Lakehouse Resort Transforms Into North County’s Ultimate Winter Paradise

Winter Wonderland at Lakehouse Resort

A Wonderland by the Lake

Bundle up for an enchanting lakeside celebration every weekend from November 28 to December 26. The Lakeside Lawn sparkles with festive lights while we warm up with seasonal treats and toasty drinks.

Little ones will light up at the Frozen Fun Zone, complete with a charming Polar Express-inspired train ride and sweet s’mores by the fire. They can even create their own cuddly companion at the Build-a-Buddy station.

Want to make those holiday memories extra special? Snap a photo with Santa himself on Saturdays, or set sail on a festive Candy Cane Cruise across Lake San Marcos.

Igloo Nights Under the Stars

For an extra dash of winter magic, book one of the resort’s exclusive lakefront igloos. Gather up to 12 friends in the new Grand Igloo for a memorable dinner party, or keep it cozy with an intimate 8-person igloo experience featuring charcuterie, dessert boards, and wine.

Each two-hour booking includes dedicated servers to make your evening absolutely perfect.

Festivities at Brickmans

Winter Wonderland is bringing its festive flair to Brickmans. We’re talking Instagram-worthy holiday decorations, kitschy glassware, and creative cocktails that capture pure Christmas joy.

Make your reservations here.
