Penny Pond is a perfect space for one or two couples or a family of up to 7 guests. The main cottage is a cozy lake-side retreat for 2 people or a small family. It has all the conveniences of a home with one bedroom, bath, sleeper sofa, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, living, dining, and a work desk. For larger groups, there is a newly built handcrafted cabin within 50 feet of the main cottage. It is equipped with a queen bed in a sleeping loft and a twin bed on the main floor. This is the second sleeping space, referred to as 'second bedroom' in the photos. It has a sleeping loft accessible by ship's ladder, with a queen bed. The cabin's main floor has a twin-sized sleeper sofa and an extra-long twin bed. There is also a kitchenette in the cabin with running cold water and a small dining area. Make your morning coffee and enjoy it on the cabin deck observing the ducks on Penny Pond. The cabin is heated by a wood stove. There is no bathroom, but there is a clean outhouse up a short path. Both the main cottage and the cabin provide charm and adventure. It’s a very peaceful and private setting that you’ll have all to yourselves. Whether you’re swimming in the lake, floating on inner tubes, kayaking, or birdwatching, at Penny Pond your family can both play and relax after a day’s activities. Both Homer & Anchor Point are within a 15-minute drive. It’s fun to cook your meals in the main cottage and share them picnic-style in the charming lake hut. (The hut, referred to as the ‘bug house’ is a mosquito-free zone). Situated right next to the lake, the cozy ‘bug house’ is warmed by the summer sun and on chilly evenings, a wood stove. Inside is a table and seating for the whole group- ideal for games, craft projects, or catching up on your reading. At the end of the day, the campfire is a fun place to gather for stories, s’mores, or winding down with a bottle of wine. Here, you are completely surrounded by a tranquil lake setting. Firewood is provided. Several other buildings occupy the property, including a small lake hut (we call the bug house) at the pond for use in the summer and Wally's woodshop. Carol and Wally's home is on an adjacent lot, and they are always available to help make your experience more enjoyable. Penny Pond has several resident waterfowl each summer that return to raise their chicks. Sandhill cranes and moose are occasional visitors.
