Note: there is a gradual decline from the parking spot to the front of the house and there is a stone pathway that is uneven in some places due to natural stone. We do not recommend renting if you have difficulty walking as this is an old cabin that has been renovated and we strive to keep the natural charm and feel via unique landscaping. Additionally there are 2 steps in to front door and about 10 steps from back porch to the boat dock. Please do not rent if you have trouble walking up or down 1-10 steps.

Note: Boat is not included. Covered boat slip is also not available for use; however, boats can be tied to the dock from two points for any docking needs.

Note: Boats in photos & on property not included in rental but you are welcome to bring your own & tie at the dock. Enjoy the big water view on this cabin which is located on the beautiful Lake Martin, Alabama.

Note: only two small parking spaces available. If you drive large vehicles then only one spot is available. Additional parking available in grassy area available on first come first serve basis, as that area is shared with the community and is park at your own risk. Public boat ramp and public boat and trailer parking is available first come first serve nearby (approximately 10-15 minutes away). Note: boat trailer parking is not available at the property. Note: we do not have a pool available. That is a glitch in VRBO’s software and we have requested a fix.

Note: water levels are lowered in the fall and winter by Alabama Power via the Lake Martin Dam. The full pool level during the warm months at Lake Martin is 491 mean sea level (msl) and then starts to decline beginning September 1st. Sometimes, changes will keep the high summer of 491 msl for up to an additional six weeks longer, extending full pool into October. Please visit lakeMartin.com for water level information.

Relaxing, Refreshing, Peaceful

My husband and I had such an amazing 9 days staying at John’s home on Lake Martin. The house was 5-Stars in every way. Clean, well stocked with essentials, and I loved that the light switches were labeled so we could easily find our way around. It was a few steps to the water where we sipped drinks while watching the sunset from the dock. The neighborhood was quiet and everyone we met was friendly. 10/10 recommend this for your next getaway. Thank you, John, for opening your home for us to enjoy. It was truly a pleasure.

Great View - Well Appointed

Great Property! Great Host! This place has everything you need. Lovely decor, interesting art, and A+++ Kitchen! Comfortable Beds and pillows galore! We really enjoyed the wonderfully deep bathtub and HOT HOT water. 3 stars on cleaning because the couches were badly stained and the thick spider webs on the outside of the windows. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location and view

Very clean house, updated appliances and with plenty of room for our family of 4. The view is awesome! It has a great deck area to sit on, firepit, and dock. The water is shallow near shore and deeper towards the end of the dock and, along with a sandy bottom, makes for great swimming. Would definitely stay here again.
