Spacious hideaway in the Black Hills

We stayed at the property for a Black Hills vacation in July 2025. The property is immaculately kept, and exceeded our expectations. Spa-like showers, panoramic views, and ideal location for our day trips. Host was responsive and hospitable. The open floor plan of the kitchen and living areas, combined with the outdoor decks, gave us a great place for visiting and sharing meals. Lovely stay!

Perfect in all ways!

This location was perfect for friends getaway. Parking can be a little tricky for motorcycles, but we all made it work. Hopefully, we can stay there again in the near future. Communication was phenomenal. The site looking out from the balcony was amazing.

House on a hill in Lead

The property was perfect for our group of 8. The kitchen/living room is open with a bar top counter which made it perfect for everyone to congregate. The bedrooms are spread out which gave everyone their own space. It was clean & had everything we needed.

Super cute place in eclectic mining town

Great Value!

Super clean nice house. It had plenty of room for our 9 guests. Parking was harder than expected but can be done with some finesse. The ac units struggled to keep the house under 75 but it was high 90s the whole time we were there.

Our family of. 7 really enjoyed our stay at Summit Lodge. Perfect place to be for a snow storm.

We enjoyed skiing at Terry Peak and along the Michelson trail. We cooked all of our own meals in the very spacious and we'll equipped kitchen. The views from the house are great and the neighborhood was very peaceful. Being in Lead made it easy for everyone in our group to do what they want whether that be downhill skiing, relaxing at the house or exploring the Michelson trail. The owner was very helpful and responsive. This will be one of our most memorable holidays together. My daughter said it was her favorite trip yet. Thank you to the owners.

Property sits on the side of a steep hill. Have to be careful with your footing. The interior is cute and homey feeling. The shag carpet is out dated going down stairs to great room. The dryer was going and had towels in it when we arrived. Three deer came to hangout with us on the property. Very tame. Our stay coincided with The Sturgis Bike Rally. Proximity and central location made it very easy to access everything the Black Hills has to offer. 5 minutes from Deadwood. Mavericks Casio/restaurant was outstanding. The food is delicious.

Ski trip.

We left a message on the counter. Many broken items in the home when we arrived crock pot, sliding glass door lock, bed slats to the point that we had to use the couch . Very dusty. Snow removal made it necessary for us to scoop to get in and out. We parked in the street two nights out of necessity even though it says their is parking. There isn't parking if one can not use it. Otherwise the layout was good in the home with things for the teenagers to do. Comfortable for an eight party. Wild life came right up to the door. Thankyou

Nice place with plenty of room for a large group of friends. Short drive to downtown Deadwood. Roads to the house at steep, small and limited parking but this is typical for the area and the view is gorgeous.

House was very nice for our long weekend enjoying the areas attractions. We were comfortable and everything was lovely. The only comment I would share for others is that most of the homes in that area are built on hills. Parking is limited and the driveway is on a significant grade. Those with mobility issues may struggle dealing with loading and unloading... we were glad it was snowy or icy. Thanks for a great weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne Starostecka

Host profile image
We enjoy spending weekends at the house, relaxing, reading books, going biking on the Michelson Trail, going out to dinner or touring the local attractions and new places we haven't seen yet. The changing weather conditions are always exciting to watch. We love going rock hunting, hiking, skiing and tubing with our kids. At night we cook dinners, sip wine and play board games.

Why they chose this property

It was love at first site. We saw the views from this house and the convenient location to so many activities, including skiing, the new Neutrino Lab in the historic Homestake gold mine and the close proximity to Deadwood events and the Michelson Trail.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the panoramic views of the mountains this property has to offer.
