We really like this place. The dock was great for our boat and for fishing right off of it. Very pet friendly. We stayed here last year at the same time and felt like it had not been maintained quite as well this year.

The place was so peaceful and sitting on the back porch with the lake view was beautiful. A lot of space in every room. Well furnished. Fished, caught multiple pan fish and 10 lb catfish couple catfish got away. Gass grill ready for use and fire pit was ready for night relaxation. Highly recommend would stay here every time we visit this area. Had place to park our fishing boat and trailer right down the street very easy and convenient, didn't end up using boat, was able to fish right off pier with family. Water is low on the lake but still caught fish.

The property was nice, clean, spacious, and has a beautiful view of the lake/cove. There is enough room for everyone to relax, hangout, socialize, or escape. You can fish from the dock, or dock your own boat. The covered and enclosed porch is a nice place to sit during the pop up rain showers.Most of all, it is incredibly peaceful.

Spring Break at Big Mama's on Lake Marion

It's an older home, but well updated. It exceeded our expectations. It was very well stocked with dishes, utensils, towels and other supplies. We were pleasantly surprised that the check-out instructions told us there was no need to handle the trash, dirty dishes and laundry.

Relaxing Family Vacation

Big Mama's Cottage provided everything we needed for our relaxing family vacation! We enjoyed the spacious setting with plenty of room for the 10 of us to spread out. The property was so beautiful and in a very quiet neighborhood. We had so much fun fishing and swimming. Watching the wildlife was especially entertaining! Memories we made to last a lifetime. We would gladly stay at Big Mama's again the next time we are able to visit! Thank you to JamieSue and Hugh for making this rental available and for your being so accommodating!

The house is stocked great in the bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked on silverware and dishes. Not so much pots and pans and for someone who loves to cook that was a problem for me. Overall if we were to come back to this lake we’d probably book here again and I’d just bring my own pots and pans

Nice place to stay. Disappointed our little ones couldn’t get in the water because of an alligator hanging out at the dock, it would have been a nice place to swim.
