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. More

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... More

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

Do yourself a favor and make the trip. You will always have a great memory to look back on during stressful times. More

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! More

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

Can't say enough wonderful things about Ponderosa Ranch. My husband and I had become so disenchanted with staying at the same-ol' chain hotels, so we decided to book a long weekend in Crawford at a place where we could enjoy the environs without being just another triple digit number on the door. I think its the attention to detail that... More
