Fun at the lake

This home by the lake has 2 bedrooms with a queen bed and bunk bed in each room, a pull out couch, two sectional couches and two full bathrooms.

Cute little house close to the lake -

We had a wonderful time- nice little fire pit and seating area in the back yard for visiting. With a nice big deck for watching the sun rise with coffee ☕️ in the morning out front with view of the lake.

Fun on the dock!

I had business in town and my wife came with for the 4th. We do not have a boat but the access to the water by way of the dock was fantatic! She floatied around with the ducks for days. Property location was excellent right next to an ice cream shop. Everything we needed and more...deck..fire pit...lots of indoor space....just a nice property. Oh ...and owners were fantastically accommodating. Thanx!

Nice neighborhood, could use a deep clean though.

House was in a great location to the lake and amenities. Could use a good cleaning as there were several spider webs visible, even on the lighting above the kitchen table.

Lake house get away.

This place is cute, nestled right on the hill side of Clear lake. Has a lake view from the house with a large front deck. The house is super comfortable and plenty cozy for those cold nights and a very quiet neighborhood. The house has been recently renovated and looks like updates are still being added. Can’t say enough good on how much everyone enjoyed their stay. We appreciate the hospitality and can’t wait to get back up to the area.

Overall a cute house

Overall the house is in good shape. The front and back storm doors need replaced. Since pets are allowed was expecting a fenced backyard but is not fenced. The appliances are new but the dishwasher did not clean the dishes well.

Weekend getaway for sports tournament

The layout of the house was perfect for entertaining. It was lacking in some kitchen equipment (no tupperware, mixer, dishcloths or pot holders). We had to do a quick wipedown of the fridge, counter tops and pans but everything else felt clean. Overall enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Perfect Spot!

This home had the perfect location near the lake with dock access! We had a wonderful time walking the neighborhood, boating on the lake and chilling in the backyard. Everything was exactly as it was listed with everything we needed to prepare meals and sleep the 12 family members who joined us for the weekend. Thank you for everything!
