**Enjoy feeding our pet turtles and catfish at the waters edge with fish food available for hours of entertainment for the kids and adults!!** (PLEASE DO NOT FISH FOR OR CATCH TURTLES, CATFISH, AND BREAM), over the years we have created a culture of trust that when these turtles, catfish, and bream see a person coming to the pier, they assume we are there to feed them, not catch them. BUT, there are plenty of bass at the end of the pier for bass fishermen.

Awesome location. The perfect rustic getaway. The host is the best we've had through VRBO so far, and we've stayed at multiple places on Martin. We will definitely book again.
This lake cabin was the cutest! It was so clean and had everything we needed and more! The ecosystem was one of my favorite parts! The owners went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of! Highly recommend .. with or without kids.
stayed over the AU v GA football weekend and had a great time! The cabin was perfect for what we needed and only about 40 minutes from the stadium. Beautiful view of the lake and very relaxing, feeding the turtles and catfish was a trip! Will definitely look into staying again on our next ballgame weekend.
Very nice, exactly as advertised. The owner was communicative, friendly, and very attentive. This cabin has lots of amenities and was clean, well equipped, and exactly as described. Highly recommended.
We had a great time. Home was very clean, well maintained and stocked. We loved having a boat, kayaks, lily pad and canoe available for use. The wildlife was great to watch and interact with. It is a beautiful cove and it was very peaceful and relaxing! Also, neighbors were great!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Pleasure Point! Very cozy cabin in a great location. We rented a pontoon boat from John, the host. The kids even skied behind it. Highly recommend the cabin, the boat, and the host! Rent or bring a boat & get out and really enjoy beautiful Lake Martin! We plan to return many times.
This cottage was perfect for our family. We enjoyed spending time on the screened in porch when we were not out on the lake with the boat we rented from Mr.Johnny. The host was very thorough and has thought of everything.
Our family and friends’ family really enjoyed our peaceful stay for a weekend in July. We spent most of the time outdoors and really enjoyed the complimentary Lilly pad, canoe, and kayaks. Communication with John was supreme. He also allowed us an early check in, which was a plus for us traveling from Florida with two 3 year olds! We’d love to return next year, but will have to wait until our next bundle of joy turns 3! The only complaint we had was the door handles being so close to the latches. They were very difficult to turn without resulting in knuckle injuries. Lastly, we respect and fully agree with the notion of outdoor cameras, but did not see that noted in the VRBO profile.
Thanks again John for a great weekend vacation spot right on the lake!
Host was great - very responsive and detailed on how to check in. The house was perfect - cozy and host left us with a lot of things to use during our stay (bottled water, kayaks, floats, etc). Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience!
We had the absolute best weekend at this lovely cabin. It was cozy and clean and had everything we needed! We loved eating on the porch. The owner was super easy to connect with and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!!
Me and my family really enjoyed the stay , there was food to feed the fish , house full of pots, pans and utensils to cook with. The Cabin looks just like the pictures but as for the feel that you get being at the cabin you can’t beat that it felt like you were inside a book. the screened in porch was definitely a hit for our group and being able to have the ability to have a fire and roast marshmallows was amazing for us. Already talking about going again soon !!!
We had a great time at your Vrbo. We enjoyed the large kitchen, dining room, living room area! The toy room, toys & books we a hit with the grand kids. The fire pit area was awesome! What would have been better for us, with my husbands sore knee would have been a main floor bedroom & main floor full bath. We thought the access to the lake was a little steep for our pontoon . We were able to enjoy surrounding lakes that were close by tho.
The house, porch and property were very clean. The host anticipated everything that a guest would need and had it ready for us including shampoo / toiletries, fire-starter bricks, a refrigerator filled with ice cold bottled water and sun screen. Any information that we needed was clearly communicated both inside the lake house and electronically. The lake house was charming and beautifully designed. I felt like I stepped back in time to a rustic (but posh) summer cabin on a lake. I loved the shaded property, feeding the turtles, the party lights and the screened doors.
Beautiful cove. House was clean and very eqipped for guests. We opted to rent their boat. All enjoyed. Feeding fish, ducks and turtles from pier was fun for all.
We enjoyed our stay here so much. It was just perfect. The owner was so attentive and responsive. House was very cute and clean and had everything you could ever think of. We also loved feeding the fish and turtles every morning. Would definitely stay here again!
Home is better than described. Host was super helpful and generous - probably the best communicator in all my years renting on vrbo. I give this a five star review!
Our family had a fantastic time at Johnny's cabin on the lake. Everything about the experience was great. Johnny is very responsive and helped throughout our stay with anything we needed. Also, he has a boat you can rent, which makes it so easy and convenient to spend some time boating around the lake. We will definitely be back!
We had a restful stay! Wonderful outdoor space to enjoy the fresh air and view! Our favorite spot was sitting at the pier and feeding the turtles and fish! Just so relaxing. Place was spotless and inviting! Johnny was an excellent and very thoughtful host! Highly recommend this stay!
Cabin was very clean, cozy and well equipped. We enjoyed boating and spending time on the dock. The fire-pit was nice in the evening and gas grill was a plus! I can’t say enough nice things about John, the host! He was very attentive and had lots of restaurant and shopping recommendations. We can’t wait to go back!
