About this property

Custom lake home, dock/boat lift, private beach, sleeps up to 15 see description

  • Newly constructed, custom waterfront home: 4 bed, 2.5 bath, sleeps maximum of 15 based on sleeping arrangements, two car garage, washer and dryer, personal 30 foot beach, private dock with lift, a boat ramp directly across the bay, and free Wifi!

    Welcome to The Fox Den, a waterfront property overlooking Ventura Bay and Clear Lake. The Fox Den got its name from the the original 1940's cabin that sat on this property and the baby fox that lived under this front porch when we purchased the property. While staying here, you will enjoy the beautifully wooded, quaint atmosphere of Ventura Heights, while just minutes away from Clear Lake's local shops and down town, lake-life atmosphere. Whether you're here to fish, enjoy water sports, walking the trails, or just spending time relaxing with family, this home is sure meet all of your needs!

    Bringing the kids, no problem! We have a pack'n play, convertible booster seat/highchair, extra bibs, and extra wipes (we've all been there!) Forgot something? We hope to have extras of most things you'll need during your stay. There are folding chairs, life jackets, etc. in the lower level storage closet.

    There is a 2 Stall Garage with 2 car driveway. There is a public access on one side of the property that is available for additional daytime parking.

    MAIN FLOOR: Zero entry from garage to main floor. This floor consists of a powder bathroom, kitchen, great room (with a sleeper sofa), TV, and deck overlooking the lake.

    2ND FLOOR LOFT: Enjoy a view from the 2nd floor balcony that overlooks the main level and a full wall of windows looking directly out to the lake. This floor has a full bathroom with a double-sink vanity and shower. One of the bedrooms on this floor includes a full over full bunk bed with a twin trundle bed underneath, sleeping up to 5. The other two bedrooms each include a queen bed overlooking a picturesque wooded area.

    LOWER LEVEL: The lower level consists of a living area with a queen pull out sofa, a TV, and a spacious patio overlooking the lake. This floor has 1 bedroom with a queen bed, and one full bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and washer and dryer!

    This property is strictly non-smoking. No parties! We want you to have a blast, but ask that you respect all of our lovely neighbors. This home is proudly owner-managed. Text, call, or email us with questions!

Inside house was clean and beds comfortable, pull out couches not so much. Could use fans in the bedrooms. Had a lot of crawling "inch worms" that got into the house. Trees above outside deck dropping alot of stuff on to patio tables, furniture that needed to be cleaned multiple times. BBQ grill hadn't been cleaned recently and no cleaning tools. Should be cleaned by staff when they come in to clean house. Nice to have a dock to use. Nice area, peaceful lake area in the evening. Kitchen well stocked with cooking items, utensils.

Weekend Away

We had so much fun at this beautiful home! Parking was a little tricky with many people coming from different directions but we were able to park cars at the boat dock. We loved all of the room the house had to offer as well at the variety of kitchen items they had for us to use. The communication with the property manager was fantastic. It was just what we were looking for!

Great Clear Lake House

Home was exactly as pictured on site. Beautiful! Plenty of room for 6 adults, a two year old and newborn. Kitchen was nicely stocked with everything you need to cook. Nice walking trails nearby and even tho other homes around, it was quiet and peaceful. If we head back to Clear Lake in future we would definitely book again!

Amazing home on the lake

We had a great time. My son was on the dock fishing the entire time we were at the house. He went through a whole bucket of minnows and couldn’t count how many fish he caught. House was very clean and beds very comfortable. We will definitely book again the next time we come to visit family.

Beautiful Lake view Property

We were impressed with waking up to a beautiful view of the lake. It was such a relaxing atmosphere sitting out on the decks. The walk out lower level was such a wonderful feature so you could go right out to the dock. The little ones especially loved playing in the sand. The place is also very well equipped with everything you need and beautifully decorated, making us feel at home. .

Nice location on the lake. The well water had a smell to it. The homeowner did communicate well with how to troubleshoot. It says it sleeps 15 but there is no way you could sleep that comfortably.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It works great for our family. While staying in Clear Lake we had some issues with our boat. I reached out to the owner for any help with who to contact, she was very helpful. We greatly appreciated her help in finding someone to assist with our boat.

Fox Den

It was a wonderful place to stay and our family loved it!! Water quality wasn’t the best. It was mucky and had lots of seaweed. But the kids enjoyed the beach and the smooth lake for skiing and tubing. The house is awesome. Parking is an issue.

Perfect reunion house

My siblings and our spouses all gathered for the Labor Day weekend. The house is lovely -- airy and full of light. The view over the lake is spectacular. It was the perfect place to spend time as a family. Though we all live in Iowa, we had never been to the Clear Lake area. We were all really impressed with the lake, the Clear Lake community and particularly Mason City. The Frank Lloyd-Wright house museum and hotel are a must-see!

Beautiful home with a view!

A beautiful home with everything you could possibly need! The windows looking out to the lake gave us the most spectacular view for a late night storm with big cracks of thunder and lightening. The kitchen is fully stocked, every room sparkling clean, and the surrounding area was fun to stroll. Property owner was quick to respond to my questions. The beds are comfortable and though the house is big, gathering spaces are so cozy. Five stars all around!

The host family was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. They thought of everything when it comes to hosting a family with littles! Including a high chair to Johnson’s kids soap in the bathtub was impressive. Our family fit perfectly in their house. Everyone had their own space and privacy but the way the entire house is set up, we never felt like we were separated because of the open floor plan on the main level with the lofted space upstairs. We truly appreciated the set of 2 outdoor tables with comfortable chairs and umbrellas to fit our family. We spent a lot of time there eating meals, admiring the view, and watching/listening to the sights and sounds in a peaceful setting. Our toddlers enjoyed playing in the bedroom with the bunk beds and reading together. We were impressed with the access and quantity of bath towels, garbage bags, shampoo/conditioner…. I know it sounds simple, but it’s much appreciated! Also, knowing there was access to the use of a washer and a dryer was awesome, but the host family even had detergent available. Very considerate! Our family loved the easy access to the lake and the use of the dock. We took full advantage of having the lily pad. We would highly recommend this location to anyone!
