The property was very clean and quiet. Had hoped for a nice view from the deck but it was just a brick wall with scrubs and a road and homes above. There is little to do in Lead and restaurants are minimal but it was a good location between the sites we wanted to visit. Overall ok

We’re glad to hear you enjoyed our condo, but disappointed to hear the location wasn’t what you were hoping for. We’re always happy to answer questions before and during a stay to ensure we can help guide our guests to all the things they’re wanting to do and see. We love the little town of Lead and all it does have to offer. We hope your next vacation is everything you want.

A great stay for a great price.

This stay was easy and very clean. It is in an apartment building that upon arrival had people outside smoking, however once inside the apartment there was absolutely no smoking smell. I will book again if needed. It is extremely close to Deadwood. It is a nice apartment.

Very clean and comfortable. Was disappointed in the location. Description said it is a short drive to Mount Rushmore, Custer state park. It is actually over an hour away from those attractions.

Thank you for writing a review, Dana. We have had many guests reach out to us with any questions on location prior to booking, and we encourage all guests to research nearby destinations. We hope our condo itself met your expectations, and we’re sorry to hear the location didn’t work out.

Pleasant Stay in Lead, SD

Our accommodation was just what we needed. Cassie and John provided everything we needed including such minor things as baggies for sandwiches. They responded amazingly promptly when we had a problem with the lock on he door. The beds are rather high so this might not work if you are a short person and it is on the third floor so you will have to carry you things up two flights but if those are not issues for you, it is a great place to stay and reasonably priced.

Sturgis trip

Came out here for motorcycle rally in Sturgis. The property was very clean, beds are super comfortable. The condo was very nice and well stocked with things you would need. Communication with the owners was pleasant and easy. Had three motorcycles and for in the parking area just fine. The area is conveniently located to Deadwood, Sturgis and other sight seeing areas such as Mt. Rushmore. It’s a drive to place like Rushmore but the area isn’t just completely out of the way. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay here again in the future and would recommend staying here.

Awesome Experience

We had a great time while utilizing your unit like it was our own. Climbing up 3 floors was a bit challenging for us senior citizens but well worth the rewards. We didn’t expect to have so many details, which involved items within the kitchen, that could be utilized. These items allowed us to limit our kitchen needs while cooking in the kitchen or cooking out on the deck while utilizing the personal gas grille. We will pass your unit onto all of our friends traveling out West to visit around the Black Hills National Forest Area. Thanks again for allowing us to stay!

Home away from home

Walking into this apartment was a welcome surprise. The owners provide quality household items. The apartment was well cleaned, well stocked with the basics, and extremely comfortable. The only thing other renters may need to know, is we did not see an elevator and this apartment is on the third floor. We may have missed the elevator so inquire about that if that is a need for your family- it was not an issue for us. We hope to return year after year!
