Cassie was great to work with and was prompt replying to my questions. The welcome email check-in instructions were clear. There were no surprises. The condo was well stocked, Kitchen supplies, linens, soaps, paper goods, etc, were available. The condo was clean and ready to settle in when we arrived. The condo was in a convenient location in town, close to the grocery store and gas station and waking distance to local pubs. Short drive to Deadwood where we met with other off-roaders in our group in the morning for our day trips. What I recommend; Place a reminder on the microwave to turn off the a/c unit before using. B: The queen bed was too high for me to get in. The top of the mattress was mid chest. It really could use a step. All in all, we had a great stay and we would stay there again. I will recommend Cassie's condo to others.

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.

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.

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!

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!
