Waterfront Lake House, doc, kayaks
Our stay at Miguel and Fannie’s home was wonderful! The home was cozy and the amenities were more than enough and the view of the lake from the living room was breathtaking. The patio has two fire pits and plenty of seating. The dock was an amazing spot for fishing and there was an abundance of fish. We will definitely stay again when we are back in the area. Thank you for your Hospitality!!

Pau Hana Retreat! Views Lakefront Forest Private
We had a fantastic stay at this lakeside cabin! The location is absolutely stunning—right on the lake with truly incredible views. We spent our days kayaking (there’s a tandem and a single kayak available), relaxing in the hot tub, and enjoying meals on the deck with the water just steps away. It’s also quite private, which made it the perfect place for our group to unwind, play guitar, and sing late into the night without worrying about neighbors. The kitchen was very well stocked, which made cooking at home easy and enjoyable. And for wine lovers, this is a great base—we visited 6Sigma Winery for their private tour and tasting, which was absolutely worth it! There are a couple of things to be aware of: The lake water was murky, so we didn’t swim. And at night, the mosquitos/bugs were intense—huge swarms would gather around the lights. A helpful tip: keep the doorway lights off at night and use the outside lights away from the door to draw the bugs elsewhere when going in or out!

Entire Lake Front Home, Private Dock! Come Fish!
This was a nice a cozy place to stay. It was well stocked. It is not a convenient place to access stores. Not a deal breaker. It was cold and the water was very poppy so we could not take advantage of the Kayaks or paddle boards. We were there for business so it was not that big a deal. Overall-very beautiful on lake view. Nice place to relax and enjoy the water view.

Spacious Retreat with Mountain Views!
The airbnb is beautiful, peaceful, and the kitchen is well equipped. The views never get old. It is located to great hiking trails just 5 min away and a local grocery store. Holly was quick to respond and address any issues I had. She was very accommodating and hospitable. Would highly recommend this place and want to come back with family for the holiday's!

Luxury Lake Front 3br/3ba with Hot Tub & Boat Lift
This house was just absolutely awesome. I went up to bass fish with two friends, and it was one of a kind. The boat lift is a must for any fisherman looking for a house. Location was perfect, views were great, and the house was really, really comfortable. This will be my top option from now on anytime I go to Clearlake.

Beautiful lake house w/ stunning sunset views!
What a great house. Fantastic location right on the lake. The deck and the pier to the boat dock are amazing! The house is very cozy and comfortable. There are lots of different seating arrangements/places to hang out (inside and outside). The kitchen is super well-equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. Overall, this is a great find. We had an enjoyable and relaxing time here. We will be coming back.

RnR on the Lake - an oasis in nature!
This lake house was perfect for our family of 5 and our holiday weekend getaway. We felt like we hit the Airbnb lottery. It was spacious and cozy at the same time. Our two older kids enjoyed the 3rd bedroom with the daybeds which also had all the toys, books and games. We appreciated that extra touch since we didn’t have to pack any of those items from home. We also appreciated the convenience of having a pack n play for our toddler. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate families as well as fur babies! We brought along our pug and it was great knowing he was welcome. Our weekend was relaxing and peaceful (as much as it can be with young kids). We fished all weekend long and lost count of how many we caught! The location was ideal and we didn’t leave the house all weekend. We even used Instacart and DoorDash for some groceries and meals. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. I could go on and on about how amazing everything was. Thank you Carrin and Stan! 10/10 recommend

Lake House, Boat Dock, Backyard Paradise Getaway!
Hi Constance, I wanted to thank you for being an amazing host! My stay at your Airbnb was fantastic. The house was clean, cozy, perfectly decorated and I loved the neighborhood and location views. Your communication was super helpful, and made my stay even more comfortable. Thanks again for your hospitality I'd definitely recommend your place to others and would love to stay again!

Views! On the water! Spacious!
This home exceeded our expectations and was exactly as described. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, which was perfect for us since we enjoy cooking our own meals. It was a thoughtful touch to provide trash bags, laundry detergent, and even shampoo. As a family of fishing enthusiasts, the guys had a fantastic time on the deck, catching crappie, catfish, and bass. We’re eagerly looking forward to our next visit!

Lakefront Guest Suite with Spa and Dock
The was just as the pictures and description showed it… It was the most relaxing weekend we had had a long time… Being able to be right on the water and catch fish off the deck was the best part of the trip. Highly recommend.

Cottage in the Keys
If your in town to fish, this is a great place to stay! Very clean, amazing stocked kitchen, comfy bed, and great amenities. An extra plus was the boat parking on the dock, and the kayaks. We had a great weekend! Very nice hosts as well.

Red-Tail’s Golden Egg l Inspiring Lake & Mtn Views
This house is great as a relaxing getaway with a beautiful deck and lake view. It was super cozy and the hosts really thought of all the amenities. You'll want to pick up groceries, use the great kitchen and stay in. And really read all the info provided in the listing. The hosts were also very easy to communicate with and we really appreciated their quick responses.

Fish Right from the backyard. Spacious Home.
Omg! Where do I start…the house was inviting, organized, and clean. The patio deck was phenomenal and easy access to the water. Kari was very attentive to our needs. The only downfall was the flying bugs (gnats). Other than that my family and I enjoyed ourselves. We will rent again.

Modern Waterfront Home in Lucerne
We had a wonderful stay at this lake house! It was peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful views and easy access to the water, perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. We especially loved the fire pit seating on the deck. The beds were comfy after a day outdoors. The host was very accommodating.

Your guide to Clearlake
Welcome to Clearlake
Clearlake borrows its name from the 68-square-mile spring-fed lake on which it is perched. And Clear Lake is no average body of water. At nearly half a million years old, it claims the distinction of being the oldest lake in North America. Formed by volcanic activity, there is still molten rock underneath it, which helps keep the water warm — it’s especially balmy during the summer — and deposits nutrient-rich sediment, creating an ideal breeding ground for fish. Clear Lake is often named as one of the best fishing spots in the country, especially for giant bass and catfish. All summer long visitors flow into little Clearlake and the other waterfront towns that dot the lakeshore to swim, kayak, and paddleboard. (Jet skis are allowed, too, if speed’s your thing.) But swimming in a prehistoric lake is not all that’s on offer here. You’ll also find small-town charm, world-class wilderness, and a booming wine scene. Turns out that volcanic soil is good for more than just fish.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Clearlake
Summer is high season in Clearlake, when hot weather makes for perfect days on the water. In spring the crowds recede a bit, but the sun still shines and wildflowers bloom in the surrounding forests. In fall the leaves change color, the temperature drops, and local communities celebrate harvest season with events such as Kelseyville’s Pear Festival, held the last Saturday in September. Winter is cold, and snow blankets the nearby mountains.
Top things to do in Clearlake
Winetasting
Lake County’s first vineyards were planted in the 1870s, but Prohibition halted wine production and the industry stayed dormant until the 1960s. Now the region that includes Clearlake is rife with more than 30 wineries and nearly 9,000 acres of high-elevation, volcanic wine crops. The area has especially earned a reputation for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc wines. You could easily spend a day circumnavigating Clear Lake and sampling local sips along the way, but if you’re feeling less ambitious, just head over to Kelseyville, which is home to more than a dozen tasting rooms.
Mendocino National Forest
Pack a picnic and head out for a day hike in this 913,306-acre wilderness. The forest is home to soaring conifers, verdant meadows, and cool lakes, and is exceedingly tranquil — it’s the only park in California’s network of 18 national forests that isn’t crossed by a paved road. Deer, black bears, jackrabbits, and bald eagles are just a few of the animals that live here, and throughout spring and summer, wildflowers such as California poppies and lilacs paint the grasslands.
Clarke’s Collectibles Lunch Box Museum
Drive 30 minutes north along the lakeshore to the village of Nice (named for the region in France, although it’s also a nice place to visit), home to one woman’s obsessive collection. More than 900 vintage lunch boxes celebrating classic TV show characters to disco are displayed throughout a brightly colored storefront, alongside salt and pepper shakers, Hot Wheels, and other kitsch. The museum is free and open to the public, but it's a good idea to call ahead and make sure it’s open.
