Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Lightsinger Lakehouse is a privately owned home set on Lake Martin in Alabama, offered as an alternative to standard hotel stays for visitors to the Auburn area. The property is furnished with personal touches and stocked with amenities meant to make guests feel at home rather than in a rental unit. A gently sloping lot provides easy, safe access to the water, and the home sits on a quieter stretch of the lake with less boat traffic.
Layout & Rooms
The spacious house includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two full kitchens, and two separate living areas, making it well suited to two families traveling together or a group wanting separate adult and kids' zones. Two covered porches offer shaded spots to relax while keeping an eye on children swimming or playing near the water.
Amenities
In-unit amenities include a kitchen, oven/stove, microwave, washer, ironing board, air conditioning and heating, a fireplace, a balcony, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi, covering the essentials for an extended or self-catered stay. Outdoors, a fire pit is provided for evening gatherings, and the property is smoke-free throughout. Free parking is available on-site.
Water Access & Recreation
The home features a private boat ramp along with stationary and floating piers fitted with cleats, allowing straightforward access for personal watercraft or boats and supporting easier fishing from the quieter end of the lake. This setup, combined with the fire pit and covered porches, positions the property well for lake-focused stays centered on fishing and time on the water.
Dining & Nearby Restaurants
A cluster of casual dining options sits within roughly a 10-minute drive, including a seafood restaurant, a chicken wings spot, a diner, a breakfast restaurant, an American restaurant, and a BBQ restaurant, giving guests a range of choices without needing to venture far from the lake.
Location
The house is about a five-minute drive from Alexander City for groceries or Bailey's Sports Plex, and it offers quick access to Highway 280 for trips to Auburn for baseball, football, or graduation events. Montgomery Regional Airport and Columbus Airport are both roughly 80-100 km away for guests flying in.
Best for
This property is best suited to families or groups of up to two households attending Auburn sporting events or graduations, thanks to its four bedrooms, two kitchens, and two living areas. It's also a strong fit for anglers and lake-recreation travelers, given the private boat ramp, piers, and quieter fishing water, as well as longer-stay guests who benefit from the owner's special rates for two-week-plus rentals.
Travel tips
Plan for a roughly five-minute drive into Alexander City for groceries and supplies, since the lakehouse relies on its own kitchens rather than on-site dining. Highway 280 provides a quick route to Auburn for game days or graduation, so time your departure around event traffic. Guests flying in should note the nearest airports, Montgomery Regional and Columbus, are each about an hour's drive away.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the lakefront location and the overall setup of the home, describing it as clean and well-arranged for group stays. Some reviewers note the interior furnishings feel a bit dated, though this hasn't detracted much from overall satisfaction, reflected in a strong 4.9 average across 118 reviews. Cleanliness and the lake setting stand out as the most repeated positive themes.
