The home is very nice and the location was great for relaxing. The property is beautifully landscaped and the game room is a lot of fun. We would rent it again in a heart beat.

We had a great stay at the property. The views are amazing and the place was well appointed with space.

Beautiful house,beautiful location and wonderful views! In 5 days,we had all 4 seasons, I got to swim (it was a little too chilly for me)the dogs loved it though,go for walks,very peaceful neighborhood and the guys went kayaking and caught some really nice bass! Would definitely go again. Wendy and Rick.

This is a lakeside rental where most people would presumably come to enjoy the lake right? We drove 9 hours each way to spend 5 days on a lake. Instead we got smelly sludge. Each day, as soon as the sun hits the water the algae began to grow and become sludge for hundreds of yards out. Later the algae dies off and begins to emit a unique bouquet of moist soil and rotting garbage that rides the wind up to the home for your enjoyment throughout the day and then lingers overnight until the cycle starts again the next morning. If this sounds like a nuisance it is...but at times it can be much worse for people and animals who come in contact. Do a search on "algae blooms on California waterways" or "cyanobacteria clear lake" and make an informed judgment for yourself. There was zero mention of this on the host's VRBO rental page (and still not as of the date of this review). The only place algae is mentioned is in the rental rules that are sent to you by email two days before your stay when it's far too late to cancel. Do your homework and decide for yourself. We didn't have that option and it made our lakeside stay at times miserable. We could not go near the water, in fact we had to drive to the other side of the lake and rent a party boat for $700 just to enjoy 4 hours of clean water. Other Issues: Home - smells old. Cobwebs and dead bugs everywhere. Ants in (not on...in) bed. Mouse poop all over stairs. Game room - Smelled so bad we didn't use. Beach - Garbage and dead fish sprinkled in to add to the bouquet of the rotting algae. Water - This home uses a tank that wasn't adequately filled prior to our stay so we were without water for most of one day. We had to put water from hot tub in toilets to flush. Electricity - Outage for much of one day. No emergency candles or adequate flashlights available. We had to spend $70 for lanterns to see to make dinner. I have found that these blue green algae blooms are not a year round thing. Blooms occur mostly during the summer months and some years are worse than others. Of course this is not the host's fault and we do not blame them. It's the lack of communication about it that we don't understand so I'd just like others to be aware of the possibility. The host did refund a small portion of our rental fee which we did not ask for. In my opinion they do not grasp the severity of the algae problem, how to adequately prep a vacation rental or how much all of these issues affected our vacation.

Property is delightful. Senery is most beautiful. Especially sunsets. Clearlake water level i quite low, but boat docks worked fine

Wet nice property.

House location and amenities couldn’t be better. One draw back is parking with boat trailers. Recommend anyone who is taking a boat to this house use Konocti Harbor to store the boat trailers then there is sufficient room for parking. Great location and very peaceful Thanks again Alan.

The house was spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The views of the lake are great and the back patio allows for hours of relaxation. The only drawback is the water is quite choppy and their is alot of algae so paddleboarding and kayaking are not easy from the property. If you have a boat, no problem, there is lots of lake to explore.

Alan and this house are both fantastic. Staying here was a great experience. It comes with all the extras - hot tub, kayaks (both hard and inflatable), towables, life jackets, pool table, pinball, and all the board games you could possibly imagine. We used everything.While we were there we had a boat overnight one night. The dock needed to be lowered. A quick note to Alan and 2 hours later it was lowered. Very quick. We had 4 guests join us for a few days - to make a total of 8. Four of those were kids 5-8 years old. We were able to squeeze those into the house. Alan was very accommodating. The swamp cooler works well, but it’s not like a forced air A/C unit. The air doesn’t distribute that well. The only bad area was the front bunk bed room - other rooms were fine. The kids were fine, but a little hot. Every night (and often during the day) the deer came out to eat the figs from the beach. It was a lot of fun watching and listening to them. Overall, this was a great experience. We will be back.

We were there and when it was very hot, (100 every day), so unfortunately the water gets very green at those temps, (with algae), but the house and location were great. Alan is a very good owner who responds quickly and makes sure you have a great stay. We spent a lot of time on the awesome deck, (amazing sunsets), and also down in the game room...vintage pinball machine and a very nice pool table. The house has everything you need so we did all our own cooking/bbqing and didn't have to go out once for dinner. Would definitely go back but it would be either before or after it gets too hot. Thanks.

The house was perfect. The views are some of the best on the lake. Everything we needed for our stay was there. Plenty of beach chairs & floats. Beds were comfy and there was room for everyone. We hope to stay again.

THIS HOUSE WAS PERFECT FOR OUR REUNION. FISHING, CLOSE TO OUR COUSIN AND THE VIEWS WERE EXCELLENT. WE HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO SPREAD OUT AND HAVE OUR OWN PRIVACY WHEN NEEDED. WILL DO IT AGAIN.

This rental property was perfect for our little fishing trip. Didn’t have a boat but Fisht off the dock and caught some bass!

We had a great time here at the lake house. The view was incredible, especially from the master bedroom. The back porch was the best part. Easy access to the water. The only negative was the AC didn't circulate very well in the house. The room with the bunk beds would get pretty stuffy which made it hard to sleep. Overall a really nice property in a great location.

We loved this property! There was a total of seven of us. Two families with three teenagers and four adults . We stayed four nights. The house is very well equipped, the best equipped house and kitchen we've experienced at Clear Lake. The covered deck off the kitchen / living room area is fantastic. The views from the deck and house are amazing. It is a very quiet neighborhood/street and you can hear the water lapping on the shoreline from the house. There are a lot of different areas to spread out and relax and a game room to enjoy. One highlight for me was just falling asleep for a nap in the hammock in the shade outside by the water...first time I've done that before! There are extra life vests and water toys. My wife and I stayed in the detached studio which was really nice as well. Alan was very responsive and unlike other places on Clear Lake there were no problems with the basics such as water, air conditioning, etc. Everything worked, knives were sharp, great appliances, kitchen was in order, etc. I'm out fishing and don't pay a lot of attention to the details but the ladies who were with us raved about this house and the all of the little details. The location is kind of cool too because you can boat to the cove around the corner to Richmond Park Pub and Grill. Or drive to Kelseyville, or a short drive into Clear Lake. We really loved this home . And working with Alan, who was very responsive, was a pleasure. The dock has "mooring whips" which I had never used before. They were great for keeping the boat off the dock even in the wind. Caught some nice bass in the cove as well. I highly recommend this house.

There were a lot more rules than we have experienced at other places. But nice part of the lake with beautiful views.

I would recommend this property as it was exactly as advertised. If you want nice accommodations right on the lake this is it. Great veranda with lots of comfortable chairs and a spectacular view of the lake and mountains. Spent almost all the time sitting and talking there. Very nice kitchen with everything you need. You will need the studio if you want three full bedrooms as the bedroom with bunk beds is essentially a kids room. Nice big living room common area that is open to the kitchen. With GPS it is easy to find. I would buy all your groceries before you arrive as the nearest decent store is a good 20+ minutes one way. The owner checked in to see if everything was ok - nice touch.

We've stayed at this property several times and will keep going back. The house is roomy, clean, well stocked and in a great location. Added benefits that make a positive difference for us are the use of the boat dock, the studio, the kayaks, the hot tub and our favorite -- the covered deck off the back of the house that looks over the lake. We spend a lot of time on the deck and it is so pleasant. The back of the house also has plenty of windows so even when you are inside, the kitchen and living areas look out towards the lake. Beautiful spot on the lake. The owner, Alan is attentive and has always dealt timely with all of the minor issues we've encountered. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The living areas are very comfortable, as are the bedrooms. Kitchen well-stocked. We also rented the studio cottage which is adorable. The only negative from my point of view was the distance to Lakeport and Clearlake but if you're there to swim, boat or fish that shouldn't matter too much.

Everything was as expected which was very nice. You'll enjoy your stay. :)

Great location. Quiet and peaceful setting. Loved the beachfront access to the lake. House was fantastic with every amenity we needed. So happy this place allows dogs.

Our group of 5 adults and 3 kids (under age 8) completely enjoyed our 2 night getaway. The house is stocked with everything you need to cook, sleep and relax comfortably. It's very kid friendly with lots of board games, books and movies, and we spent a ton of time outside playing in the lake and relaxing on the private beach. The house was spacious and we especially enjoyed hanging out on the back deck listening to the waves crash on the shore. Alan was very responsive to questions leading up to our trip and during our stay. We wish we would have stayed longer!

Nice lake view, clean, comfortable and well-maintained with everything you need to enjoy a really good time on the lake. We had some minor issue with the TV but the owner was quick to answer and to fix it. I recommend this place.

We were a party of 7.....plenty of room, good times hanging out together and able to get some separate time as well. First time staying at the property and we were 100% satisfied! The property fully equipped and functional. Loved the views, hot tub and porch! Hanging out on the porch during the day, eating meals on the porch, lounging in the evening on the porch and enjoying the beautiful view from the porch was a favorite. We used the boat dock so taking the kids out tubing a couple of times a day was easy. Didn't get a chance to use the kayak but the cove is perfect for it and on our list for our next visit. Alan, the owner, was available and attentive when we needed him. Definitely will return to this property.

Since we have been using VRBOs more and more for our vacations we've learned what they are and what they are not. They are not 5 star hotels, with immaculate floors, super fluffy towels and a staff awaiting your beck and call. They are people's homes, or vacation homes, that they have decided to share. That usually means the character, age, condition, level of cleanliness and amenities vary greatly. What the owner calls character you might call kitsch. This home falls into that space. It is a little older than we expected, worn here and there more than we'd like maybe, but it worked well (almost perfectly) and the setting was great. We really enjoyed our stay but we probably won't be back. And, that is not to disparage what they owners have here, but more revealing about our taste. Pluses include unbeatable location right on the water with a boat dock in a super-quiet neighborhood. Open living plan with a large, comfy main room and kitchen. Extra studio outside the main building. Minuses include small bedrooms (one king, one queen, two kid-sized bunks in the main house), limited closet space, no WiFi, and a hot tub that, for some reason, has protruding arms that make ingress and egress tough (my wife got a nasty bruise). Note: we did have a problem with the satellite TV receiver which the owner fixed in less than 24 hours. If you have a big family with lots of kids, and maybe a power boat, you'll have a great time in this house. An older couple or couples looking for quiet relaxation with a little more pamper might want to look elsewhere.

Most seamless stay I have ever had
