"I have always enjoyed the large two story homes that were built in the mid to late eighteen hundred’s. The Clausen House is one or those homes and is a joy to experience and call home for one week out of the year. This home is located in the small and friendly town of Clear Lake, Ia. with its rich musical connections to the music of the fifties."
