Celebrate family

My sister, husband and I came to celebrate our elderly mother’s birthday. We found the house was the size we needed with the 2 bathrooms. At first we were a little concerned with the second bathroom in the basement, but it worked out fine. The dishwasher was a huge plus for us, and we enjoyed having the island to prepare meals. My husband was able to do a load of laundry, which made him happy! The home was comfortable, and the location was close to our mother’s. It’s also walkable to the surf, and downtown for some exercise. The neighborhood was quiet except for the occasional train, which we found nostalgic rather than unpleasant. 😊

Great House

The house was perfect for our stay. Was a short drive to downtown and the house had all the appliances, dishes, etc. that we needed. Had a very comfortable atmosphere. The owners were very prompt with responding to any questions we had. Would recommend staying here.

Lake house

Place was perfect. Carols communication as good as it gets. The enclosed porch is better than the pictures show. Would rent again for sure. Watching a Hawkeyes game on that porch in the fall would be great. We were able to get to and from the carnival/city beach in 5 minutes.

About the host

Hosted by Larry and Carol Prescott

Larry and Carol Prescott are life long residents of North Iowa. Larry is a retired farmer and Carol is a retired office manager. Larry is a home body and Carol likes to travel. We both love to spend time with friends and family in Clear Lake. We enjoy boating, bike riding, walking, eating out and listening to live music. Larry is a trustee at St John Lutheran Church and Carol serves on the Ventura Public Library Board of Trustees. We have 3 adult children and 7 grandchildren. We are blessed! Our life is full!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as a getaway from farm life, especially in the Winter, and extra space for family gatherings. We love being on the farm North of Ventura in the Spring, Summer, and Fall so decided to “share” our Lakehouse Happy Place with others. We love the quiet kid friendly neighborhood, the short walk to park with our dog Khloe, the convenience of being so close to what’s going on in Clear Lake. Someday it may make sense to move off the farm and we will have a house we love in town.

What makes this property unique

We love the architectural design of the windows in the living room which lets in lots of light year round. The windows match others homes in the North Shore and Shorewood Hills area too which is a nice community connection. We love, love, love the large screened in porch! It’s such a nice relaxing space to gather and enjoy fresh area without being bothered by bugs. It’s nice for kids and pets to have a large area to frolic and play.
