Great location, the house is set-up well for a family. The host had some nice snacks for our family. The bed in the master bedroom was hard as a rock. It was difficult to sleep well.

Highly recommend! A wonderful stay from start to finish.The house was exactly as pictured: spotless, comfortable, and well stocked. When we ran out of one of the essentials, a replacement was at our door almost immediately.Heather was an exceptional host. She asked right away if we were in town for the festival and shared helpful tips that made our trip easier. She also left a thoughtful welcome gift. It wasn't necessary, but we loved it, and it was a sweet touch that made us feel at home.We'd happily stay again. Thank you, Heather!

As others have mentioned, great location - close to a lot of great walkable places. We enjoyed it. Reason for one less star is the very last requirement for booking is to pay a 3,000 refundable deposit or pay for property damage insurance. I don’t mind paying a refundable deposit but 3,000 is a lot to float so got stuck buying extra unnecessary insurance. Was still our best option for days we wanted to visit, but overall good.

Thank you for making us aware of this requirement. This was a change made by the app that we were not aware of and we have since removed that requirement.

Weekend getaway

Had a great time in Clear Lake! The location of the house was in walking distance to the downtown area. There is a great outdoor sitting and grilling area. All beds were very comfortable and the house was comfy! Would definitely recommend this house!!!
