The Nugget is an 800 square foot, two-bedroom walkout just off Main Street in the charming Victorian mountain town of Lead, South Dakota. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and the second bedroom has three twin beds.

The Nugget is very clean, fresh, bright and quiet. You'll sleep in comfort, especially with the two air conditioners, four ceiling fans and good mattresses. Your kitchen is fully equipped, and all linens and towels are provided. There's even a washer and dryer. Just bring yourself and settle in!

The Nugget has some nice touches too: a Laz-E-Boy couch with built-in recliners, a separate reclining chair, a large covered outdoor bike and equipment locker, a LARGE 65' X 30' parking area (great for motorcyles, trailers or RV's), and a couple of private outdoor sitting areas. All of this within walking distance of the grocery store, bars, restaurants, the discount store and a great coffee place. There is also a large binder on the coffee table crammed full of information on what to do and see, complete with phone numbers, menus, hours of operation, etc., etc. We think The Nugget is a very good value for your Black Hills vacation dollar (now on special sale...$100 for any nights in June!) and a great base for exploring the Black Hills. But don't believe us. Hear it from those who have stayed at The Nugget---read our reviews below, written by our guests.

You'll be centrally located to all of the fun in the Northern Black Hills: five minutes to the Mickelson Trail spur, a short ten minutes to the casinos of Deadwood, and within 20 minutes you'll be in unbelievably gorgeous Spearfish Canyon with your line in the water fishing for trout!!!

                        We brought a couple motorcycles out in a covered trailer and were very happy with the central location for riding and the private parking area in back that we were able to walk directly to through the back door. The place had everything two riders needed for a long weekend. We also enjoyed a tour of the mining facilities of the mine for which the town is named.

                        Three of us stayed here on a motorcycle trip. It is a great setup for three or four singles staying together as there were 4 beds. Mattresses were good and we all slept well. Good parking and access to bring your luggage in. We enjoyed the modern bathroom with ensuite washer and dryer. The kitchen is well furnished with large and small appliances and glassware etc. Good coffee maker. Filters were on hand but if you need anything there is a c store just down the front street. Best of all was the location. You were away from Sturgus , Deadwood , and Rapid city far enough that it was not crowded, and it was a nice ride to visit those places. However, heading out for morning tours was great because you pretty much roll right on to the highways and head for your destination. Good support staff are a call away if you need anything. We highly recommend the Nugget

                        Had a great time while staying in Lead, SD. Rode my Bike from Alabama for the 2012 Sturgis Black Hills Rally. 4079 miles total and almost 800 miles after arriving at "The Nugget". This is a great location to stay during the rally and centrally located to all the attractions you will want to visit!

                        We couldn't be happier with our choice of places to stay while in South Dakota, Sturgis area. We were centrally located to catch all of the rides we wanted to hit. Everything is there, you don't need to worry about anything, except a can opener (LOL). The parking was great and cooking out was a plus. Thanks for making our vacation memberalbe.

                        I came to Lead to work at the Sanford Lab. I stayed at hotels on other 3 week visits. I needed a place that had the home amenities. There I was looking at VRBO and found the Nugget. I have now stayed there numerous times. The unit is well taken care of, quit, clean, nice parking area and has everything to make life good. It is located in Lead and is close to all the essentials.A very good deal!

                        The Nugget and the town of Lead were both pleasant surprises for me. Lead was a nice quiet town without being overly-touristy like many of the surrounding towns - with the Homestake mine as an attraction! The Nugget was spacious and UNBELIEVABLY CLEAN. Everything we needed was provided. Making arrangements and working with ownership was very easy through the entire process. You cannot go wrong with this property.

                        Owner response: Whew, "unbelieveably clean" is quite a standard to live up to! We try to always keep improving The Nugget and to make any surprises to the upside. Our cleaning gal/manager is fantastic, but as we also try to describe our place accurately, maybe "believeably clean" is an even better description. Thanks for the nice review Jim!

                        We used to own a time share but got really tired of the restrictions and the hassle. So we thought for our Black Hills Vacation we'd try Home Away and I'm so glad we did. The Nugget in Lead is a great little spot for a home base, nothin' fancy....but it was clean, well maintained and affordable. The beds were comfortable and for being on main street it was surprisingly private and quiet. Lead is a just a few miles from Deadwood so we were close enough to action of Wild Bill Days but also had a nice quiet place to come back to at the end of our full days of sightseeing. There is a grocery store within walking distance so we saved a ton on food by using the fully equipped kitchen and nice outdoor BBQ. The owner Mike is great to work with, very friendly, timely and responsive. The description and the pictures are accurate but don't really do it justice. It is an older place but it is clean and well taken care of. Great for a family on a budget, very affordable with all the comforts of home. We had a great time! Thanks Home Away!

                        We stayed in this apartment 4 nights. It was a great place to stay for touring the Black Hills. It is as advertised. We especially appreciated the washer and dryer. Also, it was great to have non-stick frying pans! If you go, I definitely recommend the scenic drives, especially the Needles Highway and Spearfish canyon.

                        What a great place to stay while sight seeing in the Black Hills! We had everything we needed plus. There was plenty of room and hot water too for our small crowd of 6. The owner was also generous to let us have an extra person. One of the teenagers slept on a chair that unfolds into a foam bed. Our group from 12 to 82 years of age was impressed with the cleanliness, all the essentials, the quiet at night, and the location. The beds were very comfy and we got up feeling well rested. There is a grocery store on the next block for the times you get tired of eating out. The price was a steal for what we received. I highly recommend the Nugget in Lead!

                        Our family of 5 stayed in The Nugget in June 2009 while working on our own project in the Hills. We arrived at night and drove right by it, not realizing that it was the tuck-under of the building on Main Street.... SO for those of you looking for it, go around the block.... :) Once there, it was perfect for our family. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of room for all of us to stretch out and eat together, and family movies to boot. Separate beds for all 3 kids was a MAJOR plus!
