We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Creekside Cottage on Lake Martin! The property was incredibly clean, very well kept, and everything worked exactly as it should—which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.Kim was an amazing host from start to finish—super friendly, responsive, and made us feel right at home. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great experience.The amenities were a huge highlight for us. We loved being able to use the kayaks, and the fire pit made for some great evenings relaxing by the water. My son, nephew, and their friends had an absolute blast the entire time—it was one of those trips they’ll be talking about for a long time.Another big plus—there are a lot of great restaurants within a 20-minute drive, so you’ve got plenty of options nearby. And even if the weather isn’t perfect, there are board games and a TV with Wi-Fi to keep everyone entertained.Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and exactly what we were hoping for. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great Lake Martin getaway!

Perfect setting to comfortably slip away for a laid back weekend with family. The much needed sunshine on the dock & dinner spots like Niffer’s & Lake Martin Pizza Co was what we needed. We’ll be back.

Checking in was easy! The kitchen was nice and full of things needed to make everyday meals.
Our stay at this Lake Martin Vrbo rental was absolutely perfect! The location was ideal—just 10 minutes from town and close to great hiking trails, making it a fantastic getaway for both relaxation and adventure.The backyard view was stunning, and we loved unwinding in the hammock while soaking up the sunshine. The fire pit was another highlight, especially with firewood conveniently available on the property and at the base of the road—it made for the perfect star-gazing experience!The hosts were incredibly friendly, communicative, and easy to work with, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Plus, they were welcoming to our three dogs, which meant so much to us!We highly recommend this rental and can’t wait to come back for another peaceful retreat on the lake!
