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.
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

Great location for the Lake Martin Ultra Marathon! We needed a place that was close and pet friendly, and Firefly fit the bill! The house was super clean and welcoming, had everything we needed for the race weekend. Beds are super comfy, kitchen is well equipped, andwhile we didn’t get to spend much time down in the doc, it was nice to have a spot to sit. Our dog was super comfortable in the house (we brought his kennel) and was happy to have space to sniff around outside. Highly recommend, and would absolutely stay here again.
Nice home and community. Comfortable beds and furnishings for 5 adults, our 2yr old grandson and our dog. Very well stocked kitchen. We brought our boat over by water and had no issues getting a courtesy slip. We would rent again.
This was a family trip for us and we were the first guests in this home, looks like in an area of new builds, super cute. The place had everything we needed and Tiffany was very helpful. Loved being able to bring our dogs, too. Really no complaints.
