About this property
Lake Martin Cottage, Sunset Views, Private Dock, Waterfront, Blue Creek Sleeps 6
Blue Creek Retreat on Lake Martin
Welcome to Blue Creek Retreat on beautiful Lake Martin—complete with a private dock, beautiful sunset views, and peaceful slough water perfect for swimming, floating, or tying up your boat.
Bring your boat — guests are welcome to tie up at the private dock during their stay, with a public boat launch just 10 minutes away.
Start your mornings with coffee on the porch overlooking the water and end the day watching the sunset reflect across the lake.
Located just 20 miles from Auburn, guests can enjoy relaxing lake days while still being close to the excitement of Auburn football weekends, great restaurants, and charming local shops.
Blue Creek Retreat is a guesthouse located next to the main house on the property. While the homes are close to one another, we make every effort to give our guests as much privacy as possible. When we are at the main house, we park away from the guesthouse and keep to ourselves so guests can fully enjoy their stay.
Layout & Sleeping Arrangements:
The guesthouse has a two-level layout that provides space for families or couples traveling together.
• The primary bedroom and main living space are located upstairs
• A daybed with trundle is located just outside the upstairs bedroom near the bathroom and living area. • The second bedroom is located on the lower level, which is accessed by going outside and entering from the lower level of the home
Many guests appreciate this setup because it allows extra privacy for couples or older children traveling together, but we like to make sure everyone understands the layout when booking.
Once you step outside, the lake quickly becomes the highlight of the stay.
Lake Life at Blue Creek Retreat:
While the home itself is cozy and comfortable, the real magic happens outside on the water.
Whether you’re planning a family vacation, boating weekend, Auburn football trip, or quiet lakeside retreat, Blue Creek Retreat offers the ideal combination of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty.
Wake up each morning to calm lake views, sip coffee on the porch as the water comes to life, and spend your days swimming, boating, floating, fishing, or simply soaking up the peaceful surroundings.
Private Dock & Lake Access:
One of the best features of Blue Creek Retreat is the private dock, where guests can swim, fish, float, or tie up their boat during their stay.
Bring your boat and enjoy easy access to all areas of beautiful Lake Martin. Guests can launch at the public boat ramp on Centerport Road off Highway 50, which is located about 10 minutes from the house.
After a day on the water, return to the dock to relax in the quiet cove and enjoy the beautiful evening sunsets.
The Cottage:
Blue Creek Retreat is a charming, recently updated lake cottage designed to make guests feel comfortable and at home.
The home comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests and includes:
• 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds
• 2 full bathrooms
• Daybed with trundle for additional sleeping space
• Open living room perfect for relaxing after a day on the lake
• Fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals together
• Dining area for family dinners and game nights
Large windows bring in natural light and beautiful lake views throughout the home.
Outdoor Living:
Lake life is best enjoyed outside, and Blue Creek Retreat offers several spaces to relax and take in the scenery.
Guests love:
• Morning coffee overlooking the lake
• Afternoon swimming and floating in the calm slough
• Fishing off the dock
• Sunset views over the water
• Relaxing evenings with family and friends
The quiet cove makes it a great spot for floating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming.
