Welcome to the Pondo – Your Rustic Black Hills Getaway

Stay in one of twelve 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 will occur 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 cabin, the front patio area and all common areas like the covered picnic area and firepit.

We’re available to help from 7 AM to 10 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.
