Our Story
A Prairie Legacy Rooted in Family, History, and Hospitality
Nestled where the wide open prairies of South Dakota meet the sky, Triangle Ranch Bed & Breakfast is not just a place to stay, it’s a place to connect with the past. Experience genuine Western hospitality at its finest and find peace in the quiet beauty of nature.
Just 20 minutes northeast of Badlands National Park, Triangle Ranch is a living piece of South Dakota history. Established in 1904 by Lyndy Ireland’s great-grandparents, this multi-generational ranch began with humble roots in a sod dugout and later a log home. In 1923, they built the elegant Sears & Roebuck “Alhambra” catalog house, which still stands proudly, serving as the heart of Triangle Ranch Bed & Breakfast.

Words from Our Guests
Hear what our guests are saying about their stay
“It all started with a High Recommendation from a fellow-innkeeper and could not have been more accurate! The Badlands are the ‘goodlands’, made more memorable by good people like yourselves, thank you for the wonderful stay.”
“Just wanted to say thank you so much for our stay at the ranch. The cabin was perfect … and both families (yep, all 13 of us) survived with one bathroom : ). We’ve already started talking about next year’s trip … pretty hard to head back to work, not to mention a bowl of cereal, after the week we had with you guys … thanks so much for opening your home to us, looking forward to next time.”
A very beautiful home under a wonderful sky with millions of stars! Thank you for your hospitality. You give the B & B concept a nice personal touch. We feel very welcome a long way from home. Dank u.”
“Paradise: … staying at your beautiful place and visiting with you beautiful people was the highlight of our trip … your friendliness and warmth made us feel completely welcome. Your location and lifestyle should make most people envious – it does me!! Meant to ask about the handmade quilt at the foot of the bed … probably has a history like most everything there has. We … went to the library and found they had a copy of the Midwest Living Magazine with your article.”
