Historic Home With Modern Amenities - Great for Families with room for up to 18!

The house was very clean and lots of effort had gone into presenting the history of the house, including a fun scavenger hunt for historical items.

We were able to check in early after contacting the host. The house is beautiful and big enough for us all to spread out and enjoy. and the dining room table was big enough for all of us to eat and play games at. so many houses we have stayed at have very little seating. this house had plenty not only in the dining room but also in the two sitting rooms. The kitchen had everything we needed. Will probably book again when needed for our family get together.

Such rich history and beautiful craftmanship!

Kitchen was great. Just one note: the dish soap bottle only contained water. We couldn’t find any more so I dumped the water and left the empty container just in case you needed it to just refill (which is what I do at home). Otherwise it was fine.

Had a great time and the size of the home was great for our big group!

The house was very clean and well stocked when we arrived. Our family reunions was at the community center in Ventura, but the Clausen house served as a gathering spot for the brothers and sisters to visit. We loved the location as it was easy to walk to plenty of entertainment and shopping. There was plenty of parking. This was our third stay at the Clausen and I am sure there will be plenty more. The next family reunion we hoping to rent the yellow house and the school house. Myron and his family are lovely host.

You can't go wrong in renting the Clausen Home. This Historic home has been beautifully remodeled and is a very comfortable, relaxing place to stay, especially if you are traveling in a large group! The home is conveniently located in town and in a location where you can get to many attractions very quickly. We love staying here every time we visit Clear Lake.

We loved staying at the Clausen House. It is a beautiful Victorian Home, with antiques and remnants of that past era sprinkled thru out the home. I suggest that anyone that stays there, should take the time to read the literature available about the history of the home and the restoration process. Our family celebrated Christmas there this year. The home was decorated with Christmas decorations and a big beautiful Christmas tree in the living room. The Open stairway was lined with Christmas Garland, great for pictures of the Grandkids. It was a charming and cozy atmosphere. My Grandchildren loved having a sleep over with the whole family. There was 16 of us and plenty of room for all of us to have a relaxing and comfortable stay. Myron is a fantastic host. There are lots of amenities. Everything you need is provided. It is close up town, but also a very quiet neighborhood. I hope to have a family get together there again. Thank you Myron for everything!!!!

Beautiful house that was nice and clean throughout. The hosts were great the whole time staying in communication with very easy check in and out. The location is a very short walk from the lake and everything else around clear lake. Highly recommend

I have always enjoyed the large two story homes that were built in the mid to late eighteen hundred’s. The Clausen House is one or those homes and is a joy to experience and call home for one week out of the year. This home is located in the small and friendly town of Clear Lake, Ia. with its rich musical connections to the music of the fifties.

The property was great. Everyone enjoyed the antique feel of the grand old house while the necessities, kitchen and bathrooms were nicely update. We loved the dining room table that let all of us sit together. The entire property gave us lots of room. We enjoyed having a fire outside in the evening. The owner was so accommodating and thoughtful. We recommend the property.

The home is huge, accommodating and filled with history while being comfortable. Unfortunately a family gathering needed to occur due to a family member passing. The owner was incredibly accommodating to a change in family coming to the funeral/needing to stay at home. The home itself was perfect for family meals, gathering and relaxing, so we were able to reminisce about our loved one who passed. Highly recommend property.

What a great weekend at The Clausen House! We had 8 adults and 8 grands under 8 yrs old! The location was in the heart of the town and the Lake for easy walks to shops, coffee, beach and splash pad, city park, Fire Museum, Freedom Rock and Central Gardens to name a few. The house easily fit our family with plenty of room inside and outside to enjoy family fun! Myron, the owner, was always a text away for questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Very clean historic house that we will always remember the fun times we had and the memories we made!

This house was the most equipped VRBO we have ever stayed at and we have stayed at plenty! This is a great rental for a large family six bedrooms all queen beds plus more! We had a family dinner for 12 at the family dining room and had all the pots and pans to cook for everyone. The grill was fabulous. They had plenty of games indoor and out for kids. This house had everything you could possibly need!
