We have several rooms available in our historic 1899 Queen Anne home in Deadwood, South Dakota. The house is in the Presidential District (all the streets in the neighborhood are named after American presidents), which is one of the oldest and most prestigious quarters in the city. No more than a five-minute walk from the important stuff, including the casinos and historic buildings on Main Street, the Adams Museum and the Mickelson Trail. The Adams House is just five houses over (you can catch the Deadwood trolley there), and Mount Moriah Cemetery, the final resting place of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, is a few minutes walk to the top of our hill.

The home itself is one of the biggest Victorians built in Deadwood, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. It has original woodwork and stained glass, but the plumbing and heating are all (thankfully) new. It was constructed in 1898/1899 by H.B. Wardman, one of those rich-but-never-famous Deadwood businessmen who was mayor of the town in the 1920s. The house still has a lot of the original fixtures and 19th century technology (call bells, gas lighting fixtures, etc.).

This listing is for our attic apartment, which is a large bedroom with private bath on the third floor. It's a good climb up the stairs, but the room is large and the bathroom was built just a few years ago. There's one queen bed in this space, plus two dressers and a television. The rest of the attic is unfinished, so you have the entire floor to yourself. Other bedrooms are available as their own Airbnb listing.

Full disclosure: the house is in the process of being restored, and some areas of the house aren't fully fixed yet. There are several unpainted walls, a few unfinished pieces of trim, and the kitchen is straight out of the 1970s. If you don't mind a few rough spots, it's a beautiful historic home to stay in.

Because it's an old neighborhood with limited space, parking can be tricky. There may be a small space available on the street; if not, there's a free city parking lot that's a three-minute walk down the hill.

  • We were sorry that we were not able to say Good bye and Thank You when we left as we left early.We very much enjoyed our experience. We loved the old home as we live in one ourselves. It is obvious that they have done alot of work. Dustin and his wife were very pleasant, informative and great hosts. The location was convenient with no problems with parking as the add said. The attic bedroom has 41 steps from the porch to the room.:) We were able to do it with no problem.

  • We had a really great time staying in this beautiful and historic house. Dustin was very accommodating, and the location is beautiful. Right down the street from the historic cemetery and just a few minutes walk from downtown Deadwood. When this house is fully restored, it will truly be stunning.

  • Dustin and Laura were friendly and accommodating! They let us choose the rooms we wanted and were flexible about everything, even recommended restaurants at the last min and even drew us a map , It is a beautiful Victorian house in Deadwood and would go there to stay if i was in deadwood again. ;0)

  • Dustin and Laura were great hosts. Their old Victorian in the legendary town of Deadwood is the stuff dreams are made on. Because it was our first time visiting the Black Hills, we were happy we went the airbnb route. Staying with Dustin and Laura, who are natives of the area, we were able to get their opinions on where to eat, what not to miss and ideas for rainy days in town!

  • Really good location in Deadwood, SD. Hosts were friendly, helpful, and very gracious about our changing schedule and later arrival time. Thank you so much and look forward to staying with you again! Hopefully longer in order to see more of the town!

  • dustin was a very welcoming host. he made an exception to allow my little dog stay in the house for the night. the room in i stayed in was an attic room with it's own private bathroom. i had a late arrival and very early departure, so the space was perfect for laying my head. the town, deadwood, was very charming and the neighborhood was breathtaking. if i ever return to deadwood, i will most definatley stay with dustin.

  • What a great home in a beautiful location! Dustin and Laura were great hosts - super friendly, helpful in navigating and prioritizing visits of the surrounding area. It was a perfect base for exploring the Black Hills and Deadwood is so rich with history - with Mt. Moriah Cemetery and Adams House just around the corner from their house. I recommend anyone planning to explore the Black Hills to stay with them!

  • Our experience with Dustin and Laura was so nice. We were easily comfortable with them in their beautiful and interesting home. We did not stop in Deadwood for the gambling, but have found a new charm about the city after staying with Dustin and Laura. We wish them the best with airbnb and would love to come back in a few years and see just what they have done with the restoration!

  • Dustin and Laura were wonderful hosts. They are incredibly friendly (we all went out to dinner together on our first night) and despite being renovated, their home is an enthralling place to stay (not to mention clean and tidy!). The room with en-suite bathroom was incredibly comfortable and waking up to a view of the hills each morning was fantastic. Spending time here was a real treat.

  • Dustin was a wonderful host. He was very thoughtful in taking me through his home to show it off. The home he has is lovely. My guest room in the attic had a private bathroom, which was very nice. I was most impressed that he took a few moments to chat with me about things unrelated to my stay.
