Great Family Time

This is the first time my family has used a vacation rental. We selected this house because it had the required number of bedrooms and bathrooms we needed.This house is very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is fantastic with lots of granite countertops and an island for cooking. It is completely equipped with stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pots, toasters, blender, hand mixer, crockpot, electric griddle, plenty of pots, pans, dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, beverage and wine glasses, everything you will need to cook and eat. If you are big bakers or have a need for lots of 13x9 pans you might bring your own or buy some that are disposable. If not, then you will have all you need. The amazing thing about this home is that there are homes around it but once you are on the property, you do not see or hear anyone else. There are absolutely breathtaking views of Clear Lake from most rooms. The sunrise was different every morning. There are two large decks off the first and second floors and one small deck off an upstairs bedroom which makes it so nice to view the lake. It is absolutely peaceful, quiet and serene. I live in a city with plenty of police sirens, ambulances, traffic, etc., so it was so wonderful to have such a quiet spot to stay. Just to help you a bit there are two queen bedrooms downstairs, both with private bathrooms. One has a shower and jacuzzi tub and the other a standard tub with shower. Upstairs there is a queen bedroom with a private bath with a shower only, a smaller bedroom that sleeps four on bunkbeds and another queen bedroom that shares a bathroom with the bunkbed room. The larger bedrooms are downstairs and would be considered masters. There are roll-a-way beds and other space for sleeping as well. The owner was great to work with, very nice, tolerated about a million questions from me, allowed us to check in a little early and to check out a little later. Since we were there in January we had no need for lake activities. We did barbecue and there was a very nice propane Weber grill on the first floor deck. The heater worked beautifully and is controlled separately on each floor (also has air conditioning). There is a washer and dryer available. Safeway and CVS Pharmacy are less than 10 minutes away. Also, we had no "unwanted visitors" as I have seen discussed in comments for other vacation rentals. No mice or ants--I didn't even see a spider! We had a fantastic time, I highly recommend this lovely home.
