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!

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.
