This house is amazing, absolutely beautiful inside and out. The views are amazing so calm and peaceful. We had our dogs with us and they really enjoyed the swimming and the walks. This house had just about every amenity you could think of, communication with the owner was super easy and very fast response. We plan on staying there again, I highly recommend this place.

Family reunion

Perfect home for our family get together. We meet every July, flying from California and North Carolina. Our extended family stays at a cottage down the street ( that used to be in our family). Our VRBO house has everything, especially a beautiful deck and dock right on the lake.

Best Location at Clear Lake

This is our second visit to this beautiful home. I can’t say enough on how much we love this cabin. The location and views are amazing. And, the abundance of outdoor seating made it nice for when our family who lives in the area came to visit. We highly recommend.

Loves everything about it!

Super quiet neighborhood. Lovely cottage. Brenda and Larry had everything we thought we might need and more! They are kind, friendly and super accessible if needed. Clear lake is a beautiful destination. Kayaks were an added bonus! Bar and party store within walking distance. Nice place to park our boat. Launch can be a little congested. But really how much time do you spend there?! Our kiddos are 4, 10 and 13 everyone had a great time. My only negative is that the biggest/best bed was in the loft verse the private room. Pretty minor negative and we understand it was a spacing situation. My girls thought it was awesome though. And didn't stop anyone from having a great week!

House is very homey and comfortable. Loved the deck and outside patio to enjoy the weather. We stayed for a baseball tournament, and definitely will stay again. We'll worth the price s staying at one of the two local hotels thar are way overpriced and not clean

We booked the house for a small girls trip away. The home was beautiful and cozy as the weather was cold and rainy. The homeowner was amazing and replied to all questions quickly! Would love to stay again....maybe in a warmer month. 😁

Fishing, fun and more

Our family enjoyed our week at Clear Lake Memories. Despite the small footprint of the bedrooms and bathroom, our family of five was quite comfortable and appreciated the many conveniences and inclusions. The hosts, Larry & Brenda, were responsive and helpful when we had questions. While not inexpensive, the addition of the pontoon rental from the nearby resort added A TON of enjoyment to our stay. We really enjoyed the time on the lake (despite mixed results) and true to its name, we were continually amazed by the clarity of the lake. The bountiful amounts of hummingbirds buzzing about was an interesting and fun aspect as well. We enjoyed the fire pit for s’mores and a generous amount of supplied firewood was greatly appreciated. Anything we needed was only a 20 minute drive into West Branch away. We also chose to rent 3 kayaks from the hosts, but didn’t use them enough as we would have liked to given that there was so much else to do. Very solid WiFi service provided, important because we have three teenagers. We even learned how to play cornhole. Lots of fun and memories made.

Super Cozy and a Great Value!

The view and location is AMAZING. It is directly on the water and you are within walking distance to all of the local businesses. Our favorite part was drinking coffee on the deck during the morning and sitting around the fire pit by the water during the evening. We also had several family member who live, or were vacationing, in town and there was plenty of room and seating to host a few meals at our place. Highly recommend!!!

First time I have ever done anything like this and a great experience.

The location was great and I definitely would stay there again if it was available. The owners were very nice people and if they didn’t have it you probably didn’t need it. They had everything you would need except your cloths. I rate it very high and you don’t have to look at anything else this is the spot.
