Summer’s Getaway on Lay Lake
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Summer’s Getaway on Lay Lake is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation home on Lay Lake in Clanton, Alabama. It’s positioned as an easy lake-access base for weekend stays and time on the water, with room to tie up a boat at the house. The property is smoke-free and has a strong public rating of 5/5 based on 16 reviews.
Layout & in-home comforts
Both bedrooms and the bathroom are located upstairs, an important consideration for guests who prefer single-level layouts. In-home amenities include air conditioning, a full kitchen, and cable TV for downtime between lake activities. Reviews frequently highlight cleanliness and comfortable beds, along with the home being equipped with most essentials.
Outdoor & boat access
For cooking outside, the home has both a gas grill and a charcoal grill; guests should plan to bring their own propane and charcoal. It’s close to a public boat launch, and the property allows space to secure a boat at the house. Trailer handling requires care: the driveway can be tight, there’s no good turnaround if you pass the home, and experienced backing is recommended.
Location & what’s nearby
The home is about 20 minutes from Interstate 65, but the final mile is on a dirt road; Apple Maps is noted as leading directly to the house. Nearby dining in the broader Clanton area includes Hickory Chip (about 12.2 km away) plus options like Bones Backstreet BBQ Jemison, Shoney’s, and Valle Grande Mexican Grill of Clanton (roughly 16–19 km away). Regional air access includes Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (~68.2 km) and Montgomery Regional Airport (~76.8 km).
Best for
This lake house suits anglers and boating-focused travelers who want quick access to Lay Lake, a nearby public boat launch, and space to tie up a boat at the property. It also fits couples or small groups seeking a clean, well-equipped weekend getaway with a kitchen, air conditioning, and cable TV.
Travel tips
Plan your arrival knowing the last mile is a dirt road; Apple Maps is specifically noted as routing correctly to the house. If bringing a boat and trailer, arrive with enough daylight to maneuver—there’s no convenient turnaround past the home, and backing down the tight driveway is recommended for experienced trailer drivers. For grilling, pack your own propane or charcoal, as fuel isn’t provided.
