About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Galle
Hi there! Thank you for looking at our house! My husband and I have so much pride and hard work in our properties! We have been landlords for over 14 years with 3 other houses and decided becoming short term rental/vacation home hosts 4.5 years ago would be an amazing new adventure!
Now, with 4.5 years under our belts we have added 2 other houses making 3 homes as short term/vacation rentals! These properties have awesome features and we have a lot in store for them! If you book with us, we hope you keep an eye out to return as we have so much we want to add!
Marissa is a quiet small town with a couple restaurants and gas stations but less than 15 minutes to a small city (Sparta, IL) where you can do shopping or enjoy dinner at the local restaurants. We are also close to the World Shooting Complex and Recreation. Throughout the area there are different wineries and parks or if you want to travel a bit further we are about 30 minutes from Belleville, IL or 60 minutes from St. Louis, MO. Something in particular you are looking to do, send me a message and I will be happy to answer any questions! We hope you decide to book with us and let our house give you the relaxation you deserve!

Why they chose this property
All 3 of our properties are just a few miles from our homestead. We farm about 450 acres that stretch around all the houses and properties.
What makes this property unique
Our places are unique because they are either private or secluded with minimal neighbors and all three have access to fishing and small lake/ponds tucked quietly in the country.
