Swisher Farmhouse @ Granny Flats
This beautiful 3-acre property, once the Swisher Farm, is today a working homestead, with dozens of chickens and a large garden. This quiet oasis is located within the city of Spearfish.
The rental portion of the farmhouse includes two rooms which have been recently remodeled. The white door in the kitchenette is permanently closed to homestead employees so there is no fear of surprise visitors - however you may hear us working in the basement of the house and will certainly see us outside as it is a working homestead!
Granny Flats is located in the old small-farm area of Spearfish, which used to be known for it's fruit and vegetable production. Today, much of it has been converted into large lots for homes, but the small-farm feel still pervades through a few small greenhouses and farm stands.
We're located right on two bike paths, one will lead you directly to a Crow Peak Brewery, a local food market, and two restaurants down the road, and the other one will provide access to the commercial centers of town, where there are several exceptional locally-owned restaurants and breweries.
You also have quick access to the gorgeous northern Black Hills, which are popular with hikers, bikers (both kinds!), and nature lovers. We are essentially equidistant from the Badlands (1.5 hrs), the Southern Hills (Mt. Rushmore, Wind Cave NP, Jewel Cave NP, Custer State Park; 1.5 hrs), and Devil's Tower NM (1 hr).

Just perfect for the two of us and the pet cats who we travel with. The deer - the creek - the welcoming personality of Cappy and Sprout- just couldn’t have been better!!
Really enjoyed our stay. We were back for my Mom’s funeral. It was so nice to be able to stay someplace that was quiet after spending time with family. The grounds were beautiful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Off grid was interesting. All of the space was great.
This property wa as quiet, comfortable, relaxing, dog friendly, and just what we were looking for. The property manager communicated well and it exactly what was listed. Wildlife, chickens, and a cute little fenced in yard for the dogs.
The property was quiet and quaint. We really enjoyed that part of the visit to Spearfish. Slightly misadvertised as a "house" with a hot tub.Very little "cookware" and dishes. The coffee maker was a french press (nothing wrong with that.. we love french press coffee.) The toilet was "interesting.." overall,still worth the stay.
This was such an ideal location for us and our 2 dogs. The house was charming and beautiful, and the small fenced yard was soooo nice to have for the dogs. We ran into Cappie, who was super friendly and welcoming. Location is fantastic - it feels like this idyllic spot in the middle of nowhere, but it's so close to breweries, restaurants, parks, and the rest of beautiful Spearfish. Can't wait to stay here again next time! The guidebook at the property is super helpful too!
Awesome host - really comfortable for couple oversized studio type accommodation. The outside grounds are amazing - have to see to believe. Spearfish Rocks!
The property was beautiful and charming. The house itself was fine - the heater made a lot of noise as it ran. Seemed to be quite a bit of dog hair from previous visitors.

This property is charming, gorgeous and quiet. We spent 3 nights there, father and son motorcycle trip. Absolutely enjoyed time and will definitely stay again.
Friend and I have been coming to Black Hills for Mickelson half marathon this was our third time haven’t been pleased with where we stayed until this trip. Will definitely stay here again btw I referred a friend to this place.
The overall property is very nice and peaceful. We loved having a fully fenced area for the dogs. Definitely a unique and historic property. The only issue I had was the height of the composting toilet. For me, it was a big step up and down, and I felt unsteady using it in the middle of the night. It would be nice to have a grab bar or something to help stabilize older people (like me).
We enjoyed our time at the Swisher house. The property is so quaint, and it’s a fun little explore. Waking up to deer in the front yard and seeing the chickens across the way—so charming! Spearfish is a wonderful town and we loved being so close to everything.
Great little spot for the weekend. Close to trails and the river. Cold plunge pool right on the property. Deer visited the yard everyday we were there. Close to restaurants and breweries. Quiet!
It was really cool to experience granny flatts from the show Building outside the Lines. Chappie and sprout built some really unconventional features from the treehouse over the stream to the COB building and the rocket ship to name a few. The rental itself is an older structure but it is well maintained and we had no problems whatsoever. our two dogs loved the chickens and the enclosed area. It was a unique experience that we all enjoyed.
