Great quick overnight stay!

We stopped in after a long day of traveling and getting to the room and into was easy. The bed was extremely comfortable, and there was plenty room for the kids to sleep on the futon and pullout sofa. The facility was clean, organized, and well stocked with amenities.

Great Custer location!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ponderosa Place. Our time in Custer was brief, but we really enjoyed the close proximity to shops, restaurants, and the main attractions we were there to see. Our family of five was very comfortable in the cabin. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Clean, comfortable and charming

This was such a charming cabin, from the tasteful decor to the sparkling clean bathroom to the extra towels stocked on a shelf in case we needed more than 2. We really appreciated the welcome binder of information about Custer. Crystal included her # in case of any issues but we didn’t have any! Such a comfy stay, thank you Crystal!

Good Basic Accommodation

This property is small but fine for two people who were on the go most of the time. It could feel a little cramped if there were more people or as a place to stay for an extended period during the day. It is a few miles from Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore, so it was in a good spot for our adventures, and easy walking distance to the downtown area. It offered good, basic accommodations without any frills. We have no complaints.

Very convenient and perfect for the area

This was our first VRBO experience and I was pleasantly surprised everything went as a planned. The cottage was very conveniently located to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. We had a great burger lunch at Burger and Bun with an ice cream treat at Horacio’s. No disappointments! We look forward to coming back to continue to explore more of the area and will stay here again.

Great base camp location, very small space

Very clean, easy to check in and out. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to all the Black Hills sites. All other visitors were quiet and considerate. Cabin is small and shower is very small. Listing is not clear about the actual size. Larger and/or physically challenged people might have difficulties. 6 adults in this space would be unpleasant.
