Peaceful lakeside oasis

We absolutely loved our stay again this year at this little slice of lakeside heaven!!! The home is clean, well organized and well stocked. The firepit has ample seating to enjoy sunsets. We spent hours relaxing and reading on the deck, with the umbrella providing shade when the beautiful trees didn’t as the sun move across the sky. The kitchen is very well stocked and we have found over the years we have stayed that we lack nothing. The small fridge in the porch is excellent for beverages while keeping the main fridge for food. We will definitely be back, we love our annual trip here!

Watkin’s Lake Home

The Home is very nice and the decor is great. They have everything you would need to just bring your suitcase and enjoy the scenery this home has to offer. Enjoyed seeing the pelicans & herons daily! Loved the different gardens that are around the property and the large deck was a bonus! Thank you for a relaxing week in your home! Pam Wirth

Lakeside Oasis

We loved our time at this beautiful lakeside oasis! The home’s layout is comfortable and provides plenty of sleeping spaces. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil and cooking dish you could possibly need. The gardens around the property are so beautiful and peaceful. The fire pit provided plenty of sitting space for lovely relaxing evenings! The lake is weedy so swimming wasn’t on our agenda, but we enjoyed being out on the water in our boat and spent lots of time fishing! The kiddos enjoyed catching little sunnies off the dock :) We’ll be back for sure!

Great property.

The pictures on VRBO don't do this property justice. The property is just beautiful, from the decor inside to the landscape design outside. The lake was another story. Our reason for choosing clear lake was to fish for walleye or fish we don't have in our area in Iowa. The invasive species problem made it impossible to do. I hope they find a solution. We still managed to enjoy ourselves however because of the great property. Would not hesitate to book again.

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful week enjoying your beautiful lakeside home! It was so very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was stocked with every imaginable piece of cookware, bake ware and dishes! Our favorite spots were the sunroom and deck where we enjoyed the evening sunsets overlooking the lake. A great home for a family vacation!

Wonderful cabin on the lake! We have been coming for years and plan to come back next year!

The property is on a wonderful lot! Close to the public landing for us to put the pontoon in. Lake is a little weedy in the area beyond the dock, but the lake association was working on clearing weeds throughout the week we were there. We found our fishing spot 😊. Early morning walks alone the road were peaceful. Enjoyed watching the birds come and go from the feeders on the property. Spacious cabin 😊. We will be back next year 😊

Cannot wait for our next stay!

We loved everything about our stay! The home was very comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed daily walks and seeing neighbor’s gardens and landscaping. The home has plenty of seating indoors and out, many different areas to relax with a book, enjoy the fire pit, or watch the gorgeous sunsets! The kitchen was well supplied and had plenty of space for us to gather and prepare our meals. We also enjoyed local Restaurants. We didn’t want our week to end and cannot wait to be back!

great place to relax

Great place to vacation! House is fantastic and now with the added deck, the place is perfect. second time vacationing here! Quiet neighborhood, perfect for a relaxing get away! Hard to tell what the lake would be like without a drought going on, but that is the only downside for us, was that it doesn't have a lakefront entry to walk in and swim the last 2 years, perhaps better when the water is at its normal level? Go and enjoy!
