Pros: Cute little lake area. Great for couples and families. Food and service at Amalfi was amazing. Jake at the front desk was very friendly and willing to help. Dog friendly. The live music was fun and entertaining. Great that water sports are onsite and somewhat included. They are very strict on giving you your “included” daily activities and try to charge instead. Fire pits and smores galore - love! Cons: Lake water is entirely brown. Residents on the lake have hateful flags up, seems like pretty politically charged and angry residents here. It’s a man made lake in the middle of a bustling city, it’s not exactly a wilderness getaway. We were totally upsold on paying an extra $400 for a lakefront cabin. We weren’t told it was HA…my boyfriend literally couldn’t fit under the shower. The room smelled like must so we called asking for more candles which helped. Went to shower at night and found out the hot water wasn’t working. Maintenance spent the entire next day on our patio with tools and equipment everywhere replacing the water heater and we were now offered another room. The carpeting in the bedroom smelled like pee and the bedroom door was completely off track. In a nutshell - don’t get upsold, don’t be surprised by the pure brown water and residents on the lake, bring some febreeze and your patience :)

Absolutely loved our staycation! No need to leave the resort at all! The food was amazing, the drinks, and the environment! The staff was AMAZING.

Always perfect.

Great place

Welcoming text, welcoming staff, welcoming drink, complimentary actives, s’more kit, parking. Great resort.

We stayed overnight at Lakehouse. Our room wa facing the pool and overlooking the lake. We love the complimentary drinks, pedal cruiser by the lake and the kids enjoyed the pool and smores at night. Only suggestion is the y need to have a heated pool or adjust the temperature coz the water it’s really cold! Other than that, it was a beautiful experience.

This was a beautiful facility, and the room was spacious and clean. Very pleased with our stay!

Was supposed to have a bath tub

Front desk Anyssa was very friendly and welcoming.

Room was pretty nice except for the ridiculously loud ac. It seemed like all the rooms were noisy and even throughout the complex, like at the pools, the sound from all the units' AC was pervasive. The pools had these weird fountains that I suspect were only there to help mask the noise. Also, even though the Expedia price said all fees included the was a $40/ night "resort fee". We would have booked elsewhere had we knew that in advance

Staff was friendly, room service was quick and tasty. Rooms were clean and decorated cute

Great place for a staycation with the family. Lots of activities and amenities.

Love the lake view! Nice and beautiful.

Loved it!

Excellent option for a staycation

The Lakehouse is a hidden gem in San Marcos, CA. We only stayed one night so we didn’t get to use many of the amenities but we will definitely come back for a longer stay.

Great area. Beautiful view of the lake.

Beautiful peaceful resort

We enjoyed access to the lake and the views of the lake from our room as well as from many parts of the property. There are recreational facilities nearby and those are associated with the resort. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly during check-in. Guests are given an hour's use of non-motorized watercraft for each day they stay. Kayaks, pedal boats, and paddle boards are included. Restaurant on site is lively for people socializing without making the rest of the place noisy or busy.

Best pasta ever “AMALFI”

Noisy air conditioning

Definitely coming back

I checked in my room and air conditioning was noisy. Large stain outside door on carpet hall. Went to front desk they charged me 30.00 more.

It was great! Old resort but nice.

Bugs from the lake on the ceiling of the room and on the bed. Ceilings are paper thin if a room is above you…. Sounds like people are stomping all night

Fix the air conditioning

I can’t wait to go back!

Very clean and such a peaceful vibe.

We really enjoyed Lakehouse Resort, will definitely be staying there again. Our room was spacious and clean. The staff was very accommodating.
