About this property

Restored home on the south shore, offering a nice view from across the street.

We purchased this hidden gem with family getaways in mind. Across from the lake, with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, gathering spaces on each level and a patio in back; deck out front, large families and friends can comfortably stay here. The kitchen is ready for your chef and all linens are provided. Each day you can walk to the beach or nearby park, and in the evening watch beautiful sunsets over the lake from the deck. The lower level will definitely be the hangout spot with a foosball table, gametable, tv area, built in bar and walk out patio with grill, fire pit and flower garden. There's plenty of room in the driveway if you want to bring your boat, and a boat ramp is 2 minutes down the road. Kids will love this rambling home with secret passages in the walls!

Lovely home a short walk to the beach

We loved our visit to your lovely home. Upon arrival we found the house to be very clean on a quiet street just a short walk to the beach. Sara was easy to get a hold of and responded very quickly to my questions. Everything was perfect I cannot say one negative thing about this house. It was perfect for our family.

Two thumbs up!

This was our second year here and we just absolutely love it! Rooms for everyone plus large sharing areas and great outdoor areas, too! Hosts provide so many essentials plus more. And only 2 blocks from a huge beach! We cannot say one negative thing about our stay! Highly recommend!

Short walk to State Park Beach and nice park with playground

Cute home with much more space than you would think. Kids loved to hang out in basement game room. Clean and well-appointed with almost anything you could need. Extra fridge in basement was great! Comfortably slept 14 of us. Would certainly come back!

Cute house. Very clean and all the amenities of home. Only drawback was the upstairs bedroom setup you had to go through one of the bedrooms to get to another bedroom. Loved the disco hallway though!

Amazing Lake home

Sara's home was perfect for our long weekend stay. The home is immaculate, has tons of room and is perfectly situated in Clear Lake and close to activities and a quaint, picturesque downtown. Our hosts were quick to communicate and cared about our stay. I recommend their home without hesitation. Amazing place.

Great house and hosts

The house was super clean and had tons of space. The disco ball hallway was a favorite (nice touch :)). Firepit, nice back yard, lots of games, foosball, etc. Close to public beach area and a short drive to downtown. Hosts were very accommodating and easy to work with. We all had a great time!

FANTASTIC!

A great family home for making memories with great conversations. The beach is walking distance and neighbors have a joy to meet. Lots of space to enjoy time to yourself after playing games or talking around the fire. We hope to rent next year.

Family Reunion

We were in Clear Lake for a family reunion. The accommodations were perfect for the 13 of us staying there. There were many little touches that made it feel like home away from home. The only thing I would say is that the stairs might be difficult for an elderly person. We loved it and would definitely recommend it!!!

Perfect home for family gatherings!

Wonderful and welcoming home in Clear Lake Iowa! All the right touches to accommodate adults and children! Outdoor toys for the little ones, lots of beach toys and even a cooler for trips to the beach, patio for all to gather for barbeques while watching the kids play in the large back yard. Perfect!

Perfect Vacation Home

We had ages 9-65, and eveyone had a wonderful time! The house was amazing and we all loved the hidden passages in the upstairs! All the decorations were cute and it was a beautiful, comfortable home with all amenities! We brought 2 boats and were able to park them in the driveway and on street. Nice ramp to put in and park just a few miles up the road ( Off Crane). Will definitely try and stay here again!!!
