Gorgeous Newly Reimagined Lake Martin Home Within Steps of the Water

Find your bliss at this exquisitely renovated 2700SF, 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 3-story lakeside retreat within a 16-step stroll of beautiful Lake Martin’s shoreline! In keeping with true cottage tradition, it has been named RSVP Tous – which translates in “Lake Martinese” to Relax, Swim, Vacation, Play Together! Ideal for gatherings of friends and family, this stunning home boasts modern farmhouse design influences, five inviting indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and room enough to sleep up to 12 guests. From the terrace-level open concept that unites the kitchen and family room to the sweeping two-tier back porch overlooking the water, this home is cleverly crafted for memory making and together time.

Marking the heart of the home, the kitchen is beautifully framed in white cabinets and granite countertops. Equipped with everything you need, it features stainless steel appliances, including a party capacity ice machine that produces up to 25 pounds of ice per day – ideal for filling up the cooler for a boat ride and picnic on the lake. The adjoining family room is surrounded by windows and bathed in natural light with plenty of cozy seating and board games. This floor also boasts a full bathroom for showering off after a dip in the lake.

To ensure a balance of much-needed me time, the three bedrooms on the second floor all feature king-size beds, flat-screen TVs and private baths. This level also supplies a utility room for washing and drying those beach towels in between lake adventures. A spacious fourth bedroom on the newly added third floor boasts a bonus room – offering the most awe-inspiring views of the lake. The neighboring “bunk room” features four twin beds, a double futon and a full bathroom – making it the perfect spot for accompanying teens or kids.

A private backyard pier over the water is perfect for casting a line, docking small watercraft or dipping your toes in the lake. Steps on the side offer easy entry for a swim or paddleboarding. Soak up some sun on the large back porch or cozy up by the outdoor hearth under the covered breezeway that extends from the front to the rear of the home. The flatscreen above the stone fireplace makes this a wonderful spot for game days or reality TV binge-watching. If you have a boat, be sure to load it on the trailer and bring it. You’ll have access to a private boat launch.

When the crew wants to venture out, there are a number of great restaurants, boutiques, marinas, hiking trails and even a CASINO within a short drive of the cottage. Enjoy cold craft beers paired with chef-inspired dishes at The Landing at Parker Creek, extraordinary ambiance and Sunday buffet at Spring House, stunning lakeside views and Southern comfort food at Kowaliga, or margaritas and traditional Mexican fare at El Grande Rodeo – just to name a few. Tackle the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail or Smith Mountain Fire Tower Trails, try your luck at Wetumpka’s Wind Creek Casino, practice your aim at Lake Martin Machine Gun or head to Alexander City for an afternoon of dining and shopping. Nearby Russell Real Island Marina and Russell Kowaliga Marina offer boats for rent along with tubes, boards, skis and accessories for a fun day on the lake. Southern Boat Rentals also offers jet skis for rent.
