Great location

The home was clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We loved the big sunroom for our family gatherings in the evening. We have a boat so were very happy there was a dock nearby for us to use during the day.

Great proximity to the lake

This location provides a great view of the lake from the front decks and is about 1 block from the park and docks. The public boat ramp is about a mile from the property. The property was very clean and fit our needs well. We had a great time at Clear Lake.
