Great Custer location!
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 quick overnight stay!
We stopped in after a long day of traveling and getting to the room and into was easy. The bed was extremely comfortable, and there was plenty room for the kids to sleep on the futon and pullout sofa. The facility was clean, organized, and well stocked with amenities.

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.

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!

Very convenient and perfect for the area
This was our first VRBO experience and I was pleasantly surprised everything went as a planned. The cottage was very conveniently located to Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. We had a great burger lunch at Burger and Bun with an ice cream treat at Horacio’s. No disappointments! We look forward to coming back to continue to explore more of the area and will stay here again.

A Nice Surprise
Our stay in the Buffalo Room was great with some added fun features. Chrystal provided a great binder that answered all possible questions and each room has an outside grill and it was peaceful sitting by the fire pit during the evening hours. The overall price made it especially worth while. Dan & Virginia - Augusta, Ga.

Fantastic location
This was our 5th trip to the Black Hills. Never stayed in Custer, but will from now on!! Great access to highways and yet just outside of the crazy crowds. The cabin was perfect for myself, 13 yo daughter and 11 yo son. We each had out own place to sleep. Kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and pots ands pans. It is obvious Crystal takes pride in her rentals!!

A nice property at a reasonable price
Everything was really good except trying to get around the extra large Queen sized bed frame. It would be workable for younger people but difficult for seniors. The check out time was surprisingly early at 10:00 am. The property manager/owner was especially helpful.

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!
