Amazing stay!

The Perch was absolutely gorgeous. We loved spending our day on the dock, using the diving board, and sitting around the fire pit. There were plenty of beds for our group and I will definitely be booking again.

Water craft(s) are a must

The inside of home was pretty mush as pictured. Very nice. Few useful items missing from Kitchen as well as not enough daily cleaning supplies for an extended stay. And there wasn’t clear shelving in pantry to store our items. Cluttered with food. . Same with freezer. The house location on bay is nice. Back Yard is spacious and has lots of potential. Deck was loaded with spiders and webs. Big ones. Given the roofed area over the dock is riddle with them I can see how the lounge area would be difficult to keep up with. We left the spiders alone they left us alone. Clearlake area gets hot. Swims in water are must during the day and the area around dock has a lot of growth and even some trash floating around. So you have to paddle or boat out. Paddling can be tricky once the wind kicks up. A great workout getting back if you are across the bay and the wind is pushing you back out. The wind came in every afternoon for sure. Sometimes earlier or sporadically. It did made for perfect late evenings with the deck lighting. Sunsets were gorgeous. The growth and “islands” near were hot spot for fishing. Hopefully washer and dryer access happens for future guests. If you have your own boat. I’d say this is a good place to rent.

Unforgettable honeymoon

This place was amazing. Everything you can think of was available at the house. The boat dock made it extremely easy to keep our fishing boat right at the house the whole time. The road getting in was a little narrrow and tight but we mamaged just fine. Everyone was extremely friendly in the neighborhood. This was an unforgettable honeymoon trip, we hope to celebrate it here every year now. Thank you to our amazing hosts for allowing us to stay an extra day

We lived, and grew up in the Kelseyville area. Our family rented 3 houses on Willow. Hanging out cooking, paddling around, and some fishing, and visiting; it was a special experience.

Beautiful house and location

The house is at a beautiful and peaceful location, right on the lake. Deck in the backyard is really nice to enjoy the lake, its beauty and warm weather (during spring and summer). We also used the paddle boat they have, and my kid loved it. Will definitely recommend others to come and enjoy this property. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of housekeeping. The house had spider webs in lot of places, dirt on the corners, soap or detergent not refilled. Bottom room’s heater won’t really heat up the room (the top bunk bed becomes warm but the bottom bed remains cold). Past that, we enjoyed our stay every much.

Thanksgiving stay

The view itself was worth every penny, but it was very well suited for my family. We had dogs, and kids that wanted to fish. So it was perfect! Only a 20 min drive to Clearlake state park where we had a couple of wonderful hikes. The views at night and in the morning were priceless. It was an amazing time. The neighbors were all very sweet as well.

Birthday weekend escape

Although the check in process could have been smoother- the view and the cleanliness of the house made it all worth it! The area was so peaceful. The view was breath taking and simply people watching from the kitchen table was all we needed. We were able to catch two BIG catfish! (16lbs and 11lbs) If you are looking for a little escape from technology and the day to day rush. This Vrbo is highly recommended! The whole time we were discussing when we should come back. Amazing place, highly recommended!!

Annual summer trip to the lake

We had 4 adults, 2 kids & dogs, whom all enjoyed a fun 5-night stay at The Perch. Soda Bay was lovely, quiet and serene, with lots of great nature watching. Look out for the Osprey nest on the telephone pole right out front! The boat lift was not available (owner’s boat occupied) and we thought it would be, but there are whips on one side of the dock, which worked out. Overall, we had a great stay, but only caught one bass fish, despite going out daily. We hope to return to The Perch at Soda Bay one summer. Thank you!

Great view

Although the fishing wasn’t that great, the stay was wonderful. We ran into a couple of mishaps due to the storm but all was resolved and had a several great days to enjoy the lake. We kayaked, fished, and used the paddle boat that was there. It was a wonderful stay overall. We all had a great time. It was plenty stocked with cookware, utensils, linens and plenty of room for sleeping and seating. The deck was wonderful. We enjoyed the outdoor areas. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Joe for checking in with us as well.
