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.

Perfect getaway

This was our favorite place on our 4 VRBO journey through North TX & LA. The two rooms were on opposite ends with a living area and kitchen in the middle. The front and back patio were perfect for morning coffee and BBQ in the evenings. We also enjoyed the kayaks and paddling through nature. Very clean, very comfortable, and very pleasant. Kudo's to the hosts!

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!

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
