Fantastic stay and a place we would absolutely book again! The location is excellent, easy to get to, incredibly quiet and peaceful, and exactly the serene Lake Martin setting we wanted. By boat, multiple marinas are only minutes away, and there’s a marina about five minutes away by car. Alexander City is roughly 30 minutes away, with plenty of restaurants, groceries, and anything else you might need.The house is modern, updated, clean, comfortable, and very inviting. Comfortable beds, great A/C, seriously awesome ceiling fans, smart TVs throughout, a well-equipped kitchen, grill, plenty of outdoor seating, and a screened-in porch with its own TV.The waterfront is fantastic. The dock has plenty of room to fish, relax, or enjoy the view. We brought our boat, and the floating dock made getting on and off incredibly easy. The water is beautiful and almost clear, with the cool emerald-green tint Lake Martin is known for. Half the time, we just swam right there. The whole area feels peaceful and friendly. There’s also a fire pit and plenty of outdoor lighting at night.We had six adults plus a baby and never felt cramped. There was ample room for everyone. Pate was an excellent host. Always quick to respond, proactive, and helpful throughout our stay. They're total pros!Everything about our visit was beyond pleasant. Great house, great location, beautiful waterfront, and genuinely relaxing. You really can’t go wrong here. We’ll absolutely be back!
