Lakeside Retreat

Come on over to the quiet side of the lake, This 4 bed 2 bath home will be perfect for your summer getaway. This home is only steps away from the shores of Clear Lake. Three of the bedrooms have comfortable queen beds, the kids room has two bunk beds with twin and full mattresses. You can wake up and have your morning coffee while looking out at the lake. We have 2 kayaks and a stand up paddle board that are available to use for a trip down the shore. Bring your fishing rods and catch a few fish off the docks. When you get hungry you can throw some burgers on the grill or hop on your bike and take the bike trail into Ventura to the ice cream shop or woodfired pizza restaurant. In the evening you can play a game in the card room or hop across the gravel road and roast marshmallows in the firepit by the lake.

No smoking, vaping, or illegal activities, & no pets allowed.

The docks #1 - #7 by the lake can be used for fishing and swimming but are NOT available to tie up boats to.

Parking for up to 4 cars is available in the driveway next to the Cabin.

The house was very well located. Everything was very clean and organize. We had a great time with the kayaks and paddle board. Big selection of games for the kids to play.
