3BR Lake Martin • Pool • Family Retreat
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
This 3-bedroom vacation rental sits near Lake Martin in Alabama, offering a private, whole-home retreat that sleeps up to 10 guests. It's designed for groups who want space to spread out together, with a screened porch, patio, and balcony for enjoying the lake-area setting at a relaxed pace. The property is pet-friendly and smoke-free, making it a flexible base for a range of travelers.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a patio area suited to entertaining or unwinding after a day on the water. The unit includes air conditioning and heating, a washer for longer stays, and free Wi-Fi and free parking. Note that past guests have reported the pool was unheated and the pool/hot tub area was unlit at night despite posted hours.
Kitchen & In-Unit Comforts
A full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave lets guests cook their own meals rather than dine out every night, complemented by cable TV, an ironing board, and kid-friendly touches throughout the home. The layout is built for multi-family or multi-generational groups who want to gather under one roof while still having room to spread out.
Location & Dining Nearby
The retreat is close to the marina, golf, and Lake Martin's water activities, with Prime Steakhouse less than a kilometer away and several other restaurants -- including Niffer's Place, Oskar's Cafe, and Twice Baked in Dadeville -- within a few kilometers. Montgomery Regional Airport and Columbus Airport are both roughly 73-86 km away, making this a drive-to lake destination rather than an airport-adjacent stay.
Best for
This property suits large families, multi-generational groups, or groups of friends traveling together, thanks to its 3 bedrooms, capacity for up to 10 guests, full kitchen, and outdoor living spaces like the patio and balcony. It's also a good fit for pet owners thanks to its pet-friendly policy, and for anyone planning a lake vacation centered on water activities, golf, and casual dining nearby.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive by car, as the nearest airports (Montgomery Regional and Columbus) are both over 70 km away, making this a drive-to lake getaway. Keep a flashlight or phone light handy if you plan to use the pool or hot tub after dark, since past guests noted the outdoor pool area lacked lighting at night. For dinner, Prime Steakhouse is less than a kilometer away, with several more restaurant options within a short drive in Dadeville and around the lake.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the spaciousness of this home, its private outdoor area for entertaining, the fully equipped kitchen, and its pet-friendly setup close to Lake Martin's attractions and water activities, with hosts described as friendly and responsive. Cleanliness and overall unit quality also drew positive comments. However, a recurring complaint centers on the pool not being heated as expected, and the pool and hot tub area having no lighting at night despite posted hours suggesting it should be usable until 10pm. These issues led at least one group to spend much of their trip elsewhere rather than using the property's own pool.
