Cozy Pondside Retreat - near Oneonta & Cooperstown
Baseball season is NOW and NOW is the time to book your experience with us. Come and view the Catskills in the BEST time of the year.
Our Pondside Retreat is a 300 square foot retreat situated along side our 3/4 acre pond. This cabin is a beautiful mix of upscale camping with amenities and a great hotel room with views to remember. The cabin will easily sleep up to four people. There is a double bed and a pull out couch. This would be the ideal getaway for a couple or a couple with children.
If your group needs a bit more space, we also offer a 10'x12' Glamping Tent that can hold two adults and is complete with electricity and most of the same amenities offered at the Pondside Retreat. It is only 100 yards away. Trailside Camp - https://www.vrbo.com/4631177?dateless=true
Before Arrival - Please let us know if you would like the pull out couch made up as the second double bed for you. If needed, it will make your stay more enjoyable and it is no bother for us.
As you look out the windows or lay in bed looking out the french doors, you will gaze upon the edge of our pond that has an abundance of bass, sunfish, frogs and other aquatic life. It is almost a guarantee that you will see our resident cottontail rabbits that reside in the spruce trees behind the cabin.
Inside the cabin is a kitchenette with all of your basic amenities including a double hotplate, cooking utensils, sink with hot and cold running water. The cabin also offers heat and air conditioning, ceiling fan, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, French press (with coffee, creamer, and sugar), and hair dryer. On the outside of the retreat there is the enclosed shower house with hot and cold water. The toilet (Composting) is also outside in its own private enclosed structure.
Outside Activities - You have access to our full 120 acres via our extensive trail system. The forest is a mix of mature hardwoods, conifers and open fields. You have the opportunity to see and interact with whitetail deer, wild turkey and possible see our resident owls. You can bring your fishing poles and catch your dinner in the pond (limit of two bass per stay) that you can cook on the supplied charcoal grill.

I enjoyed the simplicity and comfort of the cabin. The access to the pond and trails in the woods was impressive and inviting. I was in awe with the star filled night sky.

Our son played in the Cooperstown tournament, so my wife and I stayed here. It was a perfect getaway (about 20 min from Cooperstown village). Beautiful property with pond, diving board (I wish I used), and little cabin was perfect for us. Had everything we needed for the week. Very comfortable space with AC and WIFI. Hosts were very nice.
From the Moment we arrived, Todd and his wife made us feel so welcome and went over all the details of the Beautiful bungalow! From the unbelievable scenery, beautiful pond and the immaculate grounds. , my sons and I enjoyed this retreat and stay so much. The accommodations in the room were excellent, delicious coffee, WiFi and comfy beds, the decor was also wonderful! I highly recommend this Beautiful cozy spot for any getaway! Thanks again Todd!
Todd was so welcoming and gave my brother and I a little tour when we arrived. He was so great and kind, and even gave us some recommendations for some local things. We were in town to go to a music festival at the Brewery Ommegang which was only a 30min drive from this property. It was absolutely perfect. I would recommend this VRBO to any of my family or friends. -Khristina (TX)
We stayed for a short weekend trip in the autumn and we had a great time. The place was clean, cozy, and comfortable. We really enjoyed the hospitality of the owners and the beautiful views that this property had to offer. Definitely a 5 star experience!
Beautiful place on the side of a mountain with a little pond to enjoy. We had the opportunity to explore both Delaware county and Otsego County. Well worth the stay!
This was our first Vrbo experience and it was absolutely perfect! The property owner met us as we arrived in pouring down rain to be sure we were comfortable and settled. The space was cozy and had everything we needed, from a functional kitchen space to air conditioning. This was glamming at its finest. The property was stunning if you appreciate rolling hills and country living.
