Quality family, quality horses, quality meals.....our family just had the vacation they will not forget. We had meals with the family (very fun and tasty), went out on horseback to a highpoint for a view of the Nebraska countryside, had lunch brought to us on a 4-wheeler. The kids fed the calves and sheep, fell in love with the dog... More

We took 2 absolutely stunning rides through the pines and foothills. Pictures don't do it justice. We also spent time at the local historic fort. Hayrides, rodeo and tours. A fun way to learn. The prices were reasonable and food was great. I highly recommend it. We spent 3 days and I wish I could have been there longer.

I have been to the Pondrosa 3 times. A fantastic experience for a railroad fan.. many, many great angles to shoot from. Sitting on the cabins porch at night one see thousands of stars and hear the yipping of the coyotes in the distanbce. The Lunds are great hosts, you will not be dissapointed in your visit...

My wife and I visited the ranch in May 2010 for 4 days. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Kim and Jeff. After a brief greeting we were shown our cabin, got to unpack, set up "shop" and then were at the home for lunch were we met Trevor and Kattie both very pleasant children. The ranch is a... More

I have been to the Ponderosa Ranch several times and will return again. I have stayed up at the farmhouse on the hill as well as the guest cabin at the Lund's home. I have gone with friends as well as having been there during a big motorcycle trip. Love it there. Rumor has it if you are a hunter,... More

Whenever anyone asks what my favorite vacation spot is, I tell them the Ponderosa. I have been there twice and hope I can return this year. It is peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. Do yourself a favor and make the trip. You will always have a great memory to look back on during stressful times.

I took my daughter to the Ponderosa Ranch for her 16th birthday. We flew into Rapid City, rented a car, stayed two days at the Alex Johnson Hotel (fabulous!), then drove 2 hours south into Nebraska to the Ponderosa Ranch. The Ponderosa Ranch was just wild enough -- just enough adventure -- for a mom and daughter traveling alone together.... More

super nice family who opens their doors for your vacation. We went for the photography and the area will not disappoint. Liked it so much the first time we went back again. 4 thumbs up!

My husband and I visit Western Nebraska about twice a year -- the Crawford area is a perfect vacation spot, with much to do and see. We never tire of the Western living that one finds in the area. Although we usually stay at nearby Fort Robinson State Park, we always take time to do a horseback ride with the... More
