Bonanza Ponderosa Tour: Main Floor and Upstairs [CG Tour]

[@peggymartin7681]

I had the good fortune to tour this house in 1973. It was wonderful. The original horses were still stabled there. Being a horse lover and ridden all my life I was in love with Little Joe’s paint horse named Cochise. Thanks for the ride down memory lane once more.

Glad you enjoyed the tour. 😊

I love Bonanza so much since I was chilhood. Now since 40 years ago by now, I can watch Bonanza on youtube with so completed episodes. Thank you for making this house touring of Bonanza. I missed Ben, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe.

As a little girl, Bonanza was one of my favourite tv shows. My favourite horse was "Little Joe's" because I loved Pinto Horses especially black and white. Thank-you for showing me the Ponderosa Homestead. 💖💖💖

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I'm glad you enjoyed this tour. 😊

[@rogerhuffmanjr.7695]

As a kid I thought these shows were boring but as I got older I realized what shows like Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie were all about: timeless, wholesome, family values. That was the formula for practically every show. There wasn't a lot of controversial politics involved, they just tried to do what was right, and fair, and honest, and just. I think that's why modern versions like Blue Bloods are so successful. 😊

To me, the Ponderosa perfectly balances the rustic and the refined. Who wouldn't want to live in such a place?

I'd gladly move in. Just need a bathroom [nix the outhouse] and possibly modern appliances. But, what a great home!

In June 1991, I traveled from WV to NV to see the Ponderosa, my life long dream. Arriving on June 30th before the tours of the house actually began, the tour guides learning that I came all the way from WV, allowed me to go in and look around. The lights were off, but it was the greatest time of my life. The next afternoon, July 1st, I returned, and after the tour, I was standing in the house talking with other tourists, when a female tour guide walked in and announced that Michael Landon had just died in CA. After watching the series from a boy in 1959, I would never believed that I would be standing in the Cartwright house when Little Joe passed away. Life is strange. Thanks Marina, I really enjoyed your video.

I love the detail you put onto these episodes. The Ponderosa was my favorite western home. This is the first time I have ever viewed the kitchen.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you. One of my favorite parts of making these tours is doing the research to get the details right. No matter how well I think I know a home, there are always surprises.

[@ira1ish]

Another great house for you to examine is the house from Big Valley. The staircase is the most interesting aspect of the house in relation to the fact that it is a TV house. The staircase appears frequently (almost weekly) in "Perry Mason". It is also the identical staircase used in "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" for Gull Cottage. The staircase and landing is immediately identifiable because actors had to mount the stairs, turn left and descend two or three stairs from the landing to get to the bedrooms. This can be seen most readily in "Ghost...", but can also be seen in "Big Valley" and "Perry Mason". Still another great place for you to visit is Collinwood from "Dark Shadows".

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thanks for the details about that staircase. I plan on doing Big Valley someday. Also, I will definitely be doing Dark Shadows. 🦇

I have never watched this series, but I do love the old western style. With the warm wood and plaster look, with lots of great wooden furniture, and quaint curtain and rugs that look homemade. Very cozy! Unlike todays modern, sleek minimalist trend, not that I think its bad, but I prefer cozy :)

There is something so homey about these styles of houses. 🥰

I love and watch Bonanza all the time when it was 1st on TV....I still watch reruns of it now. Our family went to the Ponderosa Ranch @ Lake Tahoe in the early 90s.

Adriene Denise, I too look forward to the Ingalls cabin, for I love either small cozy homes, spacious single level vast ranch homes, like one that my late-aunt and uncle(my late-stepmom's side of the family) owned. I loved going to their house for visits, especially in the summer ☀️ time because they had a swimming pool w/an angled slide. Ohh, and not to mention, if I desired steps, a compact, split-level or an A-frame.

The place I live in now and for the last thirty years has been heavily influenced by shows like Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Rifle Man.... In my place I have a real wood burning fire place, a log bed complete with night stand and chester drawers, deer antler light on the ceiling, my walk in closet is completely paneled with cedar all walls and the ceiling, wood floors, I plastered all my walls to resemble the walls of the Ponderosa, made my own window frames, a big round and heavy wood dinning table, kerosene lamps around the place, big heavy end tables on either side of the couch..... I just love coming home to my home.

Like you, I also like westerns! Since early childhood, I've daydreamed while hearing the TV shows' theme music, and I especially love the theme song for the movie, "The Big Country". Music like that, played by large orchestra, brings to mind the magnificent wide open spaces of "The Old West". Mom and I loved Bonanza. Mom told me a couple of times she always wanted to live in a house like the Ponderosa. She especially loved the big stone fireplace. Thanks for giving the tour and explaining how sometimes set design isn't accurate with the house layout.

I had the chance of being at the Ponderosa Ranch up around Lake Tahoe, Nevada. After the tour was over inside the house, the tour lady let us or should I say let me take pictures of me standing up on the giant fireplace, I'm 6'1" and it was higher than me, huge. The coffee table was huge as well, the blue chair I sat in felt like I could still feel the actors with me. Ben Cartwrights desk was awesome, I stood next to that and the stairway to the second floor, at the very top, was the end, had a door there which opens up to outside without a stairway down, lol.

Thanks, very interesting! I also love westerns and also get distracted by set designs , too and costumes since I studied interior design but was mostly a professional NYC fashion illustrator now retired. I'm not surprised by the ruggedness of the set design which reflects the ruggedness of the wild West along with the mostly male cast in contrast to the lace table cloth and delicate tea cups. The set also reflected the success of Ben's cattle ranching business as well. I love those big built in china hutches which remind me of the two honey colored pine built in china hutches I have in my dining and kitchen area with blue and white dishes. I noticed the set designers switch from blue and white dishes to brown or deep rose and white print dishes there as well! "Home is where the heart is"!

Hello and thank you for making us revisit the iconic Ponderosa ranch home from Bonanza! I was waiting for this video and I'm so happy that I'm seeing it. I'm also a sucker for good old western shows. Laramie, The Rifleman, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train & so on. I would love to see the homes of Dylan McKay, Jess Harper & Slim Sherman revisited as well. Bravo!! 👏👍🏻🙏🏼

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thanks for the suggestions.

Fantastic job as always! I loved watching Westerns with my dad when I was young. Bonanza and Big Valley were 2 of my favorite series later on. (In reruns of course). Looking forward to the Little House tour too!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Glad you liked this one.

Love your videos. Jim Brazzell from Ohio. I would like to see the Big valley home. or The Barclays. I’ve always dreamed of building a house like that.

[@Doug72]

Wonderful tour as always. Keeping on the western theme, may I suggest the train "Wanderer" from "The Wild Wild West" It was home to Jim and Artie when they were on assignments

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I remember it well! That would be a fun one to do.

[@annemorgan3894]

I haven't read all the comments on this so forgive me if this has been mentioned already. KZbinr Daze with Jordan the Lion visited Lorne Greene's home The Ponderosa II and took a tour. It is worth a watch. Love your videos, Marina! Fantastic.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you. I'm glad you like the tours. I watched that video. It made me want to go visit it. I know it's privately owned, but it sure would be fun.

Hello how are you doing today and how is your day going today?

[@JulieS261]

The door to the kitchen from the outside did eventually end up where you put it. The one thing that still confuses everybody is the upstairs layout - it changed so many times especially the number of bedrooms. To support at least four bedrooms upstairs (and the size of them), the main floor have had to been much larger. It has been speculated that there was at least one other room behind the wall (on the other side of the fireplace). In some later years episodes, there is a narrow hallway near the stairs leading to the outside. Also, some later episodes there was a back entrance to the house that wasn't shown but referenced.

Marina these just keep getting better, i always loved this show and our family watched it together when i was a little kid, my dad was born back in the '30s and loved the country life, he would have been right at home in a place like this, dad always liked this house , keep up the wonderful work Marina , Thanks!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you!

[@pamferrell5231]

Love it. Thank you. I always wanted to live in that house.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

It's amazing. What I wouldn't give to have a home like that up in the mountains as a vacation home.

[@ConnieCC58]

Knocked it out of the ballpark as usual! Love your videos. Have you ever considered doing Lucy & Ricky’s country home in Connecticut? Loved that home so much! Thank you Marina.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Yes. I will definitely be doing that home. I loved it.

[@dgf6275]

Can't wait to settle down to watch

Bonanza was the first western I ever really watched and it ignited a love for all things western! This was fascinating. Thank you! As a side note, I would LOVE for you to do the Collins' and the "old house" from Dark Shadows!

[@davidpembleton8428]

Marina another great video. Your details that bring out are the best of how they built the sets and decorated each room with great details. The research that you do bring honor to each an every show and movie you bring to your channel. Thank you for answering my email. I have another TV show that would be great to see. The TV show Reba. Thank you for your time in doing what you do here on KZbin. And thank you for reading my comment.

Hi Marina, you never cease to amaze me.. I always wondered about a full tour of this home.. it is one of my favorite TV homes.. thank you again . to answer your question about whether we can survive living life during the late 1800s.. I look at this way if I was born it would be the only life we knew then not knowing what modern life was like... but to travel back into time to the late 1880s I often wonder how we would live without the modern conveniences like television, radios and as well modern cooking appliances like stoves and ovens and without a refrigerator? no cold milk on your breakfast cereals.. or even worse the thought of living without air conditioning.. would we be able to deal with extreme of a 105 degrees? or surviving the winters with the heat of only the fire places or pot belly wood stove? and last imagine eating what you grew as there were no markets to shop at.. even bread had to be made you had butter but no mayo or other sandwich condiments not even mustard if there is any? think of meals ... be like the same meat and potatoes and vegetables. yet life back then does indeed draws an attraction to it. It was a simple time to live in. I can't wait to see the Little House on the Prairie house I hope you do all 4.. Pepin, Kansas, Minnesota and De Smet, SD homes.. ... okay wishful thinking .. whatever you choose would be fine by me.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I love your insights. It's true. It would be the only life we know. I grew up without internet and of course didn't feel deprived because it didn't exist yet. Makes you wonder what future people will think they couldn't live without that doesn't exist yet.

[@spockboy]

I LOVE your channel. Nobody does this! Except perhaps Trekkies doing the bridge of the Enterprise ; ) Would LOVE a video on the Sanford and Son home. All the junk would present a great challenge for you. : )

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I definitely plan on doing that home. And that is my thought too - all of the junk will be a challenge for my computer. I picture smoke coming out of it by the end. 😉

[@spockboy]

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Looking forward to it. : ) One of my hobbies is upgrading videos. Co-incidentally, here is a sample: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3ewZ4lmlKp5hJY&ab_channel=SpockBoy

We really love all your videos you do an amazing job! We would love to see the Partridge family, Family Ties, Golden girls, the Addams family, and Murder She Wrote houses. I think all these houses have such interesting floorplans and you could do an amazing job with them thank you.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thanks for the suggestions.

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

Fantastic tour! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I can still hear that theme song. I am going to Google this but I always remember the episode where Hoss finds the Leprechauns. I want to say that it was a Saint Patricks Day episode. Of all the old TV shows I never see this in reruns anywhere. Thank you for sharing all your hard work. ❤

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Yes! I read about that episode while making this. They were thinking outside of the norm with that one. I can see why you remember it. I believe I was able to find that episode on KZbin. I know I watched clips after I read about it.

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane lol. I found it as well.

[@suegermaine5730]

You can watch all 431 episodes on You Tube. During the first Covid Lock down I watched every episode. I had not seen this show since the 1960s so it was very nostalgic for me as I loved the show. So much a part of my childhood, although as I grew older I started to dislike westerns. I had so many favourites. Hoss and the Leprechauns; The Hayburner, Joe Cartwright Detective, Ponderosa Matador, plus so many more. I didn’t like it after Dan Blocker died as I feel he made the show. I never had a brother but I sure would have loved someone like Hoss, unfortunately Dan Blocker did have a filthy mouth especially about women Which would not be allowed in todays climate! I would love to go back in time and be on the set and watch them make the show, that would be so great!

[@karenbarker6832]

I’d love to live in that environment !!!

[@inwalters]

Another outstanding episode. Still hope you'll do some more movie homes. For a western, how about the house from "Giant" or the cabin from "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" .

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Great choices! Love both of those homes and movies.

[@caroltanzi29]

Marina: I thought you did a super job with this video. I loved Bonanza! I never really thought about the bathrooms. I don’t remember ever seeing them. Funny! Carol from California

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I could have put an outhouse in the back and shown them through the window. 🚽"😄" I checked to see when bathrooms existed in homes and it was a possibility. But, then I noticed that each bedroom had an old fashioned wash stand in it, so I knew they didn't have any indoor bathrooms.
