Anniversary Getaway

Beautiful property right on the Lake. The property is clean with a nicely appointed kitchen. The opportunities to enjoy so many aspects of nature were endless. Kayaking at Sunrise was a delightful experience on our 48th Wedding Anniversary.

Great Lake views on the water

The place was easy to get in, owners were great and quick to respond with any issues. The views of the water were amazing, and the propane fire pit on the deck was great for night time relaxing. The wife and I even took the kayaks out for a few trips around the bay and was great fun. Little cold because it was off season, but to be expected and the heater was powerful! Super cozy little weekend trip with the InLaws

Wonderful Stay

What’s there not to like about this property?! Everything you could need is at your fingertips. They two kayaks were perfect for my wife and I. Launching them from the private dock was amazing! There is also a little hot spring less than a minute kayak ride from the dock! We brought our own groceries and the house had everything else we needed. We enjoyed all of our meals outside and had a wonderful time using the fire cooking bbq. The welcome binder was extremely informative with a lot of great info! Host left some surprise welcome gifts as well! All in all, highly recommend this home!

Blissful Laketime

The photographs don't do it justice! There was ample space, 2 living areas, and the rooms were a great size. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything you need including pots and pans, pasta strainer, can opener, Keurig coffee maker, even a smore making machine! The appliances were all newer and worked very well. The showers and water pressure was great, and the view onto the lake was amazing. The kids had a ball, and the deck was nice to sit on and watch them swim from. There is a little store about 2 minutes away in case you forgot something. Scott was fast to respond and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

The kind of place I'd buy if I could...

I visited the lake house in early May for a remote work and fishing trip. Had easy access to the lake with my kayak. Kept it on the dock and launched whenever I wanted to from there. Easy parking for my SUV and kayak trailer. Great area on Soda Bay with easy access from the dock to the state park area and Henderson Point using my kayak. There were even 2 kayaks included should you need them. House was fabulous. Pics don't really do it justice. There is more space than I expected. Could have easily brought my whole family thanks to the front bedrooms, bunkbeds, and nice bathroom. Kitchen was small but perfect and the owners even included 4 bottles of wine to try. The bathrooms were great - the lakeside master with on-suite includes a soaking tub. I haven't used one of those in a while and enjoyed it after a long day of work and fishing. Overall, this place is fantastic and I would stay again and will plan to. Thanks to Scott for making it available!

Perfect Spot for a Fishing Getaway!

We loved our stay here! The property was exactly as advertised. Clean, comfortable, and in a great location. One of the highlights was being able to fish right off the deck we caught plenty of fish and had a blast doing it! The house had everything we needed and everyone in our group was comfortable throughout the trip. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with great fishing and a place to unwind, this is it. We'd definitely come back!

we love this cottage

Surprisingly tucked away near the shore- fun, clean place, which is a great getaway. It’s so pleasant with the amazing view of Clearlake and the Hills to the north.
This was around 9:30 last night. Just gorgeous.
we saw a lot of fish being caught right across from our little dock. There is a small warm spring island that must attract them.

Cute and scenic

The house is cute and the view from the back deck is beautiful! We used the kayaks to paddle around the little islands and check out the springs just in front of the house. My husband and daughter caught fish right off the dock. Our dog was very happy there as well, however we did use a tie out cable because the fence isnt very tall and i didnt want him roaming the neighborhood. It was a perfect place for our lake trip!

Great for stargazing!

My spouse and I wanted to stay in this area to stargaze with our basic telescope. The cottage has a beautiful view of the sky. A couple of bowls in the cupboard has been put away without being cleaned first, but our stay was otherwise great. Nicole was very responsive and kind.

Stunning views of Soda Bay

We came into town for our friends Labor Day party and were able to rent this amazing cottage right on the water. The views from the back deck are absolutely gorgeous! House a very spacious lay out with two good sized bathrooms and a really nice kitchen. We were able to BBQ dinner one night while taking in the lake views. Will hopefully stay here again in the future!

Nice Lakehouse & Great Location

Excellent communication. Place was nice and clean and had pretty much everything you would need. Lake view was gorgeous but unfortunately the algae blooms made the water unswimmable. Other than that, we were able to enjoy the kayaks and had a wonderful time here!

4th of July

Property was as described. Host communication was great. Overall it was a nice place for the price. Issues we had that made this not a 5 star stay: 1. The AC unit is old and must have been off for some time as it pumped hot air the first few hours and took a full 24 hours to cool the house down somewhat. Fans were very limited and didn’t work great. Vents are only located in the center of the house so bedrooms and front living room were very hot. The AC unit could not keep up, we melted the entire stay. 2. Normally this would have been ok, as we were hoping to be swimming in the lake to cool off. However the algae along the shoreline was really thick and continued to be thick at least 20 yards off the dock, so swimming was out of the question. We thought being early in the summer season, the algae would not have been this bad already. We know it gets bad in August. 3. The fishing situation was not ideal because of all the algae. The lines kept getting stuck. 4. The fridge was not cold initially and we had to transfer all of our food back to coolers the first day. Not sure if it was off before we arrived and it needed time to cool down in the heat wave, we made it work with our coolers but not ideal. 5. The gas grill shown in one of the property pictures is not operational. There is a charcoal and wood burning grill available (also shown in pics) but we didn’t have charcoal with us the first night and had to cook indoors which made the house even hotter.

Perfect Location Cute House

We stayed here for 4 days, and had the best time. We were able to dock our boat at the private dock behind the house, and we fished from the dock every day. Would recommend kayaking in the morning, as it was so peaceful and the water was so still. The house itself was so cute. We loved the wine that was left for us by the owners (thank you)! Will definitely plan another trip again.
