Clear Lake Property
Our family loved the size of the home and how close the property was to walk to the many activities available downtown. Grab a visitors guide so you don’t miss activities like the farmers market, music in the park and the many specialty businesses and restaurants. Thank you for sharing you home with our family.

This house is decorated for the lake without being overwhelmingly decorated. Older home with a small kitchen and bathroom but perfect for our needs.

Weekend with sisters
We planned a weekend together and this place was perfect. The house is conveniently located to the lake and town. The sun porch was great! This house was clean and ready for us as promised.

Great location
Beautifully decorated house that is close to the lake and downtown. We were able to walk to both places. The kitchen was equipped with new appliances and appeared to be newly remodeled. The stairs were a little challenging going down since I have a bad knee and they were a bit steep, however the bedrooms upstairs were very nice size and very comfortable. Again awesome decor. The bathroom was near the bedrooms on the second floor. We did use the grill which appeared new and was clean. Maybe a note could appear in the house book about instructions for the new kitchen appliances.
