Abigail's Lake Haven
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Abigail’s Lake Haven is a smoke-free 4-bedroom, 2-bath lake house in Alexander City on Lake Martin, set on an almost flat lot in a quieter slough just off a larger branch of water (away from the busy main channel). The home sleeps up to 10 and is positioned for lake views and sunset watching, with a large deck plus a sunroom overlooking the water. It’s also described as a good area for fishing tournaments.
Layout & sleeping arrangements
The primary bedroom sits just off the living room and includes a king bed, lake view, and an en-suite bathroom. Two guest bedrooms each have a queen bed and share a bathroom, while a playroom/bunk room near the kitchen is set up for kids with two sets of twin bunks. Family gear noted on-site includes a baby bed, highchair, playpen, and an additional fold-out twin bed stored in the closet.
Kitchen, laundry & in-home essentials
This is a self-catered stay with a full kitchen plus microwave and oven/stove, supported by heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. A washer is included for longer stays and lake days. Connectivity and entertainment amenities listed include free Wi‑Fi and cable TV.
Outdoor amenities & lake access
Outdoor spaces include a patio and an outdoor grill (gas grill noted), along with water access features such as an open jet ski port with three ports and a small covered boat slip suitable for a john boat or jet ski. Paddle boards, three kayaks, and life jackets are included for on-the-water recreation. Free parking supports larger groups and trailered gear, and house rules note exterior cameras in use and that the boat lift should not be used (power disconnected).

Best for
This home suits families and multi-generational groups who want a quiet Lake Martin setting with space to spread out, thanks to its 4-bedroom layout, large deck/sunroom, and flat lot. It’s also a strong fit for boating and water-sports trips, with kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, and jet ski/boat slip access. Travelers prioritizing a smoke-free, no-pets environment and a more secluded slough setting (away from the main channel) will also find it a match.
Travel tips
Plan for a car: the closest listed restaurants are about 5–6 km away, and the nearest major airports are about 80–90 km away. Lake levels can fluctuate seasonally and with rainfall; the Alabama Power Shoreline app is suggested for monitoring before and during your stay, and winter drawdown may begin around October 15 if applicable. House rules include quiet hours (10 pm–8 am), a minimum booking age of 25, and exterior cameras in use; boating guests should also note the boat lift is not available for use.
