Lonesome Pond Lodge - Ideal Lakeside Retreat
About this house rental
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 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. Currently renovating Spring 2021, this is our first season as owners. We're renovating this Spring so we'll soon have more pictures. Our two-story house sits at the perfect spot on Kiwassa Lake. Downstairs is a family room, three bedrooms (two twins; two twins; and a 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. On the second floor is a light-filled south facing living room and dining room opening up to a large deck. Also on this level is the kitchen and the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom (with a shower, not a bathtub). Lakeside, you'll find Adirondack chairs surrounding a large firepit, a dock and boathouse, stocked with fishing gear, life vests, a kayak, canoe, and paddleboard. Bring your own boat, or rent one in town. In addition to the private boat house, there's a (shared) boat launch nearby.

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.

We loved our stay here. There was plenty of room and a variety of things for all of us to do. Gorgeous views and very well stocked with everything we could have needed. The kids were asking to come back for a longer stay before we even left.

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.

We stayed for a week over Thanksgiving and enjoyed it very much. The house is very comfortable. The neighborhood is not isolated but very quiet. Short trip into Saranac Lake. The house had everything needed to cook simple meals to Thanksgiving dinner.

Beautiful home with the best view on the lake. 5 stars across the board!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Peaceful lake getaway
The house and grounds were just as we hoped. The lake is quite peaceful in September, and we really enjoyed the dark skies and the loon calls. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We are already talking about planning our next visit!

Such a jewel!
Our group had never before been to the Adirondacks region, and this place was PERFECTION! Being right on the lake was such a gift, and we also ended up renting a boat to explore the neighboring lakes (Oseetah and the Saranac lake chains). Plus we used the kayaks, paddle boards, and swim floaties with much delight. We also had a couple of fires and made smores.
the house itself also met all of our needs--it was extra handy to have a dishwasher given we were a group of six. everyone was very comfortable in the bedrooms and the common areas were lovely. we would definitely stay again!
