"Very clean. Quick, friendly, check-in staff. All the onsite amenities were great (restaurant, 24-hour gym, pool/spa, onsite place for snacks/drinks/toiletries, laundry facilities, outside courtyard with games). Also, perfectly located, just steps away from the beach where you can rent jet skis, boats, etc., and lots of good restaurants. Also, within easy walking distance (a block away) is a Whole Foods, some good fast-food choices (chipotle, panda express, pizza), a bank, and a great lake wear/lake equipment store and gift shop. We've stayed here three times now as it is a great price for what you get!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Emerald Bay?
The best time to visit Emerald Bay is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and all outdoor activities are readily available.During this period, temperatures typically range from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit, creating ideal conditions for hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the lake. Boat tours operate frequently, offering unparalleled views of Fannette Island and Vikingsholm Castle. This is also when the water is warm enough for swimming, making it superb for families looking to enjoy the beach areas.For those who prefer fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, the shoulder seasons of late spring (May) and early fall (September to early October) are also excellent choices. The weather is still pleasant for outdoor activities, and the changing foliage in the fall offers a beautiful backdrop for photographs.
