The House on Cal's Lake
Experience beautiful views and wildlife from this fully renovated waterfront retreat located on a 6 acre secluded lake with additional acres to explore and enjoy! This beautiful home is fully stocked with all essentials to create a home away from home feeling during your visit. Simply relaxing, a night sky perfect for stargazing with cozy rooms and an extra coffee nook on the upper loft overlooking the lake. This home does share the property with us, the owners, two RV/Camper Spots which you will pass when driving to the home. As well as, another short term rental called the "Farmstead" that is located on the farm we own which is also located at the entrance to this home and property. There are signs guiding these guests on the path around the lake across the dam and not down the driveway that leads directly to the house. The dock, paddle boat(seasonal), kayak(seasonal) and lily pad are for "Cal's Lake House" guests only.
Nightly rate includes up to 4 guests (infants excluded). Each additional guest is $25/night. Please include all overnight guests on your booking—unauthorized guests may be charged $50 per person, per night. Maximum occupancy is 8 to ensure comfort, safety, and proper liability coverage. Exceeding this limit may result in cancellation without refund.

The house is very well decorated and the layout accommodates gathering comfortably with the open floor plan. The lake was beautiful to view in the fall. Communication with host was prompt.
An absolutely beautiful and spacious home. Very clean and accommodating. From the moment we walked in the front door to walking out the back and seeing the beautiful view it was such a peaceful place to be. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. The Blitz Family
