Visit Lake San Marcos

Lakehouse Resort
Staff was great. Love the property. Lots to do. I wish things stayed open later than 5 in terms of the activities but I can understand it being off season. Only complaint I'd say about the room is the shower head was very low pressure which drives me crazy. Feels like it takes so much longer to rinse. ...
