Home in Clear Lake

MaryRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Stayed at Trevor’s house for the second time and it was great once again! The occasion was a gathering for 7 of my ex high school classmates and myself, and we meet in Clear Lake because it’s about a 2-hour drive for all of us (halfway in between my location in Des Moines and their homes in Minnesota). Trevor is very responsive and replied to my messages quickly. The house is very clean, beds are comfortable, and it worked out perfectly for us! Thanks, Trevor! I hope we’ll be back again soon!
