Stayed Oct 10, 2025We had a very comfortable stay at Ponder. Loved the setting on the pond and the view from the very large picture window was fabulous. We felt like we were at a home away from home. The host was very accommodating when we needed to book an extra night and I also appreciated being able to talk with him ahead of time about all the amenities. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated having a washing machine and dryer. Location is a short drive to the beaches and to Watch Hill. We would definitely book here again!

Stayed Sep 2, 2025We have returned to Ponder for a reason. The house could not be better situated, the view over the pond is spectacular, and it has, literally, all the comforts of home (with none of the headaches). The fact that our host is kind and accessible adds to the pleasure of our stay. We hope to return in 2026!

Stayed Jul 21, 2025Cozy home with good bones. Truly enjoyed watching the sunrise over the salt pond and all the morning wildlife activity. The birds were a pleasure to watch. The beach pass was a bonus and the beach gear, which is provided, was outstanding. Loved all the gadgets and domajiggies in the well stocked kitchen. The town of Westerly never disappoints. Great memories were made.
