The Pond Getaway

Escape the city to a Pinterest cottage with boho chic design aesthetics and stunning views of your own private pond surrounded by nature. Sleeping for 3, The Pond Getaway boasts a light and airy living space, a fully equipped kitchen, deck with BBQ grill, hand made custom furnishings, a private pond w/ dinghy boat, and dock you can fish from.

This instagram worthy cabin is just 50 Miles from NYC and 6 miles from Mountain Creek Ski Resort and Water Park. For the golf lovers, Crystal Springs golf resort is 3 miles away, and Ballyowen golf club is a mile.

The space:

The cozy Pond Getaway is located just outside of the tranquil hills and valleys of the Hamburg Mountain Ranges of North-New Jersey. Situated on a 1 acre lot, with a fantastic view of a private pond. Immerse yourself in the modern boho chic style and tribal Bali vibes in this unique, calming space. You'll be so relaxed you won't believe you're just an hour from New York City.

Take your Zoom calls inside the curated interior or the rear deck overlooking the pond. This remote working dream is brimming with inspiration and tranquility. Good energy, good vibes, love, and light.

As you enter the pond getaway you are greeted by natural landscaping looking out towards your very own private pond framed by pine, walnut, and oak trees that surround the property.

Our professional interior designer has placed an emphasis on blending the lines between the outdoors and interior, with many design elements taking a cue from the surrounding nature.

The bedroom is accessed from the main living area boasting hand crafted furnishings and luxury bedding. After your perfect night's sleep, you'll awaken to the sights and sounds of nature instead of traffic and sirens.

The bathroom has a full-size shower and a washer and dryer are available in the basement laundry room.

The rear deck is a wonderful place to unwind and catch the afternoon breezes. As the sun sets, spend time on the patio or by the fire pit, perfecting your s'mores crafting and relaxing with loved ones.

Take time to walk the wooded trails that start half a mile up the road and are home to deer, turkey, and many beautiful birds.

Whatever you choose to do with your time - relaxing, hiking or sightseeing at the many nearby attractions - rest assured, you will make many wonderful memories at The Pond Getaway.

Lovely Pond View
A lovely little home with a great private pond view. Comfortable bed, nice shower, good wyfi and a small kitchen that had everything we needed. My husband and I had a nice long weekend away. We did some walking with our little corgi dog in a couple of local parks and walked up the road to see the cute donkeys at the nearby rescue. We also found some fun local antique shops. All in all a good relaxing stay.

Quiet comfort, perfect getaway location
Beautiful, quiet setting, perfect getaway location! We stayed while traveling for work, and the Pond Getaway was exactly what we needed. It would be perfect for working remotely or for a romantic getaway as well. Exceptionally clean, the Pond Getaway had all the necessities and then some. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. We loved watching the birds and feeding the fish and turtles too. Excellent communication with Shane, the host. Definitely recommend the Pond Getaway and would 100% stay again.

Pond Retreat
I hesitated on this property due to lack of reviews. After contacting owner I felt more sure about booking and am glad I did. Owner thought of everything-new toothbrushes and paste, name brand soft TP and paper towels, s’mores makings, firewood laid in fire pit with fire starter logs, welcome bottle of champagne, so many more little things. The bed was almost as comfortable as mine at home. The shower was better. The best part was the completely private new deck over looking the pond. Red-wing blackbirds put on a show. Two deer stopped by to watch me watch them. Tree frogs quietly called after dark. I highly recommend this property for couples!

Absolutely adorable!
This little cottage was so enchanting! Beautifully decorated, perfect location, and well appointed. The bed was sooo comfortable, plus the window at the head of the bed allowed me to watch some amazing sunrises over the little pond out back. Shane was excellent; friendly, communicative and helpful! Definitely looking forward to booking there again!
