The quaint and clean retreat is located in an idyllic spot for a relaxing time away from everyday stress. The lake lives up to it's name. The depth around the dock is just right for wading, playing, or jumping into a kayak. Our host communicated clearly and quickly, displaying a sincere desire for a pleasant stay. ##### John P.

Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Step Back In Time This cottage was here when I visited Clear Lake 60 years ago. It has been updated to make the stay of today’s families comfortable, while still retaining the charm of being a “cottage”. We loved seeing a bit of the history of the lake while enjoying the lovely yard with private beach and dock. It was the “ gathering place” for all my family members, some of whom stayed in cottages across the lake. ##### Donna B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert P.

This clean and comfortable cottage is quaint and extra effort has clearly gone into making sure every need is considered. There is a very nice nature preserve within walking distance and we enjoyed our hike there. The beds are very comfortable providing a wonderfully good night's sleep after long days in the water. Our weekend experience afforded our family an opportunity to make some very happy memories! ##### MariClare O.
