Perfect For Church Retreat
The lake house was perfect for our stay. We took 27 people on a 3 day church retreat, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The lake house was very clean and comfortable. the views from the lake house to the water are amazing. We loved the large kitchen with industrial size appliances! There are two bedrooms on the main floor with two bathrooms just outside of those rooms. The large living room, large dining room, and large kitchen are also on the main floor. All other rooms are downstairs on the lower level, which are only accessed by outside stairway. There was plenty of parking space for our 8 vehicles. Renters should keep in mind that there are lots of stairs to walk to go down to the water, and about 18 steps to get to the downstairs bedrooms, for anyone who can't do stairs should know this ahead of time. Also, the closest Walmart is about 15 to 20 minutes away, which was not a problem. All in all, the place is just awesome and the owners were very easy to work with. We will rent this place again in the near future! We highly recommend!

Perfect for our group!
We held a marriage retreat here, and the gathering spaces were absolutely perfect with a huge industrial kitchen and extremely spacious dining area. The living area was perfect for our group sessions. We also enjoyed having a session outside around the fire pit. All our needs were met, beds were comfy, perfect location. Instructions and descriptions were fantastic, and the host was very responsive and kind. We would most definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay
It was perfect our family of 9 adults and 16 children. Great spot on the water. We rented boats locally and enjoyed tubing, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming off the dock. There are a lot of stairs so keep that in mind if you have anyone with mobility impairments in your party. Enjoyed the large kitchen and living spaces!

The property is great. Such a nice and relaxing place. Enough room to accommodate my family. We had 7 children and 18 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us. We loved it being right on the lake.

Family Reunion
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. We had a large group and the separate individual rooms/bathrooms were nice because we all had more privacy and felt it helped with noise too.
The large kitchen was fabulous and the dock was amazing! Great water off dock that you could fully enjoy.
Would stay here again.

All-In-One Event Property on the Lake
This place was perfect for my now wife & I to get married with a small family audience. Plenty of room for everyone, kitchen & dining room were amazing. The views from the back (upper and lower) porches were so satisfying from sunrise to sunset. We had multiple family couples that had their own Suites which really made it feel like a super nice hotel. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an all-in-one getaway for events ext.

We had the time of our lives!!!
Fantastic property for all our guest.
The kitchen (stove and refrigerator) need a good scrub, but we managed. This is a fantastic property. It could use some more lighting especially downstairs by the 3 bedroom suite. It was quite dark at night coming down the stairs.
Nevertheless, our family and friends loved the home and the location. I would not be surprised if some of them will book with you in the future.
We just wished we had stay longer!!!! Thanks so much.
By the way, the code to the laundry room did not work the day we were leaving so we had to leave the oar outside by the door on the floor.

Lake Life and the Big Chill
What a great place for a large group of friends! Hanging out on the decks for morning coffee and evening Happy Hours can’t be beat. Just a Great Lake house and everything you need for a large group, lots of privacy and lots of space. Unconventional set-up with bedrooms, bathrooms etc, but works out great . Kitchen is amazing if you have someone who likes to cook for large groups. Lake Martin and thus place are a great match!
