About this property

Boathouse. Dog Friendly. Sleeps 4. Big Views. Kayak. Paddleboat. Dock. Boat Ramp

The Boathouse is a perfect getaway on Lake Martin. Don’t let the size of this 1 bedroom 1 bathroom cabin fool you. It has everything you need for a memorable trip. The bedroom has a king bed with luxury linens. The cozy family room has a sleeper sofa. The Boathouse can sleep 4 comfortably. The kitchen has all the favorite amenities. The dining room overlooks the lake. The covered porch is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a sunset. Park your boat at the big dock or take the paddleboat or kayaks out and explore the lake. There is also a boat ramp, and room to park your boat trailer. If you dont have a boat and want to explore Lake Martin, please reachout to Lake Life Living & Rentals about renting a boat or jetski and having it delivered right to the dock.
The Boathouse is a perfect couples getaway, fishermans retreat or small families destination. Guests love staying at this cute little house on the lake.

The Boathouse is the guest house to a bigger home. Guest have access to the yard, dock, paddleboat and boat ramp. The owner is never home, and will never bother you.

Great Stay

Had a great time staying here. House is tucked back in a cove and was nice and quiet and away from major boat traffic. Close to restaurants and stores. Also had the chance to meet the homeowners, they are very friendly and accommodating making sure our stay was great

Great Weekend getaway

I recently stayed at this wonderful lakefront home with my son, and it was absolutely perfect. Communication with the host was seamless—clear, friendly, and responsive from start to finish. The location couldn’t have been better—peaceful, beautiful views, and right on the water. The place was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We made some great memories here and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

Weekend away with our Auburn student

We had a beautiful weekend on the lake with our son. It’s a small cottage with beautiful front porch. Owner lives next door and allows you to use dock and paddle boats. Grill came in handy. No dishwasher but for three people not a big deal to wash dishes. Bring your own lake towels. Plenty of space to park two vehicles. Highly recommend!
