SHORT STAY

A very nice place. Very clean and comfortable. Only thing is that the coffee pot is difficult to use. Maybe get a new coffee pot or write directions that it takes a while before you can hit brew. Thank you!

weekend getaway

The home was comfortable. The bathroom was pretty small but for a weekend...not a problem. The lake was just across the street and the town was easy to get around in. The parks were beautiful and everything was neat as a pin.

Even great in the winter

Used for one night while we went to a concert at The Surf, so even we didnt enjoy the lake we could see it. The price was right. Perfect distance from the Surf. Enough room for 6 adults. Had everything you would need to entertain. Looks small on the outside but the inside had lots of space.

Perfect Little Cottage

It is conveniently located and it has all of the things we were looking for and even some we weren’t! Coffee in the morning and a little bar to go with it was a highlight! The fire ring in the backyard was a nice relaxing activity after driving there. Super to work with- will stay here again if we are in the area!

Great place for a quick family getaway

Cute little cottage with a homey feel. Although rain and wind kept us off the lake for most of our stay, the comfortable furnishings and well-stocked game closet kept us entertained.

First time to Clear Lake

This was our first time Clear Lake and this was the perfect location for everything we wanted to do. It’s perfectly located to the beach both the State Park beach and City Beach. A very short drive to downtown and we found the perfect public golf course. Little Blue is also a little gem. Just the right size for us and very well stocked with everything we needed. A lovely home that was very comfortable, clean and offered us the relaxing time at home after our time out and about.

College gathering

Wonderful place to stay. Only thing is to make sure whoever is staying there does not turn deadbolt on accident on way out. The owner had husband come and unlock door for us. Please tell him we appreciated it! Good idea might be to leave keys to kitchen door in a secret place. We had a great college gathering!

About the host

Hosted by Sara

Host profile image
I love house projects and decorating and always enjoy a little vacation getaway! I decided why not put it all together and have a vacation home!

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because of the small town charm of Clear Lake and the location to the lake and downtown.

What makes this property unique

Less than a block to the public lake access. Less than a mile to the state beach. A mile from all downtown shopping fun!
