Overview

Set on a gently sloping, tree-lined lot, it offers direct outdoor access and a calm slough-water setting that’s especially suited to floating and swimming. The home sleeps up to 8, making it a good fit for families or couples traveling together.
Layout & Sleeping
The main level includes a king bedroom with a TV and workspace, a full bathroom, a living room with lake views and a 75-inch TV, plus a twin-over-full bunk bed. Upstairs, a loft with vaulted ceilings and natural light adds a queen bed, a twin “boat” bed with a twin trundle, a TV, and an attached 3/4 bathroom. Family gear includes a crib, Pack ’n play, and a highchair.
Kitchen & In-Home Comfort
A fully equipped kitchen supports self-catered stays with an oven/stove, microwave, and other essentials, plus a large dining table for group meals. Comfort features include air conditioning, heating, a washer, and an ironing board. Connectivity and entertainment include free Wi‑Fi and cable TV.
Outdoor Living & Lake Access
Outdoor features are a core highlight: a private dock for fishing, swimming, and tying up watercraft; kayaks and a paddle boat; and a fire pit for evenings by the water. Multiple covered porches (front, back, and side—two with lake views) create flexible outdoor space, along with an outdoor dining area and grill. A hot tub adds another option for relaxing after time on the lake.
Parking & Area Notes
Parking is set up for lake logistics with a large circular driveway, a covered carport, and space for 3 vehicles plus a boat trailer. The home is conveniently located off Hwy 280 between Alexander City and Dadeville. For launching, Boondocks at Bay Pine Marina is approximately 1/3 mile away.
Best for
Best for families, two-family groups, or couples traveling together who want a relaxed Lake Martin stay with on-the-water amenities. The private dock, calm slough waters, included kayaks/paddle boat, fire pit, porches, and hot tub create a full lake-day setup without needing to leave the property.
Travel tips
Lake Martin water levels are seasonal: in higher-water months (typically spring through early fall), the dock offers direct water access; during lower water periods, the shoreline may extend farther from the dock. If you’re bringing a boat or planning to rent one, note the nearby boat launch at Boondocks at Bay Pine Marina (about 1/3 mile away). Parking is straightforward for groups, with a circular driveway, covered carport, and space for a boat trailer.
