Home in Clear Lake

MaryRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Stayed at Trevor’s house for the second time and it was great once again! The occasion was a gathering for 7 of my ex high school classmates and myself, and we meet in Clear Lake because it’s about a 2-hour drive for all of us (halfway in between my location in Des Moines and their homes in Minnesota). Trevor is very responsive and replied to my messages quickly. The house is very clean, beds are comfortable, and it worked out perfectly for us! Thanks, Trevor! I hope we’ll be back again soon!

A gazebo provides a shaded area with a seating arrangement featuring dark wicker furniture. The outdoor space includes a small putting green, surrounded by a stone pathway and a white picket fence in the background.

The Clausen House-Historic home close to the lake!

PeggyRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Myron’s communication with our group before our stay was helpful and clear. He offered us a flexible check in, which was highly appreciated. Myron provided suggestions for the area and answered questions from our group. He checked with us during our stay to ensure the furnishings and temperature were comfortable (the outside temp got down to -10, but we stayed warm) and that the rental unit met our expectations. The spacious Clausen House was perfect for our large group of 10 adults to enjoy meals, visiting and games together. The large house also provided us quiet spaces to rest and rejuvenate as needed. Beds were comfortable and linens/towels clean and abundant. The house is full of historic charm and we felt we had been transported back in time. There were antiques to explore and enjoy much to our delight. The kitchen had all we needed to make our meals. We also enjoyed eating out and taking in the local brewery. We had such a good time we’re already talking about our return trip.
