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.

Perfect for our family. Great location to town with great restaurants, ice cream and souvenirs, in addition to Custer state park and Crazy Horse Monument. Very convenient. The swings and tetherball were a huge plus after the kids rode in the car for 2 days straight!

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
