Great Stay

This was our 2nd year staying at the property--can't beat the location and the house is big enough for 4 adults to each have their own room. Will be back next year!

Family Thanksgiving

The home was welcoming and easily accommodated all of our family of seven's Thanksgiving activities. The close proximity to downtown and the park was a great plus. We were very pleased with the facilities, hosts, and our stay.

This home was wonderful! Loved the front porch! Easy access to beach and downtown. The house provided so many things that we didn't have to bring or buy when we arrived. It really met all of our needs. Would highly recommend for families.

Lovely Property blocks from lake & downtown

We had an excellent experience with the host, and the property was perfect for our extended family group. We visit family in Lake Mills, IA and will definitely choose to stay here over the hotels in Worth. Would highly recommend.

Loved our stay here! The location is perfect. Walkable to the lake, restaurants, and the brewery. There is a small grocery store one block over. The hosts were very responsive with questions and the home was exactly as described. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean, well appointed, great location

The property was very well appointed, beds were comfy with quality bedding, and the bathrooms were a good size and had everything we needed. The location was great for walking downtown and it was very close to the lake. The only problem we had was when we put the heat on high enough for the upstairs rooms, it made the downstairs bedroom too warm. It all worked out OK though. I would definitely stay here again! The hosts were quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had.

August stay

Property is close proximity to the downtown beach area which is really nice. The house was consistent to online pictures. The communication with property manager was good and all went according to plan. The only negative of our stay was the intense amount of fruit flies or other bug on the outdoor patio/back door as there are trees around the house. I assume we just hit our luck bad with that though and were there on a weekend the weather caused the bugs to be bad as I did see a lot downtown as well. Overall a great rental experience!

Porch was a beautiful place to relax, chat, and play games

Communication with host was very good. Location of lovely home was really just minutes from anything we wanted to do. Downtown is actually walkable distance, too. Kitchen area well stocked with attractive dishware also. (We utilized restaurants but everything was provided if you wanted to cook your meals.) Bathroom and bedroom spaces beautifully decorated and functional. Parking in front, on a quiet street- or on the lot next to side entrance, was very convenient (especially for unloading and loading cars after stay) Would highly recommend

This property is a gem.

Our family loved this property. We walked to the lake, park, and downtown and enjoyed time on the front porch. The communication with the host was exceptional and we appreciated all of their extra touches in the home. We will highly recommend this property to our family and friends.

Perfect Spot!

The house is beautiful. Comfortable, thoughtful...that relaxing vibe. It is in the middle of town. Walkable to all the shops, the beach, the restaurants. It was perfect for our purposes (old) college pals and our teen kids. They had the freedom they needed to go about town and we were able to just chill in adorable Clear Lake. Clear Lake was not on my radar screen at all--the pandemic had us scrambling to find a spot and we thankfully ended up here. We will be back.
