Great Lake Getaway

Great location and very comfortable lake cottage! We loved that we could sit on the front porch and watch the sun setting over the lake each evening. Easy walk to downtown and the beach. Hosts provided everything one would need!

Clear Lake near the beach

We loved walking to the water and spending time with family. Relaxing on the deck and cooking on the flat top was great. Very peaceful. Would stay again!

Cute house close to the lake

The location of this house was great, very close to the lake, also only a few blocks from the "downtown" Clear Lake area where a lot of the restaurants and shops are. We stayed here kind of in the off-season so it was a nice quiet neighborhood. Especially liked the privacy of the back deck and cool outdoor shower.

Comfy and plenty

So comfortable and plenty of beds for everyone. Check in was super easy. The house book was helpful. We were busy so didn’t use much in the kitchen. Location was perfect and would be great in the summer.

March Madness trip

We came down from Minnesota to watch March Madness and make a few wagers. The place was great for what we needed. Not too far from Diamond Jo’s, and a great location in Clear Lake. Pretty view of the lake, and walking distance to restaurants and grocery store. Quiet and pleasant neighborhood. WiFi and TV’s were great, and kitchen had everything we needed.
