About this cabin rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bath, (Sleeps 6 adults MAXIMUM)We call it POND VIEW. It is a unique vacation place on 70 acres in the rolling hills of Spencer NY. It's a great place for 2-6 adults plus a few children. If you like nature and the outdoors, this is for you - very quiet, peaceful, at the end of a well-maintained 1/2 mile no-outlet road. The 3-bedroom 2-bath house is completely remodeled inside, with refinished oak flooring and woodwork harvested from Pond View's trees. There are oriental rugs, antique furnishings, and quilts throughout. The house is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, sheets, towels, etc. First floor has open floor plan; new kitchen includes breakfast bar made from a lightning-felled red oak from the top of the mountain. Large covered deck for eating, relaxing. House is surrounded by beautiful ponds (total 5, largest 1 acre), meadows and woods. House site is half-way up a mountain that rises to highest point in Tioga County (1600 feet). Over 2 miles of hiking trails. 3 ponds are stocked with bass - bring your fishing gear (catch and release). The grounds are frequently visited by wildlife (deer, turkeys, geese) and bird watching. Many attractions within easy drive: Finger Lakes wineries, state parks with waterfalls and hiking trails, Tioga Downs (harness racing, gaming), Corning Glass Museum, glider airplane rides in Elmira (soaring capital of eastern US), antique shops, etc. Spencer has a grocery store, gas station, bank, New Dollar General and most basics, along with a golf course/country club.

Pros: Too many to list: First, communication with the hosts was amazing. We needed a few changes to our trip and they were quick to respond. Our plane left late on the day of departure, and they let us stay till we needed to leave. Upon arrival access to property was easy and the hosts came soon after to go over a few things around the house to make our trip more comfortable. The house was very clean and well stocked with essentials: spices, starter coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, shampoo, conditioners, laundry detergent, dish soaps. We just needed to purchase our food and drinks. The views are amazing from all windows of the house, overlooking the ponds and mountains. We stayed in the summer, and the weather was quite hot, but the house was equipped with air conditioners in each room that kept the house very pleasant. If you like to fish, the hosts keep some of the ponds stocked with bass and bluegill and provide all the fishing gear you need. My husband and our son fished every morning and evening, and caught many fish, some quite large. We took a long hike on the trails on their property, that went up into the shaded mountain to an old cabin. We enjoyed the property on its own. But we did take many trips to some of the historic towns nearby, the Corning glass museum (highly recommend) , Finger lakes, Niagra Falls and Watkins Glen gorge (gorgeous).
Cons: you have to leave:( Highly recommend!!

We had an amazingly relaxing time and unplugged from the world. The property was gorgeous and the leaves were changing. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the trails and hanging outside.

Pond View is a beautiful property for relaxing, fishing and walking the trails. We loved being away from it all in the countryside as well as close enough to enjoy some day trips to Ithaca. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults, a 9 month old and 2 pets. It was completely stocked with all the essentials to maximize vacation time. The antiques, handmade quilts and charming decor were very interesting. The house is very well cared for, has updated kitchen and bathroom facilities and has a comfortable vacation set up. Communication with owner, Cheryl was responsive and pleasant throughout. Many great photos and memories!

This cabin comfortably housed our party of 8. July 28-Aug 4 2018. Our family consisted of 3 couples and two young men 18 and 22yo. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The well water has a filtration system on it. You would never know it was well water and we were never short on hot water. We worked with Sam in the booking stage and upon arrival we met Roger and Sherry who are wonderful folks intent on seeing that a good time is shared by all!.we fished and kayaked. We visited Watkins Glen and Lucifer Falls. Had very good pizza in Spencer. The Boat Yard in Ithaca was a great recommendation by Sherry! Rooster Fish brewing in Watkins Glenn has great beer and burgers and you have to try the pickled onion rings! We ate way too much! We feel like there is so much we missed only because of time! So the only solution is to come back! Thanks Roger, Sherry and Sam for sharing this little piece of heaven with our family!
