Emandal is more than a place on a map, a destination to which families journey in the summer. Emandal is an attitude. Emandal goes beyond playing in the river or putting on campfire skits or triumphing in Trivial Pursuit. It’s a community… it’s sharing the load of everyday life… acknowledging the struggles and pitfalls, embracing the joys and the milestones.

Emandal has been, and still is a gathering place. Generations of families and friends have been coming to Emandal each summer for over 100 years, always learning just a bit more about the other, finding out, perhaps, why we are the way we are…

Now, instead of just summer occupation, we encourage people to come at other times of the year as well, to stay in unique self-contained houses…. to experience the roiling river, the spring wild flowers, the colorful autumn leaves, the occasional snow storm.

Pizzas and Wreaths! On Saturday, November 30, 2024, join us on the farm for PIZZAS AND WREATHS! We’ll have pizza to eat from 10am until 3pm…… the same time frame in which we’ll have greens and rings and our wreath-making machines set up for you to create a unique holiday beauty! Click here for more information!

We are here so that others may come to experience time with friends, family, neighbors, co-workers……writers, artists, musicians, quilters, crafters, birders, nature journalists, dyers….. all who enjoy sharing their time and passions with others.

We preserve, provide, nurture, pursue, orchestrate, care for, sustain, prepare….. so that people can come and revel, reflect, regale and/or regenerate.
