What a wonderful stay for a post Christmas/New Years getaway! The weather wasn't perfect but it didn't matter since the house was warm and comfortable, there were lots of games and puzzles and one only needed a hot beverage (also provided) to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The house was clean, updated and the beds were comfortable. We had fun in the kayaks once the weather cleared up. The welcome wine was a wonderful touch as well. Thank you thank you!

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this cute, clean cottage . Beautiful location with all the comforts of home. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and responsive to questions. The fenced in yard was nice for our dogs to play end the views were gorgeous. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Nice spot right on the lake. Our stay was only a couple of days at the end of a longer vacation. Lots of things to explore during a longer stay. Enjoyed our stay though. Contacted the host a couple of times and he was very quick to respond and very helpful. Thanks!

Great property for a small group and dogs. Greeted by nice wines. Fabulous to have waterfront and be able to slip their kayaks right in the water. Clean and quiet property. Relaxing yard and deck. Spotted an otter, herons, and egrets.

My family (self, husband, 10yr old, and dog) had a deeply relaxing stay at this perfectly located cottage. The views overlook the private dock, expanse of the lake and mountains beyond. A nearby wetland became ideal for bird watching all day long and a short paddle away and we could watch the bubbling action of natural volcanic springs. It was a perfect getaway to play games, paddle board and kayak, and spend time with family. The hosts were responsive and very welcoming with local wine.

My favorite spot was looking back to the house and seeing Mt Konocti looming above. But there was also a young family of Northern Goshawks (I think) eager for their parents to come home with supper - an amazing sight and and sound. Sunsets were amazing and we caught a few of the laggard Perseids as they skipped off the atmosphere. For city dwellers seeing the night sky where there is no light pollution is an indelible memory and visual feast of fascination and exploration.

This was a great location for our family to spend time together. Our hosts left interesting historical information and recommendations for nearby resturants and sights. They even left a wine selection that we enjoyed and other convienient "creature comforts".
The cottage is near geothermal features of the lake. We enjoyed all of the abunant wildlife such as the Osprey nest right above the neighbor's house.
It was a couple hour drive to the coast for the day and an easy drive to explore closer towns.
We enjoyed our get away.

I took my daughter and 4 of her friends to Clear Lake to relax and get away. We had prefect weather while we were visiting so it was fantastic. We used the kayaks that were at the house and we brought two paddle boards. They had a great time paddling and swimming all day long. The bedroom/bathroom arrangement was prefect. The kids had their space and I had mine. Sunsets and sunrises were spectacular. Also lots of birds to watch. We were able to make simple meals in the kitchen, it had everything we needed. A prefect short getaway for all.

The photographs don't do it justice! There was ample space, 2 living areas, and the rooms were a great size. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything you need including pots and pans, pasta strainer, can opener, Keurig coffee maker, even a smore making machine! The appliances were all newer and worked very well. The showers and water pressure was great, and the view onto the lake was amazing. The kids had a ball, and the deck was nice to sit on and watch them swim from. There is a little store about 2 minutes away in case you forgot something. Scott was fast to respond and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

I visited the lake house in early May for a remote work and fishing trip. Had easy access to the lake with my kayak. Kept it on the dock and launched whenever I wanted to from there. Easy parking for my SUV and kayak trailer. Great area on Soda Bay with easy access from the dock to the state park area and Henderson Point using my kayak. There were even 2 kayaks included should you need them.
House was fabulous. Pics don't really do it justice. There is more space than I expected. Could have easily brought my whole family thanks to the front bedrooms, bunkbeds, and nice bathroom. Kitchen was small but perfect and the owners even included 4 bottles of wine to try. The bathrooms were great - the lakeside master with on-suite includes a soaking tub. I haven't used one of those in a while and enjoyed it after a long day of work and fishing.
Overall, this place is fantastic and I would stay again and will plan to. Thanks to Scott for making it available!

We had a great stay at Soda Bay - booking and check in was a breeze. The deck was amazing both morning and evening. Fire pit was great - the dogs loved the backyard. Lots of waterfowl to watch. Boat worked great for our bass boat - caught most fish right out from the house!!
Great visit and would love to come back again - gonna miss that view.

The place was easy to get in, owners were great and quick to respond with any issues. The views of the water were amazing, and the propane fire pit on the deck was great for night time relaxing. The wife and I even took the kayaks out for a few trips around the bay and was great fun. Little cold because it was off season, but to be expected and the heater was powerful! Super cozy little weekend trip with the InLaws

We let ourselves in to the beautiful Lake House to find a handwritten note and several bottles of wine to enjoy during our stay from the hosts. The Lake was very low (hi, global warming) so we didn't get to take advantage of the dock but we used the lake level as a reason to go exploring with our dogs! They LOVED it and we loved watching them swim with the ducks and splash around as we explored the "bottom of the lake". Sitting in the extremely cozy lounge chairs next to the fire whilst watching the rain fall over the lake whilst enjoying a glass of wine made for the perfect relaxation destination. It was quite a magical view to see the many deer pass through the area.
We definitely enjoyed our stay and hope to return during the warmer season to enjoy the kayak, beautiful deck, and once again enjoy waking up to the amazing view!

Well kept property with all the necessities. Nice deck that overlooks beautiful lake. The neighborhood road was narrow and steep in some areas.

We hope to come back sometime for a longer stay. The property itself was awesome and they were so welcoming! But the view was hard to beat as well. Wonderful deck and seating to relax and watch the lake. Thanks, we'll be back!

This home was a wonderful week-end getaway...it was very clean, nice open air common are, beds were comfortable and our hosts were very generous to leave us some bottles of wine...a very thoughtful gift! LOVED that there was coffee available as well. Beautiful location to just relax, read, BBQ and enjoy the views. The only reason we didn't give a higher overall review really was beyond the owners control - the lake is pretty low so that took away from our overall experience . The hosts were first rate and very accommodating...thank you Brian & Nicole!

July 4th family vacation
We had a great family vacation. We went to the Lake, and kayaked. The kids even learned how to SUP.
We did use one of their kayaks. On July 4th, the family enjoyed movie night by the fire pit. The family chose "The Guardians of the Galaxy 2". We brought our projector and screen, and we set it out on the patio. We enjoyed the night watching the lake and movie. It was great to make the another family memorable vacation.
Your place was great. We enjoyed the Lake cottage theme, and the simplesty of the white walls. We loved that it was family and pet friendly. We would rate your B&B 4 and 1/2 stars. It was an enjoyable and lovely cottage.We would definitely come back.

The off the beaten path location was great for a family escape after the holidays. The rooms were comfortable and the central space was great for playing games and movie night after a day of hiking local trails including Mt. Konocti! The hosts were immediate in their responses to our early concerns and all problems were rectified in minutes, most of which was regarding my ability to use the fireplace and heater! Thanks for a great vacation! Eric

The house and view are lovely. The owners are very hospitable. The view is spectacular. We really had a great time and even took out the kayaks for a spin.

The house was very clean, comfortable and organized. The scenery from the deck was magnificent. Unfortunately, because it was mostly rainy and cold at the time we were unable to take as much advantage as we would have wanted of the deck or its immediate access to the lake. However, since it was Christmas week anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed the indoors, especially the family room and fireplace. Our host, Scott, was very responsive to all our questions and needs, from the time we signed up and throughout our stay. We are considering returning perhaps in late spring or in the summer.
