11611 Garden Court

Long before Maharajah skis slid across the lake, before Willie Nelson played at Konocti Harbor Resort, just about the time the Ukiah to the Sierras Highway was wondrously completed in 1927, a magical little community called Garden Court was established on the North Shore of Clearlake. One of the Lake's best kept secrets, Garden Court includes several original owner's cabins dating back nearly 100 years. A trip to Garden Court takes you to a private, magical portal in time, where the water laps quietly on the pebbly shore and the shade of the giant oaks is deep; where sleeping on the porch is irresistible and the days roll long into August and September. Come take a visit. These two fully restored lake front cabins are fresh and timeless, well-appointed with modern necessities, capturing the spirit of lazy lingering weekends, chilled beverages enjoyed on the patio, bird watching and binoculars, book reading and grilled suppers, quiet turnabouts in the canoe. Nothing here is hurried, resting, puttering and floating takes up the days. The single-story classic lake front cabin welcomes you; twining nasturtiums line the pea gravel paths, a rustic stone fireplace for grey winter days, big, shaded decks, and the absolutely necessary built in bookcases to accommodate your every favorite book. This is your perfect getaway for a long, slow weekend. The vintage two story cottage includes an upstairs studio apartment, and a lower one-bedroom flat. Both have been upgraded with kitchen cabinetry, appliances, ceiling fans, wood plank floors but retain that timeless vintage charm. Big multi-pane windows capture wonderful year-round light and bring dramatic lakefront views into every room. The pier is equipped with Mooring Whips to park your boat and take a break. Perfect for a group, or a place where two couples could work out a shared vacation spot. Two lovely, responsible renters currently occupy the two-story cottage offering a reliable monthly income. Come flop down in a blue Adirondack chair and ponder Mt. Konocti. Count a million countless Grebes, toss a coin on who's making dinner or head out to the Blue Wing. There are no wrong answers here on Garden Court and anything not done today can surely be done tomorrow.
