Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Huge Boathouse, Screened Porch, Firepit, 3 King Beds is a lakefront boathouse-style vacation rental in Alabama designed around time on the water. The property centers on a large boathouse with space for boats, plus a big screened porch with lake views for dining or lounging. It is smoke-free, offers free parking, and includes free Wi‑Fi.
Bedrooms & Layout
The home has three bedrooms, each furnished with a king-size bed and its own TV. Climate control is supported by air conditioning and heating for warm summers and cooler months. In-unit laundry (washer) and an ironing board add convenience for longer stays.
Kitchen & In-Home Dining
An eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances is set up for self-catering, with an oven/stove and microwave. A dining table seats six, matching the property’s focus on group-friendly meals. Outdoor cooking is supported by a charcoal grill and an additional outdoor grill area.
Lake Access & Outdoor Features
The boathouse includes dining seating for six and fishing rod holders for guests who plan to fish off the dock. A firepit and screened porch expand the outdoor living space. Full water access is typically available during Alabama Power’s summer pool period (April–October); between November and March, lowered water levels mean boats do not have access to the dock, though kayaks can be carried in year-round.

Nearby dining options include Mama T’s Place (about 9.0 km), The Camellia Cafe (about 9.0 km), and Miller’s on Broadnax (about 9.0 km), with additional choices such as Prime Steakhouse, SpringHouse (fine dining), and Wharf Casual Seafood Alexander City roughly 12–17 km away.

Best suited to lake-focused groups and couples who want space for boating and outdoor hangouts, with a large boathouse, fishing rod holders, grills, and a screened porch overlooking the water. It also fits travelers who prioritize sleeping comfort and privacy within the group, since all three bedrooms have king beds and their own TVs. Pet owners can be a strong match as the property allows up to two dogs (fee applies).
Travel tips
If you’re bringing a boat, note that a public boat ramp is about 3/4 mile away, and the property also mentions extra boat parking with a nearby plug.
