The Downtowner

KateRating, 5 stars9 months ago

The Downtowner house was perfect for a weekend at the lake! The location is wonderful- so easy to walk to the beach and downtown. The house was clean and had lots of amenities. The hosts were quick to communicate with and gave clear instructions. My kids appreciated the books and toys. The neighbor lady next door was very friendly too- she greeted us minutes after we arrived! One thing to note is there are a lot of stairs and no way to block them so it could be a little risky for small kids. Overall, we would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again.

Clear Lake Escape

MorganRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had such a wonderful stay at Kelsey’s place! The house was exactly as described—and somehow even better in person. It was the perfect spot for celebrating our Bride-to-Be, and the entire bridal party couldn’t stop raving about how adorable and well-decorated the home was. The location was great, and everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. Kelsey and Chris were both incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!

Clear Lake Cottage - 1/2 BLOCK FROM LAKE

JackieRating, 5 stars10 months ago

we really enjoyed our stay at the lake house. pictures are exactly as described. The house is warm and inviting, felt just like home. Bonus was the long driveway that could accommodate a truck and boat so we didn't have to find street parking (which there isn't much in the area). 10/10 recommend.

Rustic 8 Bed+Arcade+Near Lake+Firepit+Poker table

ScottRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had seven of us staying here for a WWII Warbird Trainer flying clinic for 3 nights. We did not spend a lot of time at the home due to long training days, but was a great place to relax together before getting a good night’s sleep for the next day’s activities. The home has lots of space and bedrooms for sleeping/privacy, plus enough bathrooms for showering etc. Stephanie is a most gracious host and went the extra mile to make sure the home was all set for our stay. We would definitely like to use this home again for the next flying clinic.
