About the host

Hosted by John McIlhon

Host profile image
We are Des Moines residents who have enjoyed over 40 years of summer fun in Clear Lake with extended family as well as good friends. It's near and dear to our hearts!

Why they chose this property

We love the beautiful lake view and peaceful surroundings with bountiful trees and birds. We really look forward to hosting family gatherings in the spacious, modern kitchen, dining and living area, and will enjoy the new central air system in the heat of summer!

What makes this property unique

Our neighborhood is quintessential Clear Lake. You’re surrounded by classic Clear Lake bungalows, as well as attractive lakeside homes. Downtown Clear Lake is just a 10-minute drive or boat ride from our cabin.

The Market is a Clear Lake tradition, with basic household needs and food, as well as the best donuts on the lake. Next door to the Market, you’ll find an ice cream shop shaped…like an ice cream cone! It’s one of a kind.

A state park is just a short walk and features a public access beach, picnic facilities, including grills and tables.

Two, privately operated RV parks are just a short drive on South Shore from the cabin and are popular during summer months.
