"Our stay at Emerald Lake Lodge was so magical last year that we knew we had to come back this time with our children so they could experience it for themselves. And somehow, it was even more special the second time.
There is something truly extraordinary about this place. From the moment you arrive, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery and the most serene lake views, you feel completely transported. It’s peaceful, cozy, and awe-inspiring all at once like stepping into a postcard.
What makes Emerald Lake Lodge stand apart, though, is the people. The staff simply cannot do enough for you. Every interaction feels genuine, warm, and thoughtful. They anticipate your needs before you even realize you have them. Traveling with children can sometimes be stressful, but the team made everything effortless and welcoming for our whole family.
Watching our kids take in the same views that captivated us last year was unforgettable. Emerald Lake Lodge isn’t just a destination, it’s an experience, a memory-maker, and a place that draws you back the moment you leave.
We are already dreaming about our next visit."
"This is hotel was perfect, we had to stop for the night because of bad winter conditions, and the front desk was super helpful and friendly, the breakfast in the morning was amazing, the room was super big and comfortable, everything was perfect!"
"Everything about this property was top notch. The room amenities from the wireless charging dock, to the robes and slippers were impeccable. The gentleman that checked us in went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfy. "
