The Pondhouse | Private Pond, Hot Tub, Nature Escape

Welcome to "The Pondhouse," a cozy multi-level 4-bedroom retreat tucked away in nature near Fife Lake. Surrounded by trees, water features, and peaceful scenery, this home offers a one-of-a-kind Up North experience.

From a private man-made pond filled with koi fish to river access and artisan water wheels, this property sleeps up to 12 and is perfect for large families or group getaways wanting real nature immersion. An outdoor hot tub and fire pit area round out the outdoor space.

Please note: the pond is deep, so caution is advised when swimming, and life jackets are recommended for non-swimmers. Children and pets should always be supervised outdoors, and fishing isn't permitted in the pond.

Every stay includes a bottle of Chateau Chantal sparkling wine, complimentary gym access, and VIP concierge services on request.

Fife Lake is less than 10 minutes away for swimming, boating, and fishing, with Traverse City a short drive further for wineries, beaches, and dining.

Whether you're soaking in the hot tub, feeding koi fish, or exploring nearby lakes and towns, The Pondhouse offers a peaceful escape unlike any other. We welcome you with open arms!

Daniel M.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The Good: Kitchen and grill were nice. The host was great to work with and responsive. Inside was clean and functional. The beds were very comfortable. The decor, especially the flooring, was fantastic. The location was as advertised. Out in the country a little but not too far from attractions. The Bad; There was a tear in the screen in the door coming in that let bugs in. The outside looked dated and some of the grass was overgrown near the hot tub. The water pressure to the upstairs bathroom was weak. The basement was very warm with the dehumidifier having to be constantly on. The value was lacking. For 5,000/week, I was expecting a lot more. Overall it was a good place to vacation and the people were very friendly to work with. IMHO, it is overpriced for what you get.
