Cute space, beautiful location!

We had a great stay! The Emma room is on the 3rd floor end above the conference area so it was very quiet. Bed was comfy and the room and bathroom are spacious. The area around the lodge is beautiful and we loved the porch. Fridge was noisy at night and ice machine was broken but overall our stay was great!
