Didn’t want to leave!!

We stayed in Martin for a long weekend with family and friends. The home is beautiful and exactly as described. The owner was very responsive and made our planning and time there so easy. We rented a couple of kayaks and while it was a bit cool, paddling around the lake was really fun. Restaurants, attractions and groceries are about 20 min away, so plan your days well. We visited a couple of state parks and saw some beautiful waterfalls, stopped at a winery and brewery and just really enjoyed our relaxing time away. The hot tub and fireplaces were the perfect end to each evening. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing stay!

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful home! I was nervous because of a previous rental on VRBO being terrible but this one was truly amazing! So much room and the house was immaculate. So much room for our large multi generational family stay. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The dock was spacious enough for our family to fish, sunbathe and swim! Ping pong was a big hit for our family as well as the fire pit. Hot tub was wonderful. It was truly the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had. Nights we didn’t feel like cooking and we were thrilled! We had pizza, wings, Philly steak and we loved it all! So close by. An incredible vacation and we will definitely be back!

This home has it all!

A group of 4 couples spent 3 wonderful days at the Waterford Lodge this past weekend. The cabin was perfect and had everything we could possibly need. The location was in a very private wooded setting with no neighbors to be seen. The 4 bedrooms each had their own private bathrooms and were spaced out for privacy. There was plenty of space in the back yard for grilling and outdoor games. The basement was well furnished with plenty of games and a huge indoor theater if the weather was bad. The owners were great to work with and answered all of our questions. They definitely take pride in their home. The upscale furnishings and personalized welcome gift well exceeded our expectations. We will definitely stay here again.

Getaway weekend for groom and his groomsmen

Twelve guys getting away to celebrate an upcoming wedding and get some guy time. We had an amazing time in the house playing poker at the big table. Watching ballgames. Awesome fire pit time. House is well furnished with games and entertainment. Used the shuffleboard table and ping pong table all weekend. Golfed at Curahee Club which an elite course with amazing views and club amenities. Couldn’t have asked for a better situation for what we wanted to do. The house. The deck. The pit. The lake views. Really amazing.

This is the most well-stocked cabin I’ve ever rented! Every utensil, bowl, 3 crock pots, tons of cleaners, fresh towels, literally you don’t need anything except yourself! This cabin was very clean and spacious and a ton of activities. A cabinet full of reading material, games, and so much more! We had such a wonderful time and will definitely come back!

perfect family getaway

House is beautiful inside and out. It is one of the most well stocked homes I've ever encountered on VRBO. The owner was very accessible and helpful with a couple of minor issues we ran into. There is almost nothing you could need that is not available at this beautiful home. Our family of 10 had an incredible week together. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice and clean house which is fully stocked

The 8 of us had a great time. Rita who was our contact person was very responsive. We had a problem with two of the toilets and she took care of it immediately. We love the house and activities available to us. The only two things I would would recommend: In the basement which has a king side bed and another sleeping areas with a bunk bed is very cold . I recommend getting a separate thermostat to allow regulation of the heating system in the basement. The other thing I would recommend is get better pillows for a more comfortable sleep. I would recommend this home and would go back to spend time there. It is really a very nice property.

Amazing Stay in Perfect Cabin!

As amazing as the pictures of the cabin are, they really don’t do this place justice. Everything is perfect and clean in the cabin. Almost all of the TVs in the cabin our recent high DEF Samsung‘s including at least a 70 inch are in the media room with reclining seats to watch movies or games. Some things that I wondered about that I can now answer after staying at the property: the walkway down to the dock is very easy to walk with only a light grade, the dock has a covered pontoon boat stored there and an available pedal boat in the other covered slip, there is a boat ramp about a mile away but the closest marina to rent a boat is about a 20-25 minute boat ride away, fishing from the dock was spotty but we managed to catch a couple very large bluegill and a few catfish - the only bass strike we had got away when it snapped the line, the hot tub works perfectly and is easy to heat and cool, the media room has about 7 or 8 fully reclining comfy chairs (one wouldn’t recline) where you can watch a game or movie in HD, the ping pong table is also an air hockey game and mini pool table all in one, the kitchen is well stocked except for seasonings and spices - bring those with you. The last thing I will mention is the all encompassing silence of this place. This branch of the lake is fairly quiet in terms of boat traffic and between boats you could hear a pin drop across the lake. Amazingly quiet.

Multiple Couples = A+

This is a great house for multiple couples since each bedroom includes a bathroom. We had more than enough room for our group of 9 people. The two bedrooms upstairs are great sized and include a twin bed in front of the window. The main level is expansive with the living room, dining room and large kitchen. I’ve never stayed at a cabin with a kitchen stocked this well. Everything we could possibly need to cook a meal from a coffee maker to multiple crockpots. There was even a margarita machine in the pantry! The only thing I needed but didn’t find was a pizza cutter. The master bedroom with the large bathroom, steam shower and huge closet was just off the living room and kitchen area. Downstairs was the bar area, the nook with bunks, theater and the second master bedroom, almost identical to the one upstairs. The hot tub, wood burning fireplace on the deck and the fire pit in the backyard were a huge hit with our group. We did find several things not working, broken or confusing. The waffle maker and the fireplace in the master bedroom did not work, however, not a big deal. The theater room has a couple of broken chairs and we couldn’t figure out how to recline the others. We had a good time with the karaoke machine but only one of the microphones worked. There are two thermostats on the main level which control the entire home. We weren’t sure which area each thermostat controlled so the basement area was freezing and the upstairs was hot. An explanation in the welcome book would be helpful. Some in our group checked out the nearby hiking and waterfalls while others fished. The girls drove to downtown Toccoa and shopped in the antique stores. It was a good time had by all and memories we will never forget. We’ve already talked about a future stay. Maybe a trip when it is warmer to enjoy the lake. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Little piece of Heaven on the Lake

We couldn't of asked for a better place to stay to get away. The accommodations were the best, you lack for nothing when staying here. Even though the weather was cool outside, it was cozy and warm inside. Anything you would want to do, watch movies, play games, or just chill and relax, this is the place to be. If you want to venture outside and walk down tho the dock on the gravel path or you can take the 1/2 mile hike tho the front gate and 1/2 mile back there really isn't a lot of traffic it's nice and quiet. Loved it here, would recommend it if you are looking in this area!
