Ron’s Landing - A Place to Slow Down, Gather Together & Make Lasting Memories

Some vacations are about checking attractions off a list. The best ones are about the people you’re with.

Welcome to Ron’s Landing, our family’s tribute to the simple joys of Clear Lake and the father who taught us to appreciate them. For years, weekends here meant mornings on the lake, afternoons spent together, evenings around the campfire, and conversations that lasted long after the sun went down. Those moments became some of our family’s greatest memories, and when we renovated this home, our goal wasn’t simply to create a vacation rental. We wanted to create a place where other families and friends could slow down, reconnect, and create traditions of their own.

Nestled on a quiet private drive with beautiful views of Clear Lake, Ron’s Landing blends the charm of small-town Americana with the comforts of a thoughtfully updated home. Whether you’re here for a week on the water, a cozy fall weekend, winter ice fishing, or simply a chance to unplug from everyday life, you’ll find spaces designed for both gathering together and enjoying a little quiet.

With three bedrooms, two family rooms, a sitting room, a four-season sunroom overlooking the lake, a screened porch, an upstairs deck, and a spacious backyard with a fire pit, there’s room for everyone to settle in. Share a meal around the dining table, play board games in the sunroom, sip coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake, spend an evening around the fireplace or fire pit, or simply enjoy the slower pace that makes Clear Lake so special.

We furnished Ron’s Landing the way we would want a vacation home to feel if we were the guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, double ovens, cookware, spices, oils, and many of the little things that are often missing from vacation rentals. Throughout the home you’ll find comfortable beds, quality linens, charging stations, Sonos speakers, games, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and thoughtful touches intended to make your stay comfortable from the moment you arrive.

Clear Lake offers something to enjoy in every season. Spend your days boating, swimming, paddleboarding, fishing, cycling, shopping downtown, exploring local restaurants, visiting the Surf Ballroom, or taking peaceful walks through the surrounding neighborhoods. In the winter, enjoy a day on the ice before returning home to warm up by the fireplace. While the property does not have a private dock, public boat ramps, State Beach, and convenient lake access are only minutes away.

One thing we’re especially proud of is what our guests say after they leave. They consistently describe Ron’s Landing as exceptionally clean, thoughtfully stocked, comfortable, peaceful, and welcoming. Many mention that they appreciated having enough room for everyone to gather without ever feeling crowded, while others say it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a family lake home. Perhaps our favorite compliment is how many guests tell us they can’t wait to come back.

We hope you’ll feel the same way. Welcome to Ron’s Landing, where life slows down, memories are made, and family traditions begin.

For the security of our guests and the property, two exterior security cameras monitor only the front and back entry doors. There are no interior cameras or cameras overlooking guest living areas.

We love Clear Lake, the town and the lake itself.

The family could bond with games, food, walks, bike rides, getting out on the lake and just hanging out. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Spot In Clear Lake

This is a beautiful vacation home in Clear Lake. It is across the street from the lake and has lake views. We spent most of our time on the front deck relaxing with family. Our two adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren stayed with us. There are quiet spaces for babies to nap and young kids to play. The house is spotless and is stocked with everything you need. The grill made it easy to feed a crowd and there is also a fire pit in the back. We loved our stay and would return when visiting family in the area.

Spectacular home

We rented this home for my daughters birthday weekend with our family and enjoyed it very much. The backyard is nice & large enough to enjoy a round of bean bags in. The kitchen had all the amenities you need. It’s wonderful to have the basic household items provided. We have stayed many places that don’t offer this so it is a perk. Ben was wonderful with our check-in experience & followed up to make sure we were all good. Five stars!

Great Memories!

Perfect home on the lake! We still have teens at home and an adult child with her own little family. This home offered lots of options for spending time together, while still giving us the privacy we needed. The home had everything we needed for our stay and was very well organized. Cleanliness is very important to me, and this home did not disappoint. The host was very quick to respond, and very accommodating. We have rented several vacation homes and this one was one of my favorites!

Family Fun Fest

This home is outstanding. I highly recommend staying at this location. Couldn’t have been easier to navigate between the home, PM Park, and the rest of the family that were staying on the south shore. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. The owners are tremendous. Reached out to check in. We appreciated that. The neighbors are really nice too. My relatives that live there are also recommending this home to their friends that visit. Thank you so much for an easy and enjoyable time.
