Fabulous house!

We were in town for a horse show in Mason City and always try to stay in Clear Lake - such a fun and cozy town! The house is beautiful and decorated so professionally. Everything that you need is there, and located in a great spot within walking distance to the lake, town and parks. We loved our stay and hope to be back again soon!

Super Cute and Cozy

We have a summer cabin in Clear Lake, but wanted to come up for the kite festival. We rented the Cozy Klinge cottage and it was delightful. The family had a great time and the house is super cute and cozy.

Why they chose this property

This home is very important to my family. The property has been in our family for nearly 100 years and is newly renovated. It is 1 block from the lake, 2 blocks from the Surf Ballroom, and 3 blocks from City Park.

What makes this property unique

Why is our place unique, just see what a recent guest had to say..."The house is updated with the comfort of an upscale resort and attention of detail from the kitchen, family room, fireplace, bedding, towels and shower are first class. The is the perfect spot!" When referring to the perfect spot, the guest is referring to being in the "golden triangle": the lake, City Park, and the Surf Ballroom are all close by.
