Lonesome Pond Lodge - Ideal Lakeside Retreat

Perfectly situated on Kiwassa Lake, Lonesome Pond Lodge is a newly renovated lakeside cottage, just minutes away from the best of the Adirondacks. This 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom, two-story lakeside cottage with gas fireplace is seamlessly connected to the outdoors with a large balcony on the second floor, a screened-in porch off the first floor family room, a dock and boathouse, and a firepit. Enjoy our canoe, kayak, paddleboard, and fishing gear.

Nestled in the woods with stunning mountain and lake views, our two-story house sits at the perfect spot on Kiwassa Lake. Downstairs is a family room with a tv, board games, books, and puzzles, three bedrooms (two twin bedrooms and one queen), a full bathroom with a bathtub, and a screened-in porch with a sitting area and a daybed with two twin mattresses if you'd like to try sleeping on the porch. There is also a washer/dryer.

On the second floor is a light-filled south facing living room and dining room opening up to a large deck with two seating areas and a grill. Also on this level is the kitchen and the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom (with a shower, not a bathtub).

Lakeside, you will find Adirondack chairs surrounding a large firepit, a dock and a boathouse stocked with a canoe, 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and loads of lifejackets. Bring your own boat, or rent one in town. In addition to the private boat house, there's a (shared) boat launch nearby.

Kiwassa is part of the 24 mile chain of lakes that includes Lower and Middle Saranac Lake, Lake Oseetah, and Lake Flower. Explore in a canoe or kayak or swim off of our private dock. The lake shore at our house is sandy and the water is crystal clear (no algae, weeds, lillies, rocks etc).

We recently installed a gas fireplace! There's also a natural stone firepit next to the lake. We provide a big pile of wood for your convenience.

Up to two dogs are welcome with a $100 additional fee.

Recently upgraded 4G cell service is now excellent, and our WiFi is blazing fast.

Please ensure that all members of your group are made aware of our house rules. We expect you to return the property to us in the same condition in which you received it, and let us know if anything breaks or is not working so we can have it fixed for the next guests. You will find our full checkout procedures printed in our guest guide and we are always available for questions.
