Lakeside Cottage with dock. Dog Friendly. Close to boat ramp
Charming Lake Martin Cottage – Jackson’s Gap, Alabama
Escape to the lake in this adorable 1-bedroom cottage located directly on Lake Martin in Jackson’s Gap, Alabama. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, a weekend on the water, or a cozy place to unwind, this cottage offers the perfect setting to slow down and enjoy lake life.
Spend your evenings on the deck watching breathtaking Lake Martin sunsets while dinner cooks on the charcoal grill. Afterward, gather around the private fire pit and roast marshmallows under the stars. The private dock provides the perfect spot to relax by the water, fish, swim during the summer months, or bring your own boat.
🛏️ Comfortable Sleeping & Living Space
The cottage features a comfortable king-size bed, TV, and dedicated work space in the bedroom. The living room offers additional sleeping accommodations with a queen-size sleeper sofa, making the cottage a great option for couples or small families.
🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchen
The kitchen is fully stocked with the essentials you’ll need during your stay and includes both a Keurig and traditional drip coffee maker — because lake mornings are better with coffee! A washer and dryer are conveniently located inside the unit for your use.
🚤 Private Dock & Lake Access
Enjoy your own private dock, perfect for tying up your boat, fishing, relaxing, or spending time on the water.
During summer pool season (April–October), the lake is at full water levels, providing excellent access for swimming, boating, fishing, and enjoying the dock. Reach out to Lake Life Living & Rentals if you are interested in adding a boat to your reservation. We will arrange for it to be delivered right to the dock for your convenience.
Please note: From November through March, Lake Martin water levels are lowered as part of Alabama Power's seasonal conservation program. During these winter months, boats cannot access the private dock. Boats can still be launched from public boat ramps throughout the year, but they must be removed from the lake each day.
Kayaks can be carried into the water and enjoyed year-round, making it possible to experience the lake even during the winter months.

Cottage accommodations were in great order. Host was attentive and available. Plenty of parking, quiet neighborhood, convenient location. No regrets on this rental.
Such a sweet wonderful space on beautiful Lake Martin. Very clean and comfortable with thoughtful touches such as charging stations with multiple USB ports. Convenient parking and super close distance to our boat storage and launch.
Great weekend at the lake! Everything was exactly like the listing. The hosts communicated clearly and responded to any questions quickly. Clean property with a private dock close to the house. Highly recommend it!
A cute cottage just the right size for the two of us and our two dogs. A very peaceful and quiet area on the lake with a good size dock for our boat. Justine was friendly and welcoming. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Really nice area, owners were very responsive and attentive. Lemonade Cottage was exactly as advertised, will definitely stay there again given the opportunity.
We had the best time staying at this house. We have stayed here a few times it’s cozy and clean! Having a boat slip makes it’s so convenient to slip in the boat and take it out. Can’t wait to come back!
This place was perfect for a relaxing getaway! We brought our Pontoon boat and explored the beautiful lake. We spent most of our time docked at the beautiful beaches off the islands on the lake swimming. Night time we sat down off the dock and listened to frogs and watched the stars. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay. The property had everything we needed and was very clean. We can not wait to book our next trip there!
We came from Tulsa OK
For my husband's son's wedding at New Water Farm. The venue was amazing
The lemonade cottage was perfect and convenient to every thing we had to do
Our dog Oscar loved it there too.
We celebrated our 27 anniversary at Lemonaide Cottage and I can't imagine a more perfect trip. It was so cute with a dock for our boat. It was quiet and we enjoyed sitting outside watching the resident duck family. We explored different islands and locations on lake Martin everday. The sunsets were spectacular from our boat.
The bed was so comfy with very soft sheets. Our greyhounds enjoyed the trip and lake. The cottage was perfect for them as well.
I would give our hosts 10 stars if possible! They are fabulous. They are very responsive and made every aspect of our trip perfect. Even after our trip they were amazing. I left my wedding set and messaged Justine. She went to the cottage and found them. We will absolutely be staying again very soon.
