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!

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.

Home was great, lots of space 3 for everyone to spread out . Kids loved the lake and playing in the clay , picking up shells. We walked the neighborhood almost every day and the beautiful thunderstorms we got to enjoy on the front porch in the rockers - only negative thing I can think of was the cobwebs but your in the woods so that’s expected:-) everyone had a great time !! The host was great too and very communicative- especially letting us know amenities that were around as we have never been to lake hartwell ! Definitely an enjoyable vacation

Great house, spacious and beautiful lakefront spot. The home theater did not work. The cables are faulty and we couldn’t watch any movies. Streaming was tough as was general communication with the outside world because there is almost no cell service and the WiFi was extremely slow.

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.

A Great Family-Friendly Stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was nice being able to fit our large extended family all under one roof with plenty of space to spare. Between fireplaces, game tables, and the theater room, there was always something to keep everyone entertained. Would definitely stay again!

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!

This place is Amazing if you are looking for a great place, look no further. We had a blast fishing, bomb fires, corn hole, hot tub and much more. Caught a 18 inch largemouth bass and several others.

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.
