Mount Rushmore Gettaway!

The cabin at Ponderosa Place was perfectly situated to have an amazing vacation experience. Situated close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park, the cabin was perfect to explore the area. Badlands National Park is an hour and a half away and I would recommend the drive and stop at Wall Drug store to anyone going to South Dakota. This vacation was my favorite that I have had in the continental US. I can’t recommend this cabin or the city of Custer more. We had a great time and I hope to revisit one day!

We came for a few days to enjoy this part of the Black Hills and lodging at Ponderosa Place was perfect for our needs! Our cabin was very cozy for the 2 of us with our grandson. It was well stocked to meet any of our needs, and is located such a short distance from Main street in Custer, yet still set within a quiet corner of town. We were just minutes away from Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse monument, the Needles highway and Custer State Park! What more can you ask for? We loved it!

Quaint csbin

We enjoyed our stay in Custer. The cabin was close to town and we enjoyed sitting outside in the patio. We met people at the fire pit from the other cabins on the property. The cabin was clean and cozy and we liked all the amenities . Especially the 3 ring binder with recommendations for restaurants. Custer was the best place to eat, the restaurants served delicious food in a laid back atmosphere . We would definitely stay there again on the next road trip.

Perfect space for two. Just be aware the cabin shares a wall with another cabin, so be mindful of noise. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back.
