April 2017. Just returned from a week-long stay and had a very relaxing time! First time to Clearlake and wanted to offer our comments for future travelers.

Owner (Patricia) was very quick to respond to any of our questions, and extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations! She showed a genuine interest in ensuring we had a pleasant vacation.

House and property was very clean and tidy. The house was well equipped with everything you need to accommodate your stay (i.e. dishes, glasses, silverware, utensils, pots &pans, etc.). Outside landscaping was well kept and lots of furniture to lounge as desired. Dock/boat lift was very well maintained and very stable, making it easy for my 83-year old FIL to access and feel comfortable. Dock/boat lift was the perfect place for fishing making it easy to cast your line completely around the perimeter reaching both shallow and deeper water.

Although we’re not “Bird Watchers”, there was an abundance of different species and truly enjoyed seeing the variety of birds that can be observed while lounging in the backyard. We also saw a few deer on this trip.

We knew April was pretty early in the season, but wanted the get-away just the same. Fishing wasn’t that great, and only caught two largemouth bass during our entire stay. This might actually attest to my poor skills as a fisherman vs. the location. :) Had a huge fish on the line but got too anxious and ended up losing it. Other fishermen that came by in their boats mentioned the fishing was a little better at the northern part of the lake, but none were having that much luck. Very windy during our stay which made it uncomfortable to be out on the dock for any length of time.

House is very close to neighboring property and felt a little uncomfortable staring at and overhearing the neighboring tenant’s conversations, and knowing they were doing the same to us. Get the impression this is typical of Clearlake and if you look at a satellite map of the lake you see dock after dock next to each other.

The drive in, once you get off the main paved road and start down the dirt road, is not for the weak at heart. Not sure who is responsible for maintenance (county or owners co-op), but was in dire need of repairs caused by our recent rainy season. I’m assuming this will be better in the future.

All in all, we had a very relaxing visit and would provide a great recommendation to others for this property, along with a very sincere “Thank You” to Patricia!
