This is an awesome part of the lake with a marina on the opposite side serving ice cream for the kids. Couldn’t ask for a quieter cove with a great view.

Very nice!

We had a wonderful time at Bolton Cove and it was exactly as presented in the VRBO information. Our home was clean and well furnished with a lot of space for our family to enjoy. We would recommend this property for families! We did rent a pontoon through Real Island Marina and it was also very nice and enjoyed a beautiful day on the lake.

Awesome Relaxing Vacation

I have never wanted a lake house until this vacation. The sandy beach and kayak's provided a wonderful afternoon of our 7 year old daughter learning to kayak with her favorite uncle. The pool was a great place for the smaller grandchildren to splash and play. The onsite play group was a huge hit with ALL - kids and adults. The kitchen was fully equipped to create awesome meals. We spent a great amount of our week sitting on the deck, telling stories, laughing and relaxing. The ginormous bathtub in the master bedroom provide a in-door swimming pool for the grandkids and a relaxing, therapeutic moments for the tired grandmother. We will definitely return as the kids said, "This was the best!"

House 9 was ok

We rented all four houses on the property. Courtland was responsive and communicative. House nine was as described. Cortland addressed concerns about the property in a timely manner. There was a broken refrigerator/freezer in the pool house that was replaced within one day, air conditioners in other houses were not working well they were fixed within two days, other minor issues were addressed. Courtland reimbursed us for the boat,a day for the houses with broken a/c (not house 9), and error in the description of the number of bedrooms in one house. I would recommend house 9. We had other major issues with bats and mold in houses 10 and 12 that Courtland said he would address after we left. Overall, all of the houses need a thorough deep clean and attention to detail. Plants need to be clipped back so that they are not overgrown into the boardwalk areas, floor mats/rugs need to be placed on the floor in front of entry doors, particularly the side door where people have wet, sandy feet, as they enter the house. Overall, we felt the stay in house 9 was good. The outdoor areas included the dock, pool, pool house, concrete bulkhead, and beach were awesome. Despite the issues, we did enjoy the stay and if all issues could be resolved would recommend the entire resort. As an independent rental, house 9 was good.

Great Family Lake Vacation

Bolton Cove was an awesome place for our family— my husband and I, our adult kids/spouses and 2 grandsons ages 2 and 4. We played the entire time!! If we were not in the water on the boat tubing or skurfing, we were fishing the banks of Bolton Cove, swimming in the pool, or using the kayaks provided to explore the cove. So many little fish for our grandsons to catch. Our house was extremely spacious and beautiful. Well built with lots of extras. The floating boat dock was great. I loved the master bedroom and bathroom and the shower was awesome. Great laundry room. Thank you for a fantastic stay at Lake Martin!

Great stay. easy check in and rented the boat which made it nice not to have to get one from Marina. Boat was not exactly full when we got it which was strange with Smith marina being in site. Would stay there again if I wanted to be on that part of the Lake .

Fantastic stay

Absolutely loved this property. The house was so spacious with large rooms and high ceilings. The view was incredible. The beach and the kayaks were a big hit with my daughters and their friends. Being able to rent a boat at such a great price was also a plus. So convenient to a lot of places. Would definitely return.

Absolutely AUsome!

We stayed at Bolton Cove for our daughter’s graduation from Auburn and it, by far, exceeded our expectations! The pics don’t do it justice! Spacious, upgraded property with ALL the amenities at the back of a rather private cove! Owners were great to work with, responsive, and insured we had everything we needed. Can’t wait to stay there again!!
