"Not the fanciest hotel but cozy and felt like home! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable with clean and soft sheets. Excellent shower power and hot hot water. Safe area with plenty of fast food and sit down restaurants within walking distance. The included breakfast had lots of options including different breads/bagels with plenty of spreads, assorted cereals, biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage, pancakes or waffles and assorted tea and coffee. This place is a solid option in Clear Lake - would stay again."

"Our stay in Ventura was a great spot for us and some of our friends to get together and enjoy a weekend at the lake. We loved looking out at the lake from the covered patio and being able to walk across the road to fish, as well as up the road for ice cream at the Viking ;) The house was comfortable and we appreciated all of the yard games they had available to so we could enjoy a relaxing weekend with friends at the lake."

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed this beautiful place. Appreciated the dock and boat lift. The beach was disappointing as it was weedy and dirty and the deck and patio were dirty from the trees but we cleaned it up several times. Not much you can do about that. Trees needed the dead branches cut out which might have helped a little. The inside of the house was clean and very nice and supplies there were great. Windows really needed washing on the outside. Will stay here again."
