Great Place to Stay

Really enjoyed staying at Ponderosa Place. The cabin was clean, well appointed and comfortable. Stayed three nights and so glad I chose this place. Parking in front of the unit and within walking distance of the restaurants and grocery store in Custer. So convenient! Sure beats staying in a hotel room.

It was very nice except for the coach bed. My son and his wife said it was very hard to sleep on it.

Very nice--used the fire place to roast marshmallows. The kids enjoyed the swing set

Black Hills 4-day visit

Exactly as depicted in description. For two people there is plenty of room and the location near downtown Custer and the highways leading to all the Black Hills sites are very convenient. My wife and I would recommend others to book this cabin.
