It is a great place tp stay.

The hostess was very accommodating and was available via phone at all times. The house is well furnished with plenty of seating in the living room, The dining table, and on the deck. The beds were comfortable and each room had a large closet and storage space. The kitchen had everything we needed with upgraded appliances. We spent most of our time on the deck. It was a hot humid few days but we were very comfortable in the shade with a nice breeze. Clear Lake had several new stores and places to eat since our last visit. We plan to return.

This was the perfect house with an awesome deck for entertaining. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a nice meal. Melany was a fantastic host. If we are ever in this area again I will definitely stay here.

Very clean and spacious, nice deck and a lot of amenities offered. I wish we had better weather to take advantage of all this place has to offer

If you are looking for a beautiful home that provides everything you need to relax and enjoy, you have found it. This was our second visit over the past year, and you literally can arrive and start relaxing. Melany is the most amazing communicator and genuinely cares about your stay and that all of your questions are answered. We had suggested a few additions to the dock area after our stay last year, and they were implemented with high end upgrades right away. Access to the lake via the canal is the best since you are out of the wind no matter what. The house is perfect, if you are considering this property, just book it. You won't be disappointed!

This house was a great choice for our friends gathering. Plenty of space for the 12 of us, from babies to adults. The house was well stocked with all the necessities and we are hoping to stay here for our gathering next year.

This was a great place for four ladies to meet for a couple days, although it would very comfortably fit double that number. The host immediately and pleasantly responded to all questions. We’re already planning our next trip to this house.

We had a late holiday gathering for 9 siblings/partners from MN & IA. There was plenty of space for food prep in the well-appointed kitchen, as well as for eating, playing games, and just being together. The bedrooms and bathrooms and large and well-appointed - comfortable linens and towels. Communication with Melany was outstanding - she made it really easy. Had a great meal at GeJo's on Friday night and enjoyed shopping around the downtown area on Saturday, complete with a local brew at Laketime Brewery.

This property met our needs perfectly! Everything was exceptionally clean, which is a top priority for us. All 4 bedrooms were equipped with comfortable queen sized beds--no sagging! We all slept well. The house layout worked well for relaxing/entertaining. Bedrooms and bathrooms are off to one side of the split with a large open area on the other. Kitchen is large, well equipped with lots of seating and space for mingling. The great room, which combines with the kitchen had some of the most comfortable, reclining furniture I've found in any of the rentals we've used. Although, being the end of December we were not able to use the outside facilities, we could see the house was well equipped for oodles of summer, water fun. The deck was huge with a nice view. The home included a large 2 car garage and lots of off street parking, which was nice. Melany was an excellent host! She had everything ready and in great condition. Rather than having a flat rule of no gatherings of people other than the individuals on the lease, she was flexible based on circumstances. This was a huge part of my choosing this home. I fully understand the owners desire not to allow parties where their property could be damaged or destroyed but appreciate Melany's willingness to make individual judgements on this. Our vacations are almost always based on visiting friends and family, so if we cant entertain them (within reason), the property is of little use to us. Due to being busy with wedding prep, we didn't get around to checking in till late, almost 10. Cleaning staff had accidentally locked the door in such a way that our code didn't work. Stuff happens. What was significant was Melany's quick response. She immediately answered the phone and had us into the house in minutes. Having an owner who is available without hovering and prepared for the unexpected is huge, because the unexpected happens regularly! This home would be a fabulous summer rental but served our needs perfectly in winter as well. Thank you Melany! We reccomend both Melany and the property. Mother of the groom

My family of 9 + infant stayed for 2 nights for our Thanksgiving. The house is very comfortable and in a nice, safe neighborhood. We did check out the outdoor fireplace and awesome seating but never had a chance to enjoy. The couch was perfect for a larger group and the kitchen island was well used for snacks and serving breakfast. We fully used the large frig and freezer along with supplied bowls and containers. Everyone in our group slept good. Melany told us about extra table leaves in the closet to extend the table - worked out perfect! I'm sure we will stay again.

We had a great stay with family. Thank you.

What a beautiful and comfortable place, makes you feel at home.

Where to start?! Location, amenities, cleanliness, & communication was by far the best we have ever experienced! Every detail was perfectly thought out by the owner. The layout of the home made it feel so much bigger. Definitely designed for a big family. Bedrooms & bathrooms tucked away giving privacy. Yet, the big open kitchen, dinning and living room allowed more than enough space for the whole family to watch TV, cook, eat and still all be together. The island was our non stop buffet spot. The deck was our after dinner hang out as we as the beautiful fire pit. We took family photos on the deck with the amazing weeping willow tree behind us. Mel is not just the owner, she was beyond helpful and genuinely thoughtful. Felt as if we’d known each other for years! Great memories with family that we haven’t seen in over 13 years, some we’d never met. At one point there were 12 (only 10 stay the night) of us and had plenty of space. Thank you Mel for sharing your beautiful home that will forever be precious memories for our family. ❤️

Great place with everything we needed. We loved the deck and being able to leave our boat on the dock was a wonderful bonus. We enjoyed Jenga on the deck and had plenty of space to spread out. There were even fresh cinnamon rolls to boot! Host had great communication and was very empathic pertaining to recent grief in our family.

This house was a great find. It has everything you need for all age ranges. We had adults, a teenager, 2 toddlers and an infant. The house was very clean. It was super easy to navigate the canal with our boat. The fire pit and chairs were also a big hit. We will be back!

Our families loved their time here. The place was clean, wonderfully furnished, and a g

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay in Clear Lake, where everything is provided and an owner with amazing communication, look no further. Melany is a great communicator and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect. The house was spotless upon arrival, instructions are provided for everything you might need to use during your stay. If you have a boat the best part is that the dock is in the canal, out of the wind and wake, and a very short putter to the main lake. We will be staying again in the future, and highly recommend considering for your next get away.

Very pleasant and comfortable - if you want someplace relaxing this is it.

We enjoyed our short stay...very accommodating...plenty of room with little unexpected extras! Huge nice deck overlooking canel....we would definitely come back!

Had a great time! Everything was as advertised. Nice big garage for all of our gear. Loved the back deck. Reserving again for next year!

Wonderful property on the lake. My friends and I enjoyed a nice weekend of ice fishing. Very clean, well kept property. Nice location. Melany was very helpful with any questions.

My family was able to centrally meet at this great location and home. Communication was wonderful and all the little details surpassed our expectations. Very clean and was even beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Great place ! Clean and great deck abd view of lake. Owner was the sweetest! So pleased with this vrbo we will be back!

Wow, what a great place to get together with family. The place was fully equipped to handle our small group of myself and some of my dad's many brothers. It has everything you need to host friends and family for a couple of days or a week or two. It has an amazing deck overlooking the boat docks in the private canal. We went fishing and didn't catch much, but that was our excuse to get away and enjoy each other's company. Our host Melany was amazing. She contacted us prior to arrival, during our stay, and even after making sure everything was satisfactory and if we needed anything. Truly great customer service. We will definitely be back and highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed!

This was a great home for a few days stay. Located in a lovely neighborhood that is perfect for walks.

Great

Home was nicely furnished, clean and roomy. Really cool recliner sectional and nice cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms. We spent a few hours on the boat and time at the beach and splash pad. Spent an afternoon at the Central Iowa Gardens and tubing with the grandchildren. First time tubers and they had a blast! Groceries, bait shop and restaurants were nearby. Would love to stay again!

Very nice and clean. Nice open layout, plenty of room, great deck and dock. Garage usage very beneficial. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

We had a great time with our family and this house was perfect! Very clean, spacious and it had all the little extras we needed! The deck was awesome! Melany was super easy to work with and she made sure we had everything we needed! Would definitely stay here again!

Was the perfect gateway for a week. Great location on the water. And had all the amenities we needed.

The property was immaculate. Everything was organized. It is the nicest place my friends and I have stayed in Clear Lake and we go yearly for the past 10 years. The deck is amazing. I appreciated the fine attention to detail, such as having ziplocks, aluminum foil and such.

We had a great experience staying at Melany’s lake home. This is the perfect place for families! I was impressed with the safe neighborhood and well cared for homes. My husband and I traveled with our four children (12, 10, 6, and 3), as well as my mom. This house is a multi-level home with a large remodeled kitchen and living space, two bedrooms and a bathroom up from the living room, and two bedrooms and bathroom downstairs from the living room. It was perfect for us! The pictures don’t do the home justice, because it really is so lovely, clean, and spacious. My kids enjoyed having a TV in their room as well as the large TV in the living room. It was easy to log in to Hulu, Netflix, or Prime Video. There were two very nice self-inflatable air mattresses of which we used one for our son. The deck on the back of this home is one of the best features! It is so large with lots of comfortable seating and tables for your family to enjoy! We took advantage of the fire-pit on the lower level of the yard. The house has all of the supplies we needed for roasting marshmallows and hotdogs! It came equipped with camp chairs and life jackets if needed. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it for large groups. Melany was super attentive and easy to contact when I had a question or two. The location is minutes to downtown Clear Lake in a nice family neighborhood. Everything was very clean, the beds were comfortable (with lots of fluffy pillows), the air-conditioning worked well, and the showers were nice and hot, too! We couldn’t have been happier!
