The beautiful, new Clearlight Inn has had many fun and interesting guests since opening in late July 2007.  Some visited the motel for rest and relaxation, some came to visit family, some stayed because of temporary work in Hickory County, and many came to enjoy the fishing and racing.  Here are just a few of their comments on their stays at the hotel:

"We look forward to staying here every year for our annual float trip.  The people are wonderful!  I love staying here!" --From an accommodations survey

"We had a great time at the lake..was so glad to have such a nice clean place to stay.  You have a wonderful lodge!!" --Ron & Terri Cooper

"You went above and beyond to accommodate all the needs and desires of everyone at the reunion.  Thanks much."  --Rita L

"The room was very nice size and loved the desk for using the computer.  I stayed here to reconnect with a long lost friend I hadn't seen in over 16 years!  We had a great time!"  --Lorie Metz

"The reunion was perfect!  Your place is very nice, very comfy, and so clean!  Thanks for all your preparations and extra efforts!  You are much appreciated."  --David & Audry Paulsen

"Thanx so much for being such wonderful hosts this past weekend, Cindy & Larry! The Duffin Family Reunion went great in part because of your hospitality. The home made ice cream was a hit & it complimented the brownies! If we come back your way we will stay with you again. Again, thanx for making us all feel so welcome. " --The Duffin's :)

"Enjoyed our stay over the weekend, the accommodations were CLEAN & COMFORTABLE. We had a clear view of the boat on the lot, that was a plus! We will be back when we have another tournament.  THANK YOU!!"  Jim Champlain & Jerry Shelton

"To our wonderful hosts--We just wanted to say how much we appreciated your hospitable spirit during our stay.  The snowstorm kept us in a bit, but you made us feel right at home and the accommodations were clean and comfortable.  Thank you!  PS Say Hi to Colton!"  --Eric, Emma, and Lynn

"I would like to extend a great big "thanks" for your hospitality during our recent Swiftwater Rescue training at Pomme de Terre Lake.  The class was a big success and we owe a debt of gratitude to you and your staff.  You made us all feel welcome and your assistance allowed our training to go smoothly." --Lt. Eldon Wulf

"The Taylor Reunion Committee wishes to thank the Clearlight Inn for the use of their banquet room during our recent reunion.  It is a great place to have an event.  Also, thanks to Charla Lear, who was there to make sure we had everything we needed.  This community is so fortunate to have Clearlight with its beautiful rooms, banquet facilities, and great owners Larry and Cindy, Steve and Charla.  The Taylors all gave everything two definite 'thumbs up!!'” –-Debbie McCaslin and all the Taylors (The Index August 2009)

"My best wishes for you and your family.  It was great having a little piece of home brought back after being gone so long.  Thank you again!"  --Robert Hayes

"You have a very nice place here and I enjoyed every minute of my stay.  If the Lord's willing, I will see you again next year."  --Jessie H

"Just wanted to say a GREAT big “THANK YOU” to all of you at Clearlight Inn!!  It was my very first trip to that part of Missouri.  I found your hotel on the Lucas Oil Speedway site, after planning a night at the races.  SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!!  The room was beautiful and you all were very kind.  (Great job at the décor and everything!)  Had a great stay and am looking forward to visiting again and bringing my children next time.  Thank you so much for mentioning the dam!  We took a drive and a walk down there twice.  The dam and Pomme de Terre Lake were a wonderful surprise; I hadn’t even known they existed until I found your website.  It is such a beautiful area and I can’t wait for my next visit!!  Thank you again for making our stay WONDERFUL!" --Angela Bedgood

"Thank you for a wonderful stay last Saturday night!  Your motel is definitely my favorite, and I recommend Clearlight Inn to others.  Your good humor and accommodating nature is rare to find among motel owners/managers, so you make Clearlight Inn a home-away-from-home.  Thank you, too, for allowing me to place my business cards among the others.  May All Your Mornings Be Muskie Mornings!"  --Loren Gruber

"I am so impressed as to how you all run the business.  This is the kind of service I really like.  I am big on customer service.  We will always come back every year!"  --Tracy W.

"Hi folks!  Just wanted to say again, how nice it was staying at Clearlight Inn.  The rooms and facilities are first class, but the hospitality was out of sight.  I have traveled quite a bit and never have we been treated as nice as at Clearlight Inn.  Thanks for making our whole family welcome." --Forrest & Louise Ganther

"Thank you for the next best thing to Hampton!  Your Inn is beautiful and homey." --Bruce, Jill, & kids

"I stayed at your hotel in January prior to a meeting I held at Skyline Schools.  I found your hotel clean and welcoming.  Charla was very helpful and friendly at check-in.  Thank you, also, for returning an item left at the hotel.  I appreciate your efforts to mail it back to me.  Thanks again for your attention to detail and friendliness during my stay."  --Steve

"This is a small thank you for helping make my recent stay in Missouri so wonderful and pleasant.  You hotel was the best possible choice for me and I consider myself fortunate to have found you.  I will recommend the Clearlight Inn to anyone I know.  You are a warm hearted, hard-working group of people.  I respect your ambition and enterprise." --Kathleen

"Hi from the Konitzer family of Oconto Falls, Wiscansin.  We would just like to tell you that our stay at your hotel for the Lucas Oil off road races was great.  The rooms were so nicely decorated and comfortable.  We loved your hospitality.  There was not one person we met in Missouri that was unfriendly.  Hopefully if WSORR returns to Missouri in 2008, we will again be able to spend our nights in your hotel. Thanks again." --Cindy Konitzer
