This property was just perfect for us! Spotlessly clean, decorated perfectly and very spacious. Beds were comfortable and lots of room for everyone to spread out. Hosts were very responsive to our question regarding check-in and generously left a nice bottle of wine at the door to help us ring in 2026. Highly recommend this darling and well appointed property.

About the host

Hosted by Lon & Deb Gretillat

Host profile image
We’re Deb and Lon, North Iowa natives who both grew up in the Clear Lake area. After years of living here and now hosting two vacation rentals, we’ve come to fully appreciate all the charm and beauty this community offers—whether you're a lifelong local, coming home to visit family, or discovering Clear Lake for the first time.

Clear Lake isn’t just where we live—it’s home. From the iconic lakefront and music-filled summers to small-town charm and year-round events, there’s always something special happening here. We created this vacation rental with comfort and connection in mind—a relaxing home base to enjoy lake days, downtown dining, nature trails, or simply spending quality time with the people who matter most.

Whether you're here for a weekend or a season, we’re honored to share a little piece of Clear Lake with you. Welcome home!

Why they chose this property

This town holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re excited to share a little of its magic with you.

Our vacation rental is nestled in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood just five blocks from City Beach. Whether you’re here for lake days, weekend getaways, or a visit "back home," you’ll be close to everything that makes Clear Lake special.

We love how vibrant downtown is—just a few blocks away, you’ll find Cabin Coffee (a go-to morning stop), great local shopping, a movie theater, delicious restaurants, and the charming Central Park with its playground and seasonal events. There’s always something going on, from concerts and farmers markets to winter festivities and summer boat parades.

Back at the house, unwind on the patio with a grill, relax while the kids play in the backyard, or simply enjoy time together in a peaceful setting. Whether you're out exploring or staying in to reconnect, we hope you feel right at home.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Our home is perfectly situated just five blocks from City Beach and a short walk to Clear Lake’s vibrant downtown—filled with local restaurants, shops, a movie theater, and our favorite coffee spot, Cabin Coffee. You’ll be close to the action but tucked into a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood.

What really makes the house special is its layout—two separate living spaces give everyone room to relax, whether you're gathering for a movie night or finding a quiet spot to unwind. Outside, the backyard and patio offer space to grill, play, or just enjoy time together. It’s the ideal blend of convenience, comfort, and community.
