Ponderosa Cabin

Tucked away on a secluded mesa, Ponderosa Cabin in Hot Springs is a perfect couple's getaway. Located at Highland Meadows Resort in the Black Hills, you'll likely see a variety of wildlife and enjoy peaceful views. If you enjoy star-gazing, you can sit by your own fire pit in the evening and relax back in comfy Adirondacks as you view the stars during your private retreat. You can also head to Wind Cave National Park (10 minute drive) for prime stargazing, recognized my astonomy enthusiasts as a dark sky location in South Dakota.

In the mornings, we recommend a cup of tea as you lounge in your Adirondacks and wait for the wildlife to stroll by ...
