Emerald Isle Lakefront Lodge with Hot Tub

Escape to Your Private Lakeside Retreat on Emerald Isle! Welcome to Emerald Isle, a one-of-a-kind island getaway on Cross Lake, accessible by a scenic land bridge. Surrounded by 360° water views and towering Cypress trees, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Watch majestic Great Blue Herons from your front porch, unwind in the large hot tub, or gather around the fire pit for s’mores under the stars.

We live in the area, about 20 miles from Emerald Isle. We are always available for questions, information, or help!

Cross Lake is a stunning year-round destination, perfect for boating, fishing, sailing, and birdwatching. Relax on your private porch as Great Blue Herons glide gracefully across the water—and keep an eye out for “Alli” the alligator!

For easy lake access, we have our own private boat launch. Craving seafood? There’s a fantastic lakeside restaurant with floating docks, so you can arrive by boat or car! Need supplies? Brookshire’s grocery store is just a few miles away, along with Circle K, Dollar General, and the brand-new Dollar Tree for all your essentials.

Our spacious log cabin features a wraparound porch, stone fireplace, and a cozy wood interior with a plush leather sectional—giving you the warmth and charm of a mountain lodge, right here on the lake! With a boat launch, covered grilling pavilion, and a fishing pier, adventure is at your doorstep. Paddle through the cypress trees by kayak, cast a line from the dock, or simply relax and soak in the breathtaking views.
Need space for a large group? No problem! Emerald Isle has four additional cabins, accommodating over 30 guests—perfect for family gatherings, reunions, or a peaceful retreat with friends.
