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).

Ideal spot
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!

Peace and Quiet
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.

Short of the heating , which we still were worm through the weekend. Not having a two burn cook top would have been ideal. And more cost savings for the Tendent.

Lovely space - just perfect getaway
My husband and I spent the weekend here with our pups and had the best time exploring Spearfish. Loved the recommendations the hosts shared for hiking and for places to go eat. The space was incredibly well kept and decorated. We felt very comfortable. The private fenced-in area was a HUGE win with our pups who loved to watch the chickens and other wildlife roam the yard. We felt confident in letting them sniff and explore from their safe fenced-in area without having to keep them on leash. As mentioned by other reviewers, the composting toilet is not a big deal at all - no smell, nothing weird other than having to step up to get to it.

My wife and our dogs enjoyed a complete experience for staying at a turn of the century home. If you want to enjoy life without any distractions we highly recommend this place. The people were engaging and very personable. The location is close to a running/walking trail and dog park. We will visit again.

Very Unique...
It was interesting when we found out the house was the oldest home in Spearfish to have people live in it. Unless I missed it in the website description, the outhouse was a bit of a surprise... Now that was VERY interesting! My husband was disappointed when he learned there was no TV, but ended up kind of enjoying that for one evening.

This is the second time we’ve stayed and won’t be the last. The Swisher House is so peaceful yet close to everything in Spearfish. The property is beautiful, the host friendly, and communication is fantastic. I made an error in my travel dates and they graciously accommodated us with no fuss! Thank you!

Beautiful, simple and clean. This was a highlight from our vacation. The watering hole on the creek was perfect for relaxing and the property is in Spearfish for things to do. For what we were looking for it was perfect! Done relaxation on our way home from driving across the country.

The rental was as expected but the property surrounding it was much more interesting than expected. There is an emphasis on recycling, reuse, and careful management of natural resources. There are lovely, creative steel structures on the property and it felt a bit like a park. The chickens are well contained so it wasn’t a problem with our dog. Host was responsive to communication and got us a can opener when we discovered we needed one. The composting toilet is a thing. A step is needed to sit on it because it’s high but we 60+ folks managed it fine. Hand bars in the wall would be good for stability especially when using the toilet at night. The little yard had no outdoor furniture but the host let us use some nearby lawn chairs and we went to Walmart and got a little side table for happy hour😊. It was a fun experience and we would stay there again. Nice accommodations for pups too with hooks for leashes and poo bags. Plenty of room to play fetch, on a long leash of course.

Great place to unwind
My family (dog, 10 year old, and husband) and I stayed here for 5 nights. It was wonderful. The house was very clean and well taken care of. Outside was great, my child said this was her favorite part of the trip. Trampoline, tree house, tree swings, creek…she had a blast. The dog loved the space to play fetch and loved the stream too. Lots of shade to sit and enjoy. We ended up spending more time here than we planned as it was so relaxing. We would certainly stay here again. It was great to find a place which was dog friendly and so convenient!

Amazing stay at the farmhouse
Such a great place to stay in Spearfish. The farmhouse has so many unique pieces used in it's construction it all adds to it's charm. The communication with the host was quick and easy. If you are traveling with dogs this is a great place to stay as it has a safe and escape proof fenced yard which our dogs really enjoyed. Make sure you read the details of the house, there is a composting toilet which may take a bit to get used to, but the charm of the house and yard makes it worth the stay!
