Just the best place to stay for a visit to tour the Ingalls homestead and houses. Their website is…read moreeasy to use to see all the different themed rooms. We took our 3 young kids here (8,6,3) and had a great stay in the Rose Garden room. The place is immaculate. The house is a historical feature in itself and one of the individual's from Laura's books owned it. Melissa Gilbert even stayed here while in town. The owners are fabulous and welcoming of kids. The entire front wrap around porch has toys waiting for the kids- sounds tacky but it's not- still clean and lovely. But if staying in a lovely, historical house isn't enough, the breakfast is above all expectations! I had ordered the pancake man for the kids breakfast choice and had wanted to read that part of the story for the kids...couldn't find it in the books or scrambling online. Well at our beautiful little breakfast room, our host Andy brought over one of the books opened to the section about that- they read my mind!!! We sat down to fresh fruit, pink china - which my girls loved- it felt like a fancy tea! They had Ingalls trivia on the table and a CD of Pa's fiddle music playing. I had the chocolate Belgian waffle with strawberries and my husband had an omelette- both we're fantastic. Oh and choose the ham! It's wonderful. One note of caution- Hotwire and orbitz and like companies may show this hotel as full. It did for us but when we called they had rooms- even the one we wanted! So make sure you call them directly. This is soooo worth the money for a visit to DeSmet...made the whole experience extra special.

Hang on...this is a mere $10 more than a rather miserable looking hotel in town. I'll take it! This place is a knockout. Typical small town corner building completely remodeled - and remodeled well - to be a B&B. High ceilings...old time feel...nice furnishings. I loved the spacious salon / dining room. Would be nice when the fire is lit. Only thing missing, and this might be a seasonal / regional thing, is a decanter of sherry for the guests. That's always a warm touch. Our room was very comfortable. The bed was good and the bathroom - shower only - had all we needed tucked away in a cabinet. Cute faux fireplace. Kim is an attentive but not intrusive host. The breakfast for our visit was French Toast with sausage and fresh fruit. It was fine, but here is where an otherwise excellent place falls a tad short. B&Bs are more of a pampering event. Cream for the coffee should not be skim or 1% milk. Syrup should be genuine maple syrup. French Toast should be made with a dense quality bread...maybe with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg...not just plain fried because that's pretty flavorless if you're avoiding the "syrup." HOWEVER...the fruit mix was exceptional. Best I've ever had. Every single bite was heaven. Would I return? Absolutely. It was a lovely stay. Wish we'd had more time to hang out downstairs. It's just nice to sit in a lovely room. DeSmet is a very small town with seemingly only the Ingalls attraction to draw people from afar but still...there's something charming about it. The people are exceptionally friendly.

This place isn't as bad as everyone says it is, but it isn't great. The big bonus is that it was…read morequiet. The beds really need to be replaced. The pillows are small and not of much use in my opinion. I found it interesting to have light green sheets on the bed instead of the typical white. The towels also need to be replaced. They are old and thinning. The carpet was fairly clean, unless you looked right next to the walls. We found popcorn kernels up there as a vacuum probably wouldn't pick them up. The room had a faint hint of cigarette smoke to it when first walking in. I'm guessing when the hotel allowed smoking (all rooms are non-smoking now) at one point and didn't update the rooms after becoming non-smoking, which would have entailed painting the rooms and replacing the carpet. The WiFi signal was really weak on the opposite side of the hotel from the office. Also, when connected I would lose connection, mainly because of the weak signal. Didn't really test out the speed of the internet because of the weak WiFi. The continental breakfast had two types of cereal, bread, banana and individually wrapped cinnamon rolls. I think they could have done better with that, but this is a small hotel. They are pet friendly. It did cost us extra to have our dog there, but it was worth it. Would I stay there again? Probably not.
