DO NOT BOOK. Home was in terrible condition broken window, dirty sofa, non working fireplace, broken garbage disposal, terrible stench. The property manager “Shelby” lied about fixing issues throughout the stay. He finally agreed to refund a portion of the total stay however that came with terms. I could not write an honest review. I would have to complete a great review and then receive the refund. For this guest an honest review warning future travelers was more valuable. The fireplace was never fixed. The window remained covered with a towel held up with a broom. The stench never went away despite opening windows and burning candles. The time spent going back and forth with no resolve,, absolutely terrible!

The only drawback is that the water in the shower is too slow. It is difficult to rinse the hair clean.

Emerald Bay Ridge is an 8/10 stay for me. A family member had previously stayed here and recommended it. Some of the notable benefits include its proximity to a shopping center, which is convenient for last-minute purchases or forgotten items. The property features two larger cabins with full kitchens and additional space. I stayed in one of the smaller cabins, which can accommodate 4-5 people, featuring one king bed and two full-size bunk beds. The cabin has a small fridge, one restroom, and modern fixtures, including a microwave and Keurig. However, please note that hot water is limited, so showers should be staggered. The area is great for kids to play, with a gated access to the basketball court behind the fence. We attempted to roast s’mores over the table, but it was experiencing electrical issues or low propane. Keep in mind that there is no room service, as no manager or housekeeper is on the premises. Their main phone line and email are not operational, and the only way to obtain information is through a third-party service. The place was quiet during sleep, although you may hear some car traffic noise from the nearby main road.

I have tried to contact the property several times and I get no response. I asked about parking spaces before we arrived and then we had an issue with the heat being on the whole time and not being able to turn it off. I messaged the property and no response. I even tried to call and got a busy signal every time I tried. I also tried to reply to emails they sent me and I cannot even get to a page to be able to contact them.

Absolutely loved our stay at Emerald Bay Village. The beds and bedding were SO comfortable. The shower was hot with great pressure. The set up included everything you need to eat in. It was wonderful. Kim was so sweet to go get us propane for the BBQ when it ran out so we could make breakfast. We will definitely be staying again!
