3-levels of sleeping and living! Not just places to crash but real space to enjoy (no need to pack them in here - it's a vacation)! Lots of ways to play in the lake and the yard slopes gently to the water for more space for games and hanging out. The front entrance has a full concrete driveway with plenty of parking space and as many as 6 vehicles can be in the garage and under carports. Relaxation in this quiet cove starts on one of the many leather couches yet you can drive for dining, boat rental, or supplies in just a few minutes if you want. And, of course, the water is calling for your best cannon ball off one of the docks! Even in the off season (lake level is down October-April) you can put the kayaks and canoe in the water (no boat/water at the docks). Please note our checkin (4:00 pm) and checkout (10:00 am) times, but we are happy to allow a bit more time if you request it, and we don't have a quick turn. We want to do everything feasible for you to have a fantastic time!

House is comfy and roomy. Very clean.
We enjoyed our stay. Nice setting. Quiet cul de sac. Great space for many people. The house was very clean. Kids enjoyed going out on the kayaks and canoe. Plenty of towels available. Lots of fun toys.!
We are very happy to hear that Lake Martin was a fun stay for you! And thanks for your feedback to help us keep the property top notch for others.
This house was beautiful. We especially enjoyed all the trees, providing a nice shade.
This house as well as the outside property was very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
We are very glad you enjoyed your stay. Lake Martin doesn’t disappoint!
Great house for multiple families
We stayed here with my parents, two siblings and their families; 8 adults and 6 kids total. This house was a great setup for us. There was plenty of room for everyone inside and outside. The kids loved using the paddles boards and kayaks available.
We had a fantastic time here and would definitely recommend.
We especially love to hear about the kids enjoying the water toys. For us, it means we can just supervise from the dock while they wear themselves out! So glad your stay was a success, and thanks for taking the time to post your review.
What a beautiful place for our family to gather! Plenty of room, neat, clean and well supplied.
Our family had a great time at this beautiful home! Open, lots of space, comfortable furniture and great beds! We had everything we needed and Jim was available for any questions we had. Very approachable and easy to contact. Our first visit to Alabama was wonderful, family time- just like home!
Cordially,

Great Rental
Great well appointed house on a nice section of lake. We had a large group and it was PLENTY of room for all of us. We really enjoyed ourselves. The owner couldn’t have been any more accommodating or easy to contact,
Very glad that you had a good time, and thanks for being so easy to work with!
Facilities are very nice. Plenty of room. A quiet location. We would certainly rent it again.
We had a crew that really enjoyed the water and the accommodations. Jim and his family provided everything we needed. They are highly recommended and were able to meet our needs. His rates are very affordable. You will not be disappointed.
As with any vacation you tend to bring too much food period and extra refrigerator in the garage or downstairs would have been a great bonus seeing the number of people that we had with us. there were plenty of parking spaces plenty of towels and linens. I would rank this facility as a 5 on a scale of 5.
You have a very good observation regarding refrigerator/freezer space. We have considered adding a fullsize in the lower level kitchenette and that may become a priority. I must confess we anxiously await hearing about the experiences in the lake house and are very glad that you all enjoyed your time!

We have a great setup to play, cook and eat in, but within 10 minutes you can rent water sports, choose from several local eateries, and pick up groceries or household items.
