Cute cabin located in perfect location near lake!

PatrickRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Diane was so helpful and sensitive to what we needed over the weekend. She was available anytime. Sadly, I was in town for funeral services. But Diane and Clear Lake in general helped out so much. Such a fun town with amazing food and great music over the weekend. I’ve been all over the world and everywhere is unique. What stands out the most with Clear Lake is that people are just living their best lives, kids are playing, there is great food and great music in a lake atmosphere. The Tiki bar was a perfect place for a night cap. I look forward to another visit!

The house was so much bigger and charming than the photos showed. Beautiful furnishings, warm, clean and spacious. We chatted with the host prior to arriving and she was super responsive and helpful. Perfect location, 3 blocks from the center park area, and safe to walk. Lots of room for the kids to run, I'd stay here again!
