Great base camp location, very small space
Very clean, easy to check in and out. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to all the Black Hills sites. All other visitors were quiet and considerate. Cabin is small and shower is very small. Listing is not clear about the actual size. Larger and/or physically challenged people might have difficulties. 6 adults in this space would be unpleasant.

Clean, comfortable and charming
This was such a charming cabin, from the tasteful decor to the sparkling clean bathroom to the extra towels stocked on a shelf in case we needed more than 2. We really appreciated the welcome binder of information about Custer. Crystal included her # in case of any issues but we didn’t have any! Such a comfy stay, thank you Crystal!

Far Exceeded Our Expectations
This was our first trip to Custer and we weren't sure what to expect. We stayed 4 nights in the Buffalo Cabin at Pondeosa Place. We loved it so much we wanted to rearrange the second part of our vacation and stay here longer. The cabins and property are modest but are meticulously cleaned and cared for. We were very surprised at how nice the inside of the cabin is. The furniture, bedding and kitchen all seem new. The entire inside was spotless. The owner is super friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. The property is just a couple of blocks from downtown. We walked to everything in town. The town of Custer has a fair share of restaurants, coffee shops and even a brew pub. It never felt crowded and everyone was really friendly. The surrounding area is jaw-droppingly beautiful. We have zero complaints about anything and are already planning our next visit to the Ponderosa Place.

Good Basic Accommodation
This property is small but fine for two people who were on the go most of the time. It could feel a little cramped if there were more people or as a place to stay for an extended period during the day. It is a few miles from Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore, so it was in a good spot for our adventures, and easy walking distance to the downtown area. It offered good, basic accommodations without any frills. We have no complaints.

Quiet, clean and convenient!
My husband and I were thoroughly pleased with our stay in every way. Everything was prepared and welcoming when we arrived and the key code check in was super-easy! If you wanted to walk, the location is near enough to downtown, the Custer visitor center and a lovely park but we made quick jaunts in our vehicle so we could shop. :-) We also had the chance to meet the owner which only added to our pleasure of staying. They are hard working and personable and present a great place to stay and enjoy the beautiful area of Custer and the Blackhills! We will stay again, I'm sure!

Our stay was perfect!
From check-in to check-out, our stay was perfect. Our cabin was immaculate, 100% as advertised and such a welcome sight as we arrived. We found the location to be quiet and offering easy access to all the places of interest both inside the city of Custer, the state park and in the surrounding area. The owner and property manage, Crystal, was delightful to work with as our dates of stay were adjusted slightly due to a change in our itinerary! After exchanging messages online, we were so happy to have a chance in-person introduction to her one morning as we enjoyed breakfast on our patio. (We cooked several meals and enjoyed having the top quality grilling area available!) We are so happy we chose Ponderosa Place for this trip. We're repeat visitors to Custer and found Ponderosa Place to rank among the very best accommodations we've enjoyed during these travels! Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ponderosa Place. Our time in Custer was brief, but we really enjoyed the close proximity to shops, restaurants, and the main attractions we were there to see. Our family of five was very comfortable in the cabin. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place to stay in the Black Hills
The property was clean and had everything we needed. Nice charcoal grille outside for grilling. Excellent location to access Custer state park. There is a neat little park behind the property that has several overlooks that is worth hiking -- check on all-trails.
