Deadwood, South Dakota, is a popular vacation spot because of its proximity to Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse monument and Sturgis, the gathering place for the famous annual motorcycle rally. You can stay in the Deadwood vicinity at a lodge or
resort, enjoying the Black Hills scenery. Or you may prefer staying in town and exploring historic buildings, saloons and museums. Deadwood has plenty of lodging to offer, from upscale hotels to tepee camping.
Strawberry Bed and Breakfast
If you're looking for a quiet, homey place, Strawberry Bed and Breakfast offers a full, hot breakfast each morning and four private cabins with their own entrances and bathrooms. The bed and breakfast is secluded and small, catering to crowds of as many as 20 guests. Its size and layout make it a good choice for family reunions.
