Finger Lakes Pondside Retreat
Escape to your own private countryside retreat in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. Set on 26 peaceful acres surrounded by trees and open space, this serene ranch-style home offers rare privacy, two scenic on-site ponds, and effortless access to nearby lakes, parks, and outdoor attractions. One of the ponds is stocked for catch-and-release fishing, making it perfect for quiet mornings by the water or a relaxing afternoon outdoors.
The home is fully heated and air-conditioned and features high-speed Greenlight fiber internet throughout, making it easy to stay connected while you unwind. For peace of mind in any season, the property is also equipped with a backup generator, ensuring uninterrupted comfort even during power outages.
Inside, you’ll find four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The layout includes a primary suite with a queen bed and private bath, two additional queen bedrooms with bunk accommodations, and a tri-bunk room ideal for lighter sleepers or children — making this a flexible and comfortable space for families, couples, or small groups.
Gather in the cozy living room with a fireplace and television, prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or unwind in the bright sunroom, which offers two futons for additional sleeping space. Step outside onto the new deck overlooking the ponds and surrounding woods — a perfect spot for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or simply listening to the sounds of nature.
This property is also ideal for intimate celebrations. We welcome micro-weddings, anniversaries, and small, respectful gatherings, making it a beautiful and private setting for meaningful moments with your closest friends and family. Please reach out in advance so we can help ensure everything is arranged thoughtfully and in harmony with the property and surroundings. All events must be approved prior to booking.

Host are amazing - very responsive, helpful and willing to go extra mile to make our stay comfortable. House is well stocked with pots, pans, plates, cups and appliances (3! Coffee machines). With 4 bedrooms, there was more than enough room for everyone. Linens and towels were provided - which was a plus as we had a large family staying and bringing our own would have been a hustle. Washer and dryer are new and work perfectly.

Beautiful home , Host was very attentive throughout my stay. The only thing I would suggest is to provide guests with basic condiments. Property is as described, I can’t wait to return in the fall when I can actually explore the woods with my dog . Thanks again for allowing us to stay at your property

First the host is without a doubt the best host that my wife and I have ever encountered. They were very kind and accommodating and kept in constant contact during our stay. The host ensured that we had everything that needed or requested and showed how deeply they care for their customers. Their house was very cozy and welcoming. It was undergoing some minor construction yet it was still a very neat, organized, and overall beautiful house nestled in a very peaceful area surrounded by a few ponds and woods. There were plenty of places to stretch out and relax and copious amounts of room for our son to run around and play. We enjoyed every second of our stay at Whispers of Nature and we are looking forward to staying here again in the future.
