Top Hanson Wildlife Area Hotel Reviews

Custom lake home, dock/boat lift, private beach, sleeps up to 15 see description

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful stay and home! The amount of millipedes on the back patio were crazy but not the owners fault and they gave us fair warning."

Modern & open 3-bedroom house with 3 stall garage in a perfect location..

8/10 Good

"Great home and location! Loved the spa bathroom Minimal dishes (can’t even bake a birthday cake) No baking pans, pizza pan, or mixing bowls, 4 plates and little glass bowls. Ceiling fan in the living room doesn’t work. Remote does, but not the fan. Tip…If the main floor lights are on after sunset, bugs cover the front door. We opened the door to leave and swarms flew in. It’s best to go through garage in the evening. Host gave a garage door opener so no issues but only the single tall garage door opens. Less than 10 min walk to Vikings ice cream shop! Tennis court and pickle ball court across the street. Easy drive to Clear Lake boat launch/ beach, shopping, dinning, Mason City & fairgrounds and Diamond Joes casino. I’m a traveling healthcare provider contracting in the area and my daughters and I would stay here again "

The Lodge Home - Abundance of Wildlife and a short walk to the lake with a dock!

8/10 Good

"The Lodge was a very spacious building and our family was very comfortable. Dish washer was broken so that caused more hassle. Also small dining table for such a large property. Poor directions to the dock, had trouble finding which one. Spacious parking and comfortable quarters for entertaining friends."

Beautifully updated cottage right in the heart of Fertile, Iowa!

10/10 Excellent

"What a treasure! This little place is gorgeous and so comfortable. It’s only a few minutes from Clear Lake and Mason City so we could go have all kinds of fun but then come back to a quiet resting place away from the hustle and bustle. There’s too many things to name them all but .. the beautiful lawn, the candy jar, the coffee bar, the interesting books set around, the blankets and pillows.. it was perfect and I hope to be going back again before too long!"

Lake Condo- Right on the Water with a Dock! Bring a boat or rent a boat!

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect vacation spot. Perfect location on the water with a million dollar view and an easy drive to downtown. Condo was professionally set up as a vacation rental with all bases covered. The only thing I would have changed is we would have stayed longer. Definitely a 10/10 vacation package."
