Cloudrest Lake is a serene bamboo forest lakeside area located north of Starsand Town on Starsand Island. It is one of three unlockable homestead environments alongside Blue Beach and Windflute Island. The area features bamboo groves, rolling hills, a central lake, and a pier. Offering a quieter, more pastoral setting than the starting Hopeland farm.
Cloudrest Lake is notable for its unique bus stop (the only station requiring Bamboo Boards), its resident panda Booboo, and some of the best honeycomb farming spots on the island.
Cloudrest Lake is not accessible from the start. To unlock it, you must reach the Home Builder rank in the Island Life app, which requires:
Expanding your starting Hopeland farm 6 times.
Completing additional Island Life tasks beyond the Skillful Star rank.
Once unlocked, the initial plot costs 6,000,000 coins + 750 Starsand to purchase. Cloudrest Lake must be purchased before you can unlock Blue Beach (the next tier at "Bright Star" rank).
Hopeland Starter farm (free).
Cloudrest Lake Home Builder rank. 6,000,000 coins + 750 Starsand.
Blue Beach Bright Star rank (requires Cloudrest Lake).
Windflute Island Starsand Legend rank.
Cloudrest Lake is defined by its bamboo groves, a central lake, surrounding hills, and dense forests to the east and west. The terrain is gentler than nearby Bastrom Heights but more varied than the flat Hopeland plots.
Central lake: The main feature of the area, with a pier on the southern shore.
Pier: Located on the south side of the lake. A treasure chest is nearby.
Pavilion: Sits to the east of the lake.
Hills: To the north and west, connected by dirt paths.
West forest: Contains White Fig and Banyan trees with beehives: a prime honeycomb farming location.
East forest: Contains a treasure chest and connects to the Panda House where Booboo lives.
Cloudrest Lake has its own fast travel station, but it requires unique materials to build: the only station on the island that does.
Materials: 10 Stone Bricks, 5 Glass Panes, 10 Bamboo Boards, 5 Iron Sheets.
All other 9 stations (10 total across the island) use Softwood Planks instead of Bamboo Boards. Travel between stations costs 5-30 coins per trip depending on the distance. The bus stop system is unlocked through the "Building Starsand Station" quest from Solara at Island Pro rank.
Cloudrest Lake is home to Booboo, a panda who lives in the Panda House east of the lake. She is not a traditional adoptable pet like the animals at Woof & Wow Pets but has her own friendship system based on feeding her Fresh Bamboo Shoots.
1st feeding: 15 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.
2nd feeding: 25 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.
3rd feeding: 25 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.
4th feeding: 30 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.
5th feeding: 35 Fresh Bamboo Shoots.
That is 130 Fresh Bamboo Shoots in total. Each completed feeding rewards a treasure chest containing bamboo-themed crafting recipes. After maxing out friendship, Booboo stays in her home area (she cannot be adopted or moved) but you can pet and play with her.
Fresh Bamboo Shoots spawn in the grass on the eastern side of Cloudrest Lake and around the Panda House. Look for sparkle effects on the ground. They respawn daily. Fresh Bamboo Shoots sell for only 5 coins each at vendors, so feeding them to Booboo is a much better use than selling.
Cloudrest Lake counts as a "Lake" fishing zone. Lake fish include Topmouth Culter, Kissing Gourami, Chinese Perch, Betta, Bighead Carp, Crucian Carp, Koi, Lake Trout, Grass Carp, and many more. Fish availability depends on season, weather, and time of day. See the full fishing guide for detailed species lists.
The pier on the south side of the lake is the most convenient fishing spot. Night fishing (20:00-02:00) can yield nocturnal species like Ribbon Eel and Mandarinfish.
Fresh Bamboo Shoots: Found in the grass around the eastern lake shore and Panda House. Respawn daily. Needed for Booboo's friendship. Sell for 5 coins.
Honeycomb: The west forest contains beehives in White Fig and Banyan trees. Small hives drop honeycombs and bumblebees. Large hives on giant White Fig trees may drop Queen Bees (requires a Machete). Honeycombs sell for 30 coins each and are used in beehive crafting.
Wood: White Fig and Banyan trees in the surrounding forests.
Blue Hydrangeas: Can be harvested in the area during Summer and Autumn. Also found at Bastrom Heights, the Moonlit Forest, and Flower Corridor.

Additional chests in the west and east forests, plus Booboo's reward chests from the feeding progression.
