The Lake Cottage on Soda Bay-Pet Friendly, Private Deck, Dock & Kayaks

Relaxing and quiet lake front cottage on Clear Lake, located adjacent to the Soda Bay hot springs. The private deck, dock offers an excellent panoramic view which is perfect for bird watching and taking in the beautiful evening sunsets. It’s also a fisherman’s paradise. Don’t forget your pole. The area is also fantastic for kayaking and paddle boarding in your backyard. We have two kayaks available that we offer to our guests. Wine taste in the Red Hills Ava which is known for their Cabernet Sauvignon or hike at the Clearlake State Park.

Short stay at the lake
Nice spot right on the lake. Our stay was only a couple of days at the end of a longer vacation. Lots of things to explore during a longer stay. Enjoyed our stay though. Contacted the host a couple of times and he was very quick to respond and very helpful. Thanks!

Kayak on Soda Bay
Great property for a small group and dogs. Greeted by nice wines. Fabulous to have waterfront and be able to slip their kayaks right in the water. Clean and quiet property. Relaxing yard and deck. Spotted an otter, herons, and egrets.

Perfect Getaway - Beautiful view
What a wonderful stay for a post Christmas/New Years getaway! The weather wasn't perfect but it didn't matter since the house was warm and comfortable, there were lots of games and puzzles and one only needed a hot beverage (also provided) to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The house was clean, updated and the beds were comfortable. We had fun in the kayaks once the weather cleared up. The welcome wine was a wonderful touch as well. Thank you thank you!

Soda Bay was Great!!
We had a great stay at Soda Bay - booking and check in was a breeze. The deck was amazing both morning and evening. Fire pit was great - the dogs loved the backyard. Lots of waterfowl to watch. Boat worked great for our bass boat - caught most fish right out from the house!! Great visit and would love to come back again - gonna miss that view.

Rejuvenating Weekend Away
My family (self, husband, 10yr old, and dog) had a deeply relaxing stay at this perfectly located cottage. The views overlook the private dock, expanse of the lake and mountains beyond. A nearby wetland became ideal for bird watching all day long and a short paddle away and we could watch the bubbling action of natural volcanic springs. It was a perfect getaway to play games, paddle board and kayak, and spend time with family. The hosts were responsive and very welcoming with local wine.

Great Lake views on the water
The place was easy to get in, owners were great and quick to respond with any issues. The views of the water were amazing, and the propane fire pit on the deck was great for night time relaxing. The wife and I even took the kayaks out for a few trips around the bay and was great fun. Little cold because it was off season, but to be expected and the heater was powerful! Super cozy little weekend trip with the InLaws

July stay at the Cottage
This was a great location for our family to spend time together. Our hosts left interesting historical information and recommendations for nearby resturants and sights. They even left a wine selection that we enjoyed and other convienient "creature comforts". The cottage is near geothermal features of the lake. We enjoyed all of the abunant wildlife such as the Osprey nest right above the neighbor's house. It was a couple hour drive to the coast for the day and an easy drive to explore closer towns. We enjoyed our get away.

Made for those balmy nights watching the sunset and the stars rise
My favorite spot was looking back to the house and seeing Mt Konocti looming above. But there was also a young family of Northern Goshawks (I think) eager for their parents to come home with supper - an amazing sight and and sound. Sunsets were amazing and we caught a few of the laggard Perseids as they skipped off the atmosphere. For city dwellers seeing the night sky where there is no light pollution is an indelible memory and visual feast of fascination and exploration.

Teen getaway
I took my daughter and 4 of her friends to Clear Lake to relax and get away. We had prefect weather while we were visiting so it was fantastic. We used the kayaks that were at the house and we brought two paddle boards. They had a great time paddling and swimming all day long. The bedroom/bathroom arrangement was prefect. The kids had their space and I had mine. Sunsets and sunrises were spectacular. Also lots of birds to watch. We were able to make simple meals in the kitchen, it had everything we needed. A prefect short getaway for all.

Blissful Laketime
The photographs don't do it justice! There was ample space, 2 living areas, and the rooms were a great size. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything you need including pots and pans, pasta strainer, can opener, Keurig coffee maker, even a smore making machine! The appliances were all newer and worked very well. The showers and water pressure was great, and the view onto the lake was amazing. The kids had a ball, and the deck was nice to sit on and watch them swim from. There is a little store about 2 minutes away in case you forgot something. Scott was fast to respond and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

lake oasis & great hosts
We let ourselves in to the beautiful Lake House to find a handwritten note and several bottles of wine to enjoy during our stay from the hosts. The Lake was very low (hi, global warming) so we didn't get to take advantage of the dock but we used the lake level as a reason to go exploring with our dogs! They LOVED it and we loved watching them swim with the ducks and splash around as we explored the "bottom of the lake". Sitting in the extremely cozy lounge chairs next to the fire whilst watching the rain fall over the lake whilst enjoying a glass of wine made for the perfect relaxation destination. It was quite a magical view to see the many deer pass through the area. We definitely enjoyed our stay and hope to return during the warmer season to enjoy the kayak, beautiful deck, and once again enjoy waking up to the amazing view!

The kind of place I'd buy if I could...
I visited the lake house in early May for a remote work and fishing trip. Had easy access to the lake with my kayak. Kept it on the dock and launched whenever I wanted to from there. Easy parking for my SUV and kayak trailer. Great area on Soda Bay with easy access from the dock to the state park area and Henderson Point using my kayak. There were even 2 kayaks included should you need them. House was fabulous. Pics don't really do it justice. There is more space than I expected. Could have easily brought my whole family thanks to the front bedrooms, bunkbeds, and nice bathroom. Kitchen was small but perfect and the owners even included 4 bottles of wine to try. The bathrooms were great - the lakeside master with on-suite includes a soaking tub. I haven't used one of those in a while and enjoyed it after a long day of work and fishing. Overall, this place is fantastic and I would stay again and will plan to. Thanks to Scott for making it available!

My spouse and I wanted to stay in this area to stargaze with our basic telescope. The cottage has a beautiful view of the sky. A couple of bowls in the cupboard has been put away without being cleaned first, but our stay was otherwise great. Nicole was very responsive and kind.

Wonderful Stay
What’s there not to like about this property?! Everything you could need is at your fingertips. They two kayaks were perfect for my wife and I. Launching them from the private dock was amazing! There is also a little hot spring less than a minute kayak ride from the dock! We brought our own groceries and the house had everything else we needed. We enjoyed all of our meals outside and had a wonderful time using the fire cooking bbq. The welcome binder was extremely informative with a lot of great info! Host left some surprise welcome gifts as well! All in all, highly recommend this home!

House a very spacious lay out with two good sized bathrooms and a really nice kitchen. We were able to BBQ dinner one night while taking in the lake views.
