Cozy waterfront home with boat ramp, dock and gentle sloping lot.
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Ed's View is a cozy, two-story waterfront home on the eastern side of Lake Martin, just 1.5 miles from Dadeville and 3 miles from Still Waters Resort. Set on a gentle sloping lot along the calm waters of Sandy Creek, the property comfortably sleeps 12 across five bedrooms, making it well suited to multi-generational families or groups sharing a lake getaway. The host describes it as unpretentious and relaxing rather than luxurious -- a comfortable base for enjoying the lake.
Rooms & Layout
The ground level includes two king bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, a laundry area, an eat-in kitchen, a living area, and a screened porch overlooking the water. Upstairs are three more bedrooms (two kings and a queen), a private queen sleeping nook, a bathroom with a separate tub and shower, a large living room, and an open-air porch with lake views. A seasonal outdoor shower is also available (shut off in winter).
Amenities & Recreation
The home is fully equipped with air conditioning and heating, a washer, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a full kitchen with microwave and oven/stove, and an ironing board for convenience. Outdoors, guests have access to a large boat dock, a floating dock with tables, chairs, ceiling fans, sun shades, lighting, and an electrical outlet, plus an extra-long concrete private boat launch. A new gas grill, a patio, a balcony, a porch swing, board games, and a basketball goal round out the recreational offerings, with five parking pads and overflow parking at the top of the property.
Location & Surroundings
The property sits within easy reach of Dadeville's restaurants and grocery store, and is close to several dining spots including The Camellia Cafe, Mama T's Place, Miller's on Broadnax, and Nirvana Latte, all roughly 5-6 km away. It's about an hour from Montgomery, 75 minutes from Birmingham, two hours from Atlanta, and 30 minutes from Auburn, making it a convenient stop for Auburn game days, Lake Martin vacations, Robert Trent Jones golf outings, bass tournaments, and Talladega Speedway visits. Smith Mountain, with its restored Fire Tower and 50-mile views, is under five minutes away by boat or car.
Best for
This home suits large families, multi-generational groups, and gatherings for Auburn game days, weddings, or lake vacations, given its five bedrooms, sleeping capacity for 12, and ample parking. It's also a strong fit for anglers and boaters thanks to the private boat launch, dock, and proximity to Lake Martin's fishing tournaments, as well as golfers heading to nearby Robert Trent Jones courses.
Travel tips
Bring your own boat or plan lake activities around water levels, since the dock area can be shallow when the lake is drawn down seasonally. The property is about 30 minutes from Auburn and an hour from Montgomery, so it works well as a base for game weekends or day trips to Atlanta or Birmingham. Stock up at the Renfroe's grocery store in Dadeville, just a few minutes away, before settling in, and consider a quick boat or car trip to Smith Mountain's Fire Tower for panoramic views.
