Host profile image
Our names are Lon and Deb Gretillat and we both grew up in North Iowa. We have worked and lived in Clear Lake for the past 20 years and really love all Clear Lake has to offer. We have five grown daughters, three sons-in-law and thoroughly enjoy our four young grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We have been looking for a vacation rental for several years and finally found what we think is a gem based on its location and features of the house. It's only two blocks from City Beach and Downtown so anyone visiting can enjoy the beach, many events and amenities Clear Lake has to offer. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
