Top Ponderosa Hotel Reviews

One acre with a fire pit, kids play area, treehouse, zipline, pets welcome

10/10 Excellent

"My guys love this cabin. We're working in the area and rent cabins frequently for employees. This is one of their favorites."

Ranch Getaway in the foothills of the Sierras

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely beautiful. My family had such a great time. The kids loved the big tree swing. They enjoyed canoeing around the pond and they hiked the hills up to a fun cave. The deck was so enjoyable in the morning to have coffee and in the evening to sit around and have a glass of wine. The host was very prompt in replying to any questions we had. We were very impressed with the entire experience."

Sequoia Forest Remote Retreat! 'Dreamtime Cabin'

10/10 Excellent

"Property has everything you need-very remote and quite-highly recommend anyone visiting this area to stay at this cabin"

Enchanting Castle with Nature View to Relax

10/10 Excellent

"I came to Springville for a wedding and needed a place for a few days. Despite the requests from my family, I refused to settle for some boring room at the Days Inn and sought after something more unique and memorable...something more suitable for an odd blue collar faery type person who needed to pre-game for a faery themed wedding at the most graceful pace possible...and in style. I knew when I saw the enchanted castle that it was far superior to my alternatives and proceeded to enjoy every part of existing in such a splendid micro-palace. It could use more mirrors, and maybe some window screens, but nothing detracted from the experience. Such a great combination of rustic elegance and posh grit. Highly recommend for princess tomboys and feral queens."

Tiny Trees Cabin (Giant Sequoias)

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful. Some DYI projects resulted in both the shower and bath not functioning well or getting very hot with multiple users. However, the home has great space and very cozy. Be warned the location is a little rough! It takes close to an hour to get from the town to the property because of the drive up the mountain. As long as you don't have things planned away like we did you'll be fine. Fortunately, we had some groceries from the first leg of our vacation, or we would've been stuck without food for breakfast... make sure you arrive with everything you need!"

Clover Cabin In The Sequoia National Forest, not near the National Park

10/10 Excellent

"make sure you bring groceries. old style road maps might be helpful"

SplitRock Cabin, Ponderosa California. A Log Cabin Paradise!

10/10 Excellent

"Great balcony and views. Funky loaded kitchen. Had a great time with friends."

Little Bear Lodge Ponderosa Ca

10/10 Excellent

"We throughly enjoyed your cabin! Thank you!"

5 bedroom, 4 bath house, private fenced pool, game room and large yard.

"Second time our family has stayed here. We loved it and plan on coming back every year."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ponderosa?

The best area to stay in Ponderosa is the village center, particularly around Main Street, for convenient access to dining, shopping, and activities.This central area is the hub of Ponderosa, featuring a collection of lodges, restaurants, and shops all within easy walking distance. Main Street runs through the heart of the village, offering direct access to the Ponderosa Ski Resort base area. Its compact layout makes it simple to navigate on foot, and many accommodations provide views of the surrounding mountains.Couples often find this area ideal due to its convenience and the availability of upscale dining and relaxed evening entertainment. You can easily stroll to dinner, enjoy a drink, or browse the local boutiques without needing a car. The proximity to the ski lifts also means more time on the slopes and less time commuting.Families also appreciate the village center for its accessibility to activities and amenities. Many accommodations offer family-friendly suites, and the short walk to the ski school or other recreational facilities simplifies daily logistics.
