Perfect 4 bed, 3 bath lake getaway w/ amazing views in quiet cove!
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
This four-bedroom, three-bath vacation home sits in a quiet cove on Lake Martin near Alexander City, Alabama, and is built to accommodate a large group. Guests park in a carport or driveway with at least four spaces before entering a spacious, open-concept top floor with sweeping lake views. A private dock with a boat slip and jet ski ramp sits just feet from the house, putting the water at the center of the stay.
Rooms & Layout
The top floor holds the master bedroom with a king bed and private bath, plus a second bedroom with a queen bed and an adjoining bathroom. Downstairs offers a separate living area for kids with a queen sleeper sofa, an additional king bedroom, and a bunk room with six twin beds ideal for children or extra guests. In total the home sleeps a large crowd comfortably across its four bedrooms and multiple sitting areas.
Outdoor Space & Recreation
Double sliding doors from the main living area open onto a spacious porch furnished with two outdoor dining tables plus gas and charcoal grills. Downstairs, a large covered porch with a swing provides another spot to relax, and the on-site dock with boat slip and jet ski ramp makes this a genuine lake-access property rather than just a house near the water.
Kitchen & Amenities
The open kitchen is equipped for full cooking with an oven, stove, and microwave, and the home includes two eating areas and two sitting areas to spread out a large group. Practical extras include air conditioning and heating, a washer, ironing board, crib, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi and parking, plus a smoke-free interior throughout.
Location & Dining Nearby
Kowaliga Restaurant is under 10 minutes away by land or water, and Chimney Rock is under a 10-minute boat ride, while Anchor Bay Marina, offering boat rentals, is roughly 5 minutes by boat or 3 minutes by car. Additional dining options within a short drive include The Social at Lake Martin, Red Hill Kitchen, SpringHouse, and Fanny's, and Montgomery Regional Airport is about 62 km away for those flying in.
Best for
This property is best suited to large families or multi-family groups seeking a lake vacation, thanks to its four bedrooms, six-bed bunk room, and separate kids' living area. It also appeals strongly to boating and jet ski enthusiasts given the private dock, boat slip, jet ski ramp, and proximity to Anchor Bay Marina's boat rentals.
Travel tips
Access to the property involves a driveway that guests have described as steep, so plan accordingly if towing a boat or trailer, and ask about boat storage and charging options in advance. Many nearby destinations, including Kowaliga Restaurant and Chimney Rock, are quickest to reach by boat rather than by car, so factor water travel into your plans. Montgomery Regional Airport (about 62 km away) and Columbus Airport (about 96 km away) are the closest air options for visitors flying in.
What guests say
Reviewers consistently praise the property's location on Lake Martin, its cleanliness, and how well-stocked it is for a large group stay, contributing to a perfect 5-star rating across 85 reviews. The main recurring concern is logistical: the driveway is steep, which complicates parking or storing a boat, and guests noted a lack of a designated spot to charge or plug in a boat. Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with the water access and spaciousness standing out as the property's strongest features.
