    The location was great for a short walk into town and to a hiking trail. The house was large and had plenty of space and rooms to choose from for our party of 6. It was clean and comfortable, and was easy to communicate with host. It was the best spot for our family to stay during a mini family reunion and graduation weekend.

    Crystal, the host, was very responsive and communicated quickly to any questions we had. There was a lot of space in the home, and eight people would be very comfortable here. We were a family of five. The only drawback is having two bathrooms however they are very functional. If you had eight people sharing two bathrooms, you would definitely need to plan your time! There were games and puzzles to play, two different ways to make coffee, and everything you could need in the kitchen if you wanted to cook.Some of the surfaces were not as clean as you might wish they were, including the back of the stove, the stove trays, the outside grill, and an area rug. But these were minor issues, and we would definitely return!

    This was a very comfy winter retreat for our family and friends. Seeing the Black Hills in the winter does not disappoint, and the cabin was perfect for our entire stay! The host is very welcoming and we are thankful for this rental!

    House was great for our extended family of 9. Was very clean with a well stocked kitchen & plenty of towels in the bathroom for all. We would recommend this house to all interested in exploring Custer & the The Black Hills.

    We had a wonderful time here on a quick overnight for the Big Mick bike ride. Comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, nearby grocery permitting a relaxing dinner at home. Everything clean, nice, perfect. Thanks for opening your lodge to us.

    Stayed at Ponderosa Lodge and 2 cabins. Very clean and very comfortable for our group of 12. Outside property is well maintained. Crystal accommodated us very well. If we ever go back to Custer we would stay at Ponderosa Lodge again.
