The Home is very nice and the decor is great. They have everything you would need to just bring your suitcase and enjoy the scenery this home has to offer. Enjoyed seeing the pelicans & herons daily! Loved the different gardens that are around the property and the large deck was a bonus! Thank you for a relaxing week in your home! Pam Wirth

Peaceful lakeside oasis

We absolutely loved our stay again this year at this little slice of lakeside heaven!!! The home is clean, well organized and well stocked. The firepit has ample seating to enjoy sunsets. We spent hours relaxing and reading on the deck, with the umbrella providing shade when the beautiful trees didn’t as the sun move across the sky. The kitchen is very well stocked and we have found over the years we have stayed that we lack nothing. The small fridge in the porch is excellent for beverages while keeping the main fridge for food. We will definitely be back, we love our annual trip here!

Lakeside Oasis

We loved our time at this beautiful lakeside oasis! The home’s layout is comfortable and provides plenty of sleeping spaces. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil and cooking dish you could possibly need. The gardens around the property are so beautiful and peaceful. The fire pit provided plenty of sitting space for lovely relaxing evenings! The lake is weedy so swimming wasn’t on our agenda, but we enjoyed being out on the water in our boat and spent lots of time fishing! The kiddos enjoyed catching little sunnies off the dock :) We’ll be back for sure!

Great property.

The pictures on VRBO don't do this property justice. The property is just beautiful, from the decor inside to the landscape design outside. The lake was another story. Our reason for choosing clear lake was to fish for walleye or fish we don't have in our area in Iowa. The invasive species problem made it impossible to do. I hope they find a solution. We still managed to enjoy ourselves however because of the great property. Would not hesitate to book again.

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful week enjoying your beautiful lakeside home! It was so very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was stocked with every imaginable piece of cookware, bake ware and dishes! Our favorite spots were the sunroom and deck where we enjoyed the evening sunsets overlooking the lake. A great home for a family vacation!
