Overall great time at the property, a bit of a travel for night time riding but also very secluded and quiet at night. We had 5 couples and 8 motorcycles and had plenty of room for everyone and everything. Great cabin/house that offered many different varieties for different activities and coming together as a group. Greatly enjoyed our stay!!!
Property worked great for family gathering of 21 people. One of the best stocked vacation rental kitchens for making meals for large group. Closed door game room was great for all the night owls, so others could sleep.
My family is spread across multiple states, so we were excited to find a place we could all be together and be semi close to the attractions we wanted to see.
The only problem we experienced was the slow wifi.
Beautiful home, clean and well furnished. Loved it!
We enjoyed Bear Country, Custer Part and Mount Rushmore. We all loved hiking trails to see more of Black Hills beauty. We always ended up back at the house for a supper meal and games. What a fantastic getaway for all our family, Mom Dad kids and grandkids.
Great communication and great property. Somehow it's in the middle of nowhere, and the middle of everything the Black Hills has to offer.
Couple of small items to address. (I'm nit picking) having extra light bulbs on site would be handy. Maybe some reflectors on the signage at the blacktop. It's easy to ride by after dark.
Overall, we loved it. Beautiful scenery.
This cabin was everything we needed to enjoy snowmobiling in the Black Hills! Five couples each enjoyed private rooms and their own bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed, including an extra waffle maker and a crock pot. There was plenty of room to eat together, play games and watch DVDs. The heated garage was great for storing gear and getting ready to ride. Some enjoyed the hot tub, others enjoyed the sitting area upstairs for puzzles and reading. Brian was helpful as we made the initial reservation and through check in. The wi-fi held up for those doing work and schoolwork during the trip and there were ALOT of DVDs to choose from to enjoy the evenings. Highly recommended for a large group!
Location was great the communication from the property manager was impressive but then we got there and 3 inches of ice on driveway and at the entry. They used a snowplow to get rid of the bulk of the snow then that was it. My parents arrived to a note requesting that they take the load from the washer to the dryer. My mom continued to fold that load of laundry then we continued to do laundry throughout the week since there were not enough towels -hot pad holders were filthy, and she wanted to help the staff out by getting a jump start on their work for them........ When my sister arrived, she found towels out by the hot tub. My brothers had to scoop the snow from the deck so we could use it. The grill was full of ash. My brother had to do a lot of work to be able to use it while we were there. The stovetop had not been cleaned, oven was disgusting, refrigerator had not been touched in between guests. There were dead flies behind the door in upstairs bedroom and overall dusty. Then there was the Wi-Fi. It was EXTREMELY SLOW. In that big of a house, I would suggest adding boosters throughout the house. Would add more but ran out of space.
The location was perfect for access to trails and rights next to a fuel station with great food. The place was perfect for our group. The communication with the property owner was exceptional. 100/10 recommend.
Ponderosa Hills was an awesome stay. This house is large (held our group of 10 with several empty beds), clean, and in a great location if you enjoy quick access to Lead/Deadwood but still being away from the hustle and bustle of tourism. Brian is a wonderful host with a wonder rental. Would recommend to anyone. Will immediately consider this rental the next time Iâm in the area!
Great property! Lots of room for our large extended family. Best equipped kitchen ever. Second refrigerator/freezer was a life saver. Loved seeing the deer every morning. The chipmunks kept us entertained daily.
The house was exactly as listed and the property manager was very communicative. The game room and hot tub were a big hit woth the famiky3 and it slocation was great, outisde if town to give peace and quiet but close enough to make ice cream runs. Great rental !
The house was perfect and Excellent place to stay for Utving with gas station right down the road and access to trails both ways when leaving the property. Brian was awesome responds right away to questions you have and this place is highly recommend.
A great family get away place where you can enjoy watching the wildlife in the area. Rooms were spaces and comfortable. Property manager was easy to comunicate with.
Fit our family perfectly. Kitchen was well stocked as we fixed breakfast every day and sometimes dinner. Very comfortable. Would definitely rent again if stayed in that area.
It was a great place for our group to stay. We enjoyed the privacy that our group had. We were able to hit the trails right from the house which is always a plus. A beautiful area where we got to enjoy a variety of wildlife.
Garbage all over. Dumpster full garage full and house full. All kinds of food left in fridge.
Towels were still wet and had to be redried.
Filthy silverware drawers. Dishes not put away.
Otherwise the riding and weather were good. Bedrooms were clean. Bedâs comfortable.
Stay was good. Cleanliness was a little bit to be desired, but the women got together and got everything fixed up.
If you are looking for a place that can handle a large group and unplug from the day to day grind, then this is the place for your group. 7 bedrooms x 2 people = 14 people plus a singles/kids room with 4 twin beds for a total of 18. Also 5-1/2 bathrooms, game room with foosball, pool and card tables, hot tub, patio and heated garage.
