film fest 23

it was really nice. The only thing that was unfortunate is the coffee maker literally took 2 hrs to make 8 cups of coffee. LOL Clear lake is great!

Labor Day Stay

We were here for an event at the Surf Ballroom and the location was perfect. Our only feedback would be to fix the bathroom door to latch (also saw that in another review), lower the microwave (we are short) and have a luggage rack or stand in the second bedroom. All things that didn't impact us significantly, but would have been nice. Thank you!

Great location

This little cottage is a great location to stay if you’re attending a show at the Surf. Only 2 blocks to the ballroom and a block from the lake. Gray restaurants close by as well. Check in and communication with the owner was very easy. Carrie responded to all our questions timely. Will definitely stay there again.

Cute

It’s an ideal location and had everything we needed. The Only thing was there was a lot of bugs and the bathroom door didn’t close all the way. You had to use the bathroom with the door slightly open, which wasn’t great.
