Hidden Pond Lodge | Family Cabin on a Private Stocked Fishing Pond in Hochatown



Hidden Pond Lodge is a family cabin built around its private, stocked fishing pond, just steps from the cabin. It's an analog, screens-off kind of place: families slow down, get outside and get real face time together.



The pond

Our catch-and-release pond is stocked, with hundreds of fish that spawn every spring: catfish, hybrid striped bass, bluegill and more. It's kept clean, with cattails cut back and algae treated. Fish from either of the two docks (both with Adirondack chairs) or take the very stable pedal boat, rated for 6 adults, out on the water. Kids love it. A rack on the side deck usually holds a few fishing poles, but bring your own gear and bait to be sure. Swimming in the pond is allowed; life jackets are not provided, so please bring them for children.

Smoking

Smoking is not permitted inside the cabin in order to preserve the freshness and comfort of the space for future guests.



Quiet Hours

Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 10 AM out of respect for neighboring cabins and the surrounding community. Sound travels easily throughout the forested mountain areas.



Event Policy

Small events and gatherings may be allowed at the cabin, and a small event fee may apply. Please reach out before your stay to discuss your plans. While we may be able to accommodate more people for events, only the maximum sleeping occupancy is allowed to stay overnight at the cabin.



Nature & Environment

One of the most memorable parts of staying in a Broken Bow cabin is being surrounded by nature. Because this property is located in a wooded setting, guests may encounter wildlife and seasonal elements during their stay.

Deer, squirrels, raccoons, turkeys, and other native wildlife are commonly seen throughout the area. The cabin is professionally treated for pests, though occasional insects such as spiders, mosquitoes, beetles, ladybugs, or wasps may still appear, particularly during seasonal transitions or rain.

During spring months, pollen from surrounding pine trees may collect on outdoor surfaces despite cleaning efforts before arrival.

Keeping doors and screens closed whenever possible helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout your stay.

We encourage guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings while remaining respectful of neighboring cabins and the natural environment. Sound travels easily throughout the forested area.



What To Bring

We recommend bringing groceries, condiments, cooking oils and seasonings, personal toiletries, coffee and creamers, bug spray for mosquitoes and ticks, ice, and firewood with fire starters for the outdoor firepit.
