Life has been stressful lately, to say the least, so we here at Only in South Dakota have been scouring this great state of ours for the best places to stay for a quiet and relaxing retreat. Fortunately, there is no shortage of these kinds of places to go around, but the one that stood out to us the most is the tranquil and can't-miss Singing Horse Trading Post:
Located in the small southwest SoDak town of Porcupine, the Singing Horse Trading Post is a unique shop and bed and breakfast and is nestled away on the Pine Ridge Lakota Reservation.
"Experience the magic of the Pine Ridge Reservation — the thrill of exploration, the peace of the Prairie, the kindness and spirit of the Lakota people," invites the Singing Horse, which was established as an old-time trading post in 1995 before moving to its current location 4 years later.
Since its 1999 move and expansion, the Singing Horse Trading Post has continued to grow. It now houses not only its original trading post concept but also comfortable rooms, cabins, and places to camp, plus tours, horseback riding, and tipi sales.
When you stay the night at the Singing Horse, you will discover not only lovely accommodations but also delicious, home-cooked food, friendly hosts, and jaw-dropping scenery around every corner.
Are you looking for a unique gift for you or someone you love? If so, you are guaranteed to find something at the Singing Horse's namesake trading post, which has everything from Native American jewelry and art to intricate beadwork, apparel, quilts, and more.
During your visit, don't forget to also partake in one of Singing Horse's many one-of-a-kind offerings, which include not only the aforementioned tours and horseback rides but also special workshops and events!
