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!
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
We checked in on June 1 and out on June 6. We had a large group of all ages that attended for a family/friend reunion. During the days we all chose what adventure we wanted to explore. Sometimes we stayed together as a group and sometimes we went our own way. We did Bear Country, Reptile Gardens, Mt. Rushmore, Wonderland Cave, Old McDonalds Farm, Spearfish Canyon and a favorite by all was Pactola Lake. Such a beautiful crystal blue lake. We rented paddle boards and had a picnic. In the evenings we took turns doing dinner for our large group. It was all so much fun and some much needed family/friend time. The cabin housed our large group and was supplied with everything we needed. The hot tub was a nice addition for the evenings of unwinding also. Brian was wonderful to work with on the booking and checking in. He also provided a lot of useful information about the sites to prepare for our trip.
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.
