Mount Rushmore Gettaway!

The cabin at Ponderosa Place was perfectly situated to have an amazing vacation experience. Situated close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park, the cabin was perfect to explore the area. Badlands National Park is an hour and a half away and I would recommend the drive and stop at Wall Drug store to anyone going to South Dakota. This vacation was my favorite that I have had in the continental US. I can’t recommend this cabin or the city of Custer more. We had a great time and I hope to revisit one day!
