Boardwalk Bungalow | Lake Martin Retreat
Overview
Boardwalk Bungalow is a lakeside vacation home in the Falling Water community on Lake Martin, near Alexander City. Tucked at the end of the road for privacy, it combines a quiet, secluded setting with easy access to a private boat slip, a community pool, and the popular New Water Farms venue just a walk away. The bungalow is designed as a self-contained retreat for couples, families, and small groups visiting for lake vacations, weddings, or Auburn football weekends.
Sleeping Arrangements
The home sleeps guests across a main-level bedroom with a king bed and TV, plus an upstairs loft featuring a full bed, a twin bed, a TV, an Xbox 360, and a tiled walk-in shower. A blow-up mattress is available for additional sleeping space, making the layout flexible for small groups or families with children.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to a private boat slip on the community boardwalk, plus a community pool and gazebo reachable by a walking path or short drive. The screened porch with a TV offers a relaxing spot to unwind after a day on the water. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, countertop ice maker, drip coffee maker, microwave, and oven/stove, and additional practical amenities include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, a washer and dryer, a smoke-free environment, and a Weber charcoal outdoor grill.
Location
Boardwalk Bungalow is within walking distance of New Water Farms, a popular wedding and event venue, and is close to Lake Martin dining spots including Martin's at Lake Martin, The Landing at Parker Creek, Oskar's Café, and Niffer's Place. It's also positioned near several wedding venues -- Living Water Church (about 6 miles), The Mitchell House (about 7.3 miles), Overlook Farms (about 11.5 miles), and Church in the Pines (about 22.5 miles) -- and is roughly 30 miles from Auburn University, making it convenient for football weekends and campus visits.
Seasonal Notes
Because Lake Martin's water levels are managed by Alabama Power, levels typically begin lowering each September or October and start rising again around March 1st. Guests booking in the off-season should expect lower water depth at the dock and boat slip than what is shown in summer photos.
Best for
Boardwalk Bungalow is best suited to families and small groups seeking a lake vacation, thanks to its private boat slip, community pool access, and family-friendly extras like life jackets, floats, and a Pack 'n Play. It's also a strong fit for wedding guests attending events at nearby New Water Farms or other area venues, and for Auburn football weekend visitors given its roughly 30-mile proximity to the university.
Travel tips
Guests will want a car, as the wedding venues and Auburn University are several miles away and best reached by driving. The community pool and gazebo can be reached via a walking path along the boardwalk or by a short drive, so plan accordingly depending on the day's activities. Because dock water levels fluctuate seasonally, boating guests should check conditions if visiting in fall, winter, or early spring before Alabama Power raises levels around March 1st.
