With its pristine condition, thoughtful amenities, and responsive hosts, guests consistently enjoy an unforgettable experience while exploring the enchanting Black Hills and nearby attractions.

J&J Ponderosa Mile house is a great location to easily explore RC and Keystone. The property app is amazing with a lot of good info. The house looked like the photos and the layout worked perfect with the 3 main bedrooms upstairs and game/theater rooms downstairs. We didn't need the lwr bedrooms but would be nice for larger parties. The kitchen & BBQ was great for homecooking. We were the 1st short term renters so there were some items missing normally at ABBs and some dog fur from the vents due to the previous long term tenants. However, the guest services team were quick to respond, accommodating & pleasant to work with. Jeff, the property manager, was awesome and came right over to provide missing items & help. He was respectful, kind, and worked quickly. He addressed our concerns so I don't think it'll be an issue for the future. The location on the golf course was a plus for our golfers as well as the beautiful view from the back deck. We would rent again if visiting the BH area!

Our whole group  really felt at home, a home away from home.

The house was amazing and the view was perfect!

We had such a wonderful experience at Ponderosa Mile! Thank you for having us :) We will definitely be coming back soon

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 . . ?
