EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION

The cottage has a large deck cantilevered over the boat port that gives a spectacular view of the entire lake (the deck will not be available in 2021 since being repaired – will just have the roof over the boat port). It has great water access with 2 docks (one boat allowed at dock #1 as dock #2 is for swimming only). No walk-in entry, ladder from dock. The water is approx. 10 ft at the end of the dock. The water is clear with very few weeds and is appropriate for swimming. canoeing and kayaking are also appropriate on the lake. Water shoes are optional,  some people like using them because the shoreline is rocky.  Our longest dock can accommodate a boat, 18 – 20 ft, renters need their own ropes for tie up at the dock.

Fishing is excellent, even right off the dock. For those days when the flies or mosquitoes are bothering you there is a large screened in gazebo for your comfort off the deck of the main cottage.

The driveway to the cottage cannot be used during most the winter, need to park at the top of the hill.

TESTIMONIALS

Our cottage stay was fantastic, gorgeous cottage with every amenity possible. The only thing that we missed was a washer and dryer. Kids had great time and caught loads of fish, small mouthed bass, and sun fish, Saw so much wildlife, wonderful experience. We would rent again. Love it. Hernick Family (Jun/Jul 2022)

Our hosts were great! They met us when we arrived and showed us around.  They showed us the boat and we went for a nice tour. The cottage was rustic and just as pictured. The screened in gazebo was great! Plenty of room for badminton and washer toss! The only thing lacking was the fishing….other than the 40″ Muskie on the first day only one Pickerel and one Bass. Great cottage and a wonderful time had by all! Alan D. (Aug 2021)

We had a wonderful weekend and this cottage provided all the benefits of home. The beautiful deck over the water is such a gorgeous spot to enjoy the day and the screened in gazebo was a perfect escape from the rain. -Jodi S. (Sept. 2018)

Our family’s 2 week vacation at Clear Lake family cottage was wonderful! and wanted to thank you for your quick response to any questions we had and your knowledge and attentiveness.  The accommodations were superb, weather was fantastic and we all had a great time!  The owners son visited a couple of times (by no ways intrusive) to make sure our stay was comfortable and wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed to make sure our stay was everything we wanted and expected. Would you believe that we’re already planning next year’s 2 week getaway?  -Elizabeth A. (Aug. 2018)
