About this property
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.
While the home feels wonderfully secluded, it’s also perfectly positioned for exploring the Finger Lakes and surrounding attractions. Guests enjoy easy access to nearby lakes, hiking trails, waterfalls, wineries, and charming towns — all while returning each evening to a peaceful, private setting.

Why they chose this property
We chose Springwater for its privacy, natural beauty, and sense of calm. Surrounded by open land, trees, and water, it offers a peaceful setting that feels both safe and welcoming, the kind of place where families can truly relax and slow down.
The area is quiet and scenic, with the rich colors of upstate New York in every season. Guests can enjoy simple pleasures like fishing in the backyard pond, sitting outside in the fresh air, and disconnecting from the busyness of everyday life. It’s a space designed for reconnection with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
At the same time, Springwater is conveniently close to many attractions, including nearby lakes, parks, hiking trails, and the Finger Lakes region, making it easy to explore while still returning to a peaceful, private retreat at the end of the day.
