My husband and I had a great experience when we stayed at Peregrine Pointe Bed and Breakfast outside Rapid City, South Dakota. The B&B; is fantastic, the innkeepers are friendly and helpful, and it's an easy drive to unforgettable sites like Badlands National Park, Custer State Park, Black Hills National Forest, and the historic town of Deadwood. This Peregrine Pointe photo gallery shows why we had such a good time at the inn.
