Private Boat Ramp, Pet Friendly, Screen Porch, Fire Pit, Fish, Kayak, Relax

Slice of Lake Life - My happy place! Relax on the huge screened porch steps away from Lake Martin. Quiet Sandy Creek area has the perfect balance of activity vs privacy. Ski/tube or fish right outside. The yard is flat and grassy, perfect for kicking the ball or laying out. Sit and talk around the fire pit in the evenings. Inside, entertain yourselves with various board games, books and puzzles.

House has a private boat ramp and dock. Please be aware that the lake water level is controlled by Alabama Power and in the winter depending on what they do as well as the amount of rain received you may need to use the public launch. The water level is typically lowered gradually starting in September and is raised gradually starting in March. Please check LakeMartin.com/Level.asp to see the estimated level for your visit. We recommend the level to be 488 MSL to comfortably use the launch. At this level the floating dock will be approximately 4.5 feet deep at the front of the slip and 5.5 feet deep at the back. At 487 MSL you can still use the floating dock, but will likely need to use the public launch at the end of Youngs Ferry Rd.

There is plenty of parking with a long driveway, parking area, as well as the boat launch.

For outdoor fun we have various floats for swimming, a four person pedal boat, and two kayaks for the adventurous. In the laundry room there are outdoor games - horseshoes, ladder toss, etc. If you bring a pet, there is a solid tie down set up if needed.

Four bedroom, two bath home with a sleeper sofa in den easily sleeps 10. Great room with living and dining areas has a window wall overlooking the lake. Fully equipped kitchen and laundry room. Eat inside or outside under ceiling fans on the screened in porch. All rooms have ceiling fans. In the king room closet is a pack-n-play (no crib bedding is provided). The highchair is in the garage.

There are Smart TVs in the Living Room and both bedrooms with king beds with access to your personal Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc. accounts.

The neighborhood as friendly dogs off leash, so don't be surprised if you have a welcoming party.

House has exterior cameras primarily for safety when the home is unoccupied.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Lakeview stay
The property was very nice. The host was patient and helpful. However, the neighbor dogs were very intimidating, I traveled with my grandparents and a toddler , having large barking dogs roaming around made it hard to enjoy the outside. Also as a pet friendly facility the house was of fur!!! The rugs, the blankets and couch cushions were full of white dog hair. Our clothes were covered and it was hard not to track the fur to the bedrooms and our cars. I did let the host know this was a bigger issue for us. Over I believe this place would be a nice place to visit in the summer with your family and pets

Relaxing and Quiet Stay
Enjoyed a quiet and chilled trip with a couple of family members and my dog! We stayed put once we got to the lake house with only a couple of trips to the grocery. There are plenty of outdoor spaces for enjoying the water views, and my dog had a ball with all the swimming and fetching! Pam is an excellent host and quick to respond! The neighbor’s dog greeted us and would stop by on occasion to make sure all was okay!😁 Would definitely come back to this rental property!

Our stay was great, the house was nice, great location, kayaks a huge plus, and it was nice they had normal condiments, oil, etc. Other places don’t provide the basics which is frustrating but they had it all.

Family reunion and football
We loved the property inside and out. The location was near many restaurants and other attractions! A short trip to Auburn for a football game was the icing on the cake for our extended weekend! Finally, our host Pam went above and beyond in her care and attention to our family! We would definitely like to return here for another family reunion!

Perfect Lake Martin Rental House!
We thoroughly enjoyed our first (but not last) trip to Lake Martin at this house....it had everything we wanted and more! This was a multi generational family get away to celebrate the end of the summer and multiple birthdays. The house was perfect--we absolutely loved the screened porch and the shed filled with kayaks, tubes, life jackets, everything we needed. The host was very accommodating and communication was timely and very easy. We loved the water hammock and floating dock! My son who turned 14 on this trip was ecstatic to be able to bring his dog, our yellow lab, on the trip with us. We would definitely stay here again!

Yard overgrown not cut, could not use the yard for yard games. The exterior of the house had several spider webs that could be easily cleaned or taken off and both front and rear porch needed to be cleaned. Access to the water was great, the deck was also great.

Wonderful house. The yards were filled with beautifully filled with blooming flowers. Then the view from the screened porch was what you go on vacation for, relaxing. The morning were my favorite. The sunrise on the docks just sitting and giving thanks. The owner was easy to communicate with. She gave some helpful hints about the area. Would love to go back . This was just what I needed.
