The Chill and Thrill Lakehouse
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Chill & Thrill Lakehouse is a luxury 3,600-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 3-bath lakefront retreat on Lake Martin, located off Highway 34 in Dadeville, Alabama. The open-concept design pairs a spacious kitchen and living room with large windows framing lake views, creating a relaxed home base for groups seeking both quiet and recreation. The layout balances a calm, cozy 'Chill' side with an active, entertainment-driven 'Thrill' side.
Rooms
All four bedrooms and three bathrooms are located on the main level. The Master Suite offers a king bed, an office nook with a lake view, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower, while the Guest Suite pairs a king bed with its own walk-in-shower bath. A Soundproof Guest Room with a queen bed suits guests who game or stream late, and a Twin Room with two twin beds adds sleeping capacity for larger groups; a Hall Bath with a tub/shower combo rounds out the main level, and every bedroom except the twin room includes a TV.
Amenities & Recreation
The kitchen is fully equipped with a wine chiller, ice maker, coffee pot, microwave, and oven/stove for self-catering. Upstairs, the dedicated Chill Zone includes a large sectional, TV, pool table, and arcade game, while outdoor living spans a front deck with a porch swing, a back deck with swinging chairs, a dining area, a gas grill, and a mounted TV. A hot tub, fire pit, and fenced backyard round out the on-site recreation, and the home is pet-friendly, smoke-free, air-conditioned, and equipped with free Wi-Fi and a washer.
Waterfront & Dock
The property includes a private dock with a screened sitting area, ceiling fan, and easy-entry steps into Lake Martin, plus a small fire pit nearby for evening use. A side gate provides easy access for paddleboards or kayaks, and while the owner's boat remains on-site, ample dock space with cleats is available for guests' own boats.
Location
By water, the lakehouse is close to Holiday Shores, Harbor Pointe Marina, Bluffs Daiquiri, The Landing at Harbor Pointe, Chimney Rock, and Chuck's Marina. By car, it's roughly 5–10 minutes to Dollar General, Lake Martin Grocery, Niffer's Place, and Oskar's Café, about 2.5 miles from the New Water Farms event venue, and around 30 miles from Auburn University, making it convenient for game weekends, graduations, and campus visits.
Best for
This lakehouse suits groups and families gathering for lake vacations, thanks to its four bedrooms, private dock, hot tub, and upstairs game room with pool table and arcade. It's also well suited to Auburn University visitors — being about 30 miles from campus — and to guests attending events at nearby New Water Farms, given the proximity and ample sleeping and gathering space.
Travel tips
The home is located off Highway 34 in Dadeville, with grocery stores and casual dining such as Niffer's Place and Oskar's Café only 5–10 minutes away by car. Boaters can reach lakeside spots like Harbor Pointe Marina, Chimney Rock, and Chuck's Marina directly by water, and a side gate makes launching paddleboards or kayaks from the dock convenient. Note that lake water levels are managed seasonally by Alabama Power, typically dropping in September/October and rising again around March 1st, so dock water depth will be lower in fall and winter than in summer photos.
