Christmas Getaway

It was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend maybe a bath mat in the upstairs bathroom. It was kinda slippery in the tub. But overall it was a beautiful house and it was very cozy.

Perfect place for a short hunting trip. The entire place is clean and modern, very cozy and well laid out. Even better than the listing description. Owner/ manager was very responsive to communications. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

Comfort at the Lake

We needed a last-minute place to stay for a family emergency. The host was very helpful and responsive, taking some stress away. The home was actually bigger than expected and cozy to come “home” to each evening.

Ventura home near lake

Lots of room for two families with young kids. Front deck is comfortable, plus a fire pit out back. Dock is okay for fishing and tying up watercraft -- but water there is not good for swimming. If you don't mind driving (or biking) the five miles to the town of Clear Lake where the beach and most of the attractions are, this is an affordable option.

Great stay

My family frequents the Clear Lake area all year long. This is our favorite place to stay! It’s in a great location with a lake view. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with nearby highway access if needed. The house is fantastic for two small families and a dog to share with plenty of room. Kandice was great to work with and was accommodating to our requests! We will continue to stay over and over again.

Overall a cute house

Overall the house is in good shape. The front and back storm doors need replaced. Since pets are allowed was expecting a fenced backyard but is not fenced. The appliances are new but the dishwasher did not clean the dishes well.

Lake house get away.

This place is cute, nestled right on the hill side of Clear lake. Has a lake view from the house with a large front deck. The house is super comfortable and plenty cozy for those cold nights and a very quiet neighborhood. The house has been recently renovated and looks like updates are still being added. Can’t say enough good on how much everyone enjoyed their stay. We appreciate the hospitality and can’t wait to get back up to the area.

Nice getaway

We really enjoyed our time in Ventura. The private dock and boat slip were exactly the extra features we were looking for. Plenty of beds with a nice homey atmosphere. A fire pit would be nice for the evenings in the future.
