The Freeki Tiki - Lake Martin Retreat

The house has a lovely setting, not to mention lots of fun yard games and lake to swim in. Very peaceful and was perfect for our weekend!

I can't say enough nice things about this beautiful lake house and its wonderful owner. I had VRBO call the owner when I was DESPERATE to find a place for my daughter to go during hurricane Irma when her hotel room accidentally got cancelled and there wasn't a single hotel room south of Atlanta. The owner was nice enough to call me right back and when he heard the dilemma, made all kinds of concessions and exceptions for us and was just so kind and helpful, I'll never forget it. He kept in touch with me all week letting me know about the weather and letting me know it was fine for my daughter to stay more days (for free!) if she needed to because of the hurricane.

My daughter LOVED the house, couldn't stop sending me messages about how beautiful and clean and perfect it was. (And she's a tough customer.) She also loved the little shelter by the lake, and the dock, and the way the house was kind of tucked back into a little private alcove. They had beautiful weather and had a great time during most of the week. When the bad weather of the hurricane hit, they house did great and they didn't lose power.

One thing you might not think of, if you have a rainy day, Auburn is really close. She went to Auburn and did one of those "Escape Room" adventure things and said it was really fun and not too expensive.

This was a fantastic place to spend the weekend. I really didn't want to leave. The tiki hut & doc area were so peaceful. A great place for our boat & let the kids swim. The view was breathtaking even from in the house. My mother has cancer & was able to enjoy the tranquil setting from the dining/sun room comfortably in the a/c. I would have given 5 stars if the 3rd bedroom would have had better access to a bathroom. I would definitely love to come back someday.

We will be back!

We absolutely had the best time here! It was a quiet cove away from the action, which is just what we were looking for! The kitchen had all the necessities that you needed. The tiki bar was an added bonus! The kids were able to fish, swim, paddle board, and kayak right off the pier/dock. There was hardly any boat traffic. We were able to sit at the kitchen table in the mornings and watch the kids fish off the dock. We will definitely be back!!!
