Hospitality At Our Core
Hospitality has always been at the heart of what we do. Blue Tin Ranch owner, Noreen, was honored with the Ruth Zilkowski Award for Hospitality, a statewide recognition given to individuals who exemplify exceptional warmth, care, and service across South Dakota.
That same spirit shapes every experience here, from the way guests are welcomed to the attention given to every detail. For us, hospitality isn’t a trend or a talking point. It’s simply how we were raised.

About Us
Noreen + Kelley
A mother daughter duo who decided to take the leap and run a business together!
Welcome to Blue Tin Ranch. We’re Noreen and Kelley (Yes, Kelley from Big Brother!) - the duo behind this place. Back in 2018, right after Kelley graduated college, we got this crazy idea. Renovate the farm into a wedding venue!
It was the best decision and we haven't looked back since! We love hosting and couldn't imagine life any other way.

"Our weekend wedding at Blue Tin Ranch was nothing short of magical, thanks in large part to the incredible convenience of having so many beautiful places to stay right on the property. Our guests loved the seamless experience from celebration to accommodation. It truly made our special day even more memorable for everyone involved."

& So Much More
The 605 Barn
The 1909 Barn stood for over a century, saved from demolition in 2009, it became the heart of Blue Tin Ranch.
In 2025, a tornado had other plans.
Rather than walk away, we rebuilt.
The 605 Barn was designed to honor everything the original was, the bones, the character, the feeling of walking into something that has weight to it.
The name is our nod to home. South Dakota's area code. The 605. Because this place has always been about where we come from.
The new barn features north and south doors, with massive sliding barn doors to the east that open onto a covered patio, letting the South Dakota sky become part of your celebration.
Whether you're dancing with the doors thrown wide on a warm summer evening or watching the sun drop over the fields from the patio, the 605 Barn was built to make moments like that possible.
