Fireside Lodge
The Fireside Lodge backs up to the National Forest. It offers backyard access to hiking trails, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. As the last lodge on the way to Emerald Bay, Fireside Lodge is close to the lake and water activities. Skiing is easily accessible. Guests of Fireside Lodge have access to free bicycles, kayaks and snowshoes.
Fireside Lodge welcomes dogs of all sizes. Leashed dogs are welcome everywhere on the premises with the exception of the Gathering Room. That room is the domain of the innkeeper's dogs. They request that unattended dogs be kenneled in their rooms. The inn provides dog-friendly coverings for the beds and old towels to keep your dog's feet clean. The inn offers suggestions for dog-friendly hikes, restaurants and beaches.
There is an additional dog fee of $20 per night, and the inn does require a security deposit for guests traveling with dogs.
