Beautiful area. Room 18, where we stayed had an electrical problem. The electricity kept going off and on all night. That’s a problem if you use a c-pap machine. Kinda worried about a fire starting. The air conditioner must have been on a different circuit because it stayed on. Also, the bed was real high off the ground. I had to use a chair to get on the bed. Ponderosa Pines is in a beautiful area, but it needs some maintenance.

Loved the location, had to self check-in as they were short staffed, but it went smooth. Parking lot is a little small for long pickup trucks. Bed was not too stiff, but also not soft. The floors could’ve used a good mopping… they didn’t feel clean at all. Otherwise, cozy!

I thought that I had booked a cabin but we ended up in a room that was part of the Inn. It was clean and simple. I had packed food expecting to have a mini kitchen, but the room just had a microwave and a mini-fridge. The mini-fridge was unplugged so it took a while for it to get to temp to keep my food cold. I understand conserving energy, but if you are expecting guests you should have the refrigerator ready for them. The toilet was difficult to flush, you had to hold the handle down for a very long time. The cold water handle/valve to the tub/shower was also not working properly. I was pleased that we had chairs on the patio so that we could sit outside of our room, but when you sat in the chairs they reclined so far back that it was uncomfortable. The only way to stop them from reclining that far back was to put them against the building or to lean forward constantly. The building definitely has potential, the location between Deadwood and Lead is ideal. We did see some chipmunks and deer as the owners leave out corn and water for them. Would possibly stay again but would not do the "comfort" accommodations as I like to be able to make simple meals in the room.

The rooms are lovely and beds very comfortable. The only negative thing is they are not individual cabins…it is more like a log motel and the walls are thin. Otherwise it’s lovely and convenient to have your vehicle right out front your door. Very close to Deadwood for all your touristy activities. Recommend and would stay again!
