    The host family was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. They thought of everything when it comes to hosting a family with littles! Including a high chair to Johnson’s kids soap in the bathtub was impressive. Our family fit perfectly in their house. Everyone had their own space and privacy but the way the entire house is set up, we never felt like we were separated because of the open floor plan on the main level with the lofted space upstairs. We truly appreciated the set of 2 outdoor tables with comfortable chairs and umbrellas to fit our family. We spent a lot of time there eating meals, admiring the view, and watching/listening to the sights and sounds in a peaceful setting. Our toddlers enjoyed playing in the bedroom with the bunk beds and reading together. We were impressed with the access and quantity of bath towels, garbage bags, shampoo/conditioner…. I know it sounds simple, but it’s much appreciated! Also, knowing there was access to the use of a washer and a dryer was awesome, but the host family even had detergent available. Very considerate! Our family loved the easy access to the lake and the use of the dock. We took full advantage of having the lily pad. We would highly recommend this location to anyone!

    Nice location on the lake. The well water had a smell to it. The homeowner did communicate well with how to troubleshoot. It says it sleeps 15 but there is no way you could sleep that comfortably.

    Emily and Matt were amazing hosts! A big storm came through the first night we stayed and lost electricity and water for almost 24 hours. They brought over a generator and lots of water! We loved being right on the water and the view is amazing. Lots of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. We usually ended up each night around the campfire outside. Will definitely stay here again!

    Fantastic property right on the calmer part of Clear Lake. Perfect for a relaxing getaway, the views are amazing from indoors or from the balcony or fire pit.

    We had so much fun at this beautiful home! Parking was a little tricky with many people coming from different directions but we were able to park cars at the boat dock. We loved all of the room the house had to offer as well at the variety of kitchen items they had for us to use. The communication with the property manager was fantastic. It was just what we were looking for!

    We had such a great time with our Children and Grandchildren at this beautiful home. Very accommodating and comfortable for our family of 10. We had to dodge rain showers but were able to spend time at the beach and many Clear Lake parks. We attended “Thursdays on Main” and had hoped to tour the Lake on a Lady of the Lake tour but both tours were cancelled while we were there. Maybe we’ll get a chance to enjoy a tour next time.

    We had a great time. My son was on the dock fishing the entire time we were at the house. He went through a whole bucket of minnows and couldn’t count how many fish he caught. House was very clean and beds very comfortable. We will definitely book again the next time we come to visit family.
