As i was looking for a special place for a 20 year anniversary I came upon Elk and Embers and from the second we arrived all I got is WOW WOW WOW..!!! We stay in Tanager which is Very Convenient to the lodge and the Market Shed yet most amazing thing is the “Sunrises” Unbelievable….!! All in all… everything just has perfection all over it… from the amazing hiking trails to the grounds and the 10 star service. Omar (thank you) was my savior…. he not only knew of the things to make my time with my Bride extra special… he made it all happen perfectly…. (again Thank you) We were also lucky enough to have time talking with the owners…. after that we could tell why everything is so Amazing… they have the passion to make Elk and Embers One of a kind..!! All in all Thank you for making out 20th anniversary Very memorable Joey and Shannon
