Note: there is a gradual decline from the parking spot to the front of the house and there is a stone pathway that is uneven in some places due to natural stone. We do not recommend renting if you have difficulty walking as this is an old cabin that has been renovated and we strive to keep the natural charm and feel via unique landscaping. Additionally there are 2 steps in to front door and about 10 steps from back porch to the boat dock. Please do not rent if you have trouble walking up or down 1-10 steps.

Note: Boat is not included. Covered boat slip is also not available for use; however, boats can be tied to the dock from two points for any docking needs.

Note: Boats in photos & on property not included in rental but you are welcome to bring your own & tie at the dock. Enjoy the big water view on this cabin which is located on the beautiful Lake Martin, Alabama.

Note: only two parking spaces available. Additional parking available in grassy area available on first come first serve basis, as that area is shared with the community and is park at your own risk. Public boat ramp and public boat and trailer parking is available first come first serve nearby (approximately 10-15 minutes away).

Note: water levels are lowered in the fall and winter by Alabama Power via the Lake Martin Dam. The full pool level during the warm months at Lake Martin is 491 mean sea level (msl) and then starts to decline beginning September 1st. Sometimes, changes will keep the high summer of 491 msl for up to an additional six weeks longer, extending full pool into October. Please visit lakeMartin.com for water level information.

Great View - Well Appointed

Great Property! Great Host! This place has everything you need. Lovely decor, interesting art, and A+++ Kitchen! Comfortable Beds and pillows galore! We really enjoyed the wonderfully deep bathtub and HOT HOT water. 3 stars on cleaning because the couches were badly stained and the thick spider webs on the outside of the windows. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location!

My husband and I spent three nights here celebrating our anniversary. We were looking for a quiet getaway on Lake Martin and this suited us perfectly. The big water access close to Kowaliga can’t be beat. The artwork and cottage charm are precious.

Best View on the Lake

Stayed in John's house for 5 days alone just to totally unplug. Its an adorable, cozy and yet updated cabin with an extraordinary view of the lake. Been coming to Lake Martin since 1982 and the location by land and water is ideally convenient to everything you'd want to do. Will rent again!

Oh What A View

We stayed at Big Water View from June 26 - June 29, 2024. The lake house was very clean and had all the amenities anyone would need for their stay. The view from the back deck was the highlight of the stay. We spent much of our time on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and eating lunches and dinners. It was perfect to simply stare out at the lake and take your mind off of everything. The owner did a great job of communicating and was more than accommodating when we decided to add an additional day. This is a great lake house to spend a weekend or a week. We highly recommend this property.

Disliked: Location

So so

House was clean inside but we had problems with the door locking when we would leave. Also shower in master bath would leak water onto hardwood floors. It looked liked the glass partition had never been sealed on bottom. Exterior of house had cobwebs in corners and very unsafe slag rock to walk from car to house at uneven angles. Not ideal for older(65+)

About the host

Why they chose this property

This is our family lake cabin. Our Mother always dreamed of owning a lake cabin. We bought the home in 2015 and in 2017 started renovations. Only a few short months after starting renovations, my Mom was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. The way the cabin sits today was her dream. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
