About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Cal's Secluded Lake House Retreat!
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 (soon to be built), paddle boat, kayak, and lily pad are for "Cal's Lake House" guests only.
