Please don't hesitate to book The Carriage House if you plan to visit Lakeport for your first time or a familiar return, because it will be booked up in a snap!! I have been visiting Lakeport every summer since I was a kid and staying at The Carriage House reminded me of why I love sweet Lakeport so much, just like I was 12 all over again.

Country Fields - Country Quiet - Country Nights - Country Simple…read more The stay at Rancho de la Fuente set the stage for our visit to Lake County. For those who appreciate an agritourism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agritourism) getaway from the Bay Area, this is the place for you! Surrounded by 42 acres of open corn fields, sunflowers, tomatoes, watermelons, and other organic vegetables, you'll appreciate simpler, natural times. We stayed in the spacious Rock n Roll cottage. Inspired by our cottage theme, we played our favorite music during the days (without the fear of disturbing anyone) and enjoyed stargazing on our private porch at night. The room was well cleaned every day and supplied with ample towels for our days on the lake. The terrific hosts (R and F) kept the main house open for us to use the kitchen, access to free drinks and fruits, and access to Internet (I strongly urge you to stay off-line as long as possible). True to country hospitality, when we found a lack of venues for dinner, they invited us to a gracious family dinner. Many thanks for welcoming us into your family and home. Treat yourself to simple pleasures - spend the day swimming in the local watering holes, spend the evening enjoying wine at the vineyards, curl up with a John Steinbeck novel on the porch and welcome the starry night sky at the Rancho de la Fuente!

Perhaps its the fact that I've travelled a lot and am used to a certain standard...I stayed at the…read moreMallard Inn at the recommendation of a local resident while in Lakeport on business. I pulled in and it is obvious that the place is old and needs repairs. Lily was nice and while I booked a small room with no kitchen she implored me to upgrade and even showed me the difference in rooms - I didn't need a kitchen and the small room was fine, but I felt like maybe she needed the extra income, so I upgraded. The room itself is very modest, everything is old and in need of an update...I wasn't sure I wanted to walk on the carpet on my bare feet. With that being said, the bed, bathroom and kitchen area were clean. There is not HVAC, so be weary in the heat of summer (small wall AC unit) or the freeze of winter (small floor heater). I ventured to the elevated dock area to look out at the lake - The view is beautiful, there is zero doubt about that, but the dock and the surrounding structures are all in such disrepair its very sad; I didn't feel safe. The walls are quite thin (I was in #5) and I could here traffic from the street, doors closing, TV's, conversation, etc...Also, they advertise that no pets are allowed, but the man staying in the unit next to mine had a large labrador that came lumbering out as I arrived...He later took the dog to the lake, let it swim and then brought it back wet and let it back into his unit...mmmm wet dog smell! Would I stay again? Given that there really isn't any good hotel (Marriott, Hilton, etc) in Lakeport, his place is as good as any and did I mention the bag of Famous Amos cookies on my pillow?! Maybe...

We were actually going to check out a place next door and fell in love with Mallard House. My husband walked in to check out if they take dogs, the owner came out to look at our cute little pup, and within ten minutes we were tucked into a sweet little cottage close to the Lake. What we really enjoyed was the quality of the bed and linens. Comfy! And, I'll admit that I was anxious about staying by Clear Lake because of it's bad rep with poverty...but this place was quiet and actually gorgeous in a way that Napa can't compete with.

The food is incredibly clean and precise, but still has a surprising amount of depth and flavor. You can tell there's a lot of thought behind each dish, with the ingredients really being allowed to shine while still building layers of flavor throughout the meal. The freshness of the ingredients was definitely noticeable, but what stood out to me more was the depth of flavor. Nothing felt overly heavy or complicated, but the flavors were really developed and layered, which made the meal enjoyable from start to finish. The setting is also a huge part of the experience. The view outside is beautiful, and after lunch we were able to visit the private little beach and take a good walk. It was a great way to slow down and enjoy the scenery after the meal. Harbor House Inn is definitely its own experience. Beautiful setting, very clean cooking, and food that has a lot more depth and flavor than you might expect. Being able to enjoy the beach afterward made the whole lunch even better.
