    Ohmygoodness! If you want to stay in the bayou, THIS is the place! Weve never been to a bayou before, and the noght noises were amazing! We hoped for an aligator, but we only saw bubbles...and we were still thrilled!

    The propery was cute and welcoming. My youngest loved looking for frogs all day and my older children enjoyed the kayaks. Everything was provided that was needed. My only complaint was the amount of cobwebs inside of the cabin and the cleanliness of the grounds area. There were chairs tables and other items that seemed to have been broken or no longer in use that were just strewn about the property. Overall it was a peaceful place that just needs a little more work around the edges. Also, i am not from the area so it may be common but i was surprised to be able to see through many cracks in the boards for the flooring. We could see straight through to the ground.

    Quiet and cozy All in all was very similar tothe Listing as well. If I had to nit pick there were a few things structurally that needed some attention, but was easily looked past. Was also very pleased to see that the hosts had fully stocked the kitchen with utensils.

    Spent 2 nights over Columbus Day weekend with our 2 teenagers at this sweet little cabin. The cabin is nice and cozy and has everything you need. Beds are comfortable, the screened patio is perfect to have your meals and enjoy the sounds of the swamp around. There is a firepit on the little peninsula behind the cabin were we spent most of our time outdoors. We also used the kajaks that were provided to get out on the lake and it’s really beautiful to go through the trees. Overall a great little vacation spot to enjoy nature around you.

    We were staying in a hotel in the Shreveport area and had problems with the noise level there. Luckily I found a last-minute opening and we moved to the Emerald Cove Cabin. The property is rustic and eclectic but offers modern comforts. Working during the day was great since the internet is solid enough for voip. The sounds of the surrounding wildlife from the screened porch in the evenings are amazing. Hope to stay again next time we visit!!

    Just what we needed to take a breather and relax. Came for just 2 nights but they were amazing. Basically no phones and no tv, just my wife and I and the sounds of nature.

    This place is AMAZING!! Easy check in- check out. Fabulous lake access, kyaks, wonderful screened-in porch, the kids loved the bunk beds and trundle bed. We were impressed by the secluded area, but with enough parking space for our jetski and truck. The nature was so calming at night. The hosts.... can't say enough! Super responsive, addressed all questions so quickly and set up the most amazing space for our family. I'd give this VRBO experience a 10/10!! We will definitely return!
