PERLA del LAGO is the best - what more can you say except the location is great with views over the lake that can't be beaten. Bill and Kim really make sure that there is everything you need for your break. We met some great people and had some great experiences - will definately come back again. You can't help but relax.
We are making sure that everyone we talk to knows we had a really great holiday – we think it’s one of our best ever and will definitely get back to Lake County sometime soon. We are still boring everyone to death with our holiday pictures and long may it last.

In our last 15+ years of vacationing around the world this has been THE BEST vacation home we have ever rented.
Bill and Kim went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and welcoming.
The views from this place are amazing, we had a great time relaxing in the solitude and the wide arms of nature. Be it the star gazing, or the bird watching, every aspect of our stay was memorable. Cant wait to get back out there very soon. |

| We came to Clear Lake to test our new 4WD vehicle on the dirt roads of the Mendocino National Forest a few miles behind Perla del Lago, but we found the house so comfortable and well-situated that we were tempted to do nothing but watch the wild turkeys, hawks and other birds during the day and watch the stars and listen to the crickets and the CD collection of Bill Evans, Diana Krall and other jazz favorites at night. The photographs of the stylish interior are good, but the reality is even better, particularly if you are a Francophile or Italophile. Five stars. |

Bill & Kim, What an unbelievable weekend! This place is fantastic. It was so relaxing that it is going to be very hard to get back to work. I had such a great time at the OItalian Village Dinner-Event, also! It brought back wonderful memories. And to top it off, I got to enjoy it with some wonderful friends. Grazie per Tutto!! PS. This place makes me want to remodel my house! :)

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. The home, music, books, views reflect your life. We enjoyed the hill walks-beautiful & quiet, a wonderful time to reflect-a time we treasured. Yes, this is truly a work of God. Thank you for your welcome, as all the information you left or provided was helpful and thoughtful. Looking forward to meeting you both in person! Thanks!

Wow! We thought we walked into a villa in the South of France. We have a mutual appreciation for French County and we found it in your decor. Your taste in music is impeccable and they set the mood for the evenings and dinner.

We had a wonderful relaxing retreat with our friends. Your beautiful home exceeded our expectations (which is always nice)! Everything is very tasteful and thoughtful. We enjoyed the majesty of God's creation from the view on the deck. WOW! As a sidenote, we also enjoyed the CD "Paris" from your collection. Great tunes! Thank you for a wonderful weekend. May the Lord draw us closer to know Him and His grace.

I have traveled and stayed at many places-this home, this beautiful place, is by far the best! I felt at home, comfortable and relaxed. The breathtaking views are "heavenly". I don't want to go home. I can leave it today because I am returning. Until then, I will keep this place in my heart.

I was a little nervous about this trip because, [1] it was a last minute decision, [2] I found it on Craigslist, [3] I was by myself, [4] I've never been to Lake County, so I didn't know the area or what to expect. Well, let's just say, all expectations were blown away. First, the drive up here was spectactular and the house is gorgeous, took my breath away. This was the perfect escape from my hectic city life and exactly what I needed to reflect on God's blessings.

Today we celebrated our 1st year of marriage and we're so blessed to enjoy it here. It felt like a bit of what God's eternal heaven might be like when I stepped out onto the balcony and saw the fog lifting and the mountains, sparkling water and sunshine peek through and the great stars & planets. Truly God's beauty is evident here.

Talk about the perfect spot for a honeymoon! It's not Disneyland...it's not Niagara Falls...it's not the top of the Eiffel Tower. No. It's better than all that. We were at such peace sharing our first "married for life" days together here with the gentle waters of the lake and the twinkling of warm lights outlining it. These past few days were created just for us!!!

We enjoyed staying at the house so much, we didn't want to leave! The view was great and we had nice relaxing time. We had a chance to visit the nearby wineries and we grilled up some steaks. Thanks so much for your hospitality and your bottle of wine.

| Traveling from San Fran up to Eureka and back in one week was more exhausting than we thought. When we booked our one night reservation at Perla del Laga, we realized last minute we would need another night to relax, rejuvenate and renew! The owner, his family, and his staff were more than accommodating and helpful. The beautiful house had just the right touches and was so clean. The accommodations were comfortable for all - my 86 yr old grandmother, parents, 26 yr old brother, and myself! We loved waking up to the view, eating on the deck and watching movies at night! All of the recommendations provided were great. We would certainly come back and stay again next time we are in CA. |

Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us! We had a wonderful 1-year anniversary here and plan to have many more trips to Clear Lake. The view is surreal here and the lake is loads of fun. We had our first jet-ski experience together this weekend. Your house is so nice & comfortable.

| I had an absolutely delightful time staying at Perla del Lago. Everything I could ever want was provided: breathtaking 180-degree views from the spacious deck, beautiful decor and furnishings, a fully-stocked kitchen, CDs, DVDs, satellite TV, two lovely bedrooms and bathrooms, and tremendously hospitable hosts. There is no doubt that I will be coming back, and often! |

| You could imagine how frustrated we were after 6 hours driving to Clear Lake, which should have taken only 3 hours instead if it were not in the memorial holiday. But, at the first look of the house, we knew immediately it's worth every boring minute in the traffic. We had a really wonderful time there, not just for the great view, but also for all the comfortness and considerations in the house. We could just stay on the deck for the whole day chatting. And the owner keeps a good collection of CDs, DVDs, books, games. You could never get bored, and you'd hate to leave. I would recommend it to anyone. :) |

In planning a last minute trip to an area we've never been, our expectations weren't exactly high. However, this has been one of the most enjoyable and memorable trips we have taken. Due highly, of course, to the beautiful home, breathtaking views and hospitality you provided.

| Lovely, really lovely. My two sisters and I visited and our reunion was enhanced by the ambience of this home. This web site isn't the least bit overstated; in fact, you'll find many pleasurable extras. The crisp bed linens, thirsty towels, abundant kitchen staples (pots, pans, utensils), well-appointed bathrooms, comfy furniture. The view is wonderful and so is their home. You'll love staying there. Pat Ball |

The first time I came here was with my fiance, we
were shocked at how amazing the view was.
Evenings on the deck, overlooking the lake, were
absolutley beautiful and very romantic. I then came
here a second time with a group of friends and
everyone agreed that it was a perfect place to stay.
It was way more roomy than a hotel, and we had
the freedom to cook our own meals and have the
deck all to ourselves. So I highly suggest this to
anyone who wants an amazing getaway with
friends, or a romantic retreat with a loved one. |
