Booking a group into a hotel means splitting across several rooms, eating out for every meal, and losing the shared space that makes a group trip feel like a group trip. Costs add up per room, and there's nowhere for everyone to simply be together.
A private lodge flips that. One roof, one kitchen, one great room, and bedrooms enough for the whole party — so the trip is about the people, not the logistics. For a North Shore gathering, that's the difference between coordinating and actually relaxing.
