Great Place to Stay

Really enjoyed staying at Ponderosa Place. The cabin was clean, well appointed and comfortable. Stayed three nights and so glad I chose this place. Parking in front of the unit and within walking distance of the restaurants and grocery store in Custer. So convenient! Sure beats staying in a hotel room.

Black Hills 4-day visit

Exactly as depicted in description. For two people there is plenty of room and the location near downtown Custer and the highways leading to all the Black Hills sites are very convenient. My wife and I would recommend others to book this cabin.

Nice location in town

Very clean and easy access to location. The units are more motel style than cabins as they are all connected. It is in town not in a country or rural setting. This is not a negative but a clarification so others understand what to expect. The unit was nice though the shower was very small. They have grills outside and were very nice hosts. I recommend staying, especially if being in town is preferred.

It was very nice except for the coach bed. My son and his wife said it was very hard to sleep on it.

Very nice--used the fire place to roast marshmallows. The kids enjoyed the swing set

Perfect for our family. Great location to town with great restaurants, ice cream and souvenirs, in addition to Custer state park and Crazy Horse Monument. Very convenient. The swings and tetherball were a huge plus after the kids rode in the car for 2 days straight!
