We were only in town for two nights, but we made the most of it. The house is in a great location and more adorable in person than the pictures show it to be.
The place was stocked with everything we needed.

We had a lovely time at this home! It was close to the lake and just up the street from the Tiki bar 🙌 There was plenty of room for us four adults, a lot of sitting areas inside and out. The updates in the house are nice and it was stocked with all necessary kitchen and bath items!
The beds were not great for us. I know that’s a personal preference. I would return if beds were better.

Traveled from NC to meet my son who lives in small apartment in Mason City. Wanted a cozy close by place to stay and visit and this was perfect.

Very pleasant. Only complaint, for two adult couples, is that one of the queen mattreses is awful and needs to be replaced. After experiencing first night, a 6'4" guest chose to sleep in the tiny third bedroom single bed, instead. Only item that keeps me from giving the stay five stars.

This is a well maintained clean property. Feels newly remodeled. Well equipped large kitchen with 2 outdoor entertainment areas. Walking distance to the marina and PM Park. A 3 mile drive to downtown Clear Lake. Clear Lake is a wonderful resort town. Plenty of dining, sightseeing and recreation options. Highly recommend this property, and Clear Lake for a destination.

Unfortunately we were in town for a funeral so we were not there but to sleep, but your house was so homey and clean - just what we needed and were able to spend time together. Thank you. Hope to be back and enjoy it more next time!

10.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed our stay at Bayside Cottage where we were able to have a relaxing visit and spend quality time with family. The pictures actual don’t do the home justice as it’s is even better in person! This home had everything we needed for our stay. The grill was great as we grilled hamburgers and steaks. The cottage is decorated well and very clean. It was safe for an 18 month old and for the 80 plus yr old great grandparents to come visit. It is within walking distance to the lake and ice cream shop. Very convenient to convenient and grocery stores. The hosts even left us a welcome basket and toiletries if they were needed. We hope to visit and stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home!
