    The bugs were outrageous though. Other than that it was a great place. The house was nice, spacious, clean, and we loved it!

    Very nice unit on a quiet part of town. Easy to get to highway and to the Main Street strip to downtown, Vancouver. Inside, the unit was clean and very nice. Comfortable and warm. The SAUNA was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. I definitely will be back next time I visit.

    Sweet Cottage! Myself and my service dog/companion enjoyed our stay. So nicely decorated and had everything I needed. As a former Property Host for 6 years, I enjoy seeing how others do things. I'm from Mason City originally and came to visit family and friends. This was perfect for us!

    We came to Clear Lake to do some ice fishing. It was very close to Farmers Beach, which was very helpful. The house was beautifully updated and had every amenity we needed. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with. Would love to return in the summer to utilize the beautiful outdoor space!

    We stayed here in mid-October, so we missed the inevitable summer vacation crowds. The town and the lake were quiet and charming. The house was clean as a whistle and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well-equipped and fun to cook in; people can sit at the bar and chat while meals are being prepared. The deck off the living room and the nice patio behind the house offer outside gathering areas. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. My cousin and I — both in our 70s — loved this little getaway cottage!

    Kitchen was very well stocked, which we loved because we prefer to cook. The house was very clean and had everything you could possibly need. Nice quiet neighborhood but close to the lake. My only suggestion would be new mattresses for 2 of the bedrooms. The master bedroom mattress was fine but the other queen mattress and twin need replaced. I would definitely stay here again.
