Horseshoes, lawn bowling, croquet, and bocce ball lend a familial feel to the cottages, which are adjacent to the pool and have back porches on the water. Lakehouse Hotel & Resort, located on the 80 acres recreational Lake San Marcos, is letting the good times roll this summer with its Summer Concert Series. “We brought back the games to the whole lake house concept,” says Carrillo. These four cottages recall the summer lake homes in Dirty Dancing with white wooden paneling, blue roofs, outdoor porches, and lawns with colorful umbrellas, chairs, and retro games. Blue front doors with large, graphic numbers welcome guests into both the guestrooms and the resort’s adjoining cottages. “It’s bright and fun, like a garden party,” Carrillo pointes out. Pulitzer’s style reappears with repeating diamond and zigzag-patterned furniture and rugs. In the guestrooms, there is a subtler version of the resort’s cheerful details and playful gestures, with nutty colored furnishings against blue, leather headboards. “The boathouse is where all the ladies play cards,” says Carrillo. A three-tiered white and green chandelier illuminates the white lacquered wood space, which is used both for meetings and events. In the boathouse, a bright chartreuse pattern adorns the drapery and matches the floral carpeting. “We kind of let ourselves loose a little.” Lakehouse Hotel and Resort, San Marcos with kids: My family and I had the privilege staying at the Lakehouse Hotel & Resort during the middle of their. “Everything is more residential it’s not slick or cool,” explains Carrillo. Pulitzer’s bright patches of color add to this with an over-scaled blue and brown patterned rug, a display of canoe paddles, and a forest graphic behind the reception desk. Imitation wood tiles extend through the rooms and bathrooms to the lobby, where a teak slab mimics a big sideboard and a cabinet between two columns offers a cheeseboard for wine-tasting events. “This was a way of introducing a residential feel.” Homey touches appear throughout as poufy ottomans, oversized love seats, and a wood-burning fireplace. “Pulitzer became the inspiration, like this was her lake house,” she says. “When you come to the lake, you come to chill,” she adds.įor an upscale, southern-influenced design, Carrillo took a cue from fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer. “I grew up in the South, where it was more about wraparound porches and long lazy days.” Consequentially, each room looks out on the lake with a wraparound, concrete porch, complete with yellow rocker chairs and bottle openers under the arms.
“I started coming up with ideas that spoke to the eastern seaboard but also had the touch of the southern lake house,” says Carrillo. Beginning with imagery from New York’s Catskill region, designer Maria Carrillo of Graham Downes Architecture-the San Diego firm that shuttered this summer upon the tragic death of its namesake founder-crafted a residential style against a quixotic backdrop. Lakehouse Hotel & Resort, in San Marcos, California, channels the family vacation idealized in Dirty Dancing.
