Welcome to The Fox Den, a waterfront property over looking Ventura Bay and Clear Lake. The Fox Den got it's name from the the original 1940's cabin that sat on this property and the baby fox that lived under this front porch when we purchased the property. While staying here, you will enjoy the beautifully wooded, quaint atmosphere of Ventura Heights, while just minutes away from Clear Lake's local shops and down town, lake-life atmosphere. Whether you're here to fish, enjoy water sports, or just spending time relaxing with family, this home is sure meet all of your needs!

Bringing the kids, no problem! We have a pack'n play, convertible booster seat/highchair, extra bibs, and extra wipes (we've all been there!) Forgot something? We hope to have extras of most things you'll need during your stay. There are folding chairs, life jackets, etc. in the lower level storage closet.

There is a 2 Stall Garage with 2 car drive way. There is a public access on one side of the property that is available for additional parking, but not overnight.

2ND FLOOR LOFT: Enjoy a view from the 2nd floor balcony that over looks the main level and a full wall of windows looking directly out to the lake. This floor has a full bathroom with a double-sink vanity and shower. One of the bedrooms on this floor includes a full over full bunk bed with a twin trundle bed underneath, sleeping 5. The other two bedrooms each include a queen bed (sleeping 2 people per room) and overlook a picturesque wooded area.

Beautiful home with a view!

A beautiful home with everything you could possibly need! The windows looking out to the lake gave us the most spectacular view for a late night storm with big cracks of thunder and lightening. The kitchen is fully stocked, every room sparkling clean, and the surrounding area was fun to stroll. Property owner was quick to respond to my questions. The beds are comfortable and though the house is big, gathering spaces are so cozy. Five stars all around!

Beautiful home

What an amazing home! We had a great time for our annual girls’ weekend. The only downfall was parking, but the views were absolutely priceless!! Thanks for the great stay.

Perfect reunion house

My siblings and our spouses all gathered for the Labor Day weekend. The house is lovely -- airy and full of light. The view over the lake is spectacular. It was the perfect place to spend time as a family. Though we all live in Iowa, we had never been to the Clear Lake area. We were all really impressed with the lake, the Clear Lake community and particularly Mason City. The Frank Lloyd-Wright house museum and hotel are a must-see!

Great Clear Lake House

Home was exactly as pictured on site. Beautiful! Plenty of room for 6 adults, a two year old and newborn. Kitchen was nicely stocked with everything you need to cook. Nice walking trails nearby and even tho other homes around, it was quiet and peaceful. If we head back to Clear Lake in future we would definitely book again!
