A New Retreat at Clear Clear Lake, A Uniquely Iowan Experience

"This property has all the comforts of home. The kitchen is equipped with all of the appliances, utensils, cook and bakeware needed to prepare any meal.

"We were in Clear Lake Iowa to attend a Christmas concert at the Surf Ballroom. Our original reserved room was on the 2nd level. This property has no elevator, which was surprising. When employee at the desk saw me walking with a cane, she immediately offered to change our room to first level at no extra charge, which was very much appreciated. Free breakfast was nice, and coffee was good. Only downside to our stay was barking dog, and very lumpy pillows."
