What an amazing home! Everything was just perfect. House was fully stocked from, bed linens to bath towels to disposable hand towels. Laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, hand soaps and dish soap. They even supplied little travel shampoo bottles! The fullly stocked kitchen making cooking a breeze! Everything was thought of, no detail forgotten!
The view and the quiet cove and awesome dock views made for an unforgettable 2 week stay.
We had a storm that took out power out, our host was very communicative making sure to send me her text updates as she got them.
I have nothing negative to say about this stay. Would definitely love to come again!!

This is our fourth time staying at this property. It’s absolutely perfect. Location, cleanliness, everything about it. The host is very nice, prompt to respond, and accommodating. We look forward to many more summers of staying here. This is our favorite summer vacation staying at this house.

The property was as advertised! Plenty of space for our family group of 7. This home had all of the amenities you would need to make a great vacation. The kitchen was designed and stocked by folks who know how to cook. The living room views of the lake were beautiful. The upstairs rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, and the bathrooms were very nice. The downstairs rooms were spacious, again, comfortable beds, and the added A/C units made for a cozy place to sleep.
The outside areas were very nice to just sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. The dock area was great, as I personally spent many hours out there fishing, swimming, or just sitting and enjoying the water. The walk down to the lake was easy, as our older parents could make the walk with no trouble at all.
As a word of caution, the driveway is a bit steep and the parking is limited. I recommend parking in the grass on the side of the house to load/unload your bags and groceries.
Alexander City has many grocery stores, fast food joints, restaurants or anything else you may need, and it’s an easy 15-17 minute drive.
I also recommend Wind Creek State Park for boat rentals. My wife and I drove to the marina there (about 20 minutes), rented a pontoon boat, then drove the boat to the house to pick up everyone else. We spent an entire afternoon exploring the lake and it was worth it.
This was a great place to stay, and we plan on coming back.

Even though it rained the first three days, we were cozy and comfortable inside this beautiful home. The kitchen is very well stocked. The beds are comfortable and the laundry has a full-size washer and dryer. The outdoor area was large and offered fantastic views of the lake. Could not ask for anything better!!

My husband and I came here to escape the January cold and gloom and got perfect weather with plenty of sunshine. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and Susan has thoughtfully stocked it with everything you need. We enjoyed the spectacular views from the kitchen, living room, and bedroom. The kitchen was a dream (and I don’t cook)! The dock gave my husband easy access to his boat and he enjoyed fishing on Lake Martin while I enjoyed it from the deck. Can’t wait to return in a different season.

The home was everything we were looking for, a perfect home for my family. Susan was so accommodating and responsive to my emails. It was exceptional clean, wonderfully decorated, comfortable beds, it had all of the amenities you could ask for in the kitchen, perfect location and beautifully maintained. The home is in a nice and quiet area, fantastic views from the deck of the lake and surrounding area. We had an awesome stay, I highly recommend this home and will be looking to book another it again the next time we visit Lake Martin.

Wow! Beautiful home, beautiful setting. The amenities were great. My family and I were able to really relax and enjoy the long weekend. Whether grilling in the outdoor kitchen or fixing a meal in the spacious indoor kitchen we had everything we needed. Clean? Everything was super clean! We hope to come back and stay again in the future. Thank you Susan for everything.

LOVE the renovation! Was a little sad about no TV in the bedroom any longer but had brought our computer and streamed on it.

We had a great time, fantastic house!
Our only feedback is -- it would be awesome if there were a set of smaller salad/dessert plates (we found we had to run dishwasher 2x/day so we had plates to use for breakfast/dinner, & had to eat lunch off of paper towels). And the queen room was harder to get around- would almost prefer no headboard/footboard so it was easier to get in/out! :)
Overall had a GREAT stay though and no complaints!

This house is recently renovated and is great for a family with adult children to go to. The bottom level was great for my daughter and her husband and their two dogs! The fact that this lovely property is dog friendly is an added bonus. We hope to come back soon!

Beautiful property with great views of the lake, spacious interior, & easy access to the water for floating, swimming & fishing off the dock. Nice area too. As a group of all ladies we felt very safe & appreciated close proximity to town for any supplies.

This property is nearly perfect. The owner is so thoughtful to provide the basic necessities and so much more. We usually cook most meals, and find that most kitchens are minimally stocked at best. This kitchen was fully stocked, and included plenty of cleaning supplies. They thought of everything! The beds were all comfortable, the deck chairs amazing and the decor very tasteful. The property is at the end of a beautiful, quiet cove, and even on a football weekend remained peaceful. Susan was quickly responsive to every question and request. Thank you for a great weekend! We look forward to returning.

Susan’s home was perfect for our family. The gorgeous, open water view can be enjoyed from the kitchen, deck & dock. We especially loved the grill/TV & eating area outside. The instructions for fans, TV, thermostat were easy & helpful. The beds, oh so comfortable! Susan has special touches throughout the home making it so cozy! She also includes a few “starter” amenities such as dish washing liquid, coffee, sugar, spices, etc… the little things of convenience that make a stay more enjoyable. We also connected to bluetooth on the dock to play our music. : ) Our only regrets were not having cool enough nights to enjoy the fire pit, and we never got to break in the corn hole set ; ) . Thank you, Susan, for your immediate, kind correspondence & for sharing your home with our family!

Great View
Great view easy access. Boat parking for bigger boats can be an a little tricky at the top of the hill just have to be careful. Stairs are a little steep but overall great time and great place. Would recommend.

Disaster trip
The owner of this home lied outright about the property and her follow up. I reached out to the owner and asked very specifically if the house was in a quiet area and was told (I have documentation) that it was surrounded by older people and permanent residences.
This is not true. The neighbor directly next to them is a party house with a young 20 year old who plays loud music and has her very drunk friends behaving obnoxiously enough that the police were out repeatedly. There is a police report on file for May 14-15th for Mallard Rd with the Alex City police if you want this information verified. The owner also lied and said the police were only called once and the neighbors shut down. If you pull the report you will see the police told the neighbors after the 4th visit the would start arresting people for trespassing, terroristic threats and so forth. The neighbors were over banging on the house after the police were called. Also the house does not have working lights in the back yard, so you cannot see who is out there. This is the only reason arrests were not made, people could not be specifically identified. The door in the basement does not bolt, so we put beds in front of the doors and windows so the neighbors could not enter. We contacted the owner a number of times about what was happening. The owner offered us another property but when we urgently asked for the code, she did not respond ack until we were gone the next day, claiming she had a surgery and took medication that made her pass out. Hmmmm. The owner also claims this has never happened before but I can tell you this house looks like a party house and given the other lies, I highly doubt this is true. Thank goodness the police in the area do their job or someone could have been hurt.
VRBO and the owner refunded 1 night without any fees and we were only able to use the house for 1 night of 4. Beware, she will lie and is extremely defensive about this but still unwilling to do the right thing.
The house is fine, nothing super special but not bad. If it is quiet next door you would probably be fine with the property if she fixes the door and lights.

Lake Martin - Jackson's Gap
The house sits on a perfect spot on the lake, at the back end of a cove, so your views are straight out to the big water. You have great views with plenty of seating from both the upper porch, which is covered, and also the lower covered porch. It's great for swimming and floating around as well, since there isn't a lot boat traffic to worry about and there is a large covered section on the doc with a table and chairs, in case you want to get out of the sun. It's a great lake property overall and the Property Manager, Susan, is one of the most responsive and nicest property owners I've dealt with on VRBO.

Short Stay but Great Accommodations
Nice place! Peaceful side of lake. Very nice accommodations. My boys appreciated the high tech TV and other controls.
Back porch deck was a great place to relax and play games..... or visit.
Overall enjoyable visit of 3 nights.... even with some inclement weather.

Excellent, looking forward to next year
Even though the weather was not the best, there where plenty of outdoor amenities to keep everybody entertained. Close Marina to splash
your boat and dock supplies needed hardware to tie off and play around.

Great place on Lake Martin
My favorite place was at the kitchen sink - the view of the lake was incredible! Nice dock area for our boat with marina close by. Master bed was very comfortable. Loved having both a normal coffee pot and a Keurig. We used both.
