About this property

Perfect for families-Huge covered deck- Sleeps 11.

What a perfect place to be - it is private and you have the lake, 4 kayaks, fishing, a swing, day hikes or just enjoy the outdoors to pass your time. The lodge is a remodeled old lake house as a lake house should be! This is a special house on a special property with unbelievable 180" views and huge lakefront. Fish from the large dock or park your own boat in the boat house. The water is fine and nothing short of fun for everyone. The tree-filled property allows a stroll to the point or simply enjoy sunrise/sunset from the huge covered deck looking over it all. Large Master w/King bed a love seat sleeper (twin) with another chair that unfolds into a twin for a small child.
Second bedroom on main floor with a Queen poster bed.
Upstairs rooms - 3rd bedroom 3 twin beds, 4th bedroom has 1 Full bed. I just added a twin bed on the landing in case there is a teen who wants to be separate from the younger set. THERE ARE BEDS FOR 11 HEADS!!-- with nice linens and towels! This is a place for fun! You won't be disappointed with this cabin. The upstairs bath is remaining original to its "70's vibe". If your kids don't know anything about the 70's, here is a perfect example of the retro feel. I am taking votes - does it stay or be remodeled? It is perfectly clean and tidy - soooo 70's!
This is an amazing property that still has the old time charm of a lake cabin but with modern conveniences! You will love, love, love the covered deck that allows you to see the world on the lake and be outdoors rain or shine (yes, we do have those rainy days- but the whole crowd can be on the deck if so.) A charming, fully appointed kitchen with stainless appliances exists but the outside grill is the way to go. A separate retro fridge on the deck for your drink and snacks is handy. You are carefree here---the house is set up for everyone to enjoy. Grab a book and curl up in the window seat, a huge cabinet is filled with games and a big screen TV sits over the fireplace and in the Master for those special games or programs, WiFi, and did I mention a huge dock for swimming and outdoor play? The boat house is yours to enjoy so bring your boat or jet skis! As you know, the place to be at Lake Martin is in the water! Enjoy the fire pit by the waters edge - enjoy some s'mores or the flicker of flames. Bring your own wood or use all of mine you want for a small wood fee. Get the character feel of a lodge or cottage on the lake at 55 Waterside Lane. Interested in a pontoon rental? We have great contacts for you. Just let me know and I will connect you. This is a happy place.

Excellent
We stayed the middle of October and had warm and rainy cool days. So, we enjoyed the fire pit and fireplace. The porch was our favorite place to hang out, with the most comfortable seating. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The living room had great seating to watch TV and to read. When we had questions the owners responded very quickly. We would highly recommend this place and hope to come again.

Labor Day family getaway
The lake house was fantastic! We had a group of 11 people ranging in age from 4-73. It was just what we needed. It had plenty of beds and sleeping arrangements. Also, the availability of the host was perfect! We hope to stay here again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Lenz Griffin

Host profile image
My husband (John) and I are a career military family and have moved so many times it is not even funny but it has been a great life of adventure. We found our "home" on the lake and hope to build many years of memories as our children grow and start their own families just as you can. I (Janet) am from Idaho and had a hard time assimilating to the south except that I did go to Huntingdon College in Montgomery. John is from S. Carolina (yep- a Clemson boy) and loves the water. We have 2 children, Cam and Josie, and are now empty-nesters. We just moved to Montgomery. Maybe one more move for us!

Why they chose this property

We have dear friends who live at Lake Martin and over the past 4 years, we visited more and more, stayed longer and found it harder and harder to leave. We wanted a place that our family could enjoy as they grow--kind of a legacy. Nothing too fancy but something that you could just relax and have fun with. I think we found it with this house but it needed lots of updates! So, we have been working hard and really hope you fall in love with the easy nature of it and that your family can make memories here. Updates are constant and this place has its own charm. I hope you love it as we do!

What makes this property unique

Benefits of this house.......the inspiration of the lake, from every room! The property is enormous and you have all the way to the point of land to enjoy. No one is next to you so you have so much privacy and space to spread out. I don't like feeling like I am in a subdivision---that is what we all leave behind. I wanted it to be natural, not fussy. The windows from the living room bring the lake right to you and the outside deck adds so much outdoor space that you only need to sleep indoors (sleeps 12)! The deck is huge, covered and looks over it all! We added a very natural fire pit next to the water - a perfect addition for fall. I also like being close to some restaurants and clubs if I want to go out, and we are within 30 minutes of Auburn. This property lets you do it all. Oh, and the boathouse is yours to enjoy. There is plenty of boat parking onsite and the public boat ramp 4 miles up Highway 34/ or pay to launch at Harbor Pointe in Stillwaters. Boats, paddle boards, jet skis etc. are all available to rent. There are 4 kayaks on property for you to use(no lifejackets). For pontoon rental brought to your dock - let me know and I will get you in touch with the best value rental on the lake.
The location of the property is so convenient - we are close to Chuck's Pizza and Chimney Rock by boat and stores and shops and golf are within 5-10 minutes.
The best part is the character and privacy of this house. I guarantee you will love it!
