Emerald Cottage offers a laid-back stay surrounded by towering trees, with a spacious deck, kayaks and canoes to paddle through the cypress forest, and a firepit perfect for slow evenings outside.

Thank you so much! We always enjoy hosting great guests & we highly recommend y’all to other hosts! We hope you’ll come back again!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry your stay didn’t meet expectations. Since your visit, we’ve made major improvements — removed all the pavers and built a large new deck, replaced the patio furniture, installed a new hot water heater, and updated several windows for a clearer lake view. The refrigerator and outdoor areas have also been serviced. We appreciate your comments and are committed to keeping the cabin clean, comfortable, and welcoming for every guest.

I am very sorry that our amazing little jewel did not meet your expectations. We hoped the window units helped keep the little cottage cool. We just put in a new AC and all is cool now! I did see the 2 pics you sent me saying my cottage wasn't clean, one was a baseboard with dust, and the other was the top of the refrigerator which had 2 specks of dust. I hired my housekeeper to do a deep clean after you checked out, and she will be doing that monthly going forward. While I am not a "cat person", the 3 kitties were born on Emerald Isle before we bought it. We have been responsible in keeping them healthy and fed, they are generally scared of people, and keep to themselves. We had to trap each of them to take them to get fixed so they would not procreate. 98% of people who have visited Emerald Isle love feeding them and watching them. If I could train them not to get on vehicles at night I surely would! Emerald Cottage has almost 100% 5 Star Reviews on the other major rental site. Again, I'm sorry you were not happy, we did work hard to try to make everything better for you.
