Ponderosa Mile

Positive: Very roomy, outside for our vehicles and inside for our family. The kids enjoyed the game table and the theater room. The adults enjoyed the kitchen area and the upstairs living room for gathering. Very much needed family time with plenty of room for everyone. Negative: NA

Excellent stay! Communication with the host was quick and helpful, the ammendities were exactly as described and made our trip easy and memorable. The property was spotless upon arrival and all the bedrooms were very comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Fabulously homely place!! Positive: Loved the location! Right on the edge of the "wilderness"! Lots of wild life. Seen? deer! Heard? Coyotes! Stunning vistas, tons of fresh air and so beautifully quiet and peaceful! Negative: Prob the only disconcerting thing was, the nest of baby swallows at the top of front door. The handle of the front outer door was totally obscured by bird excrement as was a good portion of the porch. We were of course very mindful of the swallows but it meant feeling obligated to use that entrance as little as possible. We feel it only fair that the next visitor should be pre-informed there might be "shared" accommodation. Also, we are big on using air conditioning as little as possible, preferring lots of ventilation. In an ideal world, rather than solid glass, we would have enjoyed the front outer door being a secure screen door, that could have afforded a cross breeze. But perhaps weather in that region dictates that most of the time you'd be trying to retain warmth . . ?

Such a beautiful home and the location was perfect. Lots of space for the kiddos to play and explore. The owner checked in with us everyday to see if we needed anything. We would absolutely stay here next time we explore the black hills.

Had a wonderful time. House was amazing and we really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.
