THE TRUE NORTH Presents… 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, it’s a hidden gem for all seasons.

Perfect For
Large families or group getaways wanting real nature immersion — feeding koi, soaking in the hot tub, gathering around the fire pit. Not a resort-style stay; a genuinely secluded, wooded property with water at its center.

The Home
4 bedrooms | Multi-level | Sleeps up to 12
  • Private man-made pond with koi fish, right on-site
  • River access amid peaceful natural surroundings
  • Outdoor hot tub and fire pit area
  • Wooded, private setting with unique artisan-well-powered water wheels
  • Multi-level layout (stairs required to move between floors)

⚠️ Safety Note
The pond is deep — please use caution when swimming, and life jackets are recommended for non-swimmers. Children and pets should always be supervised outdoors, and fishing is not permitted in the pond.

True North Touches
A bottle of Chateau Chantal Celebrate sparkling wine awaits at check-in, along with complimentary Iron House Gym access. VIP concierge services — private chefs, photographers, event planners, in-home massage, grocery delivery & fridge stocking — are available on request.

Scenic fall foliage in autumn, snowmobiling & ice fishing in winter — a true four-season getaway.

Good to Know
  • No smoking indoors
  • Pets: clean up after them, and don’t leave them unattended outdoors
  • Rinse off sand before entering the hot tub
  • Please respect nature and wildlife — no fishing in the pond
  • Locked closets are restricted areas

  • Please avoid running the washer, dishwasher, and showers simultaneously, and don’t overload the washer/dryer (well & septic system)
  • Turn off lights & AC when not in use
⏰ Check-In / Check-Out — 4:00 PM / 11:00 AM

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!
