The property now owned by Cal and Kim Dickson was homesteaded by J. G. Linden in 1871.  His first home was built on the corner of 14^th and Main Avenue in Clear Lake in 1873.  Additions to the original home were added in 1876 and 1879.  Many of the original features of the house still exist, including the ornate woodwork, petticoat mirror, fireplace with hearthstone featuring a seamstress and cat, and large beveled windows. Beveled windows span 11’ along the living room wall.

    The original construction of the home (shown on the left in the top picture) was split off in the mid 1900’s and is now located across the street at 1312 1^st Avenue South.

A new carriage house addition was built by Kim’s father during the fall and winter of 2002.  In early 2005 it was decided to use the top portion of the carriage house as a bed and breakfast.  After numerous hours of planning and decorating by Kim and her mother and sister, the first customers were greeted during the summer of 2005. 

    We look forward to serving you as your next bed and breakfast!
