“Wonderful Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

I have literally stayed in hundreds of hotels and B&B's all over the world. I have never stayed anywhere where the hosts made me feel as "at home" as at the Bungalow. Mike and Kathey have thought of everything. Our room was sweet, but the best part was the grounds--with many comfortable, private spots to hang out. And the food was wonderful!

“Ultimate B&B Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

person found this review helpful

My business travel takes me on many back roads. I research accommodations that are a cut above to rest my weary head at night. While surfing the internet (including TripAdvisor), I found The Bungalow - and it was beyond my expectations! Kathey and Mike are the ultimate hosts! Their companion Shamus, a chocolate colored goldendoodle, is sooo cute! The B&B is meticulously reconstructed from an old saloon and tastefully decorated.....The large back deck provides a spectacular view of Clearlake while you sip your wine, read a book, or have a conversation with new friends.... And a hearty and tasty breakfast to send you on your way.

“The perfect, peaceful get-away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011

The Bungalow was the perfect escape from it all. It is so peaceful and relaxing. The Bungalow sits right on the lake so swimming, kayaking, or a canoe ride are right there. There isn't much to do in the "town" of Clear Lake Oaks itself, so you have to drive if you are planning on doing more than just relax by the lake.
Mike and Kathey are the most wonderful hosts. Kathey serves an amazing breakfast. It felt like we were visiting long-lost family members. Since there are only 3 rooms rented out it is not over-crowded and you feel like you are getting the special treatment. We are definitely staying at the Bungalow again!!!

“One of my favorite places to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011

Mike and Kathy run an outstanding bed and breakfast. The rooms are comfortable and cozy, the breakfast and snacks are delicious, and the location on the lake is beautiful. They even took us on a boat ride on the lake.

“Cookies!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

This B&B was such a retreat that it really makes you feel you are on Vacation! Privacy is completely found here.

I am completely addicted to Mike and Kathey's cookies and ice tea (with the perfect amount of sweetness). Breakfast served in the mornings are always scrumptious. My absolute favorite was the Eggs Benedict and Asparagus. Yum!!!!

The only thing that may take a quarter of a star was that the kayak had spiders in it (thinking it has not been used in a while).. I had to hurriedly take off my life vest , run for dear life back to the spa and not kayak anymore because I am deathly afraid of spiders! I know though, if I told Mike about it, he would take care of it.. Quarter star back...
