Second Stay

This was our second time staying at Emma’s View and the second time was just as great of an experience as the first. From the home, to the views and the communication with property management team, always top notch. Absolutely the best place to stay for a Lay Lake vacation. This has quickly become one of our annual “must do” stays.
