Lonesome Pond Lodge - Retraite idéale au bord du lac
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.

Great location, peaceful and relaxing trip with the family. Lake was frozen enough to skate on after shoveling a rink and ice fishing was great. Close to town and easy drive to surrounding towns including Lake Placid and Tupper Lake. House was clean and well equipped with everything we needed.

Great location - fantastic views - comfortable house

Wonderful Spot to watch an Eclipse
The house was fantastic - accommodations were comfortable and spacious. The view of the lake is beautiful. We were able to watch the Eclipse of 2024 in a beautiful setting. We would love to return for a trip when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the kayak, stand up paddle boards etc.

Lonesome Pond
This property is everything you want for a family vacation! The house is very clean and comfortable. The view of the lake from the screened in porch and the second floor balcony is fantastic! My kids and grandkids took advantage of the canoe, kayak and paddle board. The indoor air hockey game came in handy on the rainy day. The fire pit was a great place for the family to gather. We plan on staying there again.

Amazing hospitality!
The home was spotless and was just as it was shown and described. The only regret is that it rained most of the time we were there and we could not use the fire pit. We did take in the wonderful view from the upstairs. There is so much to see and do, then, coming home to a private, quiet sanctuary was the best! Thanks so much to Leo, who was interested and responsive from beginning to end!

Feels Remote but only 5 minutes to town
Just delightful. Extended family gathering ages 25-80. The beautiful setting and view from the upper deck kept the less mobile happy at the house while others hiked, paddled, and cycled. Thoughtfully equipped and supplied house. Lovely back yard with a fire pit. Screened-in back porch on lower level is the perfect place to escape with a book while others gather in the main space upstairs. (Nice view from downstairs too.) We were 8 people for half the week and did not feel crowded. (Shared the bathroom off the upstairs master bath. ) Would definitely return.

May Stay
Property is gorgeous. Outdoor setup and lake are gorgeous. Boathouse had everything. Bedrooms were not as clean as expected. Sheets didn’t seem to have been washed and smelled like people. The bedrooms were dusty and there were some dead insects on the floor when we arrived, but the bathrooms were very clean so the cleanliness was not consistent throughout. There was animal hair in some of the blankets which some people might be okay with but as someone with allergies, I would prefer that there not be. The outdoor/daybed furniture on the screened in porch was dirty so we didn’t sit on it. Ultimately, if it were cleaner, it would’ve been perfect.

Fourth of July weekend
This was a nice location (close to lake placid town) with a few minor problems. There was construction going on next door which was not disclosed prior to renting the property. The construction was unfortunately very disruptive to our stay. The lake is great and would have been very peaceful but there was loud banging and hammers next door. I would have liked to be given a break in some ways financially due to the undisclosed construction. I informed the owner and he said “that sucks.” So overall- I’d give this a 3.5/5 stars. There were also rusty nails sticking out of the benches outside. We have two little children and this was definitely unsafe. The location was great and lake was beautiful but a little overpriced for what we were dealing with. In my opinion disruptive construction (building a huge house next door) should be disclosed and if not you should be compensated accordingly for the inconvenience (even if it’s a small kickback).

A lovely house in a great location
We are a family group of 5 ( 1 dog) who get together every year in late May just to be together. We cook and walk and play games and laugh and this was the place to do all of that. The 4 bedrooms were comfortable and attractive. The shared bath on the first floor was adequate, and the en suite bath in the primary bedroom was pretty amazing; the shower is gorgeous! There is a nice game room and a porch on the ground level looking out on the lake, but we spent most of our time on the upper level where the well-equipped kitchen and living/dining area was. The views of the lake from both floors were spectacular.The lake access is perfect. It was too cold in late May to even consider swimming, but there were kayakers and boaters out when the weather was good. The lake looked clean, with a sandy bottom.The rooms all had individual controls for the electric baseboard heat, which suited us fine. Everyone got what she wanted. Both Lake Placid and Saranac Lake are a reasonable drive, and we spent time in both towns, just doing touristy things. We ate one night at the River Trail Beerworks in Saranac Lake. It's much more than a brewery, and the food is excellent. This was a great experience. Leo (the host) is very responsive to email queries, and, while we did our best to leave the premises neat and tidy, we were not required to clean. That's big!

Wonderful lake front rental in the Sara/Placid area. Kiwassa Lake is perfect for kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding or boating. Quiet neighborhood close to town. So many hiking options close by or take a short drive over to Lake Placid. Wish we could have stayed all summer!

Lonesome Pond Lodge…Best little gem on Kiwassa Lake
We can’t say enough good things about LPL.. Our chosen family of four best friends and our 3 sons combined made for a great relaxing, adventurous, fun filled time… our boys were on the paddle boards and kayaks all day, every day. Fishing, swimming and having a campfire almost every night.. the house and view were spectacular. What was advertised did not disappoint. Spacious enough for us to have time alone and come together when we wanted to. We were able to explore Saranac Lake and Whiteface Mountain in a lake Placid was a must see! All kinds of hiking options are close by if you want to take advantage..which we did. Would totally recommend LPL!

Relaxing Adirondack Experience
After visiting with family in central New York, we wanted to take our daughter and son-in-law to the Adirondacks for some relaxation and to experience the area where her dad had many fond childhood memories. Paddling on the lake (we loved using the canoe, kayaks, and paddleboard during our stay!) and listening to the loons was perfect. The house itself is beautifully decorated and nicely appointed.

Spring break getaway
The property is just as it’s described. It’s tucked away on a beautiful, peaceful lake with a great view of the mountains. The village of Saranac Lake is a quick 5 minute drive where you can park the car and walk to numerous shops and restaurants - we especially liked Bitters and Bones. Lake Placid is about a 20 minute drive also with lots of fun shops and restaurants and, of course, lots of Olympic venues to explore. After exploring each afternoon, it was nice to come back to the house and enjoy the view. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the air hockey table - there was a daily tournament. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and an Aldi is close by if you want to pick up a few things for a meal “at home”. We’d love to come back in warmer weather so we could use all the water “toys” and enjoy some s’mores around the fire pit.

Amazing winter retreat
We loved our stay at this house. There were gorgeous views of the mountain from the living room and the afternoon sun felt so good shining through the windows. We enjoyed cross country skiing and ice fishing right from the house. Looking forward to coming back again some day.
