Loved the view and fenced in dock. It was comfortable and great for our dog to get to sit outside safely. If it was not raining, we would have sat outside every chance possible. But we enjoyed the view indoors too! We also loved how little light pollution there was so we cold enjoy the stars at night. Want a quiet and peaceful place to stay? This is the place for you!

Perfect Spot for a Fishing Getaway!

We loved our stay here! The property was exactly as advertised. Clean, comfortable, and in a great location. One of the highlights was being able to fish right off the deck we caught plenty of fish and had a blast doing it! The house had everything we needed and everyone in our group was comfortable throughout the trip. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with great fishing and a place to unwind, this is it. We'd definitely come back!

we love this cottage

Surprisingly tucked away near the shore- fun, clean place, which is a great getaway. It’s so pleasant with the amazing view of Clearlake and the Hills to the north.
This was around 9:30 last night. Just gorgeous.
we saw a lot of fish being caught right across from our little dock. There is a small warm spring island that must attract them.

Cute and scenic

The house is cute and the view from the back deck is beautiful! We used the kayaks to paddle around the little islands and check out the springs just in front of the house. My husband and daughter caught fish right off the dock. Our dog was very happy there as well, however we did use a tie out cable because the fence isnt very tall and i didnt want him roaming the neighborhood. It was a perfect place for our lake trip!

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.
