The Lotus – Home with the best view of Calabogie Lake
Welcome to The Lotus Calabogie - one of the prettiest houses in the area. Enjoy the open concept spaces with the best view of Calabogie Lake. The house is few minutes to everything that Calabogie has to offer, the village, the park, the Lodge, the peaks, and the trails. You can go hiking, fishing, kayaking, swimming, motor racing, socializing, snow-shoeing, skiing, ice-fishing, or just staying chill. The Lotus Calabogie has all you need for the best vacation with your family and friends.
High atop a hill, nestled on a tranquil and peaceful 2.5 acre setting amongst the lush green forests and woods outback, sits the picturesque The Lotus Calabogie! The village of Calabogie, where nature meets the vibrant bustle activity, pulsing with life, all year round. There is something for everyone! Directly across the road, as seen in the photos, is lake access (Black Bay) where you can hop in your kayak and explore all that Calabogie Lake has to offer (two tandem kayaks + life jackets avail on site as well). You can also launch your kayaks or boats at Barnet Park, or hang out with the kids at Jocko Beach for the day, all only steps away from the home! For even more outdoor adventure and vacation needs, The Lotus is within minutes to the Peaks, Eagles Nest Trail, Motorsports Park, Highlands Golf, Nordic Ski Trails, 5-Star Restaurants, Spas, Shops and so much more.
Custom built in 2002, the home has been lovingly kept and upgraded over the years. The lush outdoor gardens will captivate you. Immerse yourself with a good book and sit amongst the birds in the perennial gardens. Overlooking the gardens is an impressive screened gazebo that provides picture perfect views of the lake. A great spot to catch the sunset or hang out on a rainy day! The rock garden on the side of the gazebo, lovingly called "Turtle Mountain", is where more natural beauty in nature can be seen as turtles make their way up to a safe haven to lay their eggs.
The Lotus offers all the amenities of a luxury home! The main and second levels, with panoramic lake views from every room, offers four bedrooms, three baths, main floor living and family rooms, large spacious dining area and fully serviced kitchen amenities, brand new laundry facilities conveniently located on the second level. Natural hardwood flooring throughout the main level. Open concept kitchen/family room with large picture windows offers an abundance of natural lighting and of course the lake views. Relax after a long day on the slopes in front of a cozy gas fireplace! Kitchen amenities include newer stainless appliances, gas range, built-in dishwasher and microwave. Spacious dining room/living room also features gas fireplace. Main floor bedroom (can sleep three) is ideal for those with difficulty doing stairs. Main bath, spacious foyer, mudroom and access to a two-car garage completes the first level.
The grand staircase to the second level will bring you to where some say is the best room in the house! Majestic views towering over the pristine waters of the lake, one could sit here for hours! We call this the "Zen" space where one can practice yoga, meditate or simply contemplate life. The second level also offers the newly furnished master bedroom with king sized bed, large walk-in closet and three-piece en-suite bath; two additional well sized bedrooms (with king and queen beds) and main bath with a clawfoot tub (for display only).

We are group of adult friends, we had a wonderful weekend, swimming, exploring, cooking, kayaking. The house and property were beautiful and very well appointed. We will definitely return.
The house accommodations were great, and the location is awesome. Our family spent many hours each day at the beach (Barnet Park) and kayaking on the lake.
The Lotus was a great weekend getaway for myself and my extended family! Big enough for 6 adults, 4 children and a dog to spread out and have a wonderful weekend. Close to a nice little beach and lots of outdoor space.
Our family greatly enjoyed our stay at the Lotus. The home was well organized and spacious. Promixity to the lake was the favourite attraction for the kids.
This house was exactly what we hoped it would be. The grounds and views were spectacular. Since we planned to cook over the weekend, we were pleased the kitchen was very well equipped, and the cabinets labelled with the contents. The bathrooms were similarly well equipped with supplies. The check-in process was easy and the host very responsive. We will be happy to stay here again in the future.

Thank you so much for writing this view. We are glad that you liked the Lotus and had fun during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
We had a mid week break at the end of May. The house was lovely, very spacious. Kitchen well equipped. The host checked in on us the first day to make sure everything had gone ok with the check in. It was all very good.
