Welcome to the Pondo – Your Rustic Black Hills Getaway

Stay in one of five quaint, vintage motel rooms at the Ponderosa Inn and Cabins, tucked into the trees just 100 yards off Highway 85 in Lead, SD. The rest of the property features separate cabin rentals, and you’ll likely spot deer or turkeys roaming by.

This is a rustic, older property — simple, clean, and peaceful — with just enough modern comforts:

🛏️ Brand new heating/cooling (PTAC) units
📺 Smart Roku TV (Guest Mode – log into your own subscriptions)
📶 Professionally maintained Wi-Fi
🧺 Mini fridge, microwave, hair dryer, on-demand hot water
☕ Covered patio out front — perfect for a quiet morning coffee

Check-in is fully contactless. You’ll receive a unique door code on the day of arrival — no keys, no front desk.

📅 Cleaners are on-site daily
🚗 Some highway noise is possible depending on season and traffic.
🌲 Expect to see other guests on the property — this is a shared rental space.

If you’re looking for a laid-back, rustic place to rest between Black Hills adventures, we’d love to have you!

You will have access to your individual hotel room, the front patio area and all common areas like the covered picnic area.

This cabin is pet-friendly with a one-time pet fee of $75. We allow up to 2 dogs/cats as long as they are fully potty trained, will be off the bed and couch, and not left alone unless kenneled.

We’re available to help from 7 AM to 11 PM every day via call, text, or message. After hours, we switch to emergency-only mode, phone calls only, please. And fair warning: I’m a heavy sleeper, so you might need to call twice to wake me up! 😴📞

This is a hotel and cabins. There are other guests on property. There is no lobby at this property.

- **Margaret Doely** (3.0/5, 2026-07-19): "Checking in was a little confusing as there were 2 key panels. We were not informed as to which one to use. We also were not informed that you must key it in slowly.  While we were there another elderly couple showed up and they also were very confused so we helped them with getting to their cabin and getting into it."
