Spaciuos, welcoming home near Stae Park beach perfect for families and groups.

We purchased this hidden gem a few years ago with multi-family getaways in mind. Situated across from the lake with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, gathering spaces on each level, a patio in back and deck out front, large families and/or groups of friends can comfortably stay here. We have hosted many family reunions, including our own, since opening up this home to lake vacationers. So many memories have been made through the years. What happens at the lake, stays at the lake is our motto!
The kitchen is fully stocked for creating meals together. All linens, paper products, soaps and shampoo, hair dryers and fans are provided. Truly, all you have to do is pack a bag! Enjoy the convenience of a washer and dryer, as well as 2 smart TVs for all your streaming needs.
Each day you can walk to the popular State Park beach, take the kids to the nearby park, or check out all Clear Lake has to offer. Relax in the evening watching beautiful sunsets over the lake. The lower level is a wonderful hangout spot. It features a foosball table, game playing table, tv area, 2nd kitchen with built in bar and walk out patio with grill, fire pit,(wood provided) and flower garden. We have yard and board games, kid's bikes, stroller, wagon, large rolling cooler, beach toys and towels, so there's no need to pack all that! The main floor has 2 bedrooms with queen beds, and a bathroom with tub and shower if there is anyone in your group unable to manage a lot of stairs.
The driveway has ample space for a truck and boat trailer, and a boat ramp is 2 minutes down the road for quick and easy access.
If you are searching for a clean, cozy space that will take you back to easier, slower-paced summer days at the lake, this is it. Did I mention the quirky secret passages in the walls? You definitely need to check them out!
Billy and I love hosting guests from all over the country and take pride in providing a well cared for home for others to enjoy.
Book your Clear Lake stay with us and make some lasting memories of your own.

Two thumbs up!

This was our second year here and we just absolutely love it! Rooms for everyone plus large sharing areas and great outdoor areas, too! Hosts provide so many essentials plus more. And only 2 blocks from a huge beach! We cannot say one negative thing about our stay! Highly recommend!

Lovely home a short walk to the beach

We loved our visit to your lovely home. Upon arrival we found the house to be very clean on a quiet street just a short walk to the beach. Sara was easy to get a hold of and responded very quickly to my questions. Everything was perfect I cannot say one negative thing about this house. It was perfect for our family.

Amazing Lake home

Sara's home was perfect for our long weekend stay. The home is immaculate, has tons of room and is perfectly situated in Clear Lake and close to activities and a quaint, picturesque downtown. Our hosts were quick to communicate and cared about our stay. I recommend their home without hesitation. Amazing place.

FANTASTIC!

A great family home for making memories with great conversations. The beach is walking distance and neighbors have a joy to meet. Lots of space to enjoy time to yourself after playing games or talking around the fire. We hope to rent next year.
