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!

Great outdoor and indoor spaces for groups.

This home sits on a point and has a beautiful view from inside and out. The convenience of the dock being a step out the door was wonderful. There is a boat ramp that was great access for my more timid child to wade into the water while the others jumped off the dock. I also love that there is water on both sides of the house so fishing could happen without worry of hooks in little feet. There is tons of seating in the den that has a view of the tv. It's great for putting the kids to watch a nighttime movie while the adults are just outside the door. It would also be ideal for watching football in the fall.

Wonderful lake house

This is a wonderful lake house for our grown kids and spouses to celebrate my husband's birthday. We hope to return soon when everyone's schedules clear at the same time again. The outdoor space, which is what is important to us, is amazing. The swim area, quiet slough, kayak, water pad, paddle board and decks were well used by our group. We had absolutely beautiful weather and it is where we spend the majority of our trip. Having three King beds and two queen beds (plus many more) was perfect for our group of 8 adults. The kitchen was well stocked as was the games. The living area, mostly windows looking at the lake, had the most seating I have ever seen....and the view- WOW! The leatherish couches were not my favorite but others in our group liked them and I enjoyed the other fabric couch and arm chairs. If you like to sit and watch TV (we turned it on one time in 4 days) they have you covered with a very large one. Our absolute favorite..... sitting on the lake front deck, in the Adirondack chairs, on the peninsula, watching the sunset and looking at the stars. We sat there drinking coffee in the morning too. You can see the fire tower from the front porch sitting also. If you are looking for a modern, minimally stocked rental- this is not for you. If you want a lake house that is stocked because the family actually uses it, where things are thought about for everyday functioning- book Sunset Peninsula.

Even better in Person!

We had awful weather- literally torrential rain and we still had the BEST TIME! Owner was always polite and available for the few issues we had ( related to weather). There were only four of us that stayed because my sister’s family of 13 had rented a house next door. I would love to come back again and fill up those beds with more family. There is so much common space that would be perfect for extra large families. Also, due to weather, we didn’t get to use all the great amenities that came with the house for going out on the water, but still managed lots of laughs and relaxing time.
