This is a very nice place to stay when visiting the sturgis deadwood and all the Black Hills. The house was very clean and had plenty of room. The host was very informative of all the places to see in South Dakota and had maps in the house for you too plan your day.

Family Trip

We had a great stay. Good location to Deadwood, Mount Rushmore, and Wind Cave National Park. The house was very clean, tons of new TVs (kids hooked up their switch), and Sonos speaker. Kitchen was super stocked, beds were great and came with tons of pillows. Great place to stay if visiting the area!

Absolutely do it again!

Lead is a special place. This was a three generation Fathers Day trip. My Father was born in Deadwood in 1936. My son and I took him to revisit his past one more time and this Home was the perfect combination of Lead history, location and charm!

We had a fabulous time staying here. It’s in a great location, the host was amazing, with quick responses to any questions or needs we had. The grocery store and Ace hardware was a block away. We even had a Doe and her baby eating grass right outside the front and back door several times, it was very cool! I would recommend this place to anyone 😁.

Ski Trip

Brought my family for the weekend for a ski trip, stayed in this house and it was really nice, the upstairs is great for teens and younger kids, not so much for older people, just because you have to go up and down a spiral staircase to be able to get to restroom, but the kids and teens loved it. Everything was great as far as cooking utensils, towels and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The one thing I didn't like is that there was no broom, I like to be able to sweep and keep things tidy even though I'm on vacation. And also it's a little tricky finding it and not great parking. But if your looking for a nice little house to stay a weekend are a few more days it was perfect

Cute house but not what I expected

The house over all was clean and looked very nice on the inside. The AC in the house are 3 window units that could not keep up with the heat outside. It was in the 100s and during the day the lowest the house would get was 80 degrees. It did cool off at night and it was fine in the mornings. As far as location the house is a little hard to find but it’s very close to all the events in lead and deadwood. The host was very responsive when we had an issue and there were plenty of towels, pillows, and linen for us to use.
