This place is close to everything and far enough away to not be affected by the busyness that is Lead and Deadwood. I love being near the woods and mountains but where it is quiet and peaceful. This is a no frills, down to earth kind of place and I love it!

It was very echo friendly cuz there was very little hot water flow in the shower.!?!? The hair dryer didn't work. It was almost impossible to drain sink. No one to check us in and we did not notice the email prior. However, the room was quiet, charming and homing. The location was good. PS instruction would be helpful at coffee maker.

Convenient location by Lead/Deadwood

We stayed in cabin #5, there was 3 bedrooms with queen size beds in each room. Nothing fancy but very comfortable. There was a microwave and mini fridge but be aware of no cooking facilities or dishes. This worked fine for us as we had cereal and donuts for breakfast and we made sandwiches and had snacks in the evening when we got back from sightseeing for the day. There is a bbq grill but no utensils to use. We were still able to bbq hot dogs with what we had with. There is a grocery store and gas station less then a 1/4 mile away. Parking was directly in front of cabin. Cons: no end tables or night stands, no washclothes but lots of towels.

The property was fairly clean, but old / run down. No staff onsite. No cleaning services offered / available during our stay. Limited amount of clean towels were provided at the beginning of the stay, however, nothing additional provided. This was our first time staying at this property. While it worked for our needs at the time, I'd prefer to spend the money on a nicer room with additional amenities. Staff / communication was via email or text only.

I was pleasantly surprised on how clean this cabin was. Some of the outlets need replaced as my charger wouldn't stay plugged in but other than that it was amazing.

Tucked into a hillside, Ponderosa Pines lives up to its name as it’s surrounded by forest. A small stream runs in front of the property, and deer stroll the hills. The experience was like an updated old-school camp. Cabins and lodges are accurately pictured online. Ours was comfortable and clean. The room layout in ours (#15) was a little awkward and could benefit from a chair and bedside table. Water was hot, pillows comfortable, and services like groceries and dining were just minutes away. And it was quiet too in spite of the motorcycle rally.
