Ideal Vacation Spot!
We had the best girls weekend getaway! The location can't be beat - just a block walk to the lake front and a two block walk downtown and to City Beach. The kitchen and patio were awesome and having two bathrooms and cozy, comfy rooms was perfect. We all want to come back again!

Great Lake House!!
This is a beautiful home and a great location! Just a few minutes walk to the lake, park, restaurants, brewery, stores and The Surf. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Loved the extra touches such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, coffee, etc. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We had a great week vacation at the lake and would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous house!
We were in town for a horse show in Mason City and always try to stay in Clear Lake - such a fun and cozy town! The house is beautiful and decorated so professionally. Everything that you need is there, and located in a great spot within walking distance to the lake, town and parks. We loved our stay and hope to be back again soon!

Super Cute and Cozy
We have a summer cabin in Clear Lake, but wanted to come up for the kite festival. We rented the Cozy Klinge cottage and it was delightful. The family had a great time and the house is super cute and cozy.

Lovely accommodations
This home offered provided a comfortable stay for our family group of three siblings and their partners. Additional sleeping space in the living room accommodated a niece and nephew, both young adults, who stayed with us one of the nights. The home is comfortably furnished and the kitchen well stocked for basic meal preparation. The hostess was responsive to any questions or concerns.

Perfect location
We had 6 women in our party for a weekend trip to enjoy the Harvest Festival. The house has everything you need & I appreciate the extras that some rentals do not provide. The kitchen was fully stocked with nice dishes & silverware and the bedrooms had adequate outlets, comfortable beds & mirrors (women will understand) the location is perfect for walking down town or to the beach. We will stay again.
