About Us
I'm Shari and I met Lee 12/25/94 in California.
I was working for the government in a rather boring, nonchallenging mid-management position and he was a merchant marine going
to ports all over the world. When we began traveling together, he introduced me to bed and breakfasts. We
enjoyed them so much that I told him we should run one when we retired. He loved the idea and told
his family who lives here in Rapid City.
One day his aunt called us to let us know that Sweetgrass
was up to sale. That weekend we decided to think about it while camping in the mountains. On the way
up, we bought a book called "Idiots Guide to Running a Bed and Breakfast" (or something similar). Since
we read the book cover to cover and had been to many B&Bs, we decided we were "experts". That Sunday night,
he flew out and on Wednesday, we bought Sweetgrass.
I've lived in 10 states, came here sight unseen
and we have not regretted a moment. We've had the most interesting and fun guests. We've enjoyed
spending time listening and talking with them. I have had guests from Canada, Japan, China, Columbia, Germany,
France, Belguim, England, Russia - - how cool is that!
On top of all that, Lee's family here is the greatest, really wonderful people. We've also
met such nice, down to earth people here and have made great friends. I'm now working on getting my mother to move out here since I know I won't ever leave this area.

Our Goal
Our goal is for you to enjoy your visit here at Sweetgrass
and in the Black Hills. Relax, see the sights, and by all means, don't go away hungry after breakfast! When you
do return home, have happy thoughts of your time here.
