"Wish I could give it ten stars on location. Old house but well taken care of. "

"Our family/friends had a great stay during MEA weekend. Emily is a wonderful host who was very accommodating! Would definitely recommend."

"We celebrated New Year’s Eve and had our family’s Christmas celebration at this facility for the second consecutive year. The host lives next door and was quick to respond to our questions but gave us the privacy we desired. The quaint downstairs area features an old fashioned kitchen, seating area with a gas fireplace, large dining area, private bedroom and a bathroom. The upstairs loft includes a large open sleeping area, game room and living room where the siblings all stayed. "

"The house was delightful. Lots of room for socializing, playing cards and feasting after hours of hiking or snowshoeing. Host Sara responded thoughtfully to our 2 text questions immediately. The house was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities our group needed. This would be a great house for a warm season visit with family or friends. "

"A very nice place. Very clean and comfortable. Only thing is that the coffee pot is difficult to use. Maybe get a new coffee pot or write directions that it takes a while before you can hit brew. Thank you!"

"We really came just to stay in the house and spend some time with our new great grand baby, The house was perfect for that. "

"This was a great location for us and we would try to stay here again. The place is super clean, nice beds, great bathrooms. Super simple check in and no issues with check out. We enjoyed our time there. Do note that a huge part of the upstairs is almost like a big landing with lots of beds, so without a door to the lower level its easy to hear most everything downstairs. The main bedroom, however, would work for anyone needing absolute quiet. This wasn't a negative for our group. Would...

"Great house that was plenty big for our family. Location was great and right across from the boat ramp, which made it easy for fishing. The front porch area was amazing. Great to be out there to Watch the sunrise and have dinners. "

"This property could not have been nicer and perfect for families. We will definitely be back."

"This Fertile house was a perfect place to spend a few nights. My family of four was able to spread out and my girls especially loved the gorgeous upstairs bedroom. Plus we were within walking distance to our favorite Iowa restaurant, Cafe Mir. "

"My girlfriend and I always like to find unique places to visit. In wanting to see the Surf Ballroom and visit Blue Earth, MN, this was the perfect in between spot. The host was extraordinarily quick in responded, was watching out for us, and the property was exactly as it was detailed online. I would definitely stay here again!"

"We needed a place to stay while visiting friends in Forest City. This house was perfect for us. I wish we had more time to explore the lake."

"The weather was cold and windy, but the views were absolutely beautiful. The house is open and spacious. There was enough room for our group of 10 to be able to spend quality time together around the table or hang on the couch in the living room. The beds were super comfy and nice sized rooms. Overall, it was the perfect place for our group to be able to meet up, hang out, and reconnect! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place!"

"Nice clean and comfy house with all the amenities. Great location on the lake. Found lots to do in town and on the lake. Close to town, even walking distance. Definitely would rent this house again. "

"You can't go wrong in renting the Clausen Home. This Historic home has been beautifully remodeled and is a very comfortable, relaxing place to stay, especially if you are traveling in a large group! The home is conveniently located in town and in a location where you can get to many attractions very quickly. We love staying here every time we visit Clear Lake. "

"We had the pleasure of staying here for our annual college girlfriend weekend! This place was very clean and a perfect location to enjoy a beautiful water view. The beds were very comfortable and the house was stocked with everything we needed! Thank you for the fabulous accommodations "
