Firefly Cottage – Lake Martin Vacation Rental | Sleeps 8 | Lake Access | Pond View| Pet Friendly
Welcome to Firefly Cottage, a beautifully built 2-bedroom, 2-bath lake-access vacation rental in Lake Martin’s sought-after Kowaliga area. Completed in 2023, this cozy yet modern retreat offers peaceful surroundings and convenient access to marinas, wedding venues, and local events—ideal for families, couples, or small groups.
Now managed by Rentals on Lake Martin, Firefly Cottage is new to our program but already well-loved by returning guests. This charming retreat has built a loyal following under previous management, and we’re proud to continue that tradition of comfort, care, and Southern hospitality.
This thoughtfully designed home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, with a queen bed in each bedroom, a bunk bed alcove, and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room. Inside, you’ll enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, a welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and TVs in every room, including Hulu with Disney+ and ESPN for streaming your favorite shows and games.
The covered back porch overlooks a quiet, professionally stocked 5-acre fishing pond—a great spot to relax with morning coffee or wind down in the evening. Fishing is allowed, and guests are welcome to keep what they catch. Please note that swimming in the pond is not permitted. Guests are welcome to bring their kayaks or paddleboards, or rent water gear from the nearby Adventure Center at Russell Crossroads—just minutes away.
Lake Martin access is just 150–200 yards away, with a shared community space that includes:
A boat ramp and staging area
12 boat slips (first come, first serve)
Multiple tie-off spots around a small peninsula
A fire pit, picnic tables, tire swing, and green space for outdoor fun
Firefly Cottage is also close to many Lake Martin favorites:
Church in the Pines – 5 miles
Kowaliga Marina & Restaurant – 5 miles
Eclectic Warehouse – 7.8 miles
Overlook Farms – 13.3 miles
Willow Point – 13 miles
Wind Creek State Park – 17.5 miles
Jordan-Hare Stadium (Auburn) – 38 miles
** Pets are welcome at Firefly Cottage with a $175 pet fee. We’re happy to offer a space that includes your four-legged family members—just let us know when booking.
Whether you’re attending a wedding, enjoying a lake weekend, or heading to a football game, Firefly Cottage offers comfort, convenience, and that laid-back Lake Martin charm.
Don’t wait—Firefly Cottage books quickly for weekends, events, and holidays. Reserve your stay today!
Seasonal Water Level Notice:
Lake Martin water levels are managed by Alabama Power and typically begin lowering in September or October, depending on rainfall and annual water management decisions. Levels generally start rising again around March 1st each year. During the off-season, water depth at docks and boat slips may be lower during that time, than shown in summer photos.
Stay Longer, Relax More – 4th Night FREE!
Book 3 nights at Firefly Cottage and enjoy the 4th night on us for stays between March 1 and Labor Day. More time for lake sunsets, porch mornings, and memory-making with family and friends—without the extra cost.
Offer valid on new reservations only. Discount applied after booking confirmation.
