Blue Fish Cove Resort — Hotel in Clearlake

I really loved our cabin that we stayed in here. We stayed in Cabin #7. The cabin was absolutely adorable for a couple with plenty of space, it was like having a little apartment! The kitchen was an eat-in kitchen with a table, stove, fridge, pots and pans, microwave, everything you need! The bathroom was a little small with shower only, but served its purpose. There is a TV in the bedroom/living area with cable that works fine. Best of all is the huge deck with an amazing view right out on the lake! It's truly spectacular! There is also a grill out on the deck which we used, fantastic! I also really thought it was decorated cute, it is painted in orange (my favorite color) with cute décor, we really had own little private cabin on the lake.||||Some of the cons are that while I thought the place was very clean, my husband felt like they could have done little things to take it up to the next level. For instance, the air conditioner has to be turned on and off outside. The lounge chair on the deck doesn't recline and stand back up properly. The bedding sheet did not fit the bed, so we constantly had to pull the fitted sheet back on, that's annoying and detracts from a good night's sleep. There is no screen door on the front door which lets lots of bugs in every time you use it. Speaking of bugs, there are lots of flying gnats which essentially just sleep on the wall with you, however, you are right on the lake, so I think that is difficult to control. Also, the good news is, despite staying there in the midst of the heat in July, I did not have one mosquito bite coming back. While there are understandably flying little insects around, they appear to be harmless. ||||In addition, it's important to note that this cabin like the majority of others is sort of a do-it-yourself, meaning they don't have any activities planned and I was not made aware of anything they had to rent (although I did see some kayaks piled up under a shed), it seemed like a BYOB (bring your own boat), bring your own kayak, bring your own fishing equipment, etc. They have docks for you to use all of these things, but if you didn't bring it with you, I'm not sure what the options are. If you can rent kayaks on the facility, then no one explained that to us during our stay, which is a problem. However, I think this is true for most of the cabins in Clearlake that they don't have watersport rentals available, so just know before you go.||||Also, my husband was disappointed with the common areas. I really wasn't concerned about the common areas, but my husband pointed out that there were lots of cobwebs on the fishing pier and the common room where the video games and things was a bit junky and looked old and in disrepair. However, if you're not planning on using the common areas much, I don't think this needs to be an issue.||||I also wanted to take a moment to talk about the area. First of all, I had never been to Clearlake, and I read so many bad reviews of Clearlake in general, people saying it's straight off the set of "Deliverance" and is dirty, etc. I did not find this to be the case. Keep in mind I am very shee-shee from San Francisco and love the finer things. To be fair I certainly did not see any 5 star accommodations, restaurants, etc. anywhere in town, but for a weekend on the lake, I thought it was extremely charming, and I was not prepared for the sheer beauty of Clearlake, it was absolutely stunning with the mountains behind it, I thought it was jaw droppingly beautiful, it almost looked a little like Hawaii. Everything is a bit more rustic there but it's all in good fun for a vacation. Clearlake Oaks, where Blue Fish Cove is, is sort of away from the main part of Clearlake, and there is not much around. However, there are gas stations and a few small pizza and Mexican restaurants close by, and Clearlake itself is less than a 15 minute drive (we recommend The Spot to eat!) So, overall I found the town to be fine and the views to be lovely.||||I would definitely stay here again and we will certainly put Clearlake on our weekend...

UNIT 8..The WORST stay ever! DONT waste your time. Awful nasty living conditions. When we arrived to the unit. Six chickens greeted us at the door. We walked right into their poop as it was unnoticeable at first. Their poop was everywhere. The benches and chairs had not been cleaned out. They were stained with chicken poop and other debri. The door was extremely nasty. From hand prints and dirt which were very noticeable. Immediately when walked in unit. Did we walk onto gravel and dirt on floor. Which indicated the floor had not been swept let alone mopped. Went into restroom spider webs were everywhere. Overall there were 9 spiders in the bathroom. Not counting the visible spiders in the bedroom and kitchen area. We had to take a broom and clean the entire unit to be free of spiders and their webs. Shower wasnt clean toilet wasnt clean. Bed is bent in the center. We had to sleep at the foot of the bed in order to not sink in. Refrigerator was dirty inside and out. Had to go and get our own cleaning supplies to clean the entire unit. It was very noticeable that a bunch of females and their children lived there. Be prepared to not having parking space next to your unit. For they will take up your parking space next to your unit. They were in and out of the center unit which it appear to be the main office. Several dogs and cats ran throughout the complex and their poop was everywhere. Main concern was in the grass when we walked to the dock. When how can all those women live there and not keep the grounds and units clean. Definitely know they're filthy and nasty females. The other residents that were renting the units that weekend. Shared they too had to get cleaning supplies and clean their units. Said theyve visited the place for years and never seen it in such horrible despicable conditions. Id suggest if you plan to stay here. Be prepared to do some extreme deep house cleaning on your vacation. Make sure to BRING YOUR OWN CLEANING SUPPLIES with bleach to do a...

This place gave me and my family the worst treatment ever. We rented all their cottages, hoping to have a great family experience. One member of our family got there a day before the rest. She felt as though we was tricked from the pictures. She was told no refunds. My aunt was so disgusted she nearly got back on the plane and flew home. The place from the outside had spider webs and dirt all over the place. Its seriously needs to be pressure hosed from the outside all over.||||This is only where the problems start. In my beach house cottage the power and stove went out. They stated its a DFI switch or something like that, nevertheless after having a "employee who can fix it." They couldn't find her, she went home. So I had to wait to finish cooking. After about 2 hours they magically came back on. This seems as though its been a ongoing problem from the way they made it sound.||||Another one of my aunts had to wait for her unit to be painted 3 hours past check it. Yes I said painted! Who paints a unit same day of check in? Well later I find out they had a squatter who wouldn't leave dying there. the place smelled so bad they had to paint it to remove the smell. They wouldve been better off not renting the unit till it was complete. My aunt had to try and sleep there with paint fumes and she has asthma.||||Lastly mother and I was hanging out till midnight. When it was time for her to goto bed, she discovers her unit flooded from the AC. Her Bedding was soaked. They did come and mop it up and give new bedding. They literally gave the new bedding to my mom. My mother is handicap, the guy claims he has never maid a bed before. My mother could've slipped or gotten electrocuted, the offered no help. Here is the worst part they offered a $50 discount for the trouble. Moral of the story is NEVER got there. They need new owners and management that...
