This was our second time staying at Emerald Lake Lodge, the first time was exceptional so we decided to return, however things were not as great this time. Things we love the location, the fire place in the room, the view from the balcony, the Sauna. Things that we didn't like the gass powered carts that are obnoxiously loud with pungent exhaust ran every hour of the nigtht, totally ruined our sleep every night. People go here for the peace, quite and pristine nature not for loud motor noise and exhaust fumes, food quality also seemed to have dropped a bit and prices are higher.
