Excellent stay and would choose it again whenever in Clear Lake.
Pros:

Beautiful, convenient location, right on the lake, gorgeous views, including natural habitat. Very clean, fully stocked kitchen-real dishes was a nice touch. Clean fridge , stove, even having access to a dishwasher is very convenient even though we didn't use it for our stay. A very spacious, well stocked bathroom; clean shower, basket of towels, very pretty, minimalist design that worked well for us. Loved the built in outlets on the nightstand, complimentary Netflix streaming was convenient, spacious patio with cute red lounge chairs.... as a disabled vet with mobility issues, appreciated the ADA accessibility. The lady at the front desk was very nice and welcoming, appreciated her hospitality. It was pricey but honestly, it was worth it.

Cons:

The bedroom had a rather large portable AC unit sitting on the floor between the window and bed. I appreciated being able to cool the room but it was kind of loud and in the way-a minor annoyance, definitely not a deal breaker at all.

Great 1 night trip!
Pros:

We were only there for a short visit, had three eager boys wanting to fish. Got there right at sunset and they caught two fish from their dock and cooked up burgers for dinner on their BBQ. We left early morning to fish the lake and caught a 6 pound bass! Host was great, we enjoyed our room and the amenities. Plenty of space to park boat. We will be back for sure. Thank you!

Cons:

Nothing.

Un endroit agréable pour profiter du coucher de soleil sur le lac.
Pros:

L’emplacement près du lac est très agréable. L’accueil chaleureux. Les chambres en petites maisonnettes individuelles…

Cons:

Nous avons eu très froid la nuit ! Pas de couverture supplémentaire et le chauffage faisait vraiment trop de bruit pour qu’on le mette en marche…
Le lit était moyen, un peu mou et pas très large.

Pros:

It was quiet and somewhat conveniently located for the things I was there to do that weekend. The outdoor space was nice and the view of lake was fantastic.

Cons:

The mattress in our cottage. It's advertised as a Queen, but it's really a Full/Double. I have a Queen at home and the difference was notable. Also, I think it's a spring mattress which really messed up my back. The TV was a little too small for how far away it was from the bed. Lastly, drapes would've been real nice to block the sun to keep from waking up at the crack of dawn.

Summer retreat
Pros:

The cabin was basic, but very clean and was spacious. The bed was pretty comfortable. The resort is right on the lake with a large bbq area and very nice well maintained swimming pool.

Cons:

I went on extremely hot days, this made it hard for the AC to up and the algae in the lake was probably worse than normal. I definitely would go back, but it would be on days that are not as hot.

Pros:

Seemed it was a reasonable stay in the area. Bed was nice and we were able to enjoy the grassy area. Individual cottages was good for privacy and noise.

Cons:

Cottages had some moldy smell, I understand it might be the lake too but glad we were staying only one night. Window AC was on the whole night to cool the cottage down. There are mosquitoes that inevitably escape inside the cottage from the door and windowsills. Overall we managed to get a good sleep once we set up inside but won't be returning soon.
