Scenic, peaceful, private property with great spring fed pond. Great place for family or friends to gather and get away. Hope to go again!

We had great time at what we refer to as the pond cabin. It's a beautiful setting and kids and adults can find plenty to do. We fished, kayaked, had campfires, cooked and ate outside. The weather was in the 70's in August, but it didn't stop the kids from getting in the water. They spent hours building and digging in the sand. They all want to go back.

Let me start with the undeniably AMAZING things about this property; The scenery alone was gorgeous, including your very own secluded pond and beach area to enjoy at your leisure. The house, having been built in the 1800s, was incredibly unique, including 2 separate 2nd story areas and enough space for our large family to stay comfortably. The hiking trails were fun, fishing was great, wildlife was unbelievable and the hanging hammock chairs near the beach are now currently in my Amazon cart! As far as the actual stay, there was definitely a lot of extra planning and pre-packing of items usually included in a rental. No outdoor chairs, beach towels, laundry detergent and a desperately needed fresh dish sponge are provided. The poor lighting in the entire kitchen badly needs to be upgraded. There’s beautiful string lights on the front porch but we were unfortunately told there was no extension cord to actually plug them in….All of the kayaks/canoes disappointingly had a daily rental fee and each bundle of firewood needed to be separately purchased. Between the both relentless biting flies and mosquitos, be sure to bring bug repellent that can be sprayed around the entire area - definitely something I wish we would have brought! This property was beautiful and a wonderful place to simply be together as a family and relax whether that was sitting on the front porch rocking chairs with a hot cup of coffee or kayaking around the pond searching for turtles and other great

Very well kept.

This was our third stay at Clear Creek Cabin, and everything was great! This place provides lots of privacy, and is very scenic. We love the spring-fed pond, and the sandy beach is perfect for little kids of all ages. The pond is also great for paddle boarding and for teaching kids how to fish! Our family uses the large dining room and living room throughout the day, and we also grill or cook all our meals while we are there. A well-stocked kitchen provides all the dishes, glasses and cooking utensils that you would need. Ryan, our host, is always very responsive, and knowledgeable. Everyone enjoyed our time at Clear Creek, and we would not hesitate to come back again for another stay!

This cabin is exactly as described! Our whole family loved it-perfect for a family reunion. We had space to spread out in the house and on the pond. The dining table was large enough for all 10 of us to enjoy meals together and play some games! First time for that on a vacation. Ryan was very available to help when we had a possible storm issue. Appreciate the communication! Kitchen is very well stocked. The kayaks were great-we now have some people wanting to purchase! The only suggestion we had was to change out the futons to beds when you’re able to. We plan on returning to this little piece of paradise in Iowa!

We had 9 adults and 7 children age 7-17. The bedroom situation did not really fit our needs but made it work with sleeping on couches and air mattresses. I feel the advertising of sleeping 18 was a real stretch. We greatly enjoyed the pond for fishing-we had never seen such big fish! The area is beautiful and remote and we loved the wildlife and birds. The kitchen was well stocked. Ryan answered all questions right away and was easy to communicate with. The narrow winding stairs to two of the bedrooms was neat and historical but difficult to navigate for the 4 adults that slept in that area, especially with no bathroom upstairs. The front porch was great and we spent a lot of time there. I would recommend this property for 10 people and be sure to bring bug spray!

This property is one of a kind! The pond is perfect for kids to play and fish. Wonderful view while drinking coffee on the porch in the mornings was a great way to start the day. A lot of wildlife to see and trout fishing close by kept everyone busy! The house is stocked with anything you might need for cooking. The owners were very easy to communicate with. If you’re looking for a very quiet, secluded vacation this is the place!
