Clearlake is a laid-back lakeside base built around Clear Lake—California’s largest natural freshwater lake—perfect for boating, fishing, hiking, nearby tasting rooms and a relaxed, affordable vibe that makes multi-week stays feel restorative rather than isolating.
When you want more nightlife, dining and shopping, Santa Rosa is roughly 50–55 miles away and Napa about 60–65 miles away, both reachable as easy day trips to add variety between shifts.
