About the host

Hosted by Jacob Hackman

Host profile image
Co-owners Jacob, Nicole, Isaac, and Emily Hackman are four cousins who love Clear Lake and have spent many weekends here in the summer growing up.

The idea for “Norb’s Nest”—our vacation/rental home—came about a few years ago at Christmas while all gathered at our Grandpa Norbert’s house for the holidays. While gabbing over a glass of our aunt’s homemade wine, it came to light that the four of us separately had interest in acquiring a rental property. Flash forward many months and many conference calls later, we acquired our Clear Lake home and began creating what is now known as Norb’s Nest.

Our Grandpa Norbert’s home has always been a gathering place for our family. A cozy, welcoming home full of laughter. As new hosts, we wanted to extend a similar energy, offering a gathering place for family and friends. We curated our property to serve small and larger groups and facilitate people coming together. We would love family or groups of friends to make our property their annual gathering space—that special getaway that everyone looks forward to each year.

Why they chose this property

Charming, nestled in a serene neighbored, perfect for families or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. This property features a spacious fenced in backyard, ideal for outdoor gatherings and relaxation.

With plenty of living space both up- and downstairs, there is plenty of room to spread out comfortably. The excitement and amenities of downtown Clear Lake are a short walk or drive away, offering the perfect blend of peace and convenience.

This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-full bathroom home can support both smaller groups who are looking to spread out yet have ample community areas all the way to larger friend and family gatherings or reunions, comfortably sleeping 10 people.

Enjoy the whole 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home to yourselves!

What makes this property unique
