For those of us who live on the shores of Lake Martin, we see, feel, smell, taste and live the majesty of this beautiful lake. One only has to view its beauty and awesomeness from places like the Kowaliga bridge, the Smith Mountain Fire Tower, the lookout at the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail head, and Acapulco Rock to know what a treasure we have in this east-central part of Alabama. If you are a golfer, there is nothing more beautiful than the view from the course at Willow Point. If you are a fisherman, there is nothing more satisfying or peaceful than sitting quietly in a calm slough waiting on the big one to bite; or, if you are a skier or wake boarder, there is plenty of large open water on which to practice your skills. We are truly blessed! I recall that it was said in the 1950s and 1960s that Lake Martin was 99.9% pure and free of harmful chemicals. For many of us, Lake Martin is home, where we have raised families, earned livings, enjoyed the recreation that the lake provides and just enjoyed life. For these and many other reasons, we call Lake Martin a treasure.

In 2010, Governor Bob Riley signed an executive order designating Lake Martin “A Treasured Alabama Lake.” This designation simply put the stamp of approval on what we already knew. Lake Martin was the first Alabama Lake with this distinction. The TAL designation provides a level of protection for generations to come, but it does not unduly restrict development around the lake. It does require strong environmental considerations in the future.

This is an outstanding vacation home and I would highly recommend the Bayou Lodge. We had 18 of us ranging in age from 1 to 70. Having a boat or renting one is highly recommended as the home has an awesome dock with slips just feet from the house. The owners who live nearby went above and beyond in insuring that our week there was awesome. Made some wonderful memories!

We had 6 families, 23 in total, and no one felt crowded - decks were spacious with lots of seating, game room had so much (kids just loved it) - location was amazing, easy to get to, lots of safe areas for kids to swim, paddle board, and kayak. The kids claimed the fire pit area as “their” dinner place. There was so much seating. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked with glasses and plates. There are three sets of washer/dryers. Two dishwashers in main kitchen ( there are 3 kitchens), so many trash cans including out on porches. We’ve already booked our stay for next year. The ramp to launch boats is less than 5 minutes away. Parking at the house is more than ample. There are 5 refrigerators!! There is a full grocery 10 miles away, a bait shop even closer, an amazing ice cream place and pizza place within 10 minutes. My family will be talking about this trip for years and we are so looking forward to next year. Thank you for this place and allowing us to rent it

There were 16 of us ranging from a 3 month old to an 83 year old. Beautiful setting, lovely and spacious home. We had plenty of room to spread out. The multiple decks and dock area are perfect. There was a breeze all week on the deck, even though the weather was in the 90’s. Our youngest 3-1/2 and 5 made great strides learning to swim and learning to fish. We made great use of the floating rafts, kayaks and canoes. The views overlooking the lake were perfect! Given the opportunity, we will definitely stay there again.

It’s a beautiful home in a great location. Lots of rooms and plenty on 1st floor for older family members. It was a great experience for our family and the host was awesome!!! Everything was very clean and well kept! Need more bath towels per room. We had to wash frequently. Plan on buying ice. There are only fridge ice makers and only 2 work. They are planning on buying a commercial ice maker which will be perfect!! GREAT VACATION! GREAT STAY!!

Our family had an absolutely amazing time at the Bayou Lodge! The house is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I can’t say enough great things about it, our kids had so much fun catching bream off the pier, canoeing, kayaking, jumping off chicken rock was such a thrill, tubing all over the lake, jet skiing, and just swimming hanging out. Definitely a 10/10 experience and we look forward to staying again!
