That 70's Kottage on Sunset Dr. BIG water view, sleeps 8
About this cottage rental
Located in Lake Martin, this charming cottage for $378 per night is a great choice for your next trip. BIG WATERFRONT VIEWS! AMAZING SUNSETS ON A POINT. The cabin was built in the late 60's, So we kept that mid-century Era. Orange & Avocado green w/ Grays & a modern twist. It is truly a one of a kind place on Lake Martin. Own dock, charcoal grill, outdoor fireplace. NOT child proof. Strict no animal policy. Parking for 2 ONLY, but we can accommodate 1 trailer & 2 more cars at other property 3 min away. We live next door if you need anything..... If you are the type that like listening to your music loud we don't care! Turn it up and enjoy your stay, or take advantage lake and go out on your boat all day! Gorgeous views, sunsets. Great location BIG WATER VIEW, I can not express enough, the view is almost a solid 220* (if not more) of open waters. You will NOT be in a slough. With that being said... Big waters means big action, but that's why floats are so much fun here.. We hope everyone enjoys our Theme, keeping it old-school with a modern touch. SLEEPING: -The upstairs sleeping quarters and hang out spot is perfect for kids/teens or single sleepers it has 4 twin platform beds, a Smart TV and a large window seat. -The two downstairs rooms are both Queen beds and more grown up styled. They are on main floor and share the bathroom as a Jack n Jill style. BATHRROM -A Jack n Jill bathroom is inside between both queen bedrooms on main floor, to help with bathroom we built an outside on the deck a LARGE PRIVATE walk in shower with plenty of room to get dressed in. For woman there is a black washcloth for removing makeup and I try very hard to provide packs of make up remover. KITCHEN -Full kitchen will stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, Keurig Mini coffee maker ( I live a large container stacked full of Dark Roast pods, also dry creamer and real sugar), all dishes (nice ones and hard plastic) pots, pans, mixing bowls, etc... If you have any questions on a certain item please ask. LIVING ROOM -new modern mid century sofa and oversize chair in living room. Smart TV with Roku, make sure to bring your personal App login info and please log out during check out, this helps to avoid new guest using your apps. Cabinet under TV has multiple board games! Also outdoor grey storage chest has a large grass checkers game and cornhole. Feel free to pull out Twister and play in the yard! DINING -dining, inside due to space there is 4 bar stools for bar top, outside under covered patio is a 6 top, also outdoor furniture and inside there are vintage lap trays under cabinet in living room to left. OUTSIDE The outside deck is wonderful for grilling out. Walkway out on the water with a dock, big waves coming in and yes it sounds like being at the ocean! Bring your floats, this place is fun in the water. Non Skid tread stairs going down into lake We have installed Mooring Whips for easy boat hook up! No need to tie to dock or try to figure out boat lift. Instructions on how to use will be printed out and in Welcome Book located on inside of main door. **We suggest if you have never used mooring whips please watch some YouTube videos on how to. There is a public boat ramp 3 minute drive from cabin and a 5 minute boat ride Parking for cabin only comes with 2 spots for vehicles only This home is on a point shared by 2 other homes so parking is narrow Outside on the deck will be a LARGE PRIVATE walk in shower with plenty of room to get dressed in and HOT water! *If you are lucky you may spot the local Bald Eagle, he loves to fly over the cabin* WE ARE CURRENTLY REMODELING our home next door, some days it’s just hammers some days it’s saws. It’s not a full blown crew. 1-4 people PETS/DOGS/CATS We have the strict non pet policy, this includes any visitors you may have come see you during your stay. This is because we live next door in a non leash law county. We have dogs, who LOVE LOVE LOVE people but HATE other dogs/cats. No one wants an altercation. No one wants a dog fight or death. This is us telling you now, we are NOT held responsible for our dogs behavior towards any pets on property. This is their home, their land, they will defend it from other animals....

ALSO, you are in mother nature, bugs, wildlife, reptiles are and could be around during your stay. The best way to cut back on bugs inside the house, never leave door open, use the provided electric bug zappers. We get our places sprayed twice a month, we get the yard sprayed for bugs also. Our home is treated.

We loved everything about the 70's cottage. The view was breathtaking. The outdoor shower was refreshing. The outdoor patio is where it is at. We made so many memories and we are looking forward to our next trip to Lake Martin❤️

The view from the 70's Kottage simply can't be beat - it was beautiful and was at a great location on the lake! The dock was so convenient for our boat, and Shellee was so accommodating helping us figure out where to park our boat trailer. Our entire family had a great time!
The upstairs bunk room was perfect for our five young kids, who loved sleeping up there, especially with their own television! And the mattresses in the downstairs bedrooms were beyond comfortable - we slept like a dream. We loved our time and can't wait to come back!

As a Gen X-er, this property took me back to the best childhood memories bather in avocado green and orange; velvet and shag. However, the nostalgia was exceeded by the thoughtfulness of Shellee as she thought of pretty much every need a guest might have while on the lake. From the most frequently used spices and condiments, to an extra fan, to insect repellant, she has anticipated it all!

We had a wonderful time. House was clean and fully stocked. The lake was magnificent. Beds were comfortable and plenty of them for my large family. Lots of outdoor space to relax and enjoy the view. Great trip overall!

We loved that the cabin was directly on the lake. The dock was a mere 20 steps from the porch. The kids played on the dock and in the water all day. We loved the fact that there was steps from the dock into the water. The cottage itself was great. Although compact, there was plenty of room. The outside fireplace, hammock, and table were some of our favorite area at the rental. The décor is complete nostalgia for anyone over 40!!!! We enjoyed our stay and ready to comeback another time. Great deal!!!!

A quiet beautiful view from the porch. A cute little cottage to get away from everything! We took our Harley trike and it was a very nice area to ride! One day we put on 185 miles just checking out the area. The owners were very helpful with anything we needed.

If I could give this property and the manager 10 stars - I would! The communication was fantastic! I love having a rental owner who lives close. The cabin was exactly as expected - if not better! The loft space is adorable - even though we didn't use it. Both beds downstairs were very comfortable. The kitchen was perfect! So much bigger and better stocked than we could have ever imagined - being that it is far away from a grocery store it was so fun to cook our meals in the kitchen and eat on the covered porch. I loved the outdoor shower and fireplace and when we needed some firewood - the owners brought some right over to us. It was quiet, in a great location to restaurants and marinas. The lake was beautiful and we could not have asked for better accommodations! This was our first time to Lake Martin and we will definitely be back and will probably stay in the 70s Kottage again! Thank you Shellee for a great stay in your awesome cabin!

I booked the place for my 30th based on the cuteness of 70s theme which is how I decorate. Communication was 10/10! Shellee responded quickly to me any time I had a question. The house was ADORABLE & SO clean! The kitchen had tons of cooking utensils. The beds were super comfyyy as well. The back deck was big, perfect for dancing & being together. The dock was large & great to lounge on. The yard is full of gorgeous plants. The owners live next door which can be nerve racking sometimes but they introduced themselves & were very friendly! They took us out on their boat Sunday & it was a blast!! They went over & beyond with their hospitality! This will def be my spot to stay every summer now. Thankyou so much Shellee & Jared! You guys are the best!

This home was just what the doctor ordered if you're looking for a getaway to have fun on the water, grill, enjoy a sunset, time on the dock or coffee and sunrise. Lots of thought went into making this cozy cottage have everything you'll need during your stay. The owners were accommodating and had great communications with us. It was easier to access than I originally thought from looking at google.

Our family and friends had a great time staying at #that70skottage. The vintage flair of the 70s was very inviting and unique. The large back porch was a great hang out place. A short walk to the dock that had steps leading into the water. We enjoyed the use of the outdoor shower after boat riding all day. The bedrooms were decorated very cute and the beds were comfortable. The overall cleanliness of the unit was impressive. The stay was definitely one for the books! My family had a great time and very little complaints. We were nervous to crank down the A/C during the day and it took alot to cool off the property at night. The location of the jack and Jill bathrooms was a bit inconvenient since there was no other bathroom for the 4 kids we had with us. We made it work though. We spent majority of our time on the water and back porch taking in the view. I would recommend the Owner install a TV outside on the back porch for those upcoming late night football games ;)

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Kottage and will DEFINITELY be back. From the wide open views, to the perfect swimming area, kids loft, and they provided everything we needed and then some. Flat lot, grassy, and wide open views. Chuck's marina is right around the corner for the most amazing pizza, drinks, and live music. AND we got to boat right up. It was an awesome find for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for a weekend OR a longer stay at Lake Martin. You won't be disappointed.
