Homestake Home: Hot tub, Fenced yard, 3bed, 2 bath

A private hot tub in a fenced backyard, a wood-burning stone fireplace under vaulted beamed ceilings, and a deck that looks straight out over the hills. Three bedrooms and two baths give a family or two couples room to settle in. There’s a full kitchen with a double oven, a dining table for six, laundry in the house, and a gas grill on the deck. Terry Peak and Deadwood are both close, so you can ski, ride, or explore all day and soak it off at night.

Welcome to Washington Street. It climbs the hillside above Lead, and this house sits overlooking the valley making for an incredible view. Whether you enjoy from the living room or drink your coffee from the long deck this house is meant for sitting and enjoying the peace and quiet so hard to find in this modern era.

The living room is built around a stone wood burning fireplace that runs floor to ceiling, and be careful if you are on a tight schedule, it has been known to convince people to stop making plans and stay in. The sofa is deep enough to fall asleep on. There is a recliner someone in your group will claim within the first hour. Board games wait on the coffee table for the night nobody feels like driving anywhere, and the sliding doors stand open all summer so the room and the deck run together.

In the kitchen, the windows over the sink look into the trees, which is a good place to stand while the coffee brews. The double oven earns its place when you are feeding everyone at once, and there is a dishwasher, a full-size refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee maker set out for whoever is up first. Dinner is easy with a solid table with six chairs around it so everyone has a seat together.

Three bedrooms, one with a king and two with queens. The primary is the one people quietly compete for, furnished in walnut with reading lamps on both sides and a closet wide enough to really unpack into. The other two are calm and uncluttered. Two bathrooms keep a ski morning moving, and the washer and dryer mean a day of trail dust does not follow you home.

From May through October the deck is where the evening goes. Fire up the gas grill, pull the chairs around, and watch the light turn gold on the far ridge. When the weather changes, the hot tub takes over. It sits in a fenced yard under the deck overhang, sheltered from the wind and private enough to stay in long past the point your fingers wrinkle, which is exactly what a day on the mountain is owed.

Good to know before you book

The house is built into the hillside, the way most of Lead is, so there are exterior stairs up to the deck or the main entrance is into the ground level. The kitchen and primary bedroom are up the internal stairs. Worth knowing if someone in your group finds stairs difficult or you are hauling a lot of gear, and worth the climb the first time you stand up there with a cup of coffee. Unlike much of lead we have flat parking and plenty of room to turn around a trailer.

The neighborhood

Lead sits high in the northern Black Hills, and the whole region opens up from here. This is the only area of the black hills that experiences real winter every winter. Terry Peak is close for skiing in winter and lift rides in summer. Deadwood is down the hill for dinner, gaming, and a walk through its history. Spearfish Canyon and its waterfalls make an easy morning drive, the Mickelson Trail runs nearby for biking and walking, and the Open Cut is right in town.
