About this property
Dog-Friendly Lake Martin Home | Fenced Yard
Bring your dog and escape the noise in this peaceful Lake Martin retreat. Enjoy a fully fenced backyard, doggie door to a screened porch, and quiet mornings with birds and calm nights with crickets. At sunset, string lights glow over the patio and fire pit, creating the perfect unwind space. Inside is a spotless 3BR home with fast WiFi, fresh linens, and a fully stocked kitchen. Ideal for pets, weddings, fishing trips, or relaxing weekends. Book now and enjoy a true lakeside home away from home.
We want you to enjoy your stay! It’s likely you won’t see me during your visit, which allows you more privacy and convenience.
However, I am here anytime you need to reach out. If you need anything or have questions, just send me a message and I’ll be quick to respond.
Lake-adjacent, the honest way: You're directly across the street from Lake Martin — a short, easy walk to the public access point, with secure parking for boats and trailers right at the house. You'll catch lake views from the property, and you're only minutes from Wind Creek State Park and the boat ramp. (Note: this is a lake-adjacent home, not a private waterfront property — no private dock or shoreline — which is exactly why it stays so quiet.)
Built for pets: A fully fenced backyard gives your dog room to roam, and the doggie door leads straight out to the screened porch so they can come and go while you relax. Travelers with pets are our most frequent — and happiest — guests.
Two porches to choose from: The screened-in back porch is the star — shaded, breezy, and made for slow mornings. Out front, a second porch with a gas grill is perfect for cooking out.
A kitchen ready to actually cook in: Center island, newer appliances, and the essentials stocked — coffee, cookware, and the basics. Bring your favorite spices and you're set.
Comfortable living + fast WiFi: Plush seating, a smart TV in the living room, and fast WiFi throughout — easy whether you're winding down or working remote.
Three bedrooms, three ways to rest:
Master — King bed Second bedroom — Queen bed Third bedroom — Full bed Smart TV in every room
The extras that add up: In-unit washer & dryer, good strong AC (essential for an Alabama summer), and plenty of secure parking for trucks, boats, and trailers.
The whole home is yours, inside and out — both porches, the fenced backyard, and the fire pit. Self check-in with a smart lock makes arrival easy at any hour.
Getting here: use WIND CREEK ROAD to reach the house — some GPS apps route you down Peppers Road, which is partly unpaved. We'll send clear directions before check-in.
LAKE-ADJACENT, THE HONEST WAY You're directly across the street from Lake Martin — a short, easy walk to public access, with secure parking for boats, trailers, and trucks right at the house. You'll catch lake views from the property and you're minutes from Wind Creek State Park and the boat ramp (about 8 minutes — anglers, this one's for you). One honest note: this is a lake-ADJACENT home, not private waterfront — no dock or private shoreline — which is exactly why it stays so peaceful.
BUILT FOR DOGS A fully fenced backyard gives your dog room to run, and a doggie door leads straight out to the screened porch so they can come and go while you relax. Travelers with pets are our most frequent — and happiest — guests.
EVENINGS OUTSIDE String lights over the patio, a fire pit with seating, and two porches to choose from. The screened-in back porch is the star — shaded, breezy, made for slow mornings with coffee. Out front, a second porch with a gas grill is built for cookouts.
A KITCHEN YOU'LL ACTUALLY COOK IN Center island, newer appliances, drip + Keurig coffee, and the essentials stocked. Bring your favorite spices and you're set.
COMFORTABLE INSIDE, FAST WIFI Plush living-room seating, a smart TV, and fast WiFi throughout — easy whether you're winding down or working remote at the dedicated desk.
THREE WAYS TO REST Master with a king, second bedroom with a queen, third with a full — plus a smart TV in every room, fresh cotton linens, and new mattresses.
THE EXTRAS THAT ADD UP In-unit washer & dryer, strong AC for Alabama summers, single-level layout, and plenty of secure parking for trucks, boats, and trailers.
WHY GUESTS REBOOK Spotless, peaceful, and genuinely pet-ready — and a host who answers fast (usually within the hour). "Felt right at home" is the line we hear most.
A car is the way to go here — the lake and everything around it is a short, easy drive, and there's plenty of free parking right at the house for cars, trucks, boats, and trailers. Public lake access is just a short walk across the street.
Nearby:
→ ~8 min to the Wind Creek boat ramp (fishing trips — park the rig at the house) → 9 min to Fanny Goldmine Diner → 12 min to Wind Creek State Park (hiking, beach, day use) → 13 min to Kowaliga Restaurant (lakeside dining) → ~15 min to Children's Harbor & the Kowaliga lighthouse → ~15 min to town for groceries, gas, and restaurants
Good to know: - Use WIND CREEK ROAD when you navigate — some GPS apps route you onto Peppers Road, which is partly unpaved. We'll send exact directions before check-in. - No rideshare or transit to count on out here — plan to have a vehicle.

The house and yard are pet friendly, but we have no pets. There are nice neighbors and some rough neighbors with bad dogs. Don't let people come in Peppers Road, they need to come in Wind Creek Farm Road, and turn on Farm Loop Road by bad dogs. The other way has a creek crossing, gravel road, and really bad dogs that attacked our car. The house was very nice and served our purpose to attend a local event. Plenty of parking. Very clean and everything you needed to stay away for a while. Internet and phone service was good in that remote area.
Would have been great to have a boat slip near by. If you stay at this property, just know you can get a slip rent at Wind Creek Park from just over $15 a night. This house was the perfect little lake house with a fenced in yard for our golden doodle. The VRBO fees made this over $500 for one night. It made the value of the stay seem way too expensive for the size and location.
House was clean, well-furnished and very comfortable. Part of yard is steep - our quads got a workout - but it was well-kept.
Beware: do not use Peppers Road to get to house if it has been raining. Road was closed due to high water over road. Use Wind Creek Farm Road.
Love the doggie door and fenced in backyard.Quiet location, we didn't go to the water because we didn't know the intended access point for this rental. It appeared the only access to the water was on someone else property, so we lounged around for a much needed 3 days.Regardless we had fun and cooked A LOT
