“Upta Camp” Lake House
This lake house was the perfect location for exploring the Clear Lake/Mason City area. We were there during the off season so it was very quiet. Well equipped kitchen, nice living room, comfy bed, and great front porch.

Great Cottage
We had a wonderful stay in the Cottage. It was also a great visit in Clear Lake. The 4 seasons room is terrific and was a great place to gather, rest and hang out. We were very comfortable.

Making memories
The place was nice, clean and easy access to pm park. There are stairs but it was still easy access for my 80+ year old parents. They were able to access the main parts of the house by entering on the top side of the property with very few stairs. Nice place to stay.

Loved this property!
We had an amazing week staying here! Such a cute, quaint cottage that worked perfectly for our needs. Would definitely stay here again and our friends who stayed with us were going to look into renting later this summer. Fully stocked with every we needed. The sunroom was by far my favorite spot in the house……great spot for morning coffee, socializing and evening cocktails! Owner checked in shortly after our arrival to make sure all was good. Thank you John and Terri for letting us enjoy your place!
