Great for stargazing!

My spouse and I wanted to stay in this area to stargaze with our basic telescope. The cottage has a beautiful view of the sky. A couple of bowls in the cupboard has been put away without being cleaned first, but our stay was otherwise great. Nicole was very responsive and kind.

Wonderful Stay

What’s there not to like about this property?! Everything you could need is at your fingertips. They two kayaks were perfect for my wife and I. Launching them from the private dock was amazing! There is also a little hot spring less than a minute kayak ride from the dock! We brought our own groceries and the house had everything else we needed. We enjoyed all of our meals outside and had a wonderful time using the fire cooking bbq. The welcome binder was extremely informative with a lot of great info! Host left some surprise welcome gifts as well! All in all, highly recommend this home!

House a very spacious lay out with two good sized bathrooms and a really nice kitchen. We were able to BBQ dinner one night while taking in the lake views.

Nice Lakehouse & Great Location

Excellent communication. Place was nice and clean and had pretty much everything you would need. Lake view was gorgeous but unfortunately the algae blooms made the water unswimmable. Other than that, we were able to enjoy the kayaks and had a wonderful time here!

4th of July

Property was as described. Host communication was great. Overall it was a nice place for the price. Issues we had that made this not a 5 star stay: 1. The AC unit is old and must have been off for some time as it pumped hot air the first few hours and took a full 24 hours to cool the house down somewhat. Fans were very limited and didn’t work great. Vents are only located in the center of the house so bedrooms and front living room were very hot. The AC unit could not keep up, we melted the entire stay. 2. Normally this would have been ok, as we were hoping to be swimming in the lake to cool off. However the algae along the shoreline was really thick and continued to be thick at least 20 yards off the dock, so swimming was out of the question. We thought being early in the summer season, the algae would not have been this bad already. We know it gets bad in August. 3. The fishing situation was not ideal because of all the algae. The lines kept getting stuck. 4. The fridge was not cold initially and we had to transfer all of our food back to coolers the first day. Not sure if it was off before we arrived and it needed time to cool down in the heat wave, we made it work with our coolers but not ideal. 5. The gas grill shown in one of the property pictures is not operational. There is a charcoal and wood burning grill available (also shown in pics) but we didn’t have charcoal with us the first night and had to cook indoors which made the house even hotter.

Perfect Location Cute House

We stayed here for 4 days, and had the best time. We were able to dock our boat at the private dock behind the house, and we fished from the dock every day. Would recommend kayaking in the morning, as it was so peaceful and the water was so still. The house itself was so cute. We loved the wine that was left for us by the owners (thank you)! Will definitely plan another trip again.

Perfect Getaway - Beautiful view

What a wonderful stay for a post Christmas/New Years getaway! The weather wasn't perfect but it didn't matter since the house was warm and comfortable, there were lots of games and puzzles and one only needed a hot beverage (also provided) to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The house was clean, updated and the beds were comfortable. We had fun in the kayaks once the weather cleared up. The welcome wine was a wonderful touch as well. Thank you thank you!

Rejuvenating Weekend Away

My family (self, husband, 10yr old, and dog) had a deeply relaxing stay at this perfectly located cottage. The views overlook the private dock, expanse of the lake and mountains beyond. A nearby wetland became ideal for bird watching all day long and a short paddle away and we could watch the bubbling action of natural volcanic springs. It was a perfect getaway to play games, paddle board and kayak, and spend time with family. The hosts were responsive and very welcoming with local wine.

Made for those balmy nights watching the sunset and the stars rise

My favorite spot was looking back to the house and seeing Mt Konocti looming above. But there was also a young family of Northern Goshawks (I think) eager for their parents to come home with supper - an amazing sight and and sound. Sunsets were amazing and we caught a few of the laggard Perseids as they skipped off the atmosphere. For city dwellers seeing the night sky where there is no light pollution is an indelible memory and visual feast of fascination and exploration.

July stay at the Cottage

This was a great location for our family to spend time together. Our hosts left interesting historical information and recommendations for nearby resturants and sights. They even left a wine selection that we enjoyed and other convienient "creature comforts". The cottage is near geothermal features of the lake. We enjoyed all of the abunant wildlife such as the Osprey nest right above the neighbor's house. It was a couple hour drive to the coast for the day and an easy drive to explore closer towns. We enjoyed our get away.

Teen getaway

I took my daughter and 4 of her friends to Clear Lake to relax and get away. We had prefect weather while we were visiting so it was fantastic. We used the kayaks that were at the house and we brought two paddle boards. They had a great time paddling and swimming all day long. The bedroom/bathroom arrangement was prefect. The kids had their space and I had mine. Sunsets and sunrises were spectacular. Also lots of birds to watch. We were able to make simple meals in the kitchen, it had everything we needed. A prefect short getaway for all.
