Hutchinson, Kansas
Tranquil setting just outside the city limits of Hutchinson, KS. Built on the west edge of a five acre pond. Great for fishing, swimming, or just laying back and relaxing. Located less than one mile from the Hutchinson Zoo, Hutchinson dirt bike/ATV track, Carey Park, and Carey Park Golf Coarse. Within two miles of the Hutchinson Downtown Shopping, The Mall and Mall 8 Theaters, Underground Salt Museum, Hutchinson Sports Complex, Cosmophere Space Center, Kansas State Fair Grounds, and many fine Dining Establishments. We could probably fill two or three pages of different things you can do while you are staying at the Pond-a-Rosa Inn, but you will have to come and stay to see what we are talking about.
Hunting: The pond is just out the front door about 20 yards AND it is in the county and ducks and geese flock to it on a regular basis. Can't shoot in the city, but OK in the county. Don't miss out on this opportunity before it is GONE. We do allow pets and hunting dogs; JUST NOT IN THE HOUSE.
There are only 6 houses within a one half mile radius of the lodge and three of them belong to us. this means plenty of room to stroll around and relax. Play tennis on the tennis court or shoot some hoops on either of the two basketball goals. Go fishing, swimming, paddle boating, or just relaxing on the more than 100 yards of sandy beach area along the edge of the pond. We do offer paddle boat rentals, and horse back riding, or you might want to try out our zip line rides.

It is a nice house, fully equipped with everything you need. Was plenty big enough for everyone to stay. Does need better night time lighting.
My family had so much fun with paddle boating,fishing, swing ropes and the water slide. The house was very roomy and my wife loved the kitchen....it was fully equipped(could've had Thanksgiving there) I was very happy with our stay and to see so many smiles on my family's faces. Thank you Randy.
The property was ran down, BBQ area: grills were old and broken, look like they had not been used for at least a year. Picnic tables were broken down. No propane for the grill, had to use charcoal ?. The lodge was dirty, cobwebs everywhere, one of the shower heads was busted and water sprayed out the side of it and the other was so plugged up that it hardly worked at all. Tile was about to fall off the wall in one of the bathrooms. Lots of clutter everywhere that didn't really have a purpose. Old out dated. Looks like when something is broken instead of hauling it off it remains on property and makes the place look like a dumping ground. The beach area and play ground area was no different. Rusty and broken toys, junk laying every where! And the poor horses looked like they were starving, so thin?. And the hay they had looked old. This was a surprise 68th bday fishing trip for my husband and all the guys in our family. VERY disappointed!
We have been to this house twice now and the swimming pond is so much fun! Our kids did the slide and rope swing hundreds of times. We also enjoyed time in the hot tub and horseback riding ($20 extra). It was wonderful to have the private beach all to ourselves (though there is a chance you will share with one other family if the cottage behind the house is also being rented). The house itself was clean and spacious for our family of five.
The property was very nice! Had a great weekend!
Randy is a very nice guy, but after telling us that all amenities were in working order over a phone call and an email, we found that the house was not clean and all of the amenities not working. Most of the furniture was broken down and dirty looking. We were only able to stay one night out of the four we had booked. Randy did work with us to get us a refund of all but $100. Given the cost of the property, it just wasn’t kept up to the standard it should have been. I do understand that Covid 19 has taken away some of the guest that would stay causing it to be hard to be renovated. But the property should be clean.
It was easy to rent great location
Upon arrival, other individuals were swimming in our private beach. Homeowner said they would be gone shortly after we arrived but continued to swim for several hours. Also one of the swimmers made their way into our house and used the bathroom. Goats wandering the yard(the only form of yard matentience done by homeowner). Exterior of home not photographed on listed is severely dilapidated. Amenities listed are not at all accurate. For instance, there is no game room, pool table, hot tub is broken with water ridden electric wires above it. One basketball hoop is completely broken. One paddle boat is broken. Zip line doesn’t function. I think intentions are good as far as the homeowner goes. He was very kind and tried to accommodate us, but I think they are in over their heads and can’t keep up with all the needed maintenance. Previous reviews are all accurate in both positive and negative aspects. Furniture is extremely outdated and worn out. Still a large hole in the bathroom floor. If you want privacy you have to not only rent the house but two apartments in back AND an RV parked in the driveway. Had I known that it wouldn’t be a private beach with all listed amenities I probably wouldn’t have booked here. Kids had a good time but we won’t be back. Would only recommend as a last resort if you can’t find anything else.
Though we had an enjoyable time, others may not due to the inaccuracies of the amenities on the listing. We had fun swimming in the pond and fishing. However, there is no longer a game room or pool table. The hot tub does not work. In order to use the big rope swing, you have to pay an additional fee (not mentioned on the listing). Also, of the advertised pond, only half can be used by guests as the other half is roped off because it belongs to someone else. The home, while clean, could use some maintenance and upkeep (grills could not be used because of how dirty they were and the oven hadn’t been cleaned so it also produced smoke when we tried to use it as an alternative), weed eat/trim around the playground area when you know people booking are bringing children. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.
We've been here so many times with our family that it really feels like home. Thanks for another great visit!
