Smaller 2b/1bth lake cabin tastefully updated and very accommodating for a lake getaway. Really enjoyed our time and the peaceful lake even with a rainy forecast it cleared long enough to fish, swim, cookout and just enjoy the lake views.
This small cabin was perfect for our family vacation! The beach area is great for everyone, not just the small children. Nice slough without heavy traffic. Will definitely stay again!

Vacation
The house and grounds were beautiful. The beach area was perfect. Our grandkids stayed in the water all day. We loved this place and will be back again.
We’ve stayed several times now and actually returning in two weeks. Perfect spot on the lake for a vacation. Family friendly and close to restaurants within driving distance or on the water.

Wonderful stay
The house was impeccably clean upon our arrival. My kids loved the lake and the miniature beach. All the amenities we needed were included. Even the weather was great! We definitely hope to return.
This house was perfect for our little stay. Right on the lake, warm, calm water. Nice pier and beach so you had options. The house was clean and ready when we got there. All the amenities we needed. Would stay again.
We enjoyed the lake and view from the deck on our weekend at this cabin. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds were comfortable. The contact person was helpful.
It was a great place to get away and read, work on my next screenplay, and just get away with my wife for our anniversary. We enjoyed sitting by the lake and visiting the surrounding towns and local shops.
The Christmas lights in Alexander City were nice, too.
Although older this little lake house was perfect for a 2 night stop over on our way to Gulf Shores! It was very peaceful sitting on the deck and watching the birds and squirrels.
Thank you!
Great Location on Lake Martin. Everything you need is close Ice, Food, Gas and any other supplies. I Met Boaters on the Lake and they took me out on the Lake on there Pontoon Boat.
We are local and vacation on Lake Martin every summer, and this is one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed. The house is cozy and has everything you need, the water access is perfect. We brought our kayak for our teenagers, swam, and fished (caught two blue gill). The grill and picnic area are nice. We had Canadian geese came and swam with us every day we were there. We will definitely stay here again.

Lake Martin Stay
Enjoyed the property for a short 3 day stay. House is very clean and everything is in good working order. Love the view of the lake. Communication with Evolve is good but not the guest contact, who is not responsible to say the least.

Just as advertised
This was a lovely setting directly on the lake. The pictures are just as advertised. Not the easiest place to find, but thank God for GPS. My husband and I were very happy with the accommodations. I would have given all 5's but for two weeks before our reservation I tried numerous times and numerous ways to contact the property manager and couldn't get a reply. I had questions I would like to have had answered.
The location and amenities were perfect. It was close to hiking trails and is very quiet. Check in/out was a breeze. My only complaint is that the it has been a while since there was a deep cleaning of the house. The fridge had spilled liquids in it, almost every dish I pulled out had to be rewashed, the shower mat had other people's hair on it. The linens were clean and smelled lovely. In them. I would stay here again.

Great Cabin/Location
Enjoyed the cabin very much and would rebook it again. Good:- cabin layout is fantastic. Bathroom is a little tight but not an issue- pier to fish off of is great- quick access to pier, less than a minute to be on the end of the pier- location to everything we needed is perfect- on dead end road so no traffic for privacyBad- lights on pier do not work at night. Solar lights- outlet plugs are 2 prong so you need a 3 to 2 prong adaptor if you want to use outlets in the living room for computer use.- sheets to the master bedroom were on the floor when we got there so needed to wash them- fishing was hit and miss. Needs structure around the pier to hold bait fish and thus larger fish to catch-

Loved it! Highly recommend. Wonderful cottage on the lake! 🛶
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage on Lake Martin. We highly recommend this rental. The cottage was fairly remote, which we enjoyed. It’s equipped with everything you need. The views of the lake are wonderful. We spent most of our time on the large porch, under the pergola ( over the picnic table- not in pictures yet) and sitting on the sandy beach. It’s so lovely. There are many small towns near by the explore. We rented the house for a week. We’d love to rent this cottage again! We drove 7 hours to get there and it was worth the drive. Honestly the only thing that would have made it better would be to have some canoes or kayak to use. But you can rent them locally and they deliver. ( We did not try that.) Hopefully we can rent this place again! ❤️
Pros: We enjoyed our stay. The sandy beach made it easy to swim in shallower clear water. My son enjoyed making sandcastles. It is a really nice feature! The property is as it appears in photos and description. Check in was easy with the keypad. The property manager answered our question about the boat ramp quickly. We’ll keep this place on our list of lakefront places to stay near Montgomery.
Master bed was too firm for me and is an older style spring mattress bed.
After we left we told the property manager about some minor issues that we didn’t deem worthy of having our vacation interrupted to have addressed during our stay (rotten board on dock, loose cleat on dock, missing lightbulb for bedroom lamp, underwear of a previous guest under a bed, not enough forks (only5), no regular glasses (only mugs and wine glasses), etc. Hopefully our comments will be addressed to keep this place running smoothly because it’s an enjoyable vacation rental. This would’ve been a 5 of 5 star stay without these issues.
