Well first it was late at night had to call a number to get checked in after unloading all my cargo from my motorcycle which took some time to do. I arrive around 12-130ish or so. I get its late but man after a 6 hour motorcycle ride in the blistering heat wanted to take a shower yeah nope couldnt do that because there wasnt any hot water avaliable at the time. So fell asleep all nasty uncomfortable bed wasnt the best. The service was horrible nobody insight to take care of this matter. Only reason they are in a scale is because of the lady cleaning the rooms felt so bad. Be also recommended places she apologized heavily. Either way worse experience ever. But i was told i was going to be taken care of by hotels for this horrible experience. Thanks hotels.com

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!

This was the worse place I stayed. We stayed for 2 nights and both days no hot water. I let them know and they stated was braker. Never got hot water luckily my daughter was staying next door and used her shower. Did not even offer anyone to look at it, or switch us rooms or anything of reimbursement. Then my daughters bed had a insect in it and her boyfriend got bit. I have proof. Will never stay there again. Our room number was 112 not hot water the whole stay. Room 111 had the bug in the bed.

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.
