What guests think
At Clear Lake Cottages & Marina, travelers consistently praise very clean, spacious lakefront cottages with pleasant views, well kept grounds, and quiet surroundings that feel relaxing and private, making it a comfortable base for a short getaway.
Several reviews caution that seasonal algal blooms can make the lake smelly or unusable, and a few found the surrounding area less appealing despite the property feeling safe. Service is widely described as welcoming and proactive, with occasional check-in hiccups and one report of a poor interaction over dock electricity charges. Cottages offer kitchens, dock access, and BBQ areas, plus pet friendly touches, though some maintenance or comfort issues appear, such as slow AC, noisy appliances, thin pillows, or minor equipment problems. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a peaceful cottage base by the water more than swimmers.

Loved the speciousness of the unit; spotlessly clean. And #17 being right on the lake was awesome. We didn't get a chance to use the pool but it, too, was spotlessly clean and inviting. Lori and the asian fellow were great. Short drive to Safeway. We would return and stay longer. 2 nights not enough.

This was our second stay--love that they have goodies for the dog. I do wish that the toilet had been higher. Just be prepared. But lovely view and well-equipped kitchen.

What a fantastic cabin located right on the lake. To look out our window at water with no obstructions was priceless. The cabin was in perfect condition with everything we needed to cook our meals and BBQ. The onsite manager, Bob, couldn't have been nicer. We wanted to BBQ so badly but it was raining. He came out anyway and started the grill and gave us all the utensils. We will be back.

It was real clean but the electricity at the dock didn't work and was not up the code and very dangerous but after telling me he would give me a refund for the electricity not working he ended up charging me anyways and has very shady business practices at that facility. I called to discuss this with Bob and he told me to be quiet and not talk which I am a grown man and will not be talked to in such a manner, I would never recommend anybody to stay at this facility...

Beautiful property and location however everyone who lives locally is on substances and it was really uncomfortable. The property is right off the lake and you get a beautiful view. None of the locals bother you or come near the property so that was good. We were in town visiting my grandparents and clear lake is such a beautiful location. If we do come back I wouldn't mind staying at this location again. Booking was easy along with checking in and out. If you need any assistance the manager is a phone call away. The view is breathtaking! I also liked that our cottage had a stove, so we cooked everyday saving us money. The cleaning ladies were super helpful and attentive as well. Overall it was a great stay. Just be aware of the locals because just about everyone is on substances unfortunately. Also there was a ton of nats/bugs flying around so when you walk, fingers crossed nothing flys in your mouth or eyes lol, but we know its common for lakes to have bugs. Lastly i would recommend this specific property, oh and they allow dogs which is a plus!

Bob was an amazing host who very forth coming with information and his kindness was top notch. The cleaning ladies made sure the place was spectacular and stocked up.

The property is amazing but shot in the knees by rancid stink from Clearlake. This is something that visitors should keep in mind in summers. Also, the AC in our unit took ages to cool the room, something that the management can look into for the upcoming months.

Check in process was easy; veranda and lake view was awesome, though only two veranda chairs for a 4 person unit. Everything was clean and kitchenware was adequate. Hot water and shower were good, and two vanities helped w girls v boys needs. Though a paper bag was left on the kitchen table w coffee and bathroom supplies, we did not realize until the next day to look for soap and shampoo etc in that bag. It would have been better to: 1) tell lodgers in the info ring binder that these supplies were there , and 2) have enough supplies for the number of people due to stay, specifically shampoo etc. We were promised a dog bed so didn’t bring our pup’s bed but all they had was a sheet and towel for the dog. The dog food dishes were great, as well as the frisbee. For us, the worst were this beds. Some of our party are “bigger people” and the bed mattress was such that one of our family was forced to sleep on the couch after the first very sleep-deprived night. Also, as we were there during cold and rainy weather, having a couple of available blankets would have been good.

The comfort started with the friendly one on one communication with Bob, and as we talked his wonderful offer to upgrade our room to a bit more accessible room so my boyfriend (who doesn't always walk comfortably) could park right in front of our cottage...just such a comfy vibe. Then when we arrived at our wonderful and secure cottage in a really lovely area of Clear Lake Bob stopped by with goodies for us and our pup...so nice! We watched a lovely sunset behind Mount Konocti while we drank our champagne, then went to Howard's Grotto for a fabulous Prime Rib and Filet Mignon dinner. We had a wonderful stay. Only a few critiques: The heater fan (which pumped out delicious heat) was quite noisy all night. I also like a very dark room to sleep in but the shades did not provide that (black out curtains of some kind would be nice). The very roomy shower (nice) did not really crank out the kind of hot water my boyfriend and I enjoy. It was hot but would have liked it hotter. But these were minor issues compared to the very beautiful place and the warm hospitality shown by Bob, the manager. A real gem. We will return again!

The cottage was absolutely delightful, and we’re hoping to come back for New Years! The check in process never did work quite right, but we got inside (not sure if we checked out properly, though - hope so!). We just happened to get there during a heat wave and algal bloom, but that’s not the property’s fault. Lovely place!

Location
Lakefront setting with quiet, scenic views is a major draw, and guests felt the property itself is safe. Several reviews warn that seasonal algal blooms can cause strong odors or limit water use, and the surrounding area can feel rough.

Loved the speciousness of the unit; spotlessly clean. And #17 being right on the lake was awesome. We didn't get a chance to use the pool but it, too, was spotlessly clean and inviting. Lori and the asian fellow were great. Short drive to Safeway. We would return and stay longer. 2 nights not enough.

Such a pretty location. Our cottage was spotless and very comfortable except the pillows were a bit thin. We really enjoyed our stay. It was lovely looking out at the lake from inside the cottage and the patio. Dog friendly. Easy communication.

The property is amazing but shot in the knees by rancid stink from Clearlake. This is something that visitors should keep in mind in summers. Also, the AC in our unit took ages to cool the room, something that the management can look into for the upcoming months.

Great location, right next to the lake, with partial lake views from the porch. Check-in and check out were seamless. Staff were super responsive. Room was clean and interiors seem to have been recently remodeled

The property itself is beautiful, peaceful and a safe place to walk around. The area surrounding and driving through to get to the property is another story. We stayed Lakefront , so beautiful! We will stay again!

The stay itself was great, just the water there in Clearlake was very disappointing. Just to come so far to enjoy the water and it was so bad... However the stay at Clearlake Marina and cottage was great, the property was lovley....

The place was rundown. The lake has green slime, smells really bad and you can’t swim in it. What’s the sense of going to a lake if you can enjoy the water.

Beautiful property and location however everyone who lives locally is on substances and it was really uncomfortable. The property is right off the lake and you get a beautiful view. None of the locals bother you or come near the property so that was good. We were in town visiting my grandparents and clear lake is such a beautiful location. If we do come back I wouldn't mind staying at this location again. Booking was easy along with checking in and out. If you need any assistance the manager is a phone call away. The view is breathtaking! I also liked that our cottage had a stove, so we cooked everyday saving us money. The cleaning ladies were super helpful and attentive as well. Overall it was a great stay. Just be aware of the locals because just about everyone is on substances unfortunately. Also there was a ton of nats/bugs flying around so when you walk, fingers crossed nothing flys in your mouth or eyes lol, but we know its common for lakes to have bugs. Lastly i would recommend this specific property, oh and they allow dogs which is a plus!

Unit itself was perfect….other than noisy refrigerator that kept us awake. Algae bloom REALLY stinky! Not their problem….we just didn’t know ahead of time. Dining in town very poor.

What a fantastic cabin located right on the lake. To look out our window at water with no obstructions was priceless. The cabin was in perfect condition with everything we needed to cook our meals and BBQ. The onsite manager, Bob, couldn't have been nicer. We wanted to BBQ so badly but it was raining. He came out anyway and started the grill and gave us all the utensils. We will be back.

The comfort started with the friendly one on one communication with Bob, and as we talked his wonderful offer to upgrade our room to a bit more accessible room so my boyfriend (who doesn't always walk comfortably) could park right in front of our cottage...just such a comfy vibe. Then when we arrived at our wonderful and secure cottage in a really lovely area of Clear Lake Bob stopped by with goodies for us and our pup...so nice! We watched a lovely sunset behind Mount Konocti while we drank our champagne, then went to Howard's Grotto for a fabulous Prime Rib and Filet Mignon dinner. We had a wonderful stay. Only a few critiques: The heater fan (which pumped out delicious heat) was quite noisy all night. I also like a very dark room to sleep in but the shades did not provide that (black out curtains of some kind would be nice). The very roomy shower (nice) did not really crank out the kind of hot water my boyfriend and I enjoy. It was hot but would have liked it hotter. But these were minor issues compared to the very beautiful place and the warm hospitality shown by Bob, the manager. A real gem. We will return again!
