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!

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.

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.
