Thanks for the memories, Ron

The last time I was there , I remeimber how much everthing cost .

LOST ME WHEN YOU SAID SOME FOOL TORE IT DOWN!

Hopsing...😢

I have the same childhood memories. No one could speak during the show. We had snacks or desserts ready to watch it too. Great show. Wish TV would return to great shows again.

love this! staying here right now and I have to say I feel like the stores and food options are so lacking and many off theme. The casino/lobby still look decent but you can see it is time for a refresh. The cloud ceiling is brown in spots and showing cracks and its age. I think this could elevate to a Venetian level resort but Caesars needs to invest more to keep it higher end.

What a shame. it was a beautiful place. Wanted to take friends there but it was too late. Glad I was able to visit a couple of times as I loved the show!

Got Married there❤

Lake Tahoe was one of the most beautiful views looking down from mountains when I was a kid

I was at the ranch in 1974

I've been to a few locations shoots. What you find is and the building are empty on the inside or used to storage equipment. The Flintstones set was nothing more than plastic sheds. When you see the scene where the tent are torn down and just open framed 2x4s is just what they are.

Still watching at 70 🪶

Everything back in that western era was beautiful. The scenery, the houses and the interior designs. Back when care and thought was put into everything and when humans were proud of their work and claimed their pride.

Feather River Shortline steam locomotive #8!

Still have a tin cup... Had a uncle that lived near the property...

22 1 25 The persistence of memories

Love The Bonanza. Family, great values

Apparently there is a replica house of the Ponderosa Ranch in Arizona. I saw a video on it. Its a real house in a suburban neighbourhood.

1950 bonanza

Grew up watching Bonanza. I visited there in 2004. Sad that it is gone. Good video.

I visited the ranch when I was a child, I was surprised by how small the rooms were , the upstairs went to doors with nothing behind them.

You didn’t mention that at the top of the staircase there was only a wall and no rooms. The house was built for making the movies and didn’t need any rooms upstairs.

Great memories to now bittersweet of a bygone era. Bonanza,Gunsmoke,The Virginian,Rawhide. Great westerns and Theme songs!

I am from Germany and I remember when my whole family and I watched Bonanza every week. What a heartwarming memory🇩🇪❤️🇺🇸

I liked the real peacock not todays version

Too bad it is now closed. It was closed and sold back in 2004 and later resold in 2020 for $38 million.

Went there when I was 5 with my mom and grandma and 4 siblings still have the metal cup great memories

Went to the original Ponderosa Ranch at Incline Village, Nevada twice before they closed.😢

I toured it back in 2001 !

toured the ranch yrs ago. l loved the show so it was pretty cool to go there. we were in reno, so renteda car , drove to carson city, va city etc.

Thanks so much for sharing. This is the best MASH location video I have ever seen!

In '89 My wife and I honeymooned in Tahoe and visited this sight. We feel lucky to have been able to see it in all it's glory! So much history passed.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!

We went on our honeymoon and rode horses! It was awesome. This was 1979!

Great video - Got some Bonanza collectables online but never got to visit Incline Village - sad they had to tear down the Ponderosa Ranch House 🌄🌅🌲🌵🐴🐎

I worked for Bill Anderson at the ranch in early 70's. Bill Anderson and Lenoard Bowser built the ranch. They worked for bodies cascade in 60's. Traded developement and roads for the ranch property. Bowser took about 40 visits to Hollywood set to get the house perfect. Anderson had properties in Dayton Nevada where he had many buildings full of all the wagons and coaches used. Was a fun place to work. I built sets and general work on the existing buildings. I lived in Incline for nearly 30 yrs. The ranch was a great tourist attraction for all.

It’s a shame when an iconic building like this is destroyed linked to a show like Bonanza, yet preserve some building out of a horror film. Bonanza (like the Walton’s) represented a “family unit” that had its short disagreements, but ultimately the family dynamic was as solid as a rock. Some thing our society needs more of rather than our fractured families l.

Went there on my honeymoon. I was amazed at how small it was

I get sentimental..😢 It was a wonderful time to watch the 4 Cartwright-Guys on TV. 😊

I teared up hearing that they tore everything down 😳😔

I remember as a kid it was a treat to hear the beginning music and being able to watch the map burning. No im not a pyromaniac 😂😂. Much much simpler times

Thank you for sharing. Sad to see it's gone

Nice. Was always curious about this. Wish I had done done the tour! Either way, Incline Village is a really nice place to visit!

The Ponderosa Ranch, the fictional home of the Cartwright family from the TV show Bonanza, was relocated to Lamoille, Nevada. The ranch was originally located in Incline Village, Nevada, near Lake Tahoe.

We had a cabin at Meeks Bay and when I'd bring school chums to the lake, Mom would always take us to The Ponderosa so I've been there many times. Loved it and will never forget the memories of those times.

It was so sad to hear that the Ponderosa was demolished. I would have traveled half way across the globe to live there but I would do that in a jiffy. No question about it. So any multi-billionaires feels like investing in my future, shout out 😄

I am a retired saddle maker from Oregon and in 2006 a guy brought me 3 saddles from the Bonanza ranch to rebuild. It was a fun project

I visited the Bonanza in 1997 and it was so cool. I loved watching the show growing up and am so sad to hear that they tore down the house. I don't know why they would do that and why not keep it?

I walked through that slanted building on the property and I was nauseous the rest of the day.
