabin was open, and we appreciated the strong workout to get the door open after sitting in the car so long. Fortunately the rain helped to cool us as we worked. It was charming how we asked about the wifi password and the nice gentleman had no idea what that was (he thought it was 'some Native American thing"). There were plenty of mouse traps to keep the rodents away and cleanser so we could clean the durty sink - very thoughtful! No mirror or hooks in the bathroom but never fear - you can use the medicine cabinet door to hang your towel. As budding entemologists we were fascinated by the swarms of ants on all the windows - we were so excited by finding them we could hardly sleep! An extra thoughtful touch was the bottle used as a spitoon by the previous tenet was left beside the bed with still plenty of space in it. We unfortunately couldn't stay long enough to make breakfast. The fridge was spotless.

Truly enjoyed meeting Crystal, Tucker and Carson. Fred the dog and Bob the cat welcomed us upon arrival. Crystal was so welcoming and kind. I had a delicious burger at her cousin’s restaurant (Buzzard Bar) - Crystal called Cousin Lonnie and told him to take care of me 😊. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Nice quiet stay on a private ranch

It was a nice little rustic cabin. A great place for our little dog. Our host Crystal was very communicative and the place was nice and quiet. A great place to stay the night when you’re on the road and need to get away from the interstate drive for a while.

We enjoyed our stay in this quaint little tourist cabin. It had all the necessities for a quiet night in the country. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets and the night sky was fabulous. This is a working cattle ranch with all the things that go along with that. Our host was helpful with suggestions for sightseeing and great food, a great storyteller and guide.

Quiet

We enjoyed our stay. We never met the owners during our time there. It could have used some more comfortable seating. The small couch was okay. We wanted to go see the school house, but both nights there were people parked there with campers. It was secluded and quiet which we wanted.
