The hosts were amazing when I couldn't figure out the key box. They were there and let me on within minutes. The property was well kept and clean. My fishing adventure was cut short but I enjoyed relaxing and looking out at the water. I will be back!

Family had a lovely time fishing and staying at this property. As most reviews suggest, home is older but very well cared for. We appreciated the gate and privacy the home offers and amenities we expect when traveling. Will definitely be back!

Our stay was perfect for our long weekend stay. We wanted to stay lakefront near Kelseyville and this house had everything we needed. It was built in the 1950s and is true to its heritage. We appreciated that the landlords, Rita and Rolf had the heat on for our arrival.

Very nice clean home! Beautiful view!

The house was cute with a great yard and view of the lake. Rita and Rolf were incredibly nice and accessible. Any requests we had were graciously accommodated. The unexpected chance to meet them personally brought a wealth of knowledge of the rich history of the house, amazing art and the larger Kelseyville/Lakeport area. Would definitely stay there again!!!

Home was fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Owners were very response. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet comfortable place to stay.

Clean and had everything we needed already here! Despite not having AC, the concrete home stayed cool all day in the middle of July. Would highly recommend for a couples getaway or a small family! Rolf and Rita were awesome and even let us borrow their golf cart!!!

Charming little house built in the 50s. Nice big grassy yard complete with a hammock! Amazing lake views from inside the house and even better from the backyard.

This was my second time staying here - the first since 2019. This time for three days of fishing with my wife and 17 year old son. It’s a great location in soda bay - and is a perfect simple hide away for a visit to the lake. I am sure we will be back!

Property us exactly as described and very nice. Had plumbing issue that Rita and Rolf dealt with immediately. Great communication and will go back again.

I spent a couple of beautiful remote working and fishing days in this wonderful house. It is an older home but shows tremendous pride of ownership. On entry, you are greeted with a mural of photos showing the home being built. It seems this is was one of the first homes in this area of Soda Bay and may even be in the family of the original owners. They have kept it up nicely. It provides for indoor and outdoor space, a nice grass area, a great dock, picnic table and seating and a nice parking area. My SUV and kayak trailer fit nicely and I felt secure leaving the trailer unhitched on the property. The house sits at almost the end of the street, which is a single lane road. Note that if you are pulling a trailer, be confident in your ability to park and drive in reverse as the single lane roads, hill, and tight turns make it necessary to back up should you meet another driver coming the opposite way. I slept well and ate well thanks to both a well stocked kitchen and nice neighbors that even brought me over some BBQ. Be aware that the lake levels are low (June of 2022) and while I could launch my kayak from the shore, it was a muddy launch. Overall, I highly recommend this peaceful and lovely lakeside retreat and will be back.

We had such a fun time. The place was great. So many animals came up to the backyard. We saw a baby deer, a fox, and tons of birds. The fishing was great from the dock and we were able to tie our boat to it. We have a bass boat though water was only 2-3 ft. Beds were comfortable and the place had nice towels. There was also a fan and a heater we were able to use to dry our clothes when it rained. Rita was super responsive. Definitely would go back.

We loved this little house on the lake!

It's very relaxing to watch the activities on the lake.

Quite, clean, and picturesque. Completely stocked and comfortable accommodations.

This is our second time staying here in the last 3 months. It never disappoints how great this place is. Nice and quite perfect little bay to kayak fish in. Not to mention the owners (Rita & Rolf) are just great people.

This house was so quaint. I would do all 5 stars, except there was some sort of security light that is motion activated on the neighbors side yard that lit up the bedroom 5-6 times during the night. In the neighbors defense, it was windy, so it may have just been the wind that was making it come on...not his fault. But better blinds on the bedroom windows might help? Otherwise, the house was perfect...small but well acquainted and perfectly located. Thank you Rita! We'll likely be back!

It was the Perfect Birthday Getaway for us. Definitely was a relaxing stay .It was quiet and peaceful Really enjoyed our stay and the Dock was the Highlight of it all.

Wonderful place, quiet, great views and marvelous host!!!

I am reluctant to write a great review about this place, as I would love to keep it a secret spot for myself (haha).The house was amazing, the neighborhood was quiet, & the scenery was spectacular. Homeowners were great people, was interesting to see the family history of the house.. Couldn't be happier.

Rental process was flawless and the property was perfect for us. Really old style locks on the doors that we didn't pay enough attention to and gor locked out but the owner was quick to respond and showed up in no time to let us in. Tight road getting to the house but wonderful atmosphere and accommodations

We have rented 6-7 different homes at clear lake and this one is in our top two! The owners were very responsive and made sure that everything we needed was taken care of. The home is very clean and has everything you need. Soda bay is our favorite location on the lake because it is protected from the wind most of the time. We definitely recommend this house!

The house was everything we were wishing for. It's an older house, but has all the charms of Clear Lake - boat dock to fish or bird watch, grass area to play sports and a fantastic view of the lake from inside the house. Had a great hike in nearby Clear Lake State Park. Hoping to return for a warm, summer stay next time..

This house is so cute and has such an interesting history. Rita and Rolf were amazing hosts, really helpful and friendly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay. Gorgeous lake and hill views from the patio and dock. House was well stocked with essentials and decorated with cool artwork and family photographs. You can tell this home was built and filled with love. So happy we stayed there!

Fantastic views. Very nice place. No AC - gets hot during the day.

Spent 4 nights here in July on a fishing trip with my brother and 14 year old son. The home has been in the same family since it was built (1950s?) and has been lovingly kept in its original condition. No muddled up remodels or fancy updates - just a perfect lakeside cottage in an amazing location with beautiful views and easy lake access from the dock or nearby launch ramps. The place just feels right. A quiet step back in time - with pictures and maps on the walls that help you feel the family history. I wasn’t sure about the single bathroom at first, but the sinks in each bedroom were surprisingly convenient to have. We stayed at a much newer and bigger place last year at the lake and I liked this place much more. Perfect place for a fishing getaway - and great central location to have as your base. Note for boaters. The road down to the house is short - but narrow and curvy. However, we quickly mastered the art of towing our 19 foot boat all the way down and into the gated backyard parking area - with enough room to turn around and plug in for the next day. We would definitely return in the future!

Clean property. Great location and view. Private boat ramp and good boat dock. Great service from owner.

What a charming home with a beautiful view of soda bay. Perfect location to get anywhere on the lake. We will definitely be back.
