Hooked on a Feeling- 2Br Lake Cabin
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Hooked on a Feeling is a 1960s-era 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom lake cabin set on a sprawling 1.42-acre lot with over 590 feet of private waterfront on Lake Martin near Alexander City and Dadeville, Alabama. The property retains its original nostalgic character while offering modern updates, making it a distinctive alternative to standard hotel accommodations. It comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests across two bedrooms.
Rooms & Layout
The first bedroom offers a queen bed, while the second combines a queen bed with bunk beds, suiting families or small groups. A Smart TV with Wi-Fi provides entertainment, and Mitsubishi wall-mounted A/C units along with heating keep the cabin comfortable year-round. Note that the cabin does not include a washer, dryer, or dishwasher, so longer stays should be planned accordingly.
Kitchen & Amenities
The cabin features a fully-equipped kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave for preparing meals on-site, plus an ironing board and smoke-free interiors. An outdoor grill on the deck supports lakeside cookouts, and free Wi-Fi keeps guests connected throughout their stay.
Outdoor & Recreation
Guests have access to a private, boat-friendly dock along with two kayaks and paddles for exploring Lake Martin, plus cornhole boards, hammocks, a cooler, water toys, and an umbrella for lounging on the expansive property. The spacious deck offers wide lake views, and the nearest boat ramp is roughly 1.3 miles away. Seasonal water levels are managed by Alabama Power, typically lowering in fall/winter and rising again around March 1st.
Location & Dining
The cabin sits near popular Lake Martin attractions such as Peanut Point and Big Beach, with a range of nearby restaurants including Fanny's, SpringHouse fine dining, Prime Steakhouse, and Kowaliga Restaurant, most within a 7-12 km radius. Montgomery Regional Airport and Columbus Airport are both roughly an hour's drive away, making the cabin accessible for out-of-town visitors.
Best for
This cabin is best suited to families and small groups seeking a laid-back lake getaway, thanks to its bunk-bed bedroom, private dock, kayaks, and cornhole setup. Couples looking for a nostalgic, scenic retreat will also appreciate the private deck, lake views, and hammocks. It's less suited to travelers needing hotel-style services like housekeeping, laundry, or dishwashing during their stay.
Travel tips
Bring your own boat or rely on the provided kayaks, since the nearest public boat ramp is about 1.3 miles from the cabin. Pack with the lack of washer, dryer, and dishwasher in mind, especially for longer stays. Check the season before booking, as Lake Martin's water levels are lower in fall and winter and rise again around March, which can affect dock and swimming conditions.
