We picked Lakeside Inn because it was on Clear Lake, and it didn't disappoint. We took the kids to the city beach and we all loved it. Then, back to the room and there was a great restaurant/lounge right next door--all outdoor tables--where we had dinner and watched the sun go down over the lake. Don't miss the donut place a half mile north in the morning. The best!
