10/10 Excellent

"We gathered with our kids and grandkids in August and had such a great time. The house was everything we had hoped for with plenty of room for everyone. The history of the house was so very interesting and made the stay even more enjoyable. We spent a lot of time on the front porch visiting and enjoying the fresh air. It was a rainy time while in Clear Lake, but we were able to enjoy the short walk to downtown and the beach between showers. Our communication with Myron was great - he helped us immediately with any questions we had from the time of booking through our time there. We definitely would give our experience a 10 out of 10 easily. Thank you Lupkes family for helping give our family great memories of our time together at the Clausen House!"
