A Slice of Heaven

I was very pleased with my stay at this darling “Small House”! Every inch of the interior is cleverly and thoughtfully used, making the most of the cozy space. But it’s really the outside that steals the show—absolutely a little slice of heaven on earth. Peaceful, charming, and perfect for relaxing. With the owners plans to refresh the cabins and grounds, I hope to return this time next year!

Quiet, Cozy Getaway

The host was extremely communicative and offered access to kayaks, a paddle board, and a canoe to check out the local lake, which I would highly recommend. The area is quiet and about 20-25 mins from downtown Shreveport eateries and attractions. There are a few other cabins that are quite close, but the other guests staying there were quiet and courteous. Overall great experience.

Cute tiny home

The house was great - absolutely no problems. Just exactly as it was listed and there was great communication with the owner. My only complaint - the road to get to the home was bad with several deep pot holes. I drive a 4wd lifted Jeep and it was even a concern for me getting to and from the home.

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, 3 cabins on the Red River, and a historic home in Mooringsport close to 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
