Hometown Happy Hour [Memorial] Trip

Would recommend to anyone. Our family stayed here in 2014. Upgrades on furniture since then we're great. Beds were all comfort, which is huge for us since we used them all. Three generations of us enjoyed the property, house and that fantastic view. What was our family farm (1940’s) could be seen across the valley making it extra special. Thank you to our awesome hosts. Your place allowed us to gather together for a tough weekend.

Best VRBO rental

We love staying here. I think this was our third stay and we will be back. Our 3 grandsons love the pond and the pedal boat was an added bonus for us. We never left the property except to bring the boys home (5 minutes away, another bonus for us). So peaceful with room to explore inside and out. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beautiful Setting

We celebrated milestone birthdays with family. The property accommodates a large group very well. The pond provided a gorgeous backdrop for photography. We only had a small group staying there. It was very clean. Sharing of bathrooms could be a challenge for a larger group.

Lifelong Friends

Our 4th year at this wonderful house has been a time of friendship, laughter and music. We will keep coming back as long as we possibly can. Thanks Don for getting back to us on the code dilemma. It will provide another laugh filled story to be told over and over for years to come!

Wonderful Large Family Gathering

This wonderful property offered sufficient space, furniture and seating areas to allow our large blended family to gather for our Christmas holiday. Well appointed, sufficiently stocked and everything so well=labeled made it easy to just start enjoying each other's company. Don and Karen were great with their flexibility, responsiveness and generosity. The central location allowed some family members to stay at the house with the family members nearby being able to come for a few hours during the day. With our large family it is wonderful that we could get everyone in one place. We had such a nice time we decided to stay one more day and Don and Karen made that easy too. We hope to be able to enjoy this house and property again. Thanks for a wonderful holiday gathering spot!

Good place just need some touch ups on broken things

Our experience was great there was alot of room for the kids and our dogs to play. We did have a problem with putting all our food in the fridge due to the shelves being broken and duck taped together the bottom didn't have any of the draws so we couldn't put anything on the bottom shelf. Some of the door handles where loose and had to be tightened. I would rent this house again because it's in a great location and alot of room

Breath Taking.

Amazing place. A true getaway. Anyone who is inundated with the daily hustle and bustle this is the place to relax. Not a party place! A place to relax, family get together. This is a lovely home with lovely owners who chose to share their home with people who will appreciate it. Sadly some come and disrespect their home which is just sad because this place is truly magical. The pictures don't do justice. Wonderful for small kids to explore, fish, Chase frogs and salamanders.. Space to run and play. Wish there were lawn chairs to lay and tan on-- but one can always lay a blanket out. The home is stocked with everything you will need. We will definitely return. Don and Karen lovely people who are attentive and gracious. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Not Bad, but Could Use Improvements

My group of two families with small children spent our New Year vacation at the Bainbridge house. There were some aspects of the property that could use improvement. Almost all of the furniture and carpeting in the main areas of the house was very worn and in need of replacement. Communication at times was poor. Don and Karen responded to some messages I sent, but not others. Often a follow-up message would have to be sent days later to prompt a response. Don was, however, prompt at answering the phone and returning calls. Finally, we initially booked the property with the expectation of bringing a cat. Our cat died some weeks before we traveled to the property, and I asked Don if he would mind refunding the Pet Fee. I never received a response to that message. Overall, we had a nice stay at the property and hope this feedback is useful in improving the experience for future guests.

Family Visit

Beautiful home, surrounded by beautiful green rolling hills. Owners reached out when I enquired about wheelchair access. Changed a door to ensure bathroom access. Home was large enough for my family to have supper every night we were there together. I was there visiting my parents from Georgia. The amenities were all we expected. Grandson borrowed a fishing rod and caught a few small bass and he had a blast! Every morning we were greeted by deer and Turkey. There were even reports of bear in the neighborhood. We spent a day at East Sidney Dam boating, tubing and swimming. My only complaint is I could not stay longer! Highly recommend

Love this house!

This was our 2nd stay and we’ll looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, the guests staying there right before us broke and sunk the paddle boat but we enjoyed the pond immensely.

Family Gathering

This property was beautifully scenic and relaxing while providing outdoor space for games, as long as one compensated for the incline, which for us, made it more fun! We sang around the campfire and made s'mores. Ping pong tournaments were so much fun! Tad poles and frogs in the pond were appreciated especially by the younger children.

Fun and Calm stay

Perfect location to relax, enjoy nature and clean air and cuddle with your love ones. Property was very clean, everything was label so it was easy to find items and re locate them. even though we got an unplan rainy day kids found a lot of games to play and entertain themselves.

Enjoyable holiday mountain stay.

We came to celebrate Christmas with our grandsons who moved to Bainbridge in 2019. The house was beautifully decorated and warm and welcoming. Booking a summer weekend stay soon.

Quiet getaway, Great for families

My family and I stayed here for several days while attending my sisters wedding. It had previously been scheduled the year before, but Covid…! The owners were incredibly accommodating and right our communication, allowing us to change our stay to this year. Our only wish is that it had one more bathroom! The property itself was beautiful and private. We had a lot of fun on the paddleboat! Great surprise addition.

Idyllic Views & Location

The only thing that could have improved our stay at 3 Ponds Retreat was more time there. The amenities inside and out are extensive. Housekeepers do an amazing job maintaining the house between visitors. It was hard to believe that anyone had stayed in the house all season, let alone just hours before we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
