Escape to the comfort of this beautiful lake cottage

We hope you'll love this cozy, yet spacious home as much as we do! The large living room and kitchen/ dining area are perfect for larger groups to gather. This lower level living area opens directly to the beautiful back yard, covered gazebo and the private dock. The living room has a complete bar set up small refrigerator, ice maker and plenty of glassware from wine glasses to rocks glasses. The kitchen is fully equipped with basic small appliances and includes plenty of storage and pantry space for all your food items. There is also a full bathroom adjacent to the kitchen area that has a shower and a separate bathtub. Upstairs you'll find a huge game room with gaming table, ping pong table, darts, billiards table and tons of board games and puzzles! 3 of the 5 bedrooms are just down the hallway: The master bedroom with en suite, and then a King bedroom and a Queen bedroom that share a hallway full bath with double sink. Each of these bedrooms has their own balcony access that overlooks our beautiful lake!
Next door to the main house is a detached garage/cottage that houses an upstairs Queen bedroom en suite with sitting area and coffee bar. Downstairs, one half of the garage has been converted into an 8 person bunkhouse. There is also a second washer and dryer in the detached garage which is convenient for those guests staying in the cottage.
Enjoy an evening grilling out on the full size grill with griddle and watching TV on the outdoor gazebo! The dock has plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their preferred activity. Whether it's sunning on one of the 6 lounge chairs, fishing off the dock or chillin on a float! You will absolutely fall in love with this place and it's picturesque setting.

Complete Package For Vacay!
This place has it all! I booked this property for a group of friends and we had a blast! The large kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. We never ate out! The large gas grill was great and it has two small ovens to cook multiple things at different temps. The dock was great for securing the boat and floating in the water with friends. There was also a jet ski dock. We lounged outside often with multiple outdoor seating areas. We wish it had been a little cooler at night to take advantage of the firepit. There were many different sleeping options for privacy and convenience. The decor is pretty and the house included nice extras like multiple coffee and snack stations, reading lights on the bunk beds, quality soaps and shampoos, and a large tub of beach towels in case we didn't bring enough. We plan to make this an annual trip and stay here again next year.

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful Family trip! The host was great at responding to messages and answering any questions we had. We had plenty of room for our family of 11 and the kids loved the playroom space. We did bring our boat and had a storage place for our trailer which was a plus. Great location on the Lake as well as by car. We will definitely be staying here again!

Good times on Lake Martin!
What you want out of the weather in June while at Lake Martin. Hot and dry. The water was gorgeous and refreshing. Had our two older grandsons so we tubed, skied, Chimney Rock'd and Goat Island'd. The vacation home was all we could ask for. Plenty of space inside and outside. Everyone had a great time!

Amazing home and hostess
We had a wonderful stay. The house was amazing, very clean and comfortable. Stephanie went above and beyond as a hostess. Due to storms the day before our stay, the power was out when we arrived. Stephanie searched and found us another property. We chose to stay despite the power outage. We cooked on the grill, slept with the doors and windows open and were very comfortable. Power was restored the next day. Stephanie was amazing through the entire process and comped us generously, even though this was obviously not her fault. I highly recommend this property and the gracious hostess, Stephanie.

A Great Place to Stay
Myself and 13 others from my golf group stayed at the lake house. The owner was in constant contact and very responsive to our questions. The house was large and inviting. It included all the normal amenities. It was centrally located between Auburn and Montgomery and of course Lake Martin is readily available. Great golf located in easy drives to RTJ Golf Trail. Thanks to the owner for providing a great place for others to enjoy.

Great lake house1
Our first visit to Lake Martin was last Labor Day weekend. We loved it so much that we decided to repeat, add my sister to the immediate fam mix and upgrade. This house did not disappoint! Great game room, and lots of space for all to sleep and hang out inside and out. We rented the optional pontoon boat, which was convenient and so fun! (of course it added to clean up chores, but we got it done!) Stephanie answered questions promptly. Overall, terrific family getaway!

Loved it!!!
We had a great time. The house was great. We had 14 (mostly teenagers and up) and it didn't feel crowded. Communication was excellent. Received a reply within 30 minutes every time i had a question. There are places on the lake ive rented boats from in the past. I almost went that route again this time but soooooo glad I decided to rent from the property owners. Mainly because of the opportunity to do water sports for the kids... even the teens. Its a tritoon boat but 200hp motor... plenty of pulling power. We had friends from Germany visiting with us. Their two kids couldn't tube, knee board or ski enough. Especially since it's typically too cold in north Germany for water sports. It was an awesome time. Chris and Stephanie were awesome hosts. Loved it!!!

Excellent property. Nice neighbors. Very well stocked kitchen. Stove top freaky fast. Docks nice. Exterior property clean and well kept. A/C’s work well. Plenty of games - enjoyed pool table and ping pong. Some issues with septic system repaired/replaced after our trip.

Family Friendly
We had 8 adults and 8 children (13 to 1 ½) and everyone was very pleased with the place. The main living area is the bottom floor which worked out great! The playroom was a big hit with the kids. We docked our bass boat and used their jet ski parking to dock our canoe. Kids really enjoyed the paddle board! Many items were provided that we didn’t anticipate- tons of beach towels, toilet tissue, paper towels, trash bags, etc. And all kinds of kitchen supplies! Owners were very accessible by text or phone call every time we needed anything or had a question. Had room to park 4 cars and a truck with boat trailer. I highly recommend you check it out.!

Beautiful Lake Martin Getaway
Our family group of 10 arrived from several states for our son's graduation from Auburn. The house was perfect for us to relax, cook, and laugh together. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen. The drive to Auburn for the graduation ceremony was easy, and the comfortable living room with smart tv was the premium location for those who stayed home to watch! Stephanie was responsive and helpful when we needed her.

We found the owner to be very responsive when we had questions. Once we got there, the property was clean, well-maintained and well-stocked. The listing showed a gameroom and there were plenty of games for all ages. It was cold outside so we didn't leave the property very much. We relaxed and enjoyed each other's company, which was exactly what we had intended the trip for. Highly recommend!!
