We had an amazing stay! The house was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. It was well-maintained, spacious, and made us feel right at home. We had an absolute blast during our stay and made some great memories. The location was great, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!
Loved the house. Lots of room for my family. Loved the pool. Kitchen had every thing we needed. Beds were very comfortable. We had a really good time. Thank you Shane for answering my questions when I called.
The house was perfect for our whole family. It was clean and had everything we needed. The backyard pool and patio was spacious and allowed everyone to have something to do. Things were close to us. We have a yearly family gathering to celebrate our parents’ anniversary and this was by far the best home we’ve stayed at.
We had such a great time at this house! It was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our group. Everything was just as described, and the location made it easy to relax and enjoy our stay. We’d definitely come back!
Ponderosa Pines is a great place for a family reunion. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are all nice.
This property was perfect for our trip. We had our families come together for the weekend and this house fit our group! The layout is very efficient and we had plenty of room to spare. The outside wetbar worked great for hanging out and the outside bathroom was a nice touch.

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our place! We eagerly anticipate your return soon!
Great place, impressed with the ease of check in. We were a big group and some got there before I did. I was able to just read off the instructions to them and they were in. The house is very well kept. I had an issue with a cabinet door, so I sent a message. Shane was there in about 10 minutes to take care of it. The customer service was great.
We loved our stay at Ponderose Paradise. We had five families with lots of kids, and it was the perfect place for everyone to get together. There are plenty of activities for all ages. Property is well maintained and clean.
It was fun having all family friends together in a remote location. Everyone had comfortable stay in their own rooms with all amenities included. Nice having the swimming pool on the property. Overall it was a good fun weekend getaway spot!!
My entire family had a great time. The house was large enough for everyone. The pool was fantastic. Love having 3 refrigerators; makes storing food for the weekend a breeze. Host was very attentive when we needed anything. I can't wait to stay here again. Family vacation to remember!!
It was a perfect home for our size family of 24. The house had everything we needed. The pool was a huge hit with our grandkids. The host was super prompt and helpful with all our questions. We would definitely stay here again.
This house was beautiful. We spent lots of time in the backyard where kids and adults enjoyed playing volleyball, ping pong, cornhole and tether ball. The kitchen and living room also had plenty of room for all our 21 guests.
The house was very nice and there was plenty of room for all of us. It was nice that everyone had a bed and didn’t have to sleep in a bunk bed. The outdoor area was nice and large so that all of us could be outside visiting and have seating. The kitchen was well stocked and the pantry was great for storing food. The house was very clean and cared for. I would certainly stay there again.
First trip to Concan - big family group. House outfitted with everything we needed (bring your own towels and don’t forget kitchen towels!)
Bedroom layout was perfect, pool was great , beautiful, peaceful, awesome stars at night.
Enjoyed Garner State Park hiking and Concan swimming hole. Needed some help with door access and swimming hole code- Shane immediately available to assist.
Would totally stay in this property again
