Lake Martin Cottage, Sunset Views, Private Dock, Waterfront, Blue Creek Sleeps 6

Blue Creek Retreat | A Curated Lake Martin Escape

Tucked along the quiet waters of Lake Martin, Blue Creek Retreat is a thoughtfully designed waterfront escape where slow mornings and golden sunsets set the pace.

Every detail has been curated for comfort and connection—from the soft, inviting interiors to the private dock just steps away. Spend your days on the water, floating in the calm cove, or enjoying the stillness that makes this setting feel like a true retreat.

Layout & Living Spaces:
The home is thoughtfully designed across two levels. The primary bedroom is located within the main home, while the second bedroom is a private, separate-entry space on the lower level—accessed just outside. This layout offers added privacy and works especially well for teens or additional guests.

Inside, you’ll find a warm, elevated space that blends relaxed lake living with boutique charm—perfect for gathering, unwinding, and making memories that linger long after you leave.

The experience:
• Private dock for swimming, boating & sunset views
• Peaceful slough with calm, glassy water
• Comfortably sleeps 6 (2 bedrooms + daybed with trundle)
• Fully equipped kitchen + cozy, styled living spaces
• A short drive to Auburn for game days and dining

Whether you’re here for an Auburn weekend, a family getaway, or a quiet reset by the water—Blue Creek Retreat offers a stay that feels both effortless and unforgettable.

Amazing property located in a great area. Easy access to the marina if you need a boat rental, and easy access to restaurants by water or car. Van and Melissa are amazing hosts that have thought of everything. This was a great 4 day weekend stay and we will be back.

Fantastic Spot on Lake Marin

This property on Lake Martin is perfect. I cannot think of anything that could’ve been done by the owners to make it better. It lacked for nothing. It was as described, and exceeded our expectations in every way. As an example, the boat dock had not only pre-installed bumpers and tiedown cleats, but also included bungee/elastic lines so that we were able to simply pull up to the dock and tie off without having to use any of our own spring lines. That is but one example of the owners going the extra mile. Without question, we will be back to this property.

Cute little place 40 min from Auburn

We used this as our home base for an Auburn soccer camp. Pictures are accurate, but make it look bigger than it is, but still did well for the 4 of us. One of the 2 bedrooms is outside and below, but has it's own bath and patio, our teenage son loved it, but if you had little kids this definitely wouldn't be ideal. Just more of a so you know. Place was clean, owners were friendly, and it was a nice getaway. I would caution anyone wanting to get into the water there are 4 - 5 steps leading into the lake. The top 2 are dry and ok, but the bottom 3 steps are covered in algae and ridiculously slippery and impossible to use. Our daughter got hurt and there's no hand rail to help with these dangerous steps. It would be better if they just weren't there.

Property not as listed

The only reason I’m giving this property three stars and not five is because it’s listed as three bedrooms. There are NOT three bedrooms. There are only two bedrooms. The master is upstairs in a nicely renovated detached garage type apartment with carport underneath. The main house is down closer to the lake and this is where the owners stay, Even though the garage apartment has been very nicely renovated there is only one bedroom with a nicely stocked kitchen and bathroom. They have a twin trundle outside the master bedroom next to the bathroom but it is in the main living area with no privacy whatsoever. The second bedroom is down the outside stairs and through a little enclosed porch. It is very small and not with the main living area. You have to walk outside and down the stairs which was a bit inconvenient when it was raining and needed to go down to that room. I would not suggest having two families stay here but a small family of four would be fine. The owner was very responsive to our needs and this place is great to stay at as long as you are aware of the accommodations. The location is great and has a beautiful view of the lake from the upstairs bedroom. I wish before I booked I would’ve inquired more about the property so that’s on me. We actually left a day early because it was a bit uncomfortable for the 6 of us.

Such a cute little cabin!

Loved the decor and it was very neat and clean. Sweet note with goodies awaiting our arrival. The upstairs was small but cozy. The master bedroom and bathroom was outside and downstairs with its own door with key. It wasn’t actually part of the upstairs area. It was an adorable little private area. There is a small dock where you can have a boat. Great location on lake! We enjoyed our stay with friends and had a wonderful time.

Amazing, relaxing stay at the beautiful Lake Martin. Host was incredibly welcoming and gave us great information. It’s a must to rent a boat and see the sights on the lake (Goat Island, Chimney Rock, Acapulco Rock and all the gorgeous homes). Excellent restaurants in the area to travel to by land or at sea. Sunsets are breathtaking. This little gem is a great getaway!

Not as described

Unfortunately this is not a house as described. This is two separated rooms (not connected), one above the other that was simply a garage converted. We expected this to simply have a common sitting area; it does not have this nor a kitchen. They provide two chairs outside to sit at. Be prepared to be outside the entire time if you choose this location.

About the host

Hosted by Vance Anthony

Host profile image
We’re so glad you’re here! As Auburn natives and small business owners, we’ve built our lives around hard work, family, and a deep love for the beautiful Lake Martin area.

When we’re not working or tending to our cattle, you’ll usually find us enjoying the outdoors, traveling, or spending time with our children and grandchildren.

We love great food, quaint restaurants, live music, antiquing, and all things nature—from hiking and yoga to lake days and peaceful evenings by the water. Hosting allows us to connect with wonderful people from all over while sharing a place that is truly special to us.

Our goal is simple: to provide you with a relaxing, memorable stay and make you feel completely at home at Blue Creek Retreat.

Why they chose this property

Blue Creek Retreat is nestled in the heart of beautiful Lake Martin, offering the perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure and relaxation. You’ll find fantastic local restaurants, scenic hiking trails and endless opportunities for lake activities just minutes away. One of our favorite spots The Landing at Harbor Point is located just across the water from us making it a perfect stop for a meal or dinner drink by boat. From the glistening water to the breathtaking sunsets, the peaceful surroundings and picturesque landscape create a truly serene escape. Whether you’re boating across the lake, exploring nearby trails, or enjoying quiet moments by the dock, Blue Creek Retreat is the perfect place to unwind, recharge and reconnect.

What makes this property unique

Blue Creek Retreat offers the rare blend of peaceful seclusion and convenient access—tucked away in a quiet slough on beautiful Lake Martin, yet just 20 miles from the heart of Auburn and all its game-day excitement. It’s the perfect mix of lakeside serenity and college-town charm. Unlike many lake rentals, our guesthouse includes a private dock, giving you your own space to swim, fish, relax, or tie up your boat. From sipping coffee on the screened porch to watching breathtaking sunsets reflect across the water, every detail is designed for comfort and calm. The two-level layout offers privacy and space for families or couples traveling together. Thoughtful touches like a fully stocked kitchen, cozy sitting areas, and comfortable bedding help make it feel like a true home away from home. And what truly sets us apart? We’re local hosts who genuinely care. With deep roots in the Auburn area and a love for hospitality, we’ve created a place we’re proud to share—where guests feel welcome, memories are made, and every stay is something special.
