Staff was super nice. But I had a problem with my outlet in the bathroom not working, there was a hole in the wall leading to outside for a pipe going through the room which let in yellow jackets to our room.

Room is small and smell. Not as the pictures posted. The posted pictures look clean and nice. But in the reality it’s not. The environment around the room is good and relax, but very dirty for the table and chair outside. Maybe there is a bear at night time, that’s why the lady in the office told us not to put food in the car, bear will break the car windows. I saw food prints in my car in the next morning. Don’t know is it bear’s food print or not. It looks big like a man food print. Price is high. Not really like it. Will not stay the second time.

The only issue I had was that the stove was not working and they only had 1 fork. The pots and pans were quite old.

The room was nice. Basic amenities. Conveniently located. We wished the window has curtains. People can see us from outside if we have the lights on. Noise level was high. We can hear next door’s tv and people voices.

The staff was wonderful. Love the family cabin. Someone trying to get in at night… I’m assuming was a bear… was a little alarming . Other than that I had a relaxing , quiet, peaceful stay at Emerald Bay Lodge!!! Will definitely stay again. Thank you for making my vacation great!

No hot water. They have a sign in the bathroom to run the water for three minutes so the hot water kicks in. Well it never did. Impersonal customer service. They have a sign to call the numbers listed. As I was checking out & make them aware about the lack of hot water, they told me I didn’t need to do anything, they’ll take care of charging my card. When I mentioned I wanted to speak to someone since I didn’t get to shower, a lady came to the front area. She said she would speak to the manager about any credit. When I asked her what card she had on file, she told me her computer system was down & couldn't pull up my information. Walls are thin in the room, you can hear other people’s conversations & their alarm clock in the morning. In the end, I only received a small credit & still ended up paying $200 for a room with no hot water. Unfortunate experience.

We really liked the family cabin. It had it's own entrance which was nice. You could tell it was an old building but had a modern day vibe. There's a burger place right next door in case you get hungry.
