  We have stayed at this house numerous times now and we will definitely go back. The house is wonderfully warm and inviting, both in Summer and Winter. It is extremely comfortable with plenty of room to relax or have a gathering of friends. It also accomodates those friends very well. We have 2 children, ages 8 and 2 and it has served our needs - with kids beds and a crib with linen, there was no need to take all that with us!! We have and will continue to recommend this fabulous vacation home, be it for a week-end or a week.

  I rented the house for my sister bachelorette party, and it was a perfect house. There was plenty of space and lots of room to sleep. Plus the kitchen was amazing, made my job as the host and chef a lot easier. The views of the lake are incredible. We had a great time.

  Recommended for: Girls getaway.

  Owner response: Thank you for staying at the Keystone Lake House. We are so happy you all had such a good time. We look forward to hosting you and your guests again soon.

  We really enjoyed our stay in this house. The house is huge with ample space for a large group and best part is that is right on the lake. Our evenings were spent sitting in the backyard facing the lake and enjoying few drinks while watching the sunset. Kids had a great time biking in the backyard, playing soccer and enjoying the lake (including the small private beach). The owners were very nice and easy to deal with and the whole vacation went without a glitch. Only one suggestion about groceries, the store across from the house has everything but make sure you check the dates on perishables items since we noticed many expired items. For larger grocery requirements better to buy from Sentry in Nice (5 miles north so not a big deal). Highly recommend this house to anyone with a large group looking for a peaceful and relaxing setting.

  Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Thank you so much for sharing your vacation with us. So happy you and your guests had a wonderful stay. Sorry about the perishables but I guess we all need to look out for that. Also the beach next door is not ours... but no worries... glad you enjoy it. Thanks again and we look forward to hosting your vacation again.

  This house has everything you need for a great family get away. There are wonderful bedrooms, a huge well stocked kitchen, a fantastic great room with enough seating for a big family, a great big comfortable deck on the water and lets not forget your own dock and pier. If that is not enough for you there is an upstairs apartment to add that privacy and space that every family reunion needs with terrific views of the lake. Everything about this house says quality and comfort. We chose this house for our large family even though we already own a house on the lake. Thanks Fred and Sandi for a wonderful weekend and taking care of all of our family needs.

  Owner response: Thank you very much for your kind words and we really loved having you stay with us at The Keystone Lake House. We look forward to seeing you again and again. Sandi & Fred

  The Keystone Lake House get-a-way is fantastic for a weekend with your girlfriends. With no kids or husbands nearby, we ladies had an awesome time visiting, laughing, eating and drinking. The little store across the street was a treat with all the fresh meats. We cooked up a storm in the large, well equipped kitchen while watching the sunset over Clear Lake and listening to tunes. Tons of wildlife kept us intrigued and the views were magnificant! Hiking and visiting the nearby wineries, superb. Clear Lake feels like a million miles away but is really close to the Bay Area. Highly recommend.

  We stayed at this house over a weekend with a group of 12 people. I can say without exaggeration that it's one of the nicest vacation homes I've ever been in. The photos really don't do it justice. The "Great Room" is absolutely gigantic. You could host 30 people in there if you wanted. It's full of beautiful hardwood and large windows looking out on the lake. The deck and pier are wonderful. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all roomy and well-appointed with big beds. One of the bedrooms even has a spiral staircase up to a loft! Highly recommended.

  We were greeted by the owners Sandi and Freddie a very energetic couple who demonstrated extreme pride of ownership with our welcome walk-thru. The house was immaculate and well equipped to suit our vacation needs. Each of 4 bedroom suites are unique and the craftsmanship throught the house is high end. We loved to entertain our guests both indoors and out and the kitchen was conducive to either. We look forward to returning again next year.

  We had the privilege of staying at the Keystone House last summer for a family reunion of sorts and were just absolutely stunned by the layout of this gorgeous property! Meticulously designed and appointed. Every room is a suite with its own personal touch and the optional suite upstairs is just INCREDIBLE........Words could not do justice to describe the views of the lake and the sunset from up there!!!!! Must see for yourself!! This home also has a very nice kitchen and appliances making meals a cinch as well as a pleasure to prepare. An open and airy greatroom and deck provided more than enough space for everyone to spread out and relax......or get together. Its owners, Fred and Sandi are some of the nicest people you could ever meet. If you're looking for a place to help you relax and just forget about all your stresses for a few days ......THIS IS IT!!!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thanks again Fred and Sandi for helping make this family reunion a very pleasant and memorable one that we will not be forgetting anytime soon. Will be returning in the summer.

  continued and the Kitchen, it has everything you need, Honest. The Bedrooms are Huge Suites!, I kid you not, You will sleep like a baby. Also the kitchen is a Gourmet's delight; you will want for nada,not a thing, nothing. Also let me mention the Dining Room; It fits us all. The Great Room is spacious but we are either at the lake on the Patio, for Happy Hours : ) It is always 4:00 some where in the world, right! The Huge Covered Patio is perfect for lunch, and I mean Covered It is perfect. They I believe provide citronella candles; however I always try to find the pretty citronella Lemon scented candles, pretty ones in pottery dish, But we never needed them! The kids were either jet skiing or using the boat... plenty to do Water Skiing seemed to be the highlight for all who wanted to Ski Clear Lake is known for its glassy water, Hit it early in the morning, and again early evening... Well the skiers will find their rhythm ... ; Be ready your kids, well just try to get them off the lake. They will show up for meals... or not.... It is just a very chill gorgeous Home; Mini Mansion, or Estate The Property is well maintained, the entire Home is spotless, especially the Bathrooms; and the Kitchen, It is really immaculate. And the Property is huge, I personally was wishing it was my home, for well the entire stay. We found the owners Mr and Mrs Freddie Herrera extremely accommodating available for any questions we had before and even made themselves available during our stay. We did not find it necessary to call upon them however. I woul not hesitate to highly recomend this property to any family, groups of couples, I would like to do it again, We are watching the availability dates closely. I am thinking of so many dates and trying to coordinate the gang's schedules so we can do it; same time, same people. Well I can dream right?

  What a perfect place for a family reunion! The kids learned to water ski and bate a hook. Some of us learned (reluctantly) how to clean fish! IF you like to cook, the kitchen was a dream. Evenings spent out on the back porch having drinks reviewing the days events, and planning the next days activities. And if the activities were a bit to strenuous...there was always the option to soak and relax in a big spa tub. Would we go back? YES!!!!
