Memories at Sunset Peninsula

Wonderful place to enjoy the water and beautiful views in a serene quiet setting. It is near town which makes it easy to get provisions and grab something to eat. The property is level with no steps and directly on the water. The owners are very accommodating. Our next year’s visit is already booked!

Perfect Family Getaway

This was the perfect place for our family. The space the house provides in the living area was outstanding. The views were spectacular. The outside water toys were a hit with EVERYONE. We took 2 boats with us and had ample dock space for two. Host was fantastic to work with, The entire family has said “this is our new spot for our annual family LM trip”. The grands said “this IS the new Waterhouse”.

Sunset Peninsula Is Consistently Great

Our family has gathered at Sunset Peninsula for four summer vacations. The owners and their property are consistently great. We love the large gathering spaces (inside and outside), fabulous lake access and views, and well equipped home. Vacationing there is relaxing, fun, and easy!

Perfect Vaca Spot

This house is the perfect vacation place for family. Lots of comfy space inside and out. The living area is beyond fabulous - with 2 enormous sitting areas. Very child/baby friendly- so many things at the house that saves guest from having to pack. All if outside things was awesome also- kayaks, paddle board, large mat to float on. We will definitely be returning! Matt is very responsive and super nice.

Fantastic!!

Our family of grown kids & grands had a great stay the week of the 4th. Matt was immediately responsive & helpful, plenty of seating, views were incredible - the walls of windows made us feel like we were on a houseboat in the water. Definitely plan to return - didn't want to leave!

Fantastic lake house rental for a large family

This property is incredible! To start with, It was extremely clean. The open spaces inside the house and the enormous dock is great for a large group. The amenities were great as well. We had all the appliances and dishes we needed for a successful weekend. I can't wait to return to this property for future weekend getaways.

Perfect in every way!

I stayed in this wonderful lake home the week before my son’s wedding at New Water Farm, and for several days after as the family celebrations continued. The home was convenient to the venue and everything we needed for last minute supplies. Beautiful lake views and the sunsets are spectacular. The owners are so friendly and responsive. In short, nothing could have been better. Thank you!

Perfect

This was our first time to Lake Martin and it didn't disappoint. The house and location was perfect for our family get together of 6 adults and 4 kids. We brought our pontoon and was easily kept at the private dock. Lots of extra fun stuff..lilypads, paddle boards etc. It was awesome. Beds were nice and comfy. The only negative was that every dinner plate we got out to use, had stuck on food. Dishwasher must need replacing. So we washed Everything before using. Other than that, a perfect vacay!
