Great indoors, large bedrooms, we put up an outdoor tv on the large deck to watch " The Game" while the kids played in the back yard. PERFECT Walking distance to several favorite spots. Thanks to the host!!

We stayed over a weekend and it was perfect. Easy walking distance from downtown, and yet a quiet neighborhood when we returned. Plenty of things to do for all ages!

We had an awesome stay. Had everything we needed and was so clean and homey. Location was terrific. Thank you so much for making our weekend so pleasurable!!

Very cute, spacious place that is perfect for a family! Immediate response from host when texted with question!

We had a fantastic stay. Doing the laundry on the last day was a bit of a hassle with check out being at 11. Other than that, it’s a really nice place to stay.

Charming house in a quiet neighborhood right across the street from central gardens of north Iowa. We enjoyed walking through the gardens and playing bocce ball every day. House was very comfortable, 2 full baths, and 4 separate bedrooms worked well for us. Host was great about communicating and answering any questions. We enjoyed hanging out in the front and back deck spaces and a bonus that it is close enough to walk downtown, city park and the sea wall.

This house is in a nice location and neighborhood, walking distance to downtown and right across the street from Central Gardens. Check-in was easy. The upstairs bedroom was humid and smelled musty. The couch in the main living area was uncomfortable. Some of the bedding and bath towels were sketchy and need replaced. The dishwasher wasn't working, but we weren't told that until the 2nd day. We were then asked if it would be ok if a repairman was sent during our stay. We said that would be fine and to please let us know approximately when he'd be there. Within minutes, we were told he was at the house. We were not there at the time and would have appreciated advanced notice as we wouldn't have left personal things sitting out when we left the house had we known someone would be coming in when we were out. After hearing nothing more about the dishwasher, I contacted the owner the following day to find out if it was working and was told it was not and wouldn't be repaired until after our stay. Several days later, a repairman showed up unannounced and again entered the house without our knowledge. My teenage daughters arrived back at the house to find the repairman there. When I contacted the owner, they apologized but indicated it was difficult to get a repairman there. Handwashing dishes was not a big deal. Ultimately, the lack of communication and consideration for our privacy and safety (the repairman apparently had the keycode to the house) was disappointing.

The 4 bedrooms and 2 baths are wonderful for a larger group and the private backyard and close proximity to all of Clear Lake's downtown amenities is very handy. Being next to the Central Gardens provides a wonderful area to walk and enjoy the beautiful flowers and Gardens activities.
