The Lodge is so Amazing. It's tucked away like a secret in the hills of Silver Lake. You really feel like you are in a private countryside garden not in a big city. There is charm at every corner. The Chairs, the fireplace, the views, The vintage kitchen stove and cabinets, the open ceiling and exposed beams were all so perfect. We were traveling for the first time with or 8 month old daughter and were a little worried about there not being a bedroom with a door but it ended up not being a problem at all thanks to the wonderfully landscaped outside patio area. We were able to have our baby asleep in the lodge and enjoy a little of our own time on the patio within earshot if she stirred. One thing I would have liked is curtains on the door that separates the kitchen from the main living space. Too much light comes in from the kitchen in the morning and from the outdoor lighting at night. Other than that, Perfect. I would recommend it to anyone and would definitely stay there again. The location is perfect. There is a farmers market twice a week right at the bottom of the hill. There is Maggie's, an amazing breakfast joint as well as yummy.com, a little grocery store that delivers right there. I never met Gisele. She left us a nice note saying she was a hands off host who respects her guests privacy and to please call her if we needed anything. We needed nothing. The place was great. Thank you.
