The House

Calder House is a home, not a venue. It’s designed for shared living—meals at the table, quiet mornings, long conversations, and space to retreat when you need it.

Set in a quiet Catskill valley near Bovina, the house feels settled and human, with room to gather and room to be alone.

Gathering Spaces

At the heart of Calder House is a spacious chef’s kitchen that opens into a large dining great room. This is where days begin and end—coffee in the morning, shared meals in the evening, conversations that stretch longer than planned.

The sunroom fills with natural light throughout the day and offers a comfortable place to read, rest, or create quietly. A wraparound porch extends the living space outdoors, ideal for slow mornings, fresh air, and evenings as the light fades.

These shared spaces are designed to feel easy and welcoming—never formal, never precious.

Sleeping

& Privacy

Calder House comfortably sleeps up to ten guests.

The main house includes:

  • Three king bedrooms

  • One cozy bunk bedroom

  • Two and a half bathrooms

Sleeping arrangements work best for friends, families, or collaborators who are comfortable sharing a home and appreciate both togetherness and personal space.

The Guesthouse

A separate guesthouse provides additional privacy and flexibility. It includes:

  • A full kitchen

  • A private bathroom

  • A queen-size bed

  • An outdoor shower

The guesthouse is ideal for a couple, a facilitator, or anyone who would appreciate a bit more separation while still being fully part of the gathering.

The Setting

Calder House sits in a quiet valley surrounded by fields, woods, and pine. The landscape changes with the seasons—green and expansive in summer, crisp and golden in fall, still and contemplative in winter.

Nature here isn’t curated or managed. It’s present, steady, and quietly influential. Time spent outdoors is unstructured and optional, shaped by weather, energy, and curiosity.

A Shared Home

Calder House is intentionally intimate. It works because the group arrives already connected and shares the rhythms of the house together—meals, mornings, quiet moments, and rest.

If you’re considering bringing your group here and would like to talk through how the house works in practice, I’m happy to answer questions.
