If you want absolute quiet, this is the place.
It’s a full large house which is extremely well furnished. The kitchen has everything down to the detail in utensils and cooking ware. The in room soaking bath was luxurious. The hot tub is big and the water is silky, well balanced Ph. We never turned the large TV on. The only stairs are a few getting into the house in front, some stairs below the hot tub deck where the grill stands, and the steps getting into the hot tub. It is a few miles of dirt road to get there but well worth the drive to absorb the deafening silence. We could hear the elk bugle and coyotes howl. The only drawback is one of personal preference; the bedrooms are very comfortable but the window coverings don’t darken the room very well. A heavier drape would work well. The blinds are fine. The proprietor is wonderful and most helpful answering questions about the house prior to making a reservation and giving us excellent directions to get there. This is a bit long but I just want to stress what a perfect place the Ponderosa is. We will definitely return.

Exceptionally well set up for visitors.
At this cabin it is immediately obvious that the host/hostess have thought out the needs of users. They have literally provided everything one could possibly need to enjoy a visit and not worry about "where are we going to find a coffee pot, ironing board, dishwasher, washer/dryer, tv system, linens, or virtually anything else one might need. I was tremendously impressed with both the accommodations and the response from the owners when any question was raised. Bravo and I would highly recommend you stay here!!

Perfect Family Rental
Our family of 5 (kids ages 8, 10, and 12) stayed here while visiting all of the “must do” sights in the Custer area. It was far enough away from the crowds but not too far to be inconveniently located. We appreciated the peace and quiet, seeing the deer outside our windows, and soaking our tired feet in the hot tub each night. The house was VERY clean (and I am a clean freak) and offered plenty of linens, kitchen supplies, and toiletries. We appreciated the stock of spices so we didn’t have to purchase every little thing from the grocery store. The beds were fairly comfortable and the supply of board games, puzzles, and movies kept our kids happy. The owner, Donna, was very responsive with answers to my questions. Her notes around the house are helpful and the landline phone was awesome to have since we didn’t have great cell service at the house. The wifi worked very well, so that wasn’t a concern at all! We definitely would stay here again if we return to the area!

Great for trail-riding with large group
We rented both Aspen and Ponderosa and stayed with family and a few friends for 5 days in the Black Hills. Our main focus was ATV trail-riding and is an excellent location for easy access to trails. The houses were both fully furnished and comfortable. The hot tub was a plus. We have stayed here at least twice before and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Outstanding place to stay in Black Hills!
Centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Also lots of trailheads close by, and some we could easily get to that were farther away. The property owners provide so many extra touches that really made our week long stay very pleasant. Hope to return.

Quiet, Scenic, Clean, Fully stocked Cabin
The Mile High Retreat is a terrific place to stay. The cabin has everything you could need and more. It has cute themed rooms which my boys loved. It was extremely clean and well cared for The drive back to the cabin is absolutely amazing. The views and wildlife do not disappoint! Driving by Crazy Horse daily is an add bonus. We had the good fortune to meet Donna the owner on the last day. She is delightful and takes pride in you having a great stay. I would definitely recommend Mile High Retreat for your stay in the Black Hills!
