The Prairie House Manor
Our home belonged to one of the characters in the Little House books that Michael Landon made popular in Little House on the Prairie series. We love to have families come and enjoy the town that author Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about. Our home is open all year, but call ahead for winter reservations. Rooms are decorated with antiques but have all luxury of the present (TV, air conditioned, private baths await you) for a restful evening. The morning brings the aroma of waffles, French toast, pancakes and even pancake man and a story for little ones.The story come The Little House In the Big Woods. Fresh fruit and juice are always served with a smile between 8 and 9.15 AM. We will look forward to your arrival in De Smet, South Dakota.
