Firefly Cottage – Lake Martin Vacation Rental | Sleeps 8 | Lake Access | Pond View| Pet Friendly

Welcome to Firefly Cottage, a beautifully built 2-bedroom, 2-bath lake-access vacation rental in Lake Martin’s sought-after Kowaliga area. Completed in 2023, this cozy yet modern retreat offers peaceful surroundings and convenient access to marinas, wedding venues, and local events—ideal for families, couples, or small groups.



Now managed by Rentals on Lake Martin, Firefly Cottage is new to our program but already well-loved by returning guests. This charming retreat has built a loyal following under previous management, and we’re proud to continue that tradition of comfort, care, and Southern hospitality.

This thoughtfully designed home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, with a queen bed in each bedroom, a bunk bed alcove, and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room. Inside, you’ll enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, a welcoming living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and TVs in every room, including Hulu with Disney+ and ESPN for streaming your favorite shows and games.

The covered back porch overlooks a quiet, professionally stocked 5-acre fishing pond—a great spot to relax with morning coffee or wind down in the evening. Fishing is allowed, and guests are welcome to keep what they catch. Please note that swimming in the pond is not permitted. Guests are welcome to bring their kayaks or paddleboards, or rent water gear from the nearby Adventure Center at Russell Crossroads—just minutes away.

Lake Martin access is just 150–200 yards away, with a shared community space that includes:

A boat ramp and staging area



12 boat slips (first come, first serve)



Multiple tie-off spots around a small peninsula



A fire pit, picnic tables, tire swing, and green space for outdoor fun



Firefly Cottage is also close to many Lake Martin favorites:

Church in the Pines – 5 miles



Kowaliga Marina & Restaurant – 5 miles



Eclectic Warehouse – 7.8 miles



Overlook Farms – 13.3 miles



Willow Point – 13 miles

** Pets are welcome at Firefly Cottage with a $175 pet fee. We’re happy to offer a space that includes your four-legged family members—just let us know when booking.

Whether you’re attending a wedding, enjoying a lake weekend, or heading to a football game, Firefly Cottage offers comfort, convenience, and that laid-back Lake Martin charm.

Don’t wait—Firefly Cottage books quickly for weekends, events, and holidays. Reserve your stay today!
