Beautiful home. Very comfortable. Everything as described
Our elderly ladies take a once a year trip. This year it was Clear Lake/Mason City area. Absolutely great place to visit. We took in concert at Surf ballroom, toured Mason City, and did the Clear Lake boat ride. Only complaint was we didn't have more time to just seat on patio and chill. Very nice place.

Convenient Licationnin Clear Lake
Good place to stay in Clear Lake if you hsve multiple interests. Located by the Tiki Bar, Miniature Golf Course and Beach. Distance is easy to downtown and surf and out of the hectic area. Clean house with comfortable beds and living situation. Parking a little tight and in busy street but two spaces and manageable. Owners care and checked in. Situation arose out of control of owners and they managed expeditiously and with class!!!

Great Escape
This property was perfect for my friends and I. It was spacious, very nice and a great location. All the necessities were provided like soap, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, paper towels, and cleaning supplies. There was a fire pit behind the garage. Lots of outdoor space and a huge patio. Definitely recommend!

Cute Cottage, Clear Lake, IA
Nice, clean, roomy. Large open kitchen, dining room, living room area. Bedrooms on opposite end of house, so did not have to worry about disturbing those sleeping. Only downfalls -- could use a coffee pot and it's by a busy main road. Close to the ice cream shop, Tiki Bar and a dock. Lovely property! We had a great time!
