Poor parking and long walk to get your things into the house. The property is behind another duplex and you must walk by the other house that is not very well kept and has a large barking dog with open windows in the house you walk by to get to the VRBO we stayed at. It’s not clear whose yard is whose and the owner of the dog clearly doesn’t clean up the dogs Poo therefore our toddle not only was our toddler frightened multiple times she couldn’t walk through the yard due to the dog mess. The cleanliness of the rental was so so - we had to sweep and wipe down the floor to feel comfortable letting our toddler play in the house. The forced insurance policy was annoying as well. We would not stay here again mainly due to the large dog and gross yard you you must pass to get to the house far behind the other rental house. You can’t see the VRBO from the street we thought we might have a peak a boo view of the lake based on the pictures that is not the case at all.

This sweet cottage was the perfect place for a reunion in Clear Lake with my family! It is tucked away behind a house in a downtown neighborhood of beautiful historic homes, all of which having lovely gardens and charming front porches. The cottage's location set back from the street and behind a house created a nice courtyard with a bit of a private feel, and we spent a lot of time out there on the patio, enjoying the beautiful trees, the squirrel "acrobatics," and the abundant bird life (including some kind of little owls that SCREECHED [just one occasion] and startled us all one evening!). As for the interior of the cottage, it was absolutely immaculate and extremely well appointed with everything we needed. The décor had a nice beachy theme, and the cottage was comfy and inviting. We had planned our reunion around the Clear Lake "Art Sail," and the cottage was close enough that we could walk to the City Park where it was being held, as well as to the City Beach, the Lady of the Lake paddleboat, and to all the great restaurants downtown (do NOT miss the Starboard Deli!). A public boat dock was just up the block from the cottage, and the Surf Ballroom and Farmer's Market were nearby. Sherri the host was very responsive to all of our questions, both before booking and during our stay, getting back to me often within minutes of my messaging her. Thank you, Sherri, for being a great host! I absolutely recommend the Hidden Cottage to anyone planning a stay in Clear Lake.

The place has an excellent layout with a great room which flows into the kitchen. The first floor master bedroom was great. The house was clean neat and uncluttered
Highly recommend it

Perfect little property - excellent location
This was our first time visiting Clear Lake as a family. This casita was perfect for us. Clean, cozy, and stocked with beach gear. We enjoyed the separate living areas and the basement’s washer and dryer. The hosts’ communication was excellent and everything was better than expected. One block away from the Surf ballroom and 4 blocks to the main beach and city park. We will hopefully be back in the future.
