weekend getaway
The home was comfortable. The bathroom was pretty small but for a weekend...not a problem. The lake was just across the street and the town was easy to get around in. The parks were beautiful and everything was neat as a pin.

First time to Clear Lake
This was our first time Clear Lake and this was the perfect location for everything we wanted to do. It’s perfectly located to the beach both the State Park beach and City Beach. A very short drive to downtown and we found the perfect public golf course. Little Blue is also a little gem. Just the right size for us and very well stocked with everything we needed. A lovely home that was very comfortable, clean and offered us the relaxing time at home after our time out and about.

Perfect Little Cottage
It is conveniently located and it has all of the things we were looking for and even some we weren’t! Coffee in the morning and a little bar to go with it was a highlight! The fire ring in the backyard was a nice relaxing activity after driving there. Super to work with- will stay here again if we are in the area!

College gathering
Wonderful place to stay. Only thing is to make sure whoever is staying there does not turn deadbolt on accident on way out. The owner had husband come and unlock door for us. Please tell him we appreciated it! Good idea might be to leave keys to kitchen door in a secret place. We had a great college gathering!

Cute little cottage with a homey feel. Although rain and wind kept us off the lake for most of our stay, the comfortable furnishings and well-stocked game closet kept us entertained.
