Abigail's Lake Haven by Lake Martin Vibe
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Abigail's Lake Haven is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation home on Lake Martin in Alabama, sleeping up to 10 guests on an almost flat lot just off a quiet branch of water tucked away from the main channel. The setting is prized for calm water and fishing tournaments, and the home is designed as a retreat from busy everyday life, with a large deck for entertaining and sunset views over the lake.
Rooms & Layout
The master bedroom sits just off the living room with a king bed, lake view, and en-suite bathroom, while two additional guest bedrooms with queen beds share a bath on the opposite side of the living area. A dedicated playroom/bunk room next to the kitchen has two sets of twin bunks, a large TV, a foosball table, and bean bag chairs, plus a closet stocked with a crib, highchair, playpen, and a fold-out twin bed for younger travelers.
Amenities & Recreation
The home is equipped with a full kitchen (oven, stove, microwave), free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, a washer, and an outdoor grill for lakeside cookouts on the patio. A standout sunroom overlooking the lake includes a second dining table, a Keurig coffee bar, and glider chairs, and outdoor gear includes an open jet ski port with three slips, paddle boards, three kayaks, life jackets, and a small covered boat slip for a john boat or jet ski.
Dining & Nearby
Several restaurants sit within roughly 5.5 to 12.8 km, including The Camellia Cafe, Miller's on Broadnax, and Bob's Fine Food & BBQ around 5.5-5.6 km away, plus Prime Steakhouse, Niffer's Place Lake Martin, and Lake Martin Pizza Co. a bit further out. Dare Power Park, about 3 miles away, adds a boat ramp, playground, fishing piers, and a sandy beach area for day trips.
Getting There
Montgomery Regional Airport and Columbus Airport are both roughly 80-90 km away, making this a drive-in lake destination rather than an airport-adjacent stay. Jordan-Hare Stadium is about 30 miles away, useful for guests combining a lake getaway with a game-day visit.
Best for
This home suits multigenerational families and groups traveling with young children, thanks to the crib, highchair, playpen, and dedicated kid-friendly bunk playroom. It also appeals to boating and watersports enthusiasts, given the private slough location, jet ski port, kayaks, paddle boards, and covered boat slip, plus anyone seeking a quiet lakefront retreat away from the busy main channel.
Travel tips
Plan on driving, since the nearest airports (Montgomery Regional and Columbus) are both roughly 50 miles away. Download the Alabama Power Shoreline app before your trip to check lake levels, as water can fluctuate with rainfall and a seasonal drawdown typically begins October 15th. If boating in, use the covered slip or jet ski port at low wake speed out of respect for neighboring swimmers in the slough, and note the boat lift itself is powered down for safety.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and well-kept condition of the home, along with helpful, responsive property management. Families with young children note the abundance of toys and kid-focused features, while the quiet, friendly neighborhood and easy boat docking with calm water access for water sports are frequently highlighted. Overall satisfaction is high, with repeat visits mentioned and no significant recurring complaints noted in the available excerpts.
