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!

Variable experiences

We have stayed at Emerald Bay Village several times. My kids love the bunkbeds and the room is clean and comfortable. Previously, the only issue had been noise from adjoining rooms, given how thin the walls are. It entirely depends on who is in the adjacent room in terms of how much your night and sleep could be disrupted. On this most recent visit, the people in the next room had a group of friends staying and playing games loudly until past midnight. Another issue we had on this most recent stay was that the heater stopped working for about a day. I messaged the property contact person several times about this and received no response whatsoever. In the end I reset the Internet connection of the wall thermostat and the heater started working again. I had also informed the property contact person of the noise the night before. I did not receive responses about these issues. I would say that if there are no issues during your stay and you have no need for anything to be fixed and the people in the next room are not making noise late into the night, you will be satisfied with your stay. Final issue is that there is a keypad on the door lock and you get in with a code. They do not seem to be changing these codes over time, as we had the same code on two trips separated by about a year. So anyone who has stayed in that room in the past is able to get in with the same code. This seems like a suboptimal situation and a potential security risk.
