There are 11 free boat launch ramps around the lake, and individuals can rent boats and personal watercraft from several local businesses. Clear Lake can be found in beautiful Lake County, approximately 120 minutes northwest of Sacramento and 120 minutes northeast of San Francisco.

My husband and I were looking for a place to get away and relax but also focus on some important projects, and this place was great for both. It was nice and big, allowing us to each have space to ourselves when we needed it, and the full kitchen was perfect for keeping costs down. The Wi-Fi worked well, which was crucial for us! The place was spotless and well maintained; it's a great value overall. We were a little surprised that the house is so close to another house on the same property (just a driveway separating them), but luckily it was unoccupied most of the week we were there, and this house's bedroom and living room are on the side of the house away from that driveway, so not a big problem. I wish there were bigger windows to take better advantage of the lakeview, but as is, the place is very private and quiet. For those looking to enjoy the lake, note that there are only a few places where you can actually get close to the lakeshore, some of them a good 40 minutes away or more. There are some other good places for hiking in the area; check out the nearby tourist information centers for more info. Also note that it was VERY hot there in August, but the a/c worked well!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

The house was nicely secluded from the highway with views of the lake. It was very nicely maintained and very clean. The kitchen was well supplied and the appliances were clean and easy to use. The only two suggestions I would have would be to swap out the queen size bed in the bedroom for a king size (even replacing the dresser if necessary with a second nightstand); and updating the quality of the towels etc. The furniture in the living room looks nice but is not too comfortable to sit on for any length of time.Owner response: Hi Sheryll, we're glad that you enjoyed your stay at Heron's Nest and the wonderful views of the lake! Appreciate your suggestions, though the bedroom is not large enough to accomodate a king size bed and we find that the dresser is appreciated by our other guests. The couches in the living room also function as beds and are quite comfortable to sit or sleep on. We provide plenty of sofa pillows for added comfort and there are two chaise lounges in the living room to stretch your legs out on for comfort if desired. Sincerely, Dave and Christy

I have enjoyed both stays at this home. The only problem I have had is parking and turning around my truck with boat attached. I would not recomend this house for anyone with a 18 foot or larger boat without four wheel drive. There is a turn around but it steep on gravel and a very tight fit. A very nice view and overall could not be happier with the accomadations. The owner has always gone above to make the guest stay pleasent and a clean comfortable home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: We're glad to hear that you enjoyed both your stays at Heron's Nest!! We do recommend four wheel drive for guests towing a boat, but have to say we disagree with your comments about large boats. We have had many guests with up to 25 foot boats that are able to get in and out easily without any problem (and we have since widened the driveway area by 20 feet). Many of our guests are tournament bass fisherman and they appreciate all the space for parking cars and boats and the turn-about in the driveway which makes it easy to get in and out while towing a a boat. This property is actually ideal for guests with boats. It requires no manuevering or backing up, just drive straight ahead, and around the turn-about. If towing a boat with two wheel drive, we recommend using low gear and accelerating slowly and steadily. Four wheel drive is not needed for vehicles that are not towing a boat. Sincerely, Dave and Christy

Hi Dave, Just wanted to say, thank you again! The home was fabulous the weather held up for me and we could not have had a better time. The pictures were good but it served the property no justice. Plenty of open space and I cannot say enough about the views. No need to call about anything the information and instructions you provide in the home is very detailed and answers any question you may have. The only hang up we had was trying to close the lockbox again, while its not rocket science it took two of us to figure it out. Lot of laughter but we got it closed. Thank you we had a wonderful time! KhaierstaDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
