The Blue Chalet on Sage Lake! - near boat launch - pontoon available for rent

Relax and enjoy this 3-bedroom, 2 full bathroom, family house on 800-acre Sage Lake!

Rent our available 22' pontoon boat for your stay or bring your own boat and tie-off to the dock right out front. The house is conveniently very close to the boat launch.

It has a large patio to enjoy the outdoors and a fire pit for late night bonfires. Propane grill also provided.

This house is situated for family use, no larger groups or parties allowed. We must be respectful of the neighbors.


*Note there is a new concrete patio that replaced the deck shown in the photos. It is much nicer with concrete walkway and steps to the lake. New photos coming in the Spring after the landscaping is completed!

Sleeps 10 people comfortably (2 King, 2 Queen, 2 Full beds, and an optional futon). Two bedrooms are on the main floor with a King and Full bed in each, along with one full bathroom. The third bedroom is up stairs with two Queen beds, a futon, along with the other full bathroom, and a seating area with a nice lake view.

Fully stocked kitchen with pots/pans/utensils. Dishwasher and washer/dryer provided. Linens and towels also provided.

Access to the entire house and property. No access to the shed or locked supply closet.

Parking is available for 3 vehicles and could also park on the side of this dead-end road with limited traffic.



**** There is also a 22' Pontoon Boat available to rent for your entire stay for $250 per day or $1,250 per 7-day week, which includes a full tank of gas. If you rent the pontoon, it must be for your entire stay, no daily rentals. The pontoon boat seats 12 people and has a 50hp motor to get around the lake and enjoy the sand bars. Pontoon will be tied to one side of the dock. Separate rental agreement and waiver is required. Guests are responsible for appropriately sized coast guard approved life preservers for all children that cannot wear standard adult life jackets. No pets are allowed on the pontoon boat.

Please note that the dock and pontoon boat will only be available starting in May through September. The dock will be out of the water and stored (on the side of the property by the water) outside of those months.


Favorite Nearby Attractions:
- Enjoy Sage Lake! We have 4 kayaks that can be used or bring your boat, kayaks, or other water toys. Or rent our available pontoon boat!
- Visit Kenyon's Lakeside Resort for food and drinks right on Sage Lake!
- Walk to Crusins for some ice cream or food!

Please read and adhere to the house rules, especially: ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OF ANYTHING INSIDE THE HOUSE! Also, no cigarette disposal on the lawn.

Disclosure: I do have outdoor cameras that can record audio & video. They are in plain sight for security purposes and not hidden. There will never be any indoor cameras anywhere inside the house to respect guest privacy. Any attempt to tamper with these outdoor cameras are prohibited. There are two cameras facing the lake, one camera facing the road, and one camera by the entry door.

I also have two Amazon Alexa devices in the house useful for playing free music. Technically these record audio but it is only available to Amazon for their Alexa function and users cannot access. Feel free to unplug these two devices if you are uncomfortable with them.


Please note any 2025 lake weed and algae treatment dates that may happen during your stay. They do not recommend swimming in the lake until 24 hours after treatment:
- May 20: Weed and algae treatment
- June 17: Weed and algae treatment
- July 15: Weed and algae treatment
- Aug. 12: Weed and algae treatment

Lake house fun

Our family stayed for a long weekend and was pleasantly surprised with the house. The house was one of the best stocked I’ve ever stayed at: from cozy, soft beach towels to all types of cooking implements and family games.
Swimming in front of those properties.
Fishing off the dock.

Great 4th of July week

Great stay with my family, the home had everything we needed we brought extra towels and blankets in case but never needed them. The lake is very nice and plenty large enough to roam. Would definitely recommend this home.

Super clean house with everything you need for a great getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at the home. There was plenty of room for 10 of us to sleep comfortably. The house was clean, organized, and had everything we needed. We took advantage of the kayaks that were available and rented the pontoon as well to cruise around Sage Lake. The host was easy to get in touch with and quickly responded to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous!

Had a six day vacation mid August. Rained four out of six, and it didn't matter! Well designed and light filled, this chalet has more than enough communal and semi private interior space to give a group the room to spread out. Sage Lake is a beauty, spring fed and sprawling. I went fishing for Gills and Crappie, had no problem finding them. This is a quiet lake with many grandparents about on pontoons. Perfect! My spouse was inspired by the wildlife. Highly recommended by us both, Eric is a good host.

Beautiful property and lake

My husband and I along with our 2 adult children and and their spouses and 2 grandkids (age 14 and 9) had an amazing time. The property owner was great. The house had everything you could want and was very comfortable. The lake is beautiful. We boated, paddle boarded, kayaked, fished and just enjoyed spending quality time together. Definitely want to come back next year.

Beautiful and Relaxing Lake House

This home was the perfect getaway to bring two families together! The house was super clean, organized, and well-stocked with supplies. The owner answered questions expediently and really provided everything needed to make the vacation great. From the guidance on nearby places to check out to the wonderful kayaks and fun family games to play with, we felt right at home. Not to mention the beautiful, all-sport lake right out the back door! We were able to launch our boat from the boat launch literally just a minute away and keep it right at the dock in their backyard for easy access all day long. We would definitely recommend and stay again in the future!
