Great "cabin"!!

Date of Stay: 05/28/08 Review Submitted: 06/01/08

Just got back from our weekend at the "cabin" (really, it is a house) and it was great. The house is newer with upgraded tile, kitchen appliances and overall top quality furnishings, hard to find in a vacation home. Flat screen TV with great stereo and Dish Sat. We have rented quite a few vacation homes over the years, this was a great find and plan to rent again soon.

Owner response:I am glad that you had a great time at the cabin. I look forward to hearing from you again in the near future for another stay.

Great Place - Great Host

My wife and I recent from Matt from September 3rd through September 11, 2011. We came across the property while visiting Home Away and didn't know Matt before hand. He went out of his way to make the stay a great vacation. We were able to dock our boat at his pier the entire week, got up early to fish, and at pizza at Chuck's Maria, which is really a short walk. There is a grill on the back porch, gas, and ready to grill, which we did. The house was clean and well taken care. Matt contacted us during the week to see how things were going so he continued to check in on our visit even after the "sale". We would stay here again and would recommend this home to anyone looking for a great location.

Owner response:I'm glad Stephen you had a great time. It's my goal to make sure everyone that stays with us has a great experience. We love repeat business.

Lake Martin "Home Away From Home" Visit

This Lake Martin "Home Away From Home" is beautiful and such a relaxing place to stay. Great location, very clean and comfortable, beautiful furniture. We loved the screened in deck with view of Lake Martin and bottom deck with swing. Loved the kitchen, lots of good cooking took place and the grill on screened in deck was used a lot, too. My little white West Highland Terrier, Benji, just thought he was king sitting on the screened in deck, even though he is blind and could not enjoy the view. I miss Lake Martin so much and cannot wait to go back. This house is an easy location to get to and find. Matt is such a pleasure to work with, very considerate and concerned about your stay at his house. I have already recommended this house to several of my co-workers, friends and family. I hope to be able to visit again next year and would love to stay at this beautiful lake house. Even though I am from the Gulf Coast Area and only 45 min from the beach, I have fallen in love with Lake Martin, it is worth the drive.

Back at my desk wishing I was back at this property!

Very blessed to have found this property! Pets are welcome too! The map was very easy to follow to the property. Upon our arrival finding the front porch gated was a plus! Our " four legged girls" enjoyed the front porch while we unloaded. The screened in back porch with three fans made for some lazy evenings and some mouth watering BBQ (the grill was awesome)! The bed was very comfortable! The owner of this property goes above and beyond the expatiations of renting a home! Kudo's Matt! The property management office people were very friendly and helpful too! Looking forward to next year! I will be suggesting this home to others!

The best ever

We had the best time at the cabin. Very clean and had everything you need. Being on the lake was such a bonus. The owner was above and beyond with hospitality. I would recommend this place to everyone. We really enjoyed Christopher. It's a very nice restaurant on the lake. We also rented a ski boat from Fombay and Sons. They were extremly nice and professional. We would 100% come come back and stay at the cabin. Thanks again to the owner and property managers for your kindness.

Owner response:I am glad that we could be of help as I am especially glad that our hard work is paying off. We try hard to make sure that each and every one of our tenants gets the best experience possible. Lake Martin is such a beautiful place and having a great cabin to stay at only makes the experience that much more pleasurable.

Very nice cabin

We enjoyed the cabin both times we went. Like everyone else mentions, the rental is top notch, nice appliances and other amenities. Sitting out on the screened deck looking out at the lake is a wonderful way to start your day. I think one of the nicest things about the house is its location right next to Chuck’s Marina. The guys at the marina are really nice and you can launch your boat there for free, and they will also let you park your boat trailer in their lot if there’s room. The tiny cove it is located in is also really quiet and relaxing, despite being located just behind the marina. The last time we went out there, we spent our last morning just hanging out at the dock floating in the water, never disturbed by a boat or jet-ski roaring by. Like another reviewer mentioned, both Matt and Don are really pleasant to deal with, and do everything to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. And it was a plus that we were able to take our dog Susie with us too...really made it feel like a home away from home!

We just returned from Lake Martin, this was our 1st visit to the lake, the cabin was just as described, it looks like a cabin on the outside but when you get in it’s more than that, the cabin was clean, spacious with modern look and appeal, the view to the lake was spectacular, the owner “Matt” was courteous and the property agent “Don” was friendly and helpful. This was a great vacation and I highly recommend this cabin.

First Trip to Lake Martin

Just returned from great week on the water. This is really a great place to stay. It's new, great furnishings, neat deck to hang out and cookout. Docking boat out back was very convienent, only had to load/unload one time. Chuck's Marina is also great place for food, fun, and fuel. I hope me and my sons have more visits.
