We had a wonderful stay at Pondside Hideaway! The cabin was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful setting, surrounded by woods and overlooking the pond, was exactly what we were looking for. We are birders and there were so many to see and hear. We especially enjoyed sitting by the fire, watching the wildlife, listening to the peepers and bullfrog, and soaking in the quiet beauty of nature. Our dog loved it too! He was so relaxed. The hosts were welcoming, communicative, and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. It was the perfect balance of privacy and comfort, while still being conveniently close to town. We left feeling refreshed and would gladly stay here again.

Cozy and quiet. Tucked into the woods with a pond full of singing frogs. Cabin was clean and well equipped with all we needed for a long weekend. Bed was comfortable.We enjoyed nearby Corning Glass Museum and Letchworth State Park.wish the windows had screens so we could have had them open since the weather was cool enough.

This is a beautiful peaceful cabin in the woods. My husband is from this area and we came up for his dear mom's funeral. We have a sweet dog so we needed somewhere that would allow for our fur-family. This was a comforting calming place to hang our hats and leash. Thank you to the owners.

Very peaceful, quiet, and private place to stay. The cabin was clean, stocked with towels, bedding, TP, and all kitchen utensils/pots and pans. Would love to stay here again, and added it to our favorite places. 2nd time staying with this host, (1st time was a different property) and would not hesitate to stay with them again. We had a hiccup or 2 with the TV/wifi (not the hosts fault, it was the provider) and the host was on top of it, doing their best to get it resolved for us right away. Loved the fire pit, the outdoor space, including very comfortable table and chairs. There were not a lot of bugs, so even when we were outside after dark, we did not get bit by mosquitos. The local residents were very friendly, waving if they passed us when walking in the morning (and almost NO traffic while doing so). Cannot wait to stay here again
