About this property

Ron’s Landing - A Place to Slow Down, Gather Together & Make Lasting Memories

Some vacations are about checking attractions off a list. The best ones are about the people you’re with.

Welcome to Ron’s Landing, our family’s tribute to the simple joys of Clear Lake and the father who taught us to appreciate them. For years, weekends here meant mornings on the lake, afternoons spent together, evenings around the campfire, and conversations that lasted long after the sun went down. Those moments became some of our family’s greatest memories, and when we renovated this home, our goal wasn’t simply to create a vacation rental. We wanted to create a place where other families and friends could slow down, reconnect, and create traditions of their own.

Nestled on a quiet private drive with beautiful views of Clear Lake, Ron’s Landing blends the charm of small-town Americana with the comforts of a thoughtfully updated home. Whether you’re here for a week on the water, a cozy fall weekend, winter ice fishing, or simply a chance to unplug from everyday life, you’ll find spaces designed for both gathering together and enjoying a little quiet.

With three bedrooms, two family rooms, a sitting room, a four-season sunroom overlooking the lake, a screened porch, an upstairs deck, and a spacious backyard with a fire pit, there’s room for everyone to settle in. Share a meal around the dining table, play board games in the sunroom, sip coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake, spend an evening around the fireplace or fire pit, or simply enjoy the slower pace that makes Clear Lake so special.

We furnished Ron’s Landing the way we would want a vacation home to feel if we were the guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, double ovens, cookware, spices, oils, and many of the little things that are often missing from vacation rentals. Throughout the home you’ll find comfortable beds, quality linens, charging stations, Sonos speakers, games, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and thoughtful touches intended to make your stay comfortable from the moment you arrive.

Clear Lake offers something to enjoy in every season. Spend your days boating, swimming, paddleboarding, fishing, cycling, shopping downtown, exploring local restaurants, visiting the Surf Ballroom, or taking peaceful walks through the surrounding neighborhoods. In the winter, enjoy a day on the ice before returning home to warm up by the fireplace. While the property does not have a private dock, public boat ramps, State Beach, and convenient lake access are only minutes away.

One thing we’re especially proud of is what our guests say after they leave. They consistently describe Ron’s Landing as exceptionally clean, thoughtfully stocked, comfortable, peaceful, and welcoming. Many mention that they appreciated having enough room for everyone to gather without ever feeling crowded, while others say it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a family lake home. Perhaps our favorite compliment is how many guests tell us they can’t wait to come back.

We hope you’ll feel the same way. Welcome to Ron’s Landing, where life slows down, memories are made, and family traditions begin.

For the security of our guests and the property, two exterior security cameras monitor only the front and back entry doors. There are no interior cameras or cameras overlooking guest living areas.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Ben and my spouse is Chris and we're very excited to host you. We enjoy traveling quite a bit ourselves and have always preferred short-term vacation rentals to better experience and explore new places. We reside primarily in Iowa but are lucky to have remote careers that allow us to travel.

Why they chose this property

Clear Lake is a special place to me; growing up my grandparents had a cottage which is just a couple of blocks away from this property. We spent many summer weekends there with the family and extended family. After watching the market for a years for the right house to come on the market, this one did in fall 2021 so we jumped on it. We've spent countless hours updating and refreshing it with family and friends. We want it to be bright, inviting, cozy and a place for our family and yours to make incredibly memories at.

What makes this property unique

This home is designed to have some great gathering spaces as well as some private areas. A nice front deck, a screened in back patio, a grilling area and a fire pit are all great spaces to spend time with friends as well as the open kitchen and living room. There is a smaller second story patio, a den and a second living room for when you want a smaller space. While not waterfront, this home still has views of the lake and is minutes away from public beaches.
