Girls weekend 24'

Communication was great and check in, along with check out, was very easy. We loved have water accessin the back yard. The neighbors are so friendly and helpful with any questions we had. The spider webs on the deck, chairs, and really all sufaces on the lower deck was a little overwhelming. Other homes around us didnt seem to have as much coverage (some none at all) but we aren't afraid to clean a little cob web off our seat so it wasn't a deal breaker by any means. I can just see how some would be put off. All in all we had a great time and loved being on the lake for girls weekend!

OK but wouldn’t be my first choice

The view was beautiful and the property was at the quieter end of the lake. The fire pit was a nice place to hang out around. The cute little town of Clear Lake is less than ten minutes away and has some fun stuff going on. The property itself was just ok though. The inside was way more cluttered than the photos and the kitchen could have been much cleaner. The interior window sills had dead and dried bugs on them and the basement was full of millipedes, including sleeping areas. All of the decks and outdoor spaces were covered in spider webs and dead bugs. The lake had weeds out beyond the dock and was impossible for swimming. It wasn’t very useful to be on the lake unless you had access to a boat to go out further, and the kayak referenced in the listing was gross. Overall we made the best of our time there, but it’s not really worth it unless you have your own boat. It was a high price to just look at the lake with an unusable waterfront and a house that just wasn’t great.

Beautiful View

The home has a beautiful view! Very close to other houses. Parking is limited but this was placed in the description so was aware. The lake definitely is busy, was nice to be able to park boats on the dock.

Waterfront retreat

Home offers plenty of sleeping arrangements 2 bedrooms but lots of other beds for groups that know each other well. Beautiful and peaceful view of the lake. Be prepared for very tight parking in the garage. I suggest cars or 2 row SUVs only.

Fishing trip

This was a fantastic location for a group of guys on a fishing trip. The long dock was very convenient. The only knock would be about one of the neighbors who seemed to watch us very closely.

Itzhome review

We had a wonderful stay at Itzhome. The owners allowed us to use their kayak and paddle board. They also had many items in the kitchen that made our stay more comfortable. The owners were also very responsive. The view is absolutely beautiful and we would love to stay again sometime. Thank you for welcoming us into your home.

Adventure cabin.

Our family had a blast at this cabin. There were all the necessary amenities and some great extras. This tucked in cabin has fantastic views on the quieter part of Clear Lake. We enjoyed using the dock and water toys, fishing, boating (brought our boat). The cabin had fun seating areas and games inside and out. The beds were cozy, which we find very important and our kids claimed the wifi was zippin'. We enjoyed being there unplugged and loved our stay. We'll be back.
