Location: Clearlake Oaks, Clear Lake, North Coast, California, USA (Approx.2 hrs to Mendocino Coast, San Francisco & Sacramento)
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
From within the cottage or on the wraparound deck you'll enjoy BREATHTAKING VIEWS of Mount Konocti and Clearlake, California's largest natural lake.
The North Shore Cottage is one of the very few vacation rentals with such a fantastic view that has NO CLOSE NEIGHBORS!
The cottage is a modest, unpretentious home but is very cozy and comfortable. (SEE OUR GUEST'S COMMENTS)
We are located on the North Shore of Clear Lake, above the road (Hwy. 20) approx. 80 feet from the lake.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck while watching the early morning fish jumping in the lake, along with the INCREDIBLE ARRAY OF BIRDS and in the evenings a glass of wine while enjoying the gorgeous sunsets. Don't be surprised to see deer, wild turkeys and our resident jackrabbit feeding in the yard and hillside!
During the evenings you might enjoy a concert at Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa, dining at local restaurants or you might prefer to stay in and prepare your own meal at the house in the fully equipped kitchen.
Indulge in wine tasting at our many local wineries, or perhaps you might try your luck at one of the Indian gaming casinos, visiting the two state parks, museums and planetarium.
Our guests often reward themselves with a visit to the famous hot mineral waters and mud baths at Calistoga. (approx 40 min drive)
It is definitely worth taking an afternoon drive through the California Redwoods to the Mendocino Coast. Make it a priority to visit the beautiful and unique Botanical Gardens and the scenic fishing village of Noyo Harbor at Fort Bragg.
WINTER IS A WONDERFUL TIME TO SPEND AT THE LAKE. Build a fire in the large rock fireplace, (wood provided) have a glass of wine or mug of hot chocolate, put on some music, (CD's provided) kick back and relax.

Hello Jeanie! We had a wonderful time (again) at your house at the lake! I never miss a sunrise and this wasn't an exception. Well, alright, so once or twice I watched without getting out of bed, if that counts! :) It amazes me every time how good it is for our health; mental and physical. Even getting a little morning sun on the deck was good for me. We took lots of photos, from one day when a storm blew through, sunsets, sunrises and birds. We had planned some others but felt pretty lazy once we got there :) Thank you once again for the lovely visit, WE HAD A WONDERFUL, RELAXING WEEK. Sheri

Jeanie & Steve, Thanks for the use of your cottage, it's been most delightfull. We enjoyed it greatly, especially the privacy and solitude, and the front deck is a treasure. Mahalo, Fay & Lloyd Jeanie, We received the deposit refund check today. The whole Clearlake experience has been good for us. I PARTICULARLY ENJOYED THE MOONLIGHT ON THE LAKE AND WATCHING THE GREBES FEED. It was great to have your bird books as a resource. The welcoming bottle of chardonnay was consumed with relish....how did you know that was my favorite? Aloha, Fay

Jeanie, Thank you so much for your hospitality...everything was perfect and we will miss it very much. Our vacation at your lakehouse was amazing, we couldn't have asked for more. We would LOVE to come back in a couple of months, but for a longer stay. THE VIEWS ARE SPECTACULAR, the house had everything we needed, your movie and music CD collection was superb. We haven't felt so relaxed in quite awhile. We didn't have time to play yahtzee or pictionary but we will next time! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Karla & Jared
