Note: there is a gradual decline from the parking spot to the front of the house and there is a stone pathway that is uneven in some places due to natural stone. We do not recommend renting if you have difficulty walking as this is an old cabin that has been renovated and we strive to keep the natural charm and feel via unique landscaping. Additionally there are 2 steps in to front door and about 10 steps from back porch to the boat dock. Please do not rent if you have trouble walking up or down 1-10 steps.

Note: Boat is not included. Covered boat slip is also not available for use; however, boats can be tied to the dock from two points for any docking needs.

Note: Boats in photos & on property not included in rental but you are welcome to bring your own & tie at the dock. Enjoy the big water view on this cabin which is located on the beautiful Lake Martin, Alabama.

Note: only two parking spaces available. Additional parking available in grassy area available on first come first serve basis, as that area is shared with the community and is park at your own risk. Public boat ramp and public boat and trailer parking is available first come first serve nearby (approximately 10-15 minutes away).

Note: water levels are lowered in the fall and winter by Alabama Power via the Lake Martin Dam. The full pool level during the warm months at Lake Martin is 491 mean sea level (msl) and then starts to decline beginning September 1st. Sometimes, changes will keep the high summer of 491 msl for up to an additional six weeks longer, extending full pool into October. Please visit lakeMartin.com for water level information.

So so
House was clean inside but we had problems with the door locking when we would leave. Also shower in master bath would leak water onto hardwood floors. It looked liked the glass partition had never been sealed on bottom. Exterior of house had cobwebs in corners and very unsafe slag rock to walk from car to house at uneven angles. Not ideal for older(65+)

Great View - Well Appointed
Great Property! Great Host! This place has everything you need. Lovely decor, interesting art, and A+++ Kitchen! Comfortable Beds and pillows galore! We really enjoyed the wonderfully deep bathtub and HOT HOT water. 3 stars on cleaning because the couches were badly stained and the thick spider webs on the outside of the windows. I would definitely stay here again!

Oh What A View
We stayed at Big Water View from June 26 - June 29, 2024. The lake house was very clean and had all the amenities anyone would need for their stay. The view from the back deck was the highlight of the stay. We spent much of our time on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and eating lunches and dinners. It was perfect to simply stare out at the lake and take your mind off of everything. The owner did a great job of communicating and was more than accommodating when we decided to add an additional day. This is a great lake house to spend a weekend or a week. We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful and cozy lake home
The house was beautifully decorated, warm and inviting, with stunning views of the lake right when you walk in the front door. We loved enjoying the large deck off of the living room and the dock is right off of the deck stairs. We cooked the majority of the time we were there and loved using the beautiful and high-tech kitchen. Everything was well stocked (coffee k cups, seasonings, plenty of toilet paper, towels, and toiletries). Owner responded to messages quickly and was very accommodating with check in/check out times. 5 stars, we would love to come stay again!!

Best View on the Lake
Stayed in John's house for 5 days alone just to totally unplug. Its an adorable, cozy and yet updated cabin with an extraordinary view of the lake. Been coming to Lake Martin since 1982 and the location by land and water is ideally convenient to everything you'd want to do. Will rent again!

Awesome view!
We had a wonderful stay at this place on Lake Martin. Big water view without being directly on a main channel. Just a few minutes by boat to a couple restaurants (Kowliga and The Social). Weather wasn’t great while we were there so it limited our time out on the lake. However, the views from this place still made the trip worth it. Can’t get more on the water than this place! Water was clear, can see and walk down a couple steps to the sandy bottom, cute little beach right next door. Could see a lot of fish swimming around the dock, ducks came by to hang out a few times a day, and a couple turtles. The beach is for the neighborhood so on the weekend there were families playing there, but very quiet during the week. We docked our boat at the house a few days, very easy access to do so. I didn’t need to contact the host for anything which was nice! We exchanged a few introductory messages and the host quickly responded. There is no freezer in the house, only two small fridges and a nice ice maker, but there was a deep freezer below the deck. That worked for our needs, just a bit of a surprise to start with. Air conditioner worked GREAT! Important to mention since it got so hot while we were there :) Highly recommend this place.

Great view and swimming area
The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The property has a community private beach next door and serves as a great swimming area. The water is nice and clear on this side of the lake and the lake bottom is sandy, which is nice compared to red clay mud. The unit could use a deep cleaning but it was not too bad. The dock is large enough for a 22’ boat to dock on the deeper side of the dock. The metal dock and deck furniture could be upgraded. Great restaurants nearby and easy access to them by boat or car. Parking is a little tricky since there are only two small parking spots but there is additional grassy spots to park across from the property as a first come first serve basis. Overall a great vacation and nice little lake cabin retreat. With a little updating and cleaning it could be even better. The host John is very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. Amazing sunrises from the back deck and you can take a short boat ride out of the cove to watch the amazing sunsets to the west. Missing the lake already!!!

Rustic charm and Modern comforts
The Lake house was exactly what I was hoping for and a good bit more! Though remodeled, the old school charm has been retained, but with many modern comforts like cold AC, High speed internet, hot showers, and 2 functioning bathrooms. The interior space is small, yet oddly spacious. The appliances were all of a higher grade than most vacation rentals where I have stayed. The ice maker was tops! My favorites were the shallow sandy beach for the grandkids. A place to tie up the ski boat at the dock, and internet for the teens… The place is fairly secluded, tucked into a small bay. We enjoyed the peace and quiet there. Saw lots of wildlife like lake turtles, large bass fish, and ducks. My only complaint was a good bit of poison ivy growing near the lower deck area. A groundskeeper should eliminate it before someone's kid gets in it. I would return here in a heartbeat!

The outside deck was dirty. Cushions old and furniture was old and everything was dirty outside. Most chairs did not have cushions and chaise lounges were just metal- very uncomfortable. Watch out for hidden fees- additional fee $400 and no one could ever tell me what that was for
