Relaxed on the Lake

We had an amazing weekend! 6 adults, 2 teenagers, and (2) 7year olds. We cooked, played games, sat by the fire pit, and just genuinely relaxed and enjoyed our family and friends. We will definitely be back!

We always have a pleasant and relaxing stay on Emerald Isle. There are plenty of comfortable beds for our family gathering and so much beauty outside. Kayaks are a highlight as well as early morning coffee looking out over the water and cypress trees.

Short family get away

We brought our 4 and 6 y/o boys out for a weekend - enjoyed the peace and quiet. The camp is spacious and comfortable and amenities are great. It had canoe, kayaks even for the kids and all the paddles and life jackets. Our 6 y/o learned to paddle a kayak all on his own. The lake is beautiful-trees and shade. We enjoyed s’mores on the fire pit as well!! Great weekend!

Our Break-away

Our family always goes to the beach for vacation but wanted to try something different this year. Boy, am I so glad that we did. Our stay was so relaxing and quiet. Watching and listening to nature as the sun came up was amazing. And if you like watching the sun come up you should definitely see it going down. We enjoyed canoeing and fishing from the boat house (even though we only caught a tiny minnow) :). The property is far enough away to feel as if you are alone but close enough to many activities in town. We visited the aquarium, water park, alligator farm, shopping, and many museums and never drove over 30 minutes to get to them. We were able to commune with nature and visit with each other without outside distractions. The property had all the comforts of home. Jennifer is a fabulous host and was very attentive to any concerns we had (we didn't have any but she checked). I look forward to visiting her place again in the near future. As beautiful as it was during the summer I bet it is stunning in the winter. We just might have to try it out!

Great getaway in Caddo Parish

Emerald Isle was a great place to stay! The house was a really nice and accommodated my family well. The kayaks were also a great addition to experience the neat lake. If my family were to visit the area again, we'd definitely consider this place.

Peace and Serenity

our stay at Emerald Pointe was perfect! it was so serene and just breathtaking. We loved the seclusion of it, while only being less than 10 mins from a grocery store. the double suite set up was great for our family of 5! and the kitchen is well appointed. Canoes and Kayaks were the icing on the cake - thank you, Emerald Isle!

Quiet Escape

Far enough away to enjoy the solitude of the bayou, but close enough to wander into the city or Bossier for food and fun. We've stayed at this property twice and have enjoyed it enough to look forward to a 3rd time. The boats are a huge bonus, and the space for dogs sells it. Stay here and fall in love with Cross Lake.

Relaxing

My husband and I along with our son, his wife and their son stayed in the cabin, we have family and friends who live in the area so we were able to visit with them for the two days we stayed, they came and ate dinner with us both nights and were impressed with our choice of picking out the cabin and location. The cabin was well stocked and comfortable, we loved the old boathouse and being on what we would call a Bayou in north Louisiana. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a swamp area without the Aligators walking up in your yard. Very relaxing and enjoyed having a fire every night.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Holloway

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Jennifer, Chris and I have been married since 1995, we have 3 awesome kids, and we’re very busy with everything! I own The Nanny Network & Sitters’ Registry, Chris is a Realtor, we flip houses, and now we own 5 cabins on Cross Lake, & 4 tiny cabins on Caddo Lake! We are so excited to offer our beautiful Emerald Isle because it is more than Cabins on a lake, it’s a total Louisiana experience!

Why they chose this property

We spend our summers boating on Cross Lake & have always wanted a cabin! When we found Emerald Isle, we KNEW it was special & people would love it! The sounds and scenery are a real, immersive, Louisiana experience! The view from Emerald Isle is very much like Caddo Lake with Cypress Trees out in the water and some on the island with cool cypress knees. Watching the Great Blue Heron soar through the trees and land is just majestic! Emerald Isle is quiet & tucked away from everything, the night sounds are exciting and calming all at once! It's a one-of-a-kind experience for sure!

What makes this property unique

We have Free kayaks, a paddle board, a canoe, a Jon boat & paddles & life jackets. We have games, fire pits, & charcoal grills. Guests love bird watching & gator hunting, bring your binoculars! Emerald Isle offers authentic Louisiana scenery right on the lake... Quote from a recent guest, “We ended up here by accident. We had reservations down on the Louisiana coast. We changed them to get away from (hurricane) Ida, I have been lucky enough to travel the world and the US. I have never been on a bayou until now. Last night on the porch was one of the most magical nights in my life. The sounds were incredible! Thanks for renting to us. Super excited for tonight. Cheers.” Emerald Cove, PGM- Merida, Yucatan
