A warm, inviting lake house built for family reunions and fishing trips alike, where you can cast a line off your own covered dock by day and soak under the stars by night. Any season, any time, rain or shine, there's something here for everyone.
The Pelican Place is located on the deepest channel of The Keys and the closest channel to the main lake, where everything you need to relax, fish and unwind is already waiting in your own backyard.
Everyone finds their own way to unwind here, whether that's sinking into the six-person hot tub with the deck lights low and the lake dark and still, or grabbing a rod off the private covered dock just steps from the back door. Cast a line before breakfast, reel one in after dinner, or let the kids do it for you.
Inside, the open-concept living room welcomes everyone around a 50-inch smart TV and cozy bar seating, the kitchen is stocked for a full house with a Keurig, waffle maker and blender, and the game room down the hall offers arcade classics, an electronic dartboard and a pedal boat parked by the door for lake access whenever the mood strikes. Voted the #1 Bass Lake in America by Bassmaster in 2025, Clearlake Oaks, California is exactly the kind of place families and fishermen come back to summer after summer.
This is a home where family and friends come together to create lifelong memories, where the laughter carries out over the water and every trip brings the hope of a record-setting catch.
Step straight off the deck onto your own covered dock, rigged and ready for an early cast or an evening line before dinner.
Soak away the day under the stars in a hot tub built for the whole crew, lounger and jets included.
Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter, Ridge Racer and an electronic dartboard keep the rainy-day blues away.
Paddle straight out from the dock on the pedal boat and explore the quiet channels of The Keys at your own pace.
A Keurig, waffle maker and blender make it easy to feed a full house without a single trip into town.
Pet friendly through and through, with a fenced side-yard run where the family dog can stretch their legs safely.
From dock to deck to game room, The Pelican Place is stocked for families, fishermen and everyone in between.

Toes in warm sand, kids chasing grebes along the reeds, and a quiet cove made for slow mornings on the water.
The old volcano watching over Clear Lake invites you to climb its ridgeline trail for a view that stretches across the whole valley.
Cast off the dock at sunrise on the lake Bassmaster crowned the best bass fishery in America, where the next big one is always one more cast away.
Wander boardwalks through a 10,000-year-old tule marsh where herons lift off the water and the whole family can spot a hundred kinds of birds.
Follow Clear Lake's only outlet into oak-shaded canyons where the current slows just enough for an easy paddle or a lazy afternoon on the bank.
Pine-scented trails wind through a forest reborn after fire, perfect for a family hike or an easy mountain-bike loop under tall trees.
