Your Hosts

We are proud Clear Lake natives with strong roots in the community, and our love for this town runs generations deep. 

Having grown up here and continuing to spend much of our free time on its shores, we bring a lifetime of local knowledge—everything from the best spots to watch a summer sunset, to hidden trails, seasonal festivals, and year-round activities that showcase Clear Lake’s charm. Nothing makes us happier than helping visitors experience the true character of our hometown, and we’re always glad to share personalized recommendations tailored to your interests.

As frequent vacation rental guests and seasoned world travelers, we’ve drawn on our own travel experiences to shape every detail of this home.

From comfortable, thoughtfully chosen furnishings to the amenities that make travel effortless. Our goal is to provide the kind of stay we seek out ourselves—welcoming, stress-free, and infused with authentic local flavor. Whether you’re here for a relaxing getaway, an adventure on the water, or to explore the area’s rich history and events, we hope you’ll leave with the same love for Clear Lake that has kept us here all these years.  

Thanks for visiting!
