The house was great! We had a wonderful stay with our adult children and two month old baby. The beds were comfortable. We had plenty of room for the seven of us. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything you could ever need. The house was very clean. We enjoyed the space inside and the outside deck. We were within walking distance of downtown. Would definitely stay again.

My husband and I and two of our adult sons stayed here for two nights to attend a wedding reception for my nephew. The beds were comfy, the house is decorated nicely and feels like home, much better than staying in a hotel. We really enjoyed our stay and if we ever come back to town we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Four high school friends from LONG ago visited Clear Lake for a chance to catch up and see a town that was new to all of us. The setting and walkability was perfect.
The hosts left easy to follow directions and gave wonderful hints about the area.
There are quite a few stairs so this place is best for people who can climb stairs.
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this home.

A group of high school classmates found Clear Lake to be a great meeting point for a girls weekend. The house is in a great location in close proximity to downtown shops, restaurants and bars. The owner was very responsive and communicated everything we needed to know ahead of time. There was 5 of us and we had plenty of room to hang out and enjoy the house. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Great place to stay - would highly recommend!

We've stayed in alot of places in Clear Lake o er the years. Your home was fantastic for two families of 4! We appreciated the upstairs with the bathroom.
I would suggest a window covering on the window at the top of the stairs. The upstairs bath doesn't have a fan, so it would have been nice to have a window cover so we could open the bathroom door for ventilation.

My husband and I along with 2 other couples (friends and fellow travelers) wanted to do a trip not far from our homes in the Twin Cities. We chose Clear Lake and Mason City. The rental was in a perfect location for us to downtown Clear Lake and 20 min. easy drive to Mason City. Also located in a quiet walkable neighborhood a block from the lake. Perfect for our evening walks. We six also enjoyed the outdoor deck as well. The rental was an easy walk to the Surfside Ballroom and the outdoor memorial to Buddy, Richie and Big Bopper. The kitchen was well supplied and really liked that all the cupboards and drawers were labeled with what was in each one. This home met all our needs and we 6 would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Clear Lake. "The Minnesota Roadies"

Gathering of Friends
There were seven of us friends for 35-40 years. Clear Lake was a central meeting point for us. We enjoyed our time so much. Ate, laughed, shopped, wandered, (did I mention laughed)? Your house was the perfect size for us and the location was great as well. We walked everywhere. We’re hoping to return!

Great stay
Property was very nice and in a good location so my kids could ride back and forth to town on their bikes. We are first time visitors to Clear Lake. We rented a boat and tubed the 2nd day. It's a neat town and great for a short getaway.

Very nice home, fun location in Clear Lake
This home is very clean and well set up for a family visit. The upstairs bedroom is very large, has two queen beds and lots of extra space. The upstairs bathroom shower was fantastic. On the main floor, there are two bedrooms, a full bath, a nice kitchen and a dining room. Lots of decks outside for seating. The big maple tree in the front yard makes wonderful shade for the decks. You can sit on the deck and see the lake, hear the music from the Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and Big Bopper memorial just a block away. We had a great time walking downtown and along the lake shore from this home. Highly recommended!

Girls Weekend Getaway
The house was perfect for our group of 4 but could have easily held more. We enjoyed the deck with peekaboo views of the lake across the street, just as the picture shows. The house is within walking distance to the downtown and in a quiet neighborhood. It was a beautiful fall weekend and we were able to enjoy the outdoors with walks in the woods and a nice drive around the lake. I/we would definitely stay here again. Sarah was easy to communicate with and responded in reasonable time. Thank you for sharing your house with us. We all had a wonderful weekend!!

Time Away to Knit and Spin
The house was comfortable. There were only two of us so we just used the main floor. Bugs from overhanging tree sent us inside when we would have preferred to spin outside on the deck.
Everything was clean and in proper working order.
Owner was very helpful. Neighborhood was quiet and safe for walking. It was a good experience.

Perfect for a girls weekend!
This is the perfect lake house for your girls weekend!! I hosted a getaway for 8 ladies and there were plenty of beds for everyone. We LOVED the open floor plan and cute decor. Everything is labeled from cupboards to light switches which I so appreciated! We will definitely be staying here in the future for our Clear Lake getaways. Walking distance to the lake, and you can see it from the deck. Sarah was so wonderful in helping me plan out the weekend. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Great family retreat
We had a fantastic time! Ate most of our meals on the deck - with a lovely view of the lake. The house was perfect for our multi-generational family group. We could play games on the lower level while the younger folks went to bed. It's an easy walk or bike ride into downtown/beach area. This house had everything we needed! Thank you Sarah!
