Christmas Lodge (2011)

Anchored in the sprawling city of Seattle, Mary Tobin is a third-generation contractor, working dutifully as a project administrator for a non-profit dedicated to restoring urban heritage buildings. Despite her urban dwelling, Mary's heart is tethered to the wild beauty of the great outdoors, an affinity not shared by her city-loving boyfriend, Kent. As everyone anticipates Kent's impending proposal, Mary's world takes a nostalgic twist when she stumbles upon the dilapidated Christmas Lodge during a mountainous hike. This enchanting lodge, a place of warm childhood memories and joyful holiday gatherings, was a cherished destination her grandfather would take their family to each Christmas. Now, the once vibrant inn lies in a state of neglect, a poignant reflection of the owner, Jack Rand's, past trials. Jack, a childhood acquaintance of Mary and the fourth-generation owner of the lodge, has endured the lodge's decline while tending to his ailing parents in the city. Living in the lodge with his daughter, Charlene, Jack manages to maintain only the bare minimum of the lodge's upkeep. Faced with a lodge that's a shadow of its former self, Mary becomes determined to restore the inn to its bygone glory. But, transforming the lodge is a monumental task that requires approximately $2 million – a sum far beyond Mary's initial estimates. However, Mary's determination is driven by more than just restoring a building; she yearns to rekindle the spirit of Christmas for her family, especially her ailing grandfather, at this place she considers their spiritual home. As she navigates the uphill journey of raising funds – a challenge that might shatter her dream if unsuccessful – Mary not only breathes new life into the Christmas Lodge but also embarks on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. Amid the restoration and rekindling of fond memories, Mary finds herself entwined in a heartwarming romance, revealing what her heart truly yearns for in her personal life.
