About this property
Home Base for ALL your Black Hills adventures!
Make your next vacation adventure with family or friends at Ponderosa Hills. The cabin is situated on 5 acres of aspen and pine trees, along with a scenic meadow to enjoy the wildlife of the Black Hills. Ponderosa Hills cabin has over 4800 sq ft of living space, ideal for creating a home base for your group.
Ponderosa Hills is meant to be a home away from home. Make yourself comfortable from the moment you open the front door. With eight bedrooms, you will have a selection of 3 king master suites, 4 queen bedrooms, or a bedroom set up with 4 twin beds. There will never be a line for the restroom with 5-1/2 bathrooms to choose from. After a day of play, feel free to unwind in the hot tub under a covered patio, make a challenge on the pool or foosball table, or if putting your feet up in the Great Room to catch some R & R - you are sure to enjoy whatever your desire.
The kitchen is fully equipped with wet bar, refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker and Keurig, utensils, pots and pans, crockpots, etc.; everything you need to create a home-cooked meal for your crew. If grilling is more your style, a pellet grill is located in the garage waiting to be guided outside on the concrete apron for use. The meal can be served buffet-style from the large kitchen counter, it can be served family-style around the dining table that seats 8-10 people, or on the deck to enjoy the fresh air. If you choose to go out for a meal, there are many restaurant options within a short drive through the stunning scenery of the Black Hills.
Ponderosa Hills is in a prime location for fun of all seasons. Winter time allows you to snowmobile right from the property with easy access to trails, Trailshead Lodge is 1/4 mile from the cabin. Cross-country ski trails and downhill ski slopes are within a short drive of Ponderosa Hills. When the snow melts, bring out the ATV/UTVs, motorcycles, bicycles and hiking boots - the Black Hills is a mecca for adventure! The cabin property has ample parking space for cars, pickups and tow trailers. Ponderosa Hills is located off US Hwy 85 on a private circle driveway. This vacation cabin is in a great location for biker groups, family gatherings, snowmobile enthusiasts, and all-around outdoor admirers!
Being renters before owners of Ponderosa Hills, we know this cabin offers everything you need for a wonderful Black Hills vacation get-away. We are here for your questions, not only about the cabin but the area, as well. Come visit, we would love to have you enjoy what we enjoy!
