About this property

Come enjoy our vacation home on the South Side of Clear Lake Iowa. This property has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 living areas, dining area, fully stocked kitchen, loft with Hawks-Nest balcony deck. The Captains' quarters has a King memory foam bed and the Mermaid quarters has a queen-sized memory foam bed. The Crew quarters are great for kids with bunk beds and trundle. Lastly for really big groups, the loft can sleep 4 with 2 foam beds and a sofa. Kids and teens also love loft area as a hang out spot as well. Kids are always welcome and the house misses the sound of little feet and the energy all children bring.

Home has 2 baths and a continuous water heater for plenty of hot water.

For entertainment, we have full cable TV, DVD player, whole home Wi-Fi as well as a
1980's 60-game cocktail table arcade machine (Galaga, Pac-Man, Donkey-Kong, Space Invaders, Frogger, etc.). Numerous board games and bags equipment. Or curl up with a good book on one of the three decks and watch the world go by.

Clear Lake weekend

The house was as good as advertised, and perfect for our family gathering. It was very clean, comfortable, and in a great location. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely rent this house again.

Holiday get away

The Clear Lake cabin/house is our go-to whenever we are in town. There are two separate living areas (perfect for those of us with children) we are always greeted with snacks and the kids love the video game machine! Separate loft area is perfect for teens to hide away. The town is wonderful, we love the half moon steak house. Our only “problem” now is convincing Jeff to let us rent on the summer!! This was our third trip There and we WILL be back next year. What a fantastic weekend

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

We live in Des Moines, Iowa on a permanent basis but love to be in Clear Lake as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home as a family get away and vacation spot. Clear Lake is one of Iowa's Great Lakes and provides great recreation year round. The Surf Ballroom is of historic significance as well as it was where Buddy Holly had his last performance before his tragic plane accident. Clear Lake as a community does a great job of having activities planned for almost all weekends. Clear Lake has something to offer in all seasons. Winter is made for ice fishing and the Kite Festival. Spring brings early season walleye fishing and boating as well. We don't usually rent the home out in the summer but Clear Lake is magical in the summer and the 4th of July is a highlight that everyone should experience at least once. Fall is our favorite time as it is a little slower on the lake but still fantastic.

What makes this property unique

What we love about our home is the ability to have a large group of people yet be able to shut off portions of the house to cut down on noise or to varying sleeping habits. The four parking spots also is ideal for when we have multiple families staying with us. It truly is a "play" house built for fun.
