About Lake Levels & Seasonal Drawdown (Important to Know)
Lake Martin is a managed lake, and each year the water level is intentionally lowered during the fall and winter months as part of Alabama Power’s standard lake management process.
What this means for guests: • Late October through early spring, water levels are typically lower and at some points almost completely dry. • During drawdown, portions of the shoreline and dock area may be visible or completely dry • Boat access may be limited depending on lake levels at that specific time and boat size • The dock remains usable for relaxing and enjoying the view
The good news: Many guests love the drawdown season for its peaceful atmosphere, stunning views, fewer boats, crisp air, and perfect hot tub weather. It’s an ideal time for relaxation, reconnecting, and enjoying Lake Martin at a slower pace.
Water levels usually return to full pool in the spring and summer, bringing excellent boating, swimming, and high-energy lake days.
We’re always happy to answer questions about current lake conditions before your stay so you can plan accordingly.
⸻
Location Highlights • Quiet, private cove with minimal boat traffic • Easy access to main lake when water levels are up • Short drive to local marinas, dining, and Lake Martin attractions • Feels secluded, yet close to everything you need
⸻
What Guests Love Most • Exceptionally clean and well-stocked home • Outdoor space that feels like a private resort • Thoughtful communication and local insight • A setting that makes it hard to leave

We were looking for a relaxing family getaway for fall break, and this was definitely the place. The home was beautiful and the cove was quiet! We Would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a relaxing few days away.
We had a wonderful stay at Bobby & Rhianna’s lakeside house. You can tell how much thought and effort has been put into this home. The kitchen & toiletries were well stocked and there were more than enough towel available for our whole group. The kitchen layout is perfect, and we were able to cook great meals all weekend.
Our stay could not have been any more perfect. The location and layout of this property is amazing. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.The home is beautifully decorated and very clean. It was perfect for a family spring break getaway.
This was an amazing place to stay. Great location close to town. SO clean. The place was very well equipped. They quite literally thought of everything. Will definitely be staying there again
We loved the quiet location of this property. The outdoor spaces were perfect. House is well appointed and has everything you could possibly wish for. Host was very helpful and friendly! Would highly recommend this property! Hope to stay again if we are in the area!
The house was very nice and very comfortable. The host was very attentive and communicated very timely when we had questions. The outdoor area was beautiful. I would highly recommend.
Definitely the most well stocked VRBO I have ever stayed in! The hosts wrote a hand written note, left snacks and drinks, and had every toiletry item and kitchen tool you could think of! There was even a curler, straightener, and hair blow dryer! Very impressed by their thoughtfulness and attention to detail. We really enjoyed hanging out outside and watching the games. Would absolutely recommend this place!
The property was beautiful and decorated perfect! The owners and manager thought of everything when it comes to outfitting the house. Very impressed with the amenities for a vacation rental. One thing I would recommend is a guest book with info for local events/activities/house overview and a signing record of all the previous guests. I would highly recommend the property!
We had a very nice relaxing time at our rental. I clean houses for a living so I thought the property should have been a lot cleaner inside and out. The constuction workers in the neighborhood was a bit annoying.
We have had the best week here. The house was so well stocked. I was amazed at all the extras the hosts provided for us. From hair dryers, to laundry detergent, to garbage bags, to snacks. The outdoor area was perfect for cooking and relaxing. The boat dock was so easy to use and swim from. They also had a ton of water toys and floats that we were able to use. This place was great and we will be back!
We spent a week at Bobby & Brianna’s lovely home and loved our visit. The home is well appointed with more amenities and special touches than expected. We had two teenaged girls who enjoyed paddle boarding in the cove and River North Marina made renting a boat super convenient. The guidebook provided was great and although we are repeat Lake Martin guests, we learned a new place in Alex City. Thank you!
My family and I had a great time at this house. We spent the majority of our time out back. There was everything you could think of. We couldn’t figure out how to work the gas fire pit on the porch but we were still able to build a real fire with everything provided. They even gave s’mores items. We will definitely visit this house again.
Beautiful quiet home on cove! The hospitality was amazing! They had us fire wood, things to make s’mores and the best coffee to ground and make expresso! It was fabulous! We really enjoyed the outdoor space even while it was raining. The owners made sure that the babies had what they needed. The wood burning fireplace was so nice and relaxing. They even brought propane for the outdoor heaters to make sure every thing was perfect. The black stone made the best steaks. I highly recommend.
Beautiful family home, situated right on the water, who could ask for anything better!! A fireplace, a fire pit and outdoor, heated patio living room with full kitchen area! You can relax in the hot tub as you watch an Eagle soar across the lake or a gaggle of geese swoop down for dinner. A wonderful place to relax and de-stress!
We had a wonderful weekend! There really is nothing negative to say. The location is gorgeous and peaceful and the house was so perfect. The snacks and s’mores and all the extras really put the experience above and beyond. Highly recommend.
Overall great place!! Host was very responsive to our needs. Can’t wait to try it when the water is higher

House was nice but there was no lake. It wasn’t until our arrival after emailing the host that it was disclosed the lake was drained by the utility company. WARNING lakes is non existent during certain months (our stay was in December)! Please do your research before booking. The entire purpose of staying at a lake house is the lake.
We had an amazing stay! This house is wonderful for accommodating a good sized group! The kitchen is well appointed, beds are comfortable, towels are plentiful, lounge space is ample both inside and outside! The yard is great for playing games and slopes gently to the dock. Dock is huge, great entertaining spaces outside, and the lights at night are lovely! It was frigid during our stay over New Year, so our outdoor enjoyment was limited, but we can’t wait to return for lake fun in the summer! The lake is drained during this season, so don’t expect water in the winter. We knew this already, and it did not hinder our trip.If you plan to use the hot tub in extra cold weather, make sure it is heated ahead of time. This is a fantastic family getaway!
