Tucked into a hillside, Ponderosa Pines lives up to its name as it’s surrounded by forest. A small stream runs in front of the property, and deer stroll the hills. The experience was like an updated old-school camp. Cabins and lodges are accurately pictured online. Ours was comfortable and clean. The room layout in ours (#15) was a little awkward and could benefit from a chair and bedside table. Water was hot, pillows comfortable, and services like groceries and dining were just minutes away. And it was quiet too in spite of the motorcycle rally.

Comfortable, and Serene

Great experience at this clean and comfortable cabin. Our room was on the end of the cabin. Parking in front of our door was great and the option to sit outside on the chairs of the front porch was a nice bonus. Loved the smart tv. Air conditioning worked excellent. Great mini fridge. Large bathroom which was ultra clean and towels galore were provided. Would be glad to stay here again.

Loved the outdoor space, we used the grill and enjoyed eating in the cover area outside with picnic tables. The room was clean and had good space. My only complaint was the bed was too firm.

We never saw or met anyone who worked there, but it wasn't necessary because of the excellent communication we received before checking in. We were provided with a phone number to text if we had any needs or questions and our text was returned promptly. We found the room spotlessly clean and in good condition. We especially enjoyed the front porch with the comfortable chairs where we could sit and watch the world go by with a backdrop of beautiful ponderosa pine trees. We recommend this place!
