Retreat at Ticklenaked Pond ~WIFI & outdoor shower

If you are looking for a place to disconnect and unwind this is the perfect space for you! Enjoy your days kayaking, fishing and swimming on Ticklenaked pond. There are 6+ kayaks available for use (including life jackets), as well as fishing rods. If you would like to bring your boat, there is a boat ramp located next to the public beach area for easy access. (No wake is allowed - maximum speed on the pond is 5 mph).

Interested in sailing? We have a sunfish sailboat that can be rented daily for an additional fee (message for details.)

The house has beautiful views! Enjoy your mornings listening to the loons call, while sipping a cup of coffee from our brand new deck. Spend your days enjoying outdoor activities on our spacious lawn, and your evenings enjoying s’mores around the campfire!

The house comfortably sleeps 6:
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
Additional sleep space on lower level with 2 twin beds (located in common space).

We do have 1 AC unit upstairs which is installed in the dining room/kitchen area.

A Weber gas grill has been provided for your use, as well as a well stocked kitchen including: Microwave, Gas Range, Fridge, Keurig, cookware and grilling tools.

For entertainment, we also have numerous board games available for your enjoyment.

There is a brand new cedar outdoor shower available for use! Additionally we have 2 hanging hammock chairs located on the lower level (under the deck.) This is a perfect space to escape the sun and cuddle up with a good book!

**Please note that our house is not directly waterfront, you will need to access Ticklenaked pond from the public beach, a short walk away.

** Cellphone service is unpredictable. We have installed a cellphone booster, and have wifi available onsite. Please note that rural Vermont and New Hampshire have limited wifi options. Consolidated is the only provider for our area. My husband and I have worked remote from the house with no issues; that being said, we cannot guaranty internet speed or impact from weather related events! The house has a smart TV with free Pluto TV streaming, or login for your Netflix account (there is no Cable TV).

We are happy to accommodate longer term rentals (if interested) for extended vacations, or traveling doctors/nurses working for Cottage Hospital in Woodsville, NH (short 10 minute drive away.)

We welcome you to our Lake Lodge, and hope you enjoy the space as much as we do!
