Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. Lots of stairs inside and out. The pontoon was old but the engine was oerfect. That's more important than anything else. Really enjoyed being on the water.

Comfortable and attractive accommodations with lovely view even in winter

We had a delightful stay with our out of state kids and grandkids in this well equipped and lovely home on a lake even in winter. The multi-level accommodations were versatile and open with great views of the lake. We were very comfortable and impressed with how well the place was stocked and strength of Wi-Fi.

Fantastic Family Friendly Getaway on the Lake!

We had a wonderful time at your beautiful cabin on Clearwater Lake! We were so impressed with how clean and tidy everything was, easy check-in/out process, variety of games and toys for all ages (bonus points!!), spacious rooms, easy access to the lake and close to town and various restaurants made for a lovely winter getaway for our young family this holiday season! We enjoyed lots of ice fishing, Board games, watching football, family meals together, movie night and so much more! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us - it was PERFECT!! Can’t wait to come back for more family memory making in the summertime!! Cheers!!

A lovely place on a great bay of Clearwater Lake

We spent 3 nights at this lovely home on Clearwater lake. I visited with my parents and my mom’s siblings, all of whom have a long history with the lake and the area. The house accommodated the group well. The beds were very comfortable, the owners provided all that was needed, and the decks were lovely for sitting and watching the sunset. We rented the pontoon for a day and did a cruise around the lake, which brought back many memories. Kayaks were available for use as well. The owners were very communicative and responded quickly to any questions we had. Highly recommend this property!

The cabin is very nice and has a great floor plan! The 4 bedroom areas were nice and private and it was great having 2 large tables for eating and cards and game playing. Despite the rain, we got out fishing with the pontoon several times and caught bass, northern and crappies. Enough for fish tacos for 10! We love all the “comfort” that you add-extra blankets everywhere, comfortable beds and bedding and plush towels. Kitchen had spices and some condiments in the fridge available to use. Also awesome to have the use of 2 refrigerators and laundry. A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR WONDERFUL HOSTS!
