About this house rental

For rentals during my winter shutdown period (Oct 15-April 1), I will consider renting to PAST GUESTS WITH MORE THAN 2 PREVIOUS RENTALS AT SUMMERHAVEN. Please message or contact the Owner directly to determine availability and significantly discounted price.

Enjoy your stay at our spacious three bedroom three full bath cabin, tucked away on a 1-1/2 acre wooded lot, with wonderful lake views and clear water. The beautifully designed cabin has over 200 ft. of white sand beach, magnificent rock walls, covered pier, floating pier, and huge screened patio with exposed wood beam ceilings. There is an additional unscreened open air covered deck to enjoy for sunning or outdoor dining. The screened deck offers plenty of space to enjoy outside dining and comfortable seating while sitting under ceiling fans. The private covered pier offers a cool place out of the sun, where you can fish for bass, catfish, stripers, or crappie. There are two porch swings on the pier to provide comfortable seating and a spot to relax.

Our three bedrooms (one king, one queen, and two twins) are spacious, each with a private bathroom and wonderful lake or forest views. Easy access throughout the cabin is provided by: a ramp to the front door, lever handles on all interior doors, tile / hardwood floors, lift chair, and extra wide doors. The open floor plan consists of: a 20’ x 35’. living and dining area, 55" DISH satellite TV, 65+ movie library, DVD, and board games. The great room adjoins the open kitchen to form a large gathering area, with beautiful views of the lake and grounds. The kitchen features electric appliances with granite countertops. The kitchen is stocked with all cooking utensils. There is plenty of seating to accommodate dining either indoors or outdoors. Don't forget to bring marshmallows or the fixings for s'mores. The firepit is a great place to toast marshmallows, tell stories, or sing songs. A private sandy gently sloping beach into clear water makes it perfect for young and old alike.

We are conveniently located on the south side of the lake and are within 10 minutes of Catherine's Market, Kowaliga Restaurant, Anchor Bay Marina, Kowaliga Marina, Fanny Goldmine Diner, and Martin Dam. Nearby towns offer plenty of shopping, hiking, and sightseeing. We are located 50 miles from Montgomery, 40 miles from Auburn University, 95 miles from Birmingham, and about 2 1/2 hours from Atlanta. The nearest place to launch private boats and rent pontoon boats/kayaks is Anchor Bay Marina which is about 2 miles from Summer Haven. A video of this Marina is in the photo section of this listing.

Lake Martin water levels are controlled by a hydroelectric dam. Water is lowered by 10 ft. in the winter. This lowering begins on Oct 15 at about 2 ft. per month. The water starts to rise on Feb 20 and is back up to full pool by May 1. Great bass fishing starts in November. The fishing is still great and we have a floating pier with stairs! The best time for trophy striped bass fishing is February to May. Lake Martin is an 'Alabama Treasured Lake' and is now on the 'Alabama Bass Trail'. Lake Martin is popular for bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striped bass, crappie, bream, and catfish.

Just completed our third consecutive stay at Summer Haven and for the third consecutive time it was an extraordinarily wonderful experience. Everything works! AC cools, lights light,ice maker makes ice, drains drain, etc. Everything is clean and tidy. Private beach access to the lake is fantastic. Owner and property manager responsive and helpful. A “must stay “.

The views were AMAZING! The weather was disappointing, but the cabin was a cozy place to look out over the water, even through the damp conditions. We were in town for a family wedding at a nearby venue. The cabin was clean and well-appointed. The kitchen had good cookware and plenty of dishes and flatware for all. Living area was spacious and comfortable.
