Great Custer location!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ponderosa Place. Our time in Custer was brief, but we really enjoyed the close proximity to shops, restaurants, and the main attractions we were there to see. Our family of five was very comfortable in the cabin. Wish we could have stayed longer!
