Hotel at a Glance: Lakehouse Hotel & Resort
The 4-star Lakehouse Hotel & Resort is right on the edge of Lake San Marcos, a picturesque setting that begs to be explored.

You can also play championship golf on a Harry Rainville–designed course or settle the score at the tennis court.
- Relaxation in many forms: The hotel boasts two pools, a hot tub, and three fire pits.
- Enjoy the view: Select recently revamped guest rooms overlook the pool or the lake.
- Keep fit on tennis courts or by renting a kayak, paddleboard, or beach cruiser bike.
San Marcos, California: Quiet Historical Town with Popular Breweries
San Marcos is less than an hour from downtown San Diego, making it a quick day trip from such family-friendly attractions as Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, which is home to thousands of animals, including rare giant pandas.
Though it’s close to San Diego, San Marcos is a relatively quiet college town (home to a California State University campus and the University of St. Augustine) situated in a valley surrounded by rolling green hills. For dinner, browse Old California Restaurant Row, which is lined with more than a dozen old-fashioned saloons and restaurants that serve Thai, Indian, and teppanyaki-style Japanese cuisine. Restaurant Row also hosts a seasonal hot-rod car show. You can also visit popular breweries such as Stone Brewing Co. for tours and beer samples.

Review is for a standard king room: Room was beautifully decorated, comfortable & spacious. What there was better insulation so you don’t hear neighbors & a second chair as a bonus. Loved the pool & all items included in the package! Fantastic staycation :)
2) Incredible package! We enjoyed spending time at the pool/spa & didn’t use the pale w board rental due to timing. Note: you can’t r

I didn't book two double beds. I booked king bed with Lake view. This is a great hotel in a sleeply little town. The lobby is very nicely decorated. I don't know how many people actually uses it though. Our rate included a small smores package at check in which we got. Also part of our room package was 1 hr kayak around the lake. If you get the tandem kayak, then it'll be good. But if you prefer to have your own kayak like us, it's $20. I think I saw other groupons for kayak/pontoon rental on this lake so look out for those if there's more in your party. I'm so glad we got the lake view because it was much quieter than the pool view. The pool was busy with families and kids. The pool was not heated which I guess if you go during the summer would be nice. We also took advantage of the bucket of golf balls at their driving range. There's a restaurant there so you can sit by the firepit and watch your husband practice his swings. Room service and lunch meals are fairly good size enough to share. There's a nice restaurant by the dock that seems to be the spot where all the locals go. It was very busy and first come first served. The hotel also has a couple beach cruisers too but we didn't get a chance to take advantage of it.
