Centrally located to all things in the Black Hills

This home is family owned and operated. The home is located at the top of a well-maintained street in the gold mountain town of Lead, SD. It is close to the Sanford Underground Research Facility, formally the Homestake Gold Mine. It is a cute three Bedroom, one bathroom home. The front bedroom has a queen bed, middle bedroom has a full bed, and the back bedroom has a bunk bed with twin mattresses.

The home has easy access from the highway. Guests have access to 1/2 of the garage. For size reference, we have a Subaru Tribeca that fits fine, but our Jeep Grand Cherokee is too tall.

Perfect place to come back to after exploring the Black Hills. Only 3 miles to Deadwood and 4 miles to Terry Peak Ski Area. Spearfish and Sturgis are both less than 20 miles away. Only 40-50 miles to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and the communities of the Southern Hills. Only 80 miles to Devil's Tower National Monument.
Close to several trailheads of the Mickelson Trail.

*Mill Street is steep, but compared to others in Lead it is not too bad. It is wide and well maintained.

***The city recently passed an ordinance that prohibits trailer parking on some streets. They have classified Mill as one of those streets. We are planning on putting a parking pad in a portion of the yard to comply with that ordinance. If we don't have it completed by the time you arrive and you have a trailer, we are okay with trailer being parked in the yard.

*We are working on updating the outside of the home. We have been scraping paint and repainting the trim in between rentals and our kid's activities and weather.

This house was nice. The only complaint we had was that the coffee maker was very slow. At least 45 minutes to brew. Will stay there again.

The beds were soft, if that's for you then you will sleep well. I prefer a firmer mattress. There is virtually no bathroom counter, just the edge of the sink. The doors stick (I'm guessing from weather). There are only portable air conditioner units. Property is as described in listing and is well taken care of. We really didn't spend much time there but were happy to each have our own bed and to be able to prepare some meals.

Cozy little place with a great location close to everything

Nice place that worked well for us. Probably a quarter mile from town, maybe 2.5 miles from deadwood. Close to everything without the expensive price. Spent time in Spearfish as well. The home was clean, well stocked and convenient.
