The cabin was nice and cozy. Loved the little kitchen and separate bedroom. Grocery store is a block away as are the Tesla chargers. A perfect location for getting on and off the Mickelson Trail.

This unit had a better kitchen than one I had previously stayed in. It had a medium-sized refrigerator/ freezer. There is a great grocery store with reasonable prices just down the hill, Lynns Dakota Mart. The Mickelson Trail and a small Park are easily accessed a few blocks away.

Very cute little cabin (although I thought it was a stand alone cabin-was actually a row of connected cabins), quiet neighborhood, nice outside seating, very close to downtown Custer.

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.
