House rental in Lucerne, California - Incredible Clear Lake and Konocti Views-Designer's Home - Sleeps 6 - Property 256042

The Area: Lake County is home to uncrowded and intimate wineries, great dining, golfing, world-class fishing and watersports. We're close to Robinson Rancheria Casino and across the lake from Konocti Resort and Spa (with a great concert series). Nearby, you can catch a glider and fly silently over the Lake and the stunning Mayacamas Mountain Range. And then, of course, there's our favorites - reading, relaxing, eating, napping, sipping wine and entertaining friends on the deck overlooking the lake! And, in case you forget to bring your own entertainment, we have Satellite TV, Sirius Radio, a bookshelf full of unique books, a collection of great CDs to help you relax and an assortment of DVDs to watch. We also have binoculars, playing cards, dominoes, puzzles and board games. There are plenty of trails in the area for Hiking, Biking, Horseback Riding and communing with the local wildlife.

What to do when you're here: There's so much to do near here; Perla del Lago is a lovely drive from the Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley where you can dine in fine restaurants, visit mud and mineral baths, shop and tour wineries. Or, you may just prefer the local uncrowded and 'undiscovered' wineries in the Lake County Wine Country (such as Jim Fetzer's Ceago Winegarden, Gregory Graham, Langtry Estates-Guenoc, Tulip Hill, Steele, Shannon Ridge, Wildhurst, Rosa d'Oro, Abbott, Steele, High Valley, Moore Family, Brassfield Estates, Ployez and Monte Lago). In fact California just designated its newest Appellation in August of 2005 to the 'High Valley Appellation' region near here. There are excellent restaurants for dining in Upper Lake, Cobb, Middletown, Kelseyville and Lakeport. If you wish to BBQ or dine 'at home', visit locally-famous, 'Kenny the Butcher', up the road at the Lakeview Market in Lucerne for some of the best meats you'll ever eat!
