My family and I stayed at this property (myself, husband, my teenage son, my 78 year old mother and our 2 dogs) Overall we had a great stay and would recommend the property. Pros: Deck and views are amazing. It’s very quiet and not too many speed boats going by. We saw tons of birds, a family of otters, fish jumping out of the water, and hawks diving to the top of the lake to catch a fish. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked. Firewood was provided. We brought our own coffee, but there were provided tea and coffee pods provided. The SUPs provided. My husband and son had a great time exploring around the lake, even took our dogs around with them. Hot tub worked great. Cons: The house looked like it hadn’t been used since last season. The inside was clean, but all the chairs were flipped up on the dining table. The deck was a mess from the trees, chairs again flipped upside down on table and deck furniture all covered. Even once I got everything uncovered, chairs were covered in bird poop, dirty with stuff from the trees. I spent the first 2 hours cleaning the deck, chairs, tables so we could sit out there. Communication with property contact was not great. Upon trying to enter the property, the code access didn’t work. The emergency contact did not answer. The owner wouldn’t respond to VRBO. After an hour I finally got a call back and was able to get in. I asked about getting a partial refund for cleaning fee. Never got a response. Dog grass is maybe 5’x7’ super small.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house on the lake. The house is about a 15 min driver from the town of Clearlake where we rented a boat one day to go out on the lake. The next day my husband and son spent half the day on the lake bass fishing with a fishing guide. The house was well stocked with basic spices, oils and had plenty of pots, pans, plates and utensils. The hosts have done a wonderful job making their home very inviting, with lots of signs all over the house. There is a wonderful coffee station and a kettle for heating hot water. The outdoor deck was so relaxing in the afternoon when it was completely shaded. We stopped in Middletown to get groceries on our way to the house and went to dinner one night at the Richmond Bar and Grill on the lake (12 min drive). Overall, we loved the house and would definitely go back! We didn’t bring our dog, but there were 3 dog beds and dog food and water bowls. You can tell the owners are dog people! The beds are foam mattresses and the towels were very thick. They provided plenty of beach towels as well. There is a smart TV and we were able to log in to our own accounts to watch shows. Each room has an individual wall A/C unit, so you can adjust the temperature to your preference. Our son went fishing off the dock, but we didn’t use the paddle boards or hot tub this time around. If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay, this is it! You won’t be disappointed.

Contemporary, well appointed, spacious.Excellent communication with the owner.Appreciated variety of family activities provided-paddle boards, corn hole, propane fire pit, games, foosball, hot tub, and dining tables indoors & outdoors for all ten of us. Everyone had a good time, including the dogs.

We loved our stay at Casa Norman! It is the perfect weekend getaway! We loved how cozy it was and all of the small details around the house. We could tell that a lot of thought and love was put into the home. We couldn’t get over the stunning views of the lake every morning. The deck is the perfect place to hang out. We enjoyed many meals on the deck and many nights in the hot tub. We were a group of 10 and it was the perfect size for all of us. Don’t think twice about booking Casa Norman! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be back next year!
