Ponderosa Pines: Motel Room 18- Peaceful room in the woods

Couples love this cozy retreat with a spacious king-size bed, newly updated interior, and serene atmosphere. Relax with all the comforts of home: fresh linens, towels, microwave, mini fridge, coffee setup, hairdryer, and dishware. This is the perfect space for a romantic getaway near Deadwood or a solo escape to the Black Hills. Don’t forget to step outside and enjoy your private outdoor seating area under the trees.

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 by phone 24/7 for anything urgent, and we're on-site most days — but not always. Think of this as a laid-back Airbnb experience in a boutique motel format. You’ll have privacy and independence, but we’re just a call or message away if you need anything. :)
