Perfect home away from home for our first family girls only trip!

We were close to shopping and the beach and restaurants. The neighborhood was perfect for nightly walks. Check in was a breeze and the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed. Cozy and comfortable home away from home!

Great weekend Getaway

Ben was a great host. The property is awesome! It was private with a beautiful view of the lake from the sunroom. We really enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. We will stay here again when we have more time to spend in the Clear Lake area! Highly recommended!!!

This property was clean, nicely updated and had everything we needed on property for the perfect family vacation! We were able to watch the sunrise and set overlooking Clear Lake!

Clear Lake family vacation/retreat.

We love Clear Lake, the town and the lake itself. This property has been beautifully appointed and equipped with the latest technology - from check in to check out, the WIFI, the TVs, the Sonos speakers. Loved the renovations. The family could bond with games, food, walks, bike rides, getting out on the lake and just hanging out. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Spot In Clear Lake

This is a beautiful vacation home in Clear Lake. It is across the street from the lake and has lake views. We spent most of our time on the front deck relaxing with family. Our two adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren stayed with us. There are quiet spaces for babies to nap and young kids to play. The house is spotless and is stocked with everything you need. The grill made it easy to feed a crowd and there is also a fire pit in the back. We loved our stay and would return when visiting family in the area.

Awesome Lake House

This property has all the comforts of home. The kitchen is equipped with all of the appliances, utensils, cook and bakeware needed to prepare any meal. The bed and bathrooms were comfortable and well appointed. The living areas were comfortable, but, the real attraction was the front deck and enclosed porch with the great view of the lake. We were there in the off season late September early October and it was nice and quiet. I imagine there would be more activity at the height of summer. We had a wonderful time and this house and Clear Lake are definitely on our list of places to return to.

Spectacular home

We rented this home for my daughters birthday weekend with our family and enjoyed it very much. The backyard is nice & large enough to enjoy a round of bean bags in. The kitchen had all the amenities you need. It’s wonderful to have the basic household items provided. We have stayed many places that don’t offer this so it is a perk. Ben was wonderful with our check-in experience & followed up to make sure we were all good. Five stars!

Great Memories!

Perfect home on the lake! We still have teens at home and an adult child with her own little family. This home offered lots of options for spending time together, while still giving us the privacy we needed. The home had everything we needed for our stay and was very well organized. Cleanliness is very important to me, and this home did not disappoint. The host was very quick to respond, and very accommodating. We have rented several vacation homes and this one was one of my favorites!

Family Fun Fest

This home is outstanding. I highly recommend staying at this location. Couldn’t have been easier to navigate between the home, PM Park, and the rest of the family that were staying on the south shore. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. The owners are tremendous. Reached out to check in. We appreciated that. The neighbors are really nice too. My relatives that live there are also recommending this home to their friends that visit. Thank you so much for an easy and enjoyable time.

Perfect Lake Getaway

This house has everything we could possibly need and more; very well-appointed and high quality items throughout. The space was very well utilized and cleverly built- every nook and cranny was used and created unique spaces for everyone to spread out and enjoy their time there. Ben was great and responsive, and has done a great job thinking of everything needed, plus going the extra mile to make guests feel welcome. We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and neighbors were so friendly, chatting with us as we went. We've vacationed at Clear Lake many times, but this was our favorite house to stay at ever- thank you Ben for all of the wonderful ways you made our stay so special!
