Ponderosa Cabin: Luxury at Highland Meadows

Nestled on a secluded 12.5-acre mesa, this luxury cabin offers an unparalleled experience. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be enveloped in the natural beauty of the Black Hills, where wildlife sightings are just outside your door — deer grazing in the distance or turkeys and rabbits playing in the meadow. As the sun sets, the sky is painted in hues of orange and pink, casting a serene glow across the land — the perfect backdrop for an evening spent around your own private fire pit.

Ponderosa Cabin is our most luxurious and spacious cabin at Highland Meadows Resort. It includes a functional kitchen and spacious living room designed with an Italian leather sofa-sleeper, electric fireplace, smart TV, and surround sound. The bedroom, with its luxurious king-sized bed, boasts sweeping views of the landscape through a sliding glass door that leads directly to your private picnic area. Step outside to fire up your gas grill, unwind in your hammock (in warm months), or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings beneath towering pines.

The cabin is equipped with everything you need to feel right at home. Whether you want to work remotely in the peaceful solitude of your cabin, play a few games from the collection inside, or gather around the shared wood fire pit with fellow guests, there’s something for everyone here. For those looking to explore, Highland Meadows Resort is ideally located just a short drive from some of the area’s top attractions, including Moccasin Springs Mineral Spa, Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, and the world-famous Mammoth Site. After a day of hiking, sightseeing, or wildlife viewing, return to the comfort and tranquility of your cabin, where you can relax in Adirondack chairs, enjoy an evening fire, or even catch a glimpse of the abundant wildlife from the cabin window.

Guests also have access to shared amenities, including yard games, a picnic area, and laundry facilities, but your cabin and its yard are your private oasis, offering the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. Whether you’re lounging in the hammock, enjoying an al fresco meal, or marveling at the beauty of the Black Hills, Ponderosa Cabin is designed to help you unwind.

At Highland Meadows Resort, we believe in giving our guests the ultimate experience in comfort, tranquility, and natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, we invite you to make Ponderosa Cabin your home base for exploring the breathtaking Black Hills.
