The host made everything easy and even offered us an earlier check-in and late check-out! The house is much larger than we expected and had everything we needed, plus fun add-ons like the classic video game console and other board games and puzzles.It was a lovely weekend in a warm and welcoming space :-)

The place was clean and host responded in an extremely timely manner.Plenty of towels/bedding if needed. Games and puzzles to do and 2 tables available. Beds were comfortable and nice quiet area. You could see the lake from the porch. Picture don't do it justice. Lots of things to do and locals are friendly. Would recommend for short or long stay. Home and area are family friendly.

Everything about this stay was exactly as described in the listing except for the host; who was warm and welcoming and incredibly accommodating. The space was perfect for our family gathering. There were blankets and games galore. The space was inviting and clearly a families’ home in the sense of being cozy as well as having anything you might need. We agreed that if Jeff will have us back, this is definitely somewhere we want to come every year.

We had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo! The home was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was great, and we really appreciated how welcoming and thoughtfully furnished the property was.The only thing we found ourselves missing was a microwave for quickly reheating leftovers or snacks. Other than that, our stay was excellent, and we would definitely recommend this property to others and would happily stay here again.Brian and Lori.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this Clear Lake property--it was just as advertised. Communication with the host (Jeff) was excellent and he replied promptly to our inquiries/questions. This property is located in quiet neighborhood close to the lake (literally a one minute walk). There are two (2) spacious gathering areas in the front and rear of the house with plenty of seating (with a nice lake view from the back of the house and the deck). The A/C in the house was excellent--and it was very hot outside during our stay. Overall: great place, we had a wonderful stay, and definitely would return.
