Hotels near Emerald Lake

"To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, my husband and I were looking for a spot that was both reasonably close to home (our summers are too busy for a long trip) but would feel a million miles away from home. We found the ideal escape at Riversong Inn and Retreat for our two night stay (7/6-7/8) The innkeeper, Janine, and Lindsey (not sure of her title) were delightful, helpful, and very accommodating for my food allergies. We also visited with Danny (name?), the handyman, as he was building one of the two new yurts. His kind and gentle heart echoes the land he works on. From the moment we checked in, we felt the tension in our shoulders relax. The sauna and a soak in the hot tub took care of whatever remained. We walked the labyrinth, played a round of chess, and strolled along the river. In the morning, we hiked the Seven Benches trails in glorious solitude. We watched the deer graze in front of the inn, turkey hens and babies wander past the hot tub, and birds of all types fly about. From the deck of the Cowboy's Delight, which really is a delightful room to stay in, we watched the stars and sipped our wine. We met and visited with other guests at breakfast, but truly felt secluded the vast majority of time we were there. It was the perfect destination to renew our souls, our spirits, and our love, so we've already begun discussing a return trip. Our gratitude to the entire staff at Riversong for sharing your slice of secluded paradise."
