Condo with Private Balcony and Harborage View!

DavidRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great stay, beautiful place. Nice to have pool/hot tub area. We went in what I would say was the 'off season' so not a lot of busy at the lake. Clear Lake downtown area had some good bars/restaurants.

The Downtowner

KateRating, 5 stars9 months ago

The Downtowner house was perfect for a weekend at the lake! The location is wonderful- so easy to walk to the beach and downtown. The house was clean and had lots of amenities. The hosts were quick to communicate with and gave clear instructions. My kids appreciated the books and toys. The neighbor lady next door was very friendly too- she greeted us minutes after we arrived! One thing to note is there are a lot of stairs and no way to block them so it could be a little risky for small kids. Overall, we would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again.

Downtown Lake Cottage - Built in 1900!

PeggyRating, 5 stars3 days ago

This is a lovely spot in Clear Lake - a convenient, walkable location near the lake, the beds are comfortable, and all necessary amenities were provided. We noticed we needed something late on our first evening and it was provided right away the next morning -- very responsive hosts! We all enjoyed our stay and were pleased with the cleanliness and thoughtful touches in the home. For any light or late sleepers, this house is on a busy road.

Clear Lake Escape

MorganRating, 5 stars5 days ago

We had such a wonderful stay at Kelsey’s place! The house was exactly as described—and somehow even better in person. It was the perfect spot for celebrating our Bride-to-Be, and the entire bridal party couldn’t stop raving about how adorable and well-decorated the home was. The location was great, and everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. Kelsey and Chris were both incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!

Charming & Spacious South Shore Retreat

KateRating, 5 stars11 months ago

My family and I really loved the place. I have never stayed at a rental that provided so many amenities. They thought of everything! We fit 9 people comfortably. Walking distance to ice cream isn’t the worst thing either.
