House is fitted with essentials, and the host is welcoming and accommodating. Ideal near town location In quiet neighborhood. Environmentally sensitive owner.
Sunset Peninsula at Lake Martin was perfect. Our family enjoyed staying here so much. Matt and Ansley always answered our questions quickly. What a great place to stay.
We have enjoyed staying at this property multiple times. Our family have made some of the best memories here at Sunset Peninsula. We love the huge family room. Everything was perfect for our stay. I guess we are kinda hooked.
I wouldn’t change anything about the house or grounds. My party consisted of only my girlfriend and me. So we had lots and lots of room.The view of the lake was beautiful from inside the den through lots of windows or outside on the dock. Sunsets were really pretty almost every evening. We even caught a nice catfish from the dock.
Wonderful place to enjoy the water and beautiful views in a serene quiet setting. It is near town which makes it easy to get provisions and grab something to eat. The property is level with no steps and directly on the water. The owners are very accommodating. Our next year’s visit is already booked!
This was the perfect place for our family. The space the house provides in the living area was outstanding. The views were spectacular. The outside water toys were a hit with EVERYONE. We took 2 boats with us and had ample dock space for two. Host was fantastic to work with, The entire family has said “this is our new spot for our annual family LM trip”. The grands said “this IS the new Waterhouse”.
The accommodations are spacious and outside docks and seating are great for family fun. Everything we needed for a wonderful week was provided. Owners are gracious and easy to work with. We reserve from year to year so that we won’t miss out on this piece of paradise.
This property is in an excellent location with outstanding views of the lake. Perfect for a family that enjoys swimming and boating. I highly recommend!

Fantastic!!
Our family of grown kids & grands had a great stay the week of the 4th. Matt was immediately responsive & helpful, plenty of seating, views were incredible - the walls of windows made us feel like we were on a houseboat in the water. Definitely plan to return - didn't want to leave!
