About this property

A New Retreat at Clear Clear Lake, A Uniquely Iowan Experience

  • Find the perfect slice of Americana lake life in this newly renovated home on Clear Lake. No detail has been spared in creating this retreat for you and your loved ones to slow down, relax and make memories. The home features unique Iowa theming in each room. Enjoy the lake views from the Buddy Holly room, or enjoy the master suite with luxury bathroom, jacuzzi tub and screened porch. Whether you're boating, grilling, ice fishing, cycling, shopping, Netflixing, crafting or by the campfire (or fireplace) at night; this is where memories are made.

    Besides the three bedrooms, there are couches and air mattresses for extra sleeping spaces. The updated and well-equipped kitchen includes a gas range and double oven and check out the wood carved map of clear lake in the redesigned dining room. If you need a desk for a workcation or quick meeting, we have a setup for that too with high-speed, stable internet.

    For those bringing a boat, the home does not have a private dock, but you'll be minutes or a short walk from a public boat ramp or State beach.

    The home is unofficially named Ron's Landing, after our late father who loved Clear Lake and spent many summer weekends at the lake with us.  We designed this space with care to be the perfect retreat for us and our families, so we know you'll have an unforgettable experience and love it just as much as we do.

    Security camera disclosure: as required by VRBO, there are two external security cameras at this property. One covers the front door and one covers the back door. They are purely for security purposes since the owners do not live local.

Awesome Lake House

This property has all the comforts of home. The kitchen is equipped with all of the appliances, utensils, cook and bakeware needed to prepare any meal. The bed and bathrooms were comfortable and well appointed. The living areas were comfortable, but, the real attraction was the front deck and enclosed porch with the great view of the lake. We were there in the off season late September early October and it was nice and quiet. I imagine there would be more activity at the height of summer. We had a wonderful time and this house and Clear Lake are definitely on our list of places to return to.

Clear Lake family vacation/retreat.

We love Clear Lake, the town and the lake itself. This property has been beautifully appointed and equipped with the latest technology - from check in to check out, the WIFI, the TVs, the Sonos speakers. Loved the renovations. The family could bond with games, food, walks, bike rides, getting out on the lake and just hanging out. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Spot In Clear Lake

This is a beautiful vacation home in Clear Lake. It is across the street from the lake and has lake views. We spent most of our time on the front deck relaxing with family. Our two adult children, their spouses, and four grandchildren stayed with us. There are quiet spaces for babies to nap and young kids to play. The house is spotless and is stocked with everything you need. The grill made it easy to feed a crowd and there is also a fire pit in the back. We loved our stay and would return when visiting family in the area.

Spectacular home

We rented this home for my daughters birthday weekend with our family and enjoyed it very much. The backyard is nice & large enough to enjoy a round of bean bags in. The kitchen had all the amenities you need. It’s wonderful to have the basic household items provided. We have stayed many places that don’t offer this so it is a perk. Ben was wonderful with our check-in experience & followed up to make sure we were all good. Five stars!

Great Memories!

Perfect home on the lake! We still have teens at home and an adult child with her own little family. This home offered lots of options for spending time together, while still giving us the privacy we needed. The home had everything we needed for our stay and was very well organized. Cleanliness is very important to me, and this home did not disappoint. The host was very quick to respond, and very accommodating. We have rented several vacation homes and this one was one of my favorites!
