About this property

Pyramid House Rates as low as $25 per Room

Wow ! You must see us now with about $40,000 in remodeling and improvements including new roofs, carpet, drywall and painting. You could say we cleaned house too and have new management and cleaning services that is 100% better than before. You will be impressed with MY PYRAMID HOUSE !

You must see this unique, one of a kind property is shaped like a Pyramid. It is commonly referred to as "The Pyramid House ". It is a huge 5,600 square foot house comprised of three levels of living space. The house has a total of 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

We have welcomed as many as 30 guests with 22 people in beds and about 30 people when you use couches and air mattresses. Three of the bedrooms have king sized beds in them. The 4th bedroom has two queen beds in it and the 5th bedroom, considered to be the family suite has one queen bed, two double beds and a single lofted bunk bed. The 6th bedroom is one of the most popular bedrooms as it is perched at the top of the Pyramid House and contains a queen, a double and a single bed. This popular room has various windows on all four walls and serves as a observation level. The most talked about feature is the $10,000 glass point/top/roof at the very pinnacle of the Pyramid House. At night people can on most nights gaze up at the stars and feel the cool breeze blow in no matter what the direction the wind is blowing since there are windows on all four walls.

If the house is TOO BIG house can be separated or duplexed into a 4 bedroom suite (3,600 sq. ft.) and a 2 bedroom suite (2,000 sq. ft.). There are separate listings on VRBO for these two other options at lower prices.

The house comes complete with a theater room with wet bar, a party room or banquet room that seats 30 people and a large patio that can accommodate 50 guests for that large BBQ.

If you are looking for Clear Lake’s largest rental home that will accommodate your family/group, all under one roof then look no further. We are great for family reunions during the summer or for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or for the holiday gatherings. Families book the Pyramid House for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas because not only do we sleep a lot of people, we also act like a VFW Hall or party room at a hotel as we can accommodate extremely large numbers in our banquet area with 2nd kitchen on the ground level.

This level has handicap access to this party room and the entire 3,600 square feet which also includes the theatre room and 4 bedrooms ( 2 king beds, 3 queen beds, 2 double beds and a twin bunk bed) and two bathrooms. This ground floor level can be rented out as our 4 bedroom option with a separate entrance if one desires to save a little money. This option and our 2 bedroom option are also available on VRBO with different property listing numbers.

Most people choose the whole house because they need the 5,600 square feet of living and MY PYRAMID HOUSE gives families plenary of space and comfort. Gives us a try and see all of our improvements since July of 2018. Our new management and cleaning service, Clear Lake Cleaning Company, are doing a great job and customer satisfaction has been outstanding since we made the switch.

NOTE : Calendar Price Reduction for Offseason Long Term Rates : $150/$200 per day.
I have also added Off Season Rates ( December 1st to May 15th ) for companies or groups that need a less expensive rate for a longer stay of 2 weeks or more. If 2 weeks is too long of rental period then message me to negotiate.

We hope to see you in the future !

Thank you for your time and consideration.

First Family Reunion: 30 people, from 4 states - 3 nights

Mixed feelings. Because of my amazing family, we had a good time. If all went well, we'd make it an annual visit at the Pyramid House. Well-turns out, we won't. First of all-the large house handled 30 of us with enough parking, in/outdoor seating, a large kitchen, 2 cooking areas, plus the location and Clear Lake itself -fantastic! Not surprisingly, there were some minor issues: exposed nails, dirty curtains, no screens, patio door didn't latch, coffee pot didn't work, filthy grill utensils left outside, bathroom lock didn't work. Also- worse issues: bed with no slats so mattress unstable, basement door did not lock, lots of spiders, and mouse droppings. The maintenance was poor: AC not working, furnace filters wrong size/filthy. These things can be fixed with proper maintenance. The biggest problem : we had difficulty with Joe (Jody) -the owner (same person?). Poor communication. He was "tired"/driving/family issue when I'd ask a ?, did not respond. Online info is not accurate. Bed layout- etc did not match the description online . AC was not working. Joe told me the AC was fixed, but it was not even connected. It took 1.5 days and multiple calls / texts to get AC fixed. Joe told me I could cancel the VRBO reservation due to dissatisfaction, get a refund, and rent the home next door, privately from him in cash/VENMO. In this way, he said he wouldn't have to pay VRBO his contracted $. He said he was trying to "help" and wanted no bad review. It didn't feel helpful.

Just One Suggestion

Overall the home was a wonderful place to hold our annual celebration of all the holidays in one long weekend. The only suggestion I have for the owner to update the stove on the main level ( it takes forever to boil water) and you need more pans and cookware. It was extremely difficult to cook large meals. The house is very nice and location was great. The parking was great. Most properties don’t realize that you need ample parking for different family members coming from many locations.

Run down

This property needs a tremendous amount of work. The perimeter has evidence of water damage. The front door is uninviting. There were mouse droppings in the kitchen drawers. Not much yard to enjoy socializing in. But it was unique to stay in. The kids enjoyed the large TVs. There was plenty of space for everyone. All of us can brag about living in a pyramid.

Pyramid Reunion

It's unique in its shape! The decor inside is very fun and keeps with the Egyptian theme. The main kitchen is really large and accommodating. The bathrooms are okay--adequate, but arranged a little awkwardly. We had trouble with the AC when we arrived but the owner and onsite manager went out of their way to deliver us from the 90 degree heat. The bananas that were left in the kitchen invited an army of fruit flies :( Staying at the house was a fun experience.

Few structural problems-rain caused roof leak over bunk bed-had to relocate persons sleeping there, door seals not good -many BUGS came inside, ice maker not working, ran out of paper products such as toilet paper ,paper towels ,etc Overall lots of parking space and family space. We had a GREAT WEEKEND!!! Thank you.

50th wedding anniversary celebration

The accommodations were huge. Beds all over!!! Due to the fact that we paid a LOTof money for 3 nights for this VRBO we expected more. Many light bulbs were missing, we ran out of paper towels, the area behind the refrigerator upstairs was a mess, The water pressure in he lower bath shower was a dribble. The plates and silverware were clean but we had to wash all bowls and pans before using them.. The beds.were not made. The carpets in the lower level smelled wet and musty.

This place is absolutely amazing! The photos do not do it justice. Very spacious and perfect for large groups. The property manager was extremely understanding and accommodating.

House needs work! Great location though!

The property needs lots of work and was under renovation while we were there. There was no way had enough beds/rooms to sleep 30 like advertised due to the renovation. Pictures do not show proper condition of house. General house cleaning was not acceptable. Really loved the layout and especially the location of the house! Great fun town with lots to do! Swimming, boat rentals, cute shops, lots of fantastic small town feel restaurants with family friendly atmospheres! House layout great too..hope this property gets into shape! Owner was apologetic, but still a lot of many to pay for substandard conditions.

Great location for a family gathering! Nice to have everyone under one roof!

This house is very unique and we had a lot of fun with a group of 16 from ages 17 to 83! The house was very clean. It was very beneficial with a large group to have 3 different family rooms during a rainy day to watch college football, golf and baseball at the same time. The house has three different kitchen areas which was nice to have the extra refrigerator space. The larger kitchen and dining area was spacious to prep food and allow us to eat together. The dining room then met our needs for card and board games. We had an amazing weekend and enjoyed the Pyramid house. We would definitely recommend this house and location for a gathering of family and/or friends. The location is also excellent as we walked to the Surf Ballroom and Museum and to downtown Clear Lake! We will definitely be visiting Clear Lake and the Pyramid house again!

Unique property, needs repair work.

Thirteen adults stayed at this property April 13 - 15, 2018. The first night there was a heavy rain, the roof leaked in various places around the entryway, water ran down the walls into the lower level two front bedrooms, water soaked ceilings, walls, floors and soaked two of the beds making them unusable both of the nights.Three people had to sleep on couches in other areas of the house. The lower level bedroom in the NW corner of the house had a very musty smell, so there may have been moisture or water damage in that area as well. The second night there was a snowstorm and some kind of animal sought refuge in the ceiling of the lower level kitchen area, running around and scratching and apparently trying to get out. Obviously we did not use the lower level kitchen area the second night, just closed the door to the living area. The snow removal truck arrived the next morning to clear the driveway and front steps of snow and ice, however the front stairs were still very icy and there isn't any hand rail anywhere on the front steps to navigate safely. There are two decks off of the main living area, however neither of the decks have any railing around them. All of these items were conveyed to the owner on April 15, 2018 who promised a partial refund of the rental fee as compensation for the problems experienced. Text messages were sent again on May 20 and again on June 28, but no refund has been received as of July 16, 2018, more than 90 days after the rental dates. The response given is that he will check with VRBO. It seems that VRBO needs to check on this property and this owner.

Clear Lake - - was FUN!

We had such fun in Clear Lake! There was much to do! A great worship service in the park, Thursdays on Main (complete with food trucks and bounce house), Surf Ballroom and the beautiful clear lake! Our family enjoyed the spacious Pyramid House with 4-6 bedrooms. We had plenty of cooking space and utensils. The owner is working to keep things in good repair. The backyard and side yards are small so we kept our croquet to the front :)! Our own personal disappointment was not being able to find a dock for our boating needs, however. And there are 3 beaches on the lake but not readily available to the house location.. Somehow - we managed to get swimming anyway!!
