LOCATION:
Look no further for a fantastic place to play and relax--for a weekend, a week, or longer. Located on the eastern side of Lake Martin, 1.5 miles outside of Dadeville city limits, and only 3 miles from Still Waters Resort. Also, this property is less than one minute by boat, or ten minutes by car, to Smith Mountain, which opened in the summer of 2011. At Smith Mountain, you can hike to the top of Smith Mountain and climb its historic and newly restored Fire Tower. On a clear day there is a 50 mile view!

The property is only one hour from Montgomery, two hours from Atlanta, 75 minutes from Birmingham, and 25 minutes from Auburn. Numerous great restaurants are only a few minutes away. Enjoy comfort and convenience like nowhere else. In fact, you cannot be anywhere else on the lake, and be as close to Auburn and Atlanta. This property is ideal for two, or three families, or three or four couples, wanting to share expenses and fun! CHILDREN, OF COURSE, ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!!!!! This outstanding 1400' peninsula waterfront property is actually four lake lots combined into a "one of a kind" lake property. It looks out on spectacular south, west, and north facing BIG WATER views of Lake Martin. You literally can see for several miles. Plus, you enjoy end-of-the road privacy as well!

There are two large piers. They have the reputation of being two of THE BEST fishing piers in the entire eastern part of Lake Martin. The piers' year round deep water is what bass, bream, catfish, and crappie just love. Many a huge stringer of fish has been caught from them. The pier directly in front of the house is partially covered and furnished with tables and chairs, ceiling fans with lights, and electrical outlets, allowing for daytime or nighttime enjoyment! This property includes a large, private, 18' wide concrete boat ramp and launch area with a boat docking pier in a protected cove on the north side of the peninsula. The gentle slope of the boat ramp makes it an ideal wading and swimming area for your little ones. The property is also only 1/4 mile from a public boat ramp as well, which can be used, if needed, in the late fall and winter when the lake water level is lower. The pier in front of the house has a 16x16 floating dock with stairs that is great for swimming and sunbathing. Also, a 6' X 18' floating water pad is available for group fun!!! For you fitness minded folks there is a private roadway encompassing the spectacular peninsula point which is perfect for walking or jogging. The house is fully furnished, including washer, dryer, three TVs with cable and DVDs. Wi-Fi also available. Bed and bath linens are provided. The kitchen and walk-in pantry are stocked with all essential appliances, cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. The two story home includes on ground level the master bedroom with private bath and laundry area, eat-in kitchen, dining and family room, and second bath. On the upper level, there are three bedrooms, a third bath, a kitchenette, and a screened-in porch. The porch is the perfect place for babies and toddlers to play in safety and in shade.

The house sleeps ten very comfortably. The MBR has a king-sized bed, the second BR has a queen sized bed, the third BR has two twin beds, and the fourth BR has three twin beds, and the kitchenette is furnished with a roll-away bed. There are both covered, as well as uncovered patio areas. The patio areas are furnished with three tables which seat 12, a bar/pub table with bar stools, a sofa glider, and seven patio chairs. There is an electric and a charcoal grill. Firepit, 3-person "porch" swing, and hammock are other outdoor amenities. Board and card games are on hand.

KAYAKS ARE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE!!!! Up to Seven individuals can simultaneously enjoy leisurely exploring Lake Martin in our six kayaks! Two kayaks are a two-person kayak---perfect for a "romantic" outing!!! A paddle boat is also available!

A BOATHOUSE with a capacity for docking four watercraft as well as an 8 x 12 floating dock was just built in the spring of 2023. The boathouse is on the north side of the peninsula, adjacent to the 18-foot wide boat ramp. There is also a "fish cleaning station" with the boathouse, which has electrical outlet and city water----perfect for cleaning that "mess" of fish you catch! Additional parking area was added in 2023 also.

Great outdoor space!
We had 10 adults stay comfortably with plenty of towels and blankets. I appreciated the little things, fully stocked kitchen(including keurig, crockpot, reg coffee pot with filters), plenty of towels and washcloths. 2 tables to seat us all in kitchen and outdoor tables we ate on as well. Extra chairs outside to pull up to tables too. I also appreciated my 2 -80 year old parents could sit comfortably outside(no steps)and could go to dock easily. The outdoor space is worth it. Perfect for the elderly. Lots of covered seating with umbrellas and cushions in good condition. She had blown off all leaves outside and had it nice on arrival. Nice dock seating as well. We fished off the dock, rented a boat and docked it there. We had a bonfire and grilled. Things to note: home has 1 king bed downstairs, all the rest of the beds upstairs. The room set up upstairs is a large bunk area with 3 twins overlooking screened porch, 2 twin connecting to that bedroom and a separate queen room. We all shared one bathroom upstairs. So the screened porch is less accessible with the bedroom right there and stairs or hill to get to it for the elderly. This setup would be ideal for kids upstairs and one set of parents. The home is older with unique quirky decor and paneling, but you can tell well kept and loved by the owner and repeat guests. I grew to appreciate all the paintings and signs throughout our stay. The fixtures and bathrooms are 1970s as pictured, but everything was in working order.

Beautiful lakefront access
We greatly enjoyed our family get together. The outside view and lake access were wonderful and the fish were definitely biting! Our boys fished until midnight and caught 30 or so fish! Kayaks were included and were great! We also enjoyed building a bonfire in the fire pit with the abundant wood provided. We took our 2 dogs and they had so much fun being allowed off leash to run and explore the large yard and woods surrounded on 3 sides by water. Great rental!! Thank you Marsha and Jerry for sharing your awesome property with us!

Great Lake front property!!
This was a great property with great amenities! The covered pier was a lifesaver (with 2 infants) while the kids swam there was a place to sit out of the sun!!(the pier had ceiling fans also—yay!!) The kayaks were an added treat!! The yard was fairly flat and there were no stairs you had climb down to get to the pier. It was a really beautiful setting!! The inside was adequate. It was clean. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked! The master bedroom was very nice.

First of all Marsha and Jerry Hanks are just so friendly and accommodating! The rental property has it all! House is exactly as seen via internet. All the comforts of home including big screen tvs and fully equipped kitchen. The property has been thoughtfully landscaped with several areas to gather or to find a quiet spot to read. Could go on and on with nothing but good things to say about this stay! Best compliment I can give is that everyone voted to return next year!

Graduation celebration weekend
The outdoor feature of this property is by far 5 stars - you are right on the water with plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit which we used two nights of our stay. The indoors is delightfully eclectic, retro and fun with plenty of room to eat, lounge and sleep. The only caution would be if you are trying to cook meals, the appliances are quite dated and you will need to take that into account. Otherwise, it was fantastic - great location!

perfect stay, as expected
everything about the stay was perfect, as expected. To be clear, the home is pretty dated and is probably a "new" home in the '80s, but there's nothing missing from it and it served our needs perfectly. The master bedroom is on the "main" level, which is the lower level, but it worked well for us since the inhabitants of that room had the elderly dog that couldn't go up stairs anyway. The remaining bedrooms are in the upper level, which is actually closer to the parking level, if you want to go in that way. The property is huge, and very peaceful and private. They're currently building the boathouse for those of you who want to bring or rent a boat. win-win. Only complaint i have is the upper level bathroom shower head is located at about 5' above the floor, so you have to duck down to get your head wet and shower. But otherwise it was a perfect stay! I've stayed at about a half dozen lake houses on Martin for AU games and this is in my top 2. Thanks!

We arrived on a Tuesday and stayed through Friday. We did not want to leave. The home was so comfortable and the beds were like sleeping on clouds. The description of the property is not an exaggeration. The hosts were great. I was able to meet Marsha and her husband. Marsha is an absolute joy to talk to. It's like she doesn't meet a stranger. She was very accommodating. I can completely understand why her property is continously rented out. People will always come back to the wonderful hospitality! Thank you Marsha! Hope to see you again soon.

Wonderful lakefront retreat!
I can’t say enough great things about this classic, nostalgic lakefront home! Lots of room for 2 families! The 2 sets of parents had a room to ourselves and the teenagers each had a twin bed and their own space to hang out in. Beautiful views of the lake, easy to find by car, covered dock and floating dock to tie the boat up to, & another fishing pier on the property too! My husband was grateful to be able to use the on site boat ramp as well. Fully equipped with literally EVERYTHING you need! Just bring yourselves and your groceries. Marsha and Jerry are so nice, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. Super hosts!! Can’t wait to go back! We had a wonderful time!

Auburn University Graduation Weekend
This home is a perfect location for everything Auburn! It was about a 30-40 minute drive into Auburn for our commencement ceremonies. The home is easy to find, GPS is right on the money. We booked in early August of last year and our anticipation was not in vain. Lovely property with well maintained home. The beds have brand new mattresses and the multiple twin beds were perfect for the comings and going's of our young adults. There was plenty of space for friends and family to gather for the after party! The patio and dock areas were just perfect for the beautiful day we were blessed with. Plenty of outdoor seating. The fire pit area was perfect for evenings outside roasting hot dogs and s'mores. The Hanks (owners) have stocked the pantry with plenty of serving ware and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pots and pans. The extra fridge upstairs really came in handy! We did have an issue with the air, but they were prompt to return messages and it was taken care of next day. The young adults in our group enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat while the youngest of us enjoyed the swim mat. We all did swim even though the water was a bit chilly. The fishing was fun, especially bobber fishing for bream in the evenings. And the sunsets are amazing. We are already planning to visit this lovely home again! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Hanks for sharing your beautiful place with us. It was the perfect setting to celebrate our girl!

This is a terrific place at a great location. The pier has just been expanded & provides a wonderful setup to enjoy being on the lake, even though it is currently way down. Great plusses: plenty of room, both inside & outside; no hill to go up & down; fantastic views both upstairs & downstairs; plenty of chairs & tables on the Lake level; owner great to work with. Minus: upstairs kitchen had no utensils or cooking equipment. Overall: a great place that we hope to visit again.

Total lake life vibe!
This house is a great location, on the best part of the lake, and a terrific layout for plenty of people to sleep and enjoy time on beautiful Lake Martin. The docks are great and the ramp was a nice feature. If you're bringing your own boat, don't pull all the way up to the house, as it's past the ramp. Plenty of parking and lots of room. The patio was our favorite spot all weekend aside from the docks and our boat. Everybody slept well and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms for all. We had two families come together to celebrate a couple of birthdays and it was a terrific time. We cruised, wakeboarded, tubed, hung out and made quesadillas one evening, a big two-pot shrimp boil another evening, and we even watched some football on the big TV downstairs. The picture was excellent. We will definitely be back again. Marsha is a marvelous host!
