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.
You and Dustin
