About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Restored home on the south shore, offering a nice view from across the street.

We purchased this hidden gem with family getaways in mind. Across from the lake, with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, gathering spaces on each level and a patio in back; deck out front, large families and friends can comfortably stay here. The kitchen is ready for your chef and all linens are provided. Each day you can walk to the beach or nearby park, and in the evening watch beautiful sunsets over the lake from the deck. The lower level will definitely be the hangout spot with a foosball table, gametable, tv area, built in bar and walk out patio with grill, fire pit and flower garden. There's plenty of room in the driveway if you want to bring your boat, and a boat ramp is 2 minutes down the road. Kids will love this rambling home with secret passages in the walls!

Lovely home a short walk to the beach
We loved our visit to your lovely home. Upon arrival we found the house to be very clean on a quiet street just a short walk to the beach. Sara was easy to get a hold of and responded very quickly to my questions. Everything was perfect I cannot say one negative thing about this house. It was perfect for our family.

Short walk to State Park Beach and nice park with playground
Cute home with much more space than you would think. Kids loved to hang out in basement game room. Clean and well-appointed with almost anything you could need. Extra fridge in basement was great! Comfortably slept 14 of us. Would certainly come back!

Perfect Family Setting
Suited our family children ages 7 to 18. Could walk to State Park Perfect back yard for grilling setting up fire pit for evening conversations and making s'mores. Lower level's kitchenette, exit to patio advantageous for our evening grilling and also entrance when returning from the beach. Washer and Dryer off kitchenette. Well stocked with linens, kitchen utensils. Location of bedrooms allowed privacy for adults and children and table in kitchen and also dining room excellent for varied schedules of eating. Our family is growing but hoping to rent this house next summer and also a 3/4 bedroom in same location.

An Exceptional Property for Entertaining
This home was a wonderful get-away! We had 8 people in our group with many family and friends joining us during the day. The house was more than accommodating for all of us. I could see larger families with kids enjoying this home. The "Disco Hall" would be great for kids! Also, the upstairs bedrooms were perfect for getting some naps in without the noise from crowds downstairs. The basement bar/living area with a walk out to the patio was perfect. Most of our time was spent there entertaining our guests. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals, etc. The front porch/deck was perfect for morning coffee and viewing the lake. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. I would highly recommend this home for your future escapes!

Nice home for a getaway
We enjoyed our stay as we were in town for a family wedding. The property was clean and well-appointed. It had a lot of character and the decor was lovely. The only thing we could have used was an ironing board and iron as we needed to press some items for the wedding. Also, the coffee pot (Kuerig) was malfunctioning and bursting the pods, getting grounds on the counter and in your cup of coffee. As we were all coffee drinkers, this was a little disappointing. Otherwise, everything was great and as described in the listing.

Came for a family reunion
My brother and I came from southen illinois with our spouses for a family reunion in Klemme. This fun house was great for all the kids. We had a total of 8 children between my brother and I (13, 11, 10, 9, 4, 3, 2 and 2 week old baby) and they loved all the fun accommodations to the house. We never heard they where bored. Would recommend for big families! House had a wonderful story. Would had loved to learn more about the houses history. Thanks so much for sharing your home with our families over the weekend, we truly appreciate it.

This place was a dream. It was super cute and cozy. Tons of vibe. And also tons of space. Bedrooms and beds everywhere so everyone had a place to sleep. Beds were fantastic. Kitchen was great. Game room was fun. And a couple different cozy places to hang and connect. This place is tops. We just loved it.

The house was super clean and had tons of space. The disco ball hallway was a favorite (nice touch :)). Firepit, nice back yard, lots of games, foosball, etc. Close to public beach area and a short drive to downtown. Hosts were very accommodating and easy to work with. We all had a great time!

Family Reunion
We were in Clear Lake for a family reunion. The accommodations were perfect for the 13 of us staying there. There were many little touches that made it feel like home away from home. The only thing I would say is that the stairs might be difficult for an elderly person. We loved it and would definitely recommend it!!!

Family Time
We had the privilege to stay in this house for a family getaway. The owners thought of so many things to include for our stay. They have lawn chairs, corn hole boards, pack and play, etc. The house is conveniently located a short walk from the beach and the provided wagon and stroller helped us haul what we needed. The front deck and backyard were great gathering places for meals and games. The laundry allowed us to freshen up our suits and towels for another day at the beach and was handy for baby items that needed washing. Our granddaughters sure enjoyed the disco hallway. When the jet ski battery needed changing, tools were quickly delivered. We really enjoyed our time together in a place that was cozy and clean with ample room to come together as a family.
