Clear Lake

I grew up in CL and the previous owners of this house were members of our church and they let our family use their garden that was in their back yard. Many memories of weeding and harvesting veggies in the garden!

Comfortable, clean house in great location

Our kids enjoyed playing with the toys at the house after a day at the beach, which was within walking distance. We brought our own beach towels and chairs but didn’t need to since the owners provide them. Our family had a s’mores night at the outdoor fire pit. This was our third stay at this property and we’ll be back again.

Great location for the 4th!

We stayed over the 4th of July and it was the perfect location for downtown activities and a few blocks to the lake to watch the fireworks. The farmers market on Saturdays is also just a few steps away. Will definitely stay again

Loved it!

From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated to fun and whimsical decor and amenities. There was literature available about the area, as well as toys for my 6-year-old grandson, games and bikes for the teens, and a fire pit and gazebo, where the adults could relax. I wish there were more stars to give - our stay was truly a 10!

Perfect Location

We were in town for a concert at The Surf and this house was the best location for us to walk right over. The beds and furniture were super comfortable and the bedding smelled so clean. It’s decorated so cute and felt very welcoming! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating as well. We will for sure stay here again.
