Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Beaver Lodge is a waterfront cabin on Lake Martin in Dadeville, Alabama, sitting alone on a quiet cul-de-sac at the end of paved roads off Stillwaters Drive (Highway 34). The property fronts 273 feet of unobstructed lake shoreline on a gently sloping lot, with a zero-entry sandy beach that makes the water accessible even for the youngest guests. It is a non-smoking, air-conditioned cabin built for group getaways rather than a standard hotel stay.
Rooms & Layout
The cabin features a standout downstairs bunkroom outfitted with 4 queen beds, a private bath, a wall-mounted TV, and an Xbox, plus its own porch with a table and chairs for games, making it a dedicated kids' retreat. A relaxing bed swing is set on the lower deck of the house for additional casual seating.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site recreation centers on the dock and shoreline: guests have use of two kayaks, beach and lounge chairs, and furnished beach towels, plus a 50-inch flat screen TV mounted above the bar on the upper dock. A stone patio with a fire pit sits near the outdoor grill and a Komodo charcoal grill, and there's a regulation basketball goal on the property along with a circle drive with ample room for cars, trailers, and boat or jet ski launching. In-cabin conveniences include a kitchen, cable TV, and an ironing board.
Dining
There is no restaurant on site, but the cabin's outdoor grill, charcoal grill, and covered upper deck are set up for home cooking and outdoor dining. Nearby options in Dadeville include Prime Steakhouse, Nirvana Latte, Oskar's Cafe, and Twice Baked, all within roughly 5 kilometers, with additional choices like The Camellia Cafe, Ellie May's Homeplate Cafe, Niffer's Place Lake Martin, Miller's on Broadnax, The Social at Lake Martin, and Fanny's a short drive away.
Location & Surroundings
The cabin is positioned directly on Lake Martin, near the Yates Lake Wildlife Management Area, with Lakewinds Golf Course, The Ridge Marina, and Stillwaters Golf Resort all reachable for activity-minded guests. Watercraft rentals are available about 10 minutes away at Stillwaters Marina, and the surrounding low-traffic slough is well suited to tubing, water-skiing, jet skiing, and fishing for bream, catfish, or crappie. Auburn University is about 31 miles away, Montgomery Regional Airport is roughly 74 km away, Columbus Airport about 89 km away, and the Atlanta airport is around 90 minutes by car.
Best for
This cabin is best suited to families and groups planning a lake vacation together, thanks to the dedicated bunkroom sleeping arrangement for kids, the zero-entry sandy beach, kayaks, and basketball goal. It's equally well suited to friend groups seeking a private, secluded waterfront retreat with a fire pit, dock seating, and space to park boats and trailers.
Travel tips
Access is via paved roads off Stillwaters Drive (Highway 34), and the cabin sits alone on a quiet cul-de-sac, so a car is essential for getting to and from Dadeville's restaurants and attractions. If you don't own a boat or jet ski, plan to rent one from Stillwaters Marina, about 10 minutes away, and note that Lake Martin activities like tubing and water-skiing are best enjoyed in the calmer slough behind the property. Given the drive distances, travelers flying in should expect roughly 90 minutes from Atlanta or a shorter hop from Montgomery Regional or Columbus Airports.
