We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space on the dock to swim and keep our boat in the water throughout the stay. Free public boat ramp about 10 minutes away by car and by boat. House was perfect for our crew. Would stay here again.

Gorgeous views and beautifully decorated cabin!

We enjoyed our stay with our daughters and their friends. Plenty of space to gather whether it was inside, on the screened in porch or the pier. The cabin was decorated nicely and had updated appliances. Ample parking. The dock was brand new. We had plenty of room to tie up our wake surf boat and still enjoy swimming. We would stay here again and again! Absolutely loved it!

Fall family weekend

We had such a great time and this house/ location/ property were perfect! Check in is simple. Mrs. Laura is so kind and quick to respond to any questions . The property is pretty flat with just a step or two, loved this for my mom and dad. Kayaks were a great extra! My favorite had to be the screened porch and it's great view for morning coffee. And the firewood that had been there for us to enjoy !!!! Such a great time!!

Wonderful Property with Gorgeous Views

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. We so enjoyed this house for many reasons. The location and views are amazing! The house was very clean and organized. The owners were organized and had a notebook with helpful information. Additionally, they provided everything one might need while at the lake (bandaids, sunscreen, bug spray, etc). We even had towels so we didn’t have to use our own. To add to all of this, the owners are very kind people. This made the experience even better. It’s very obvious they take great care of this home and their guests. We would love to return to this lovely home. It was a great way to unwind and enjoy time with each other!

This is the place you want to stay

We are from Colorado and it was our first trip to Alabama. We chose Lake Martin because my friend lives there and raves about the lake. It didn't disappoint and the house made it perfect. I would stay at this house again and again and again...The house is quiet and quaint. The lake is in a location with little boat traffic, it is quiet, and I found the lake to be not so busy even on a weekend. Brink your portable speaker because there is no speaker or portable stereo. The bedrooms are all very nice. We had 7--mom, dad, and 5 kids from 15-22 years old. We had plenty of space. The enclosed porch is great. The new dock is awesome. The yard is plush and large. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of bugs and mosquitos. The frogs are entertaining. The lake water is super warm and calm in early June. In June, sun is on the water and dock from 8am-5pm. Proximity to stores, restaurants, and marinas was 10-15 minutes. Drinking water from the faucet was not so great, but filtered water was fine. Improvements: 1-2 small tables for the dock; replace wooden deck (I know it is in the plans); add a ladder to the dock to get out of the water more easily; put some texture on rock steps to give them better traction and safety; add shampoo in the showers. These are all minor items that did not detract from our stay.

Cameron, Thank you for the kind review. We are so glad your time was enjoyable.. We appreciate your thoughts on minor improvements. We’ve already gotten a quote for a ladder to connect to the dock and the deck is next on the project list. Thanks for making the trip from Colorado to stay at The Cabin in The Cove.

Our go to for our annual Lake Martin trip. Nice flat grass yard for the kids to play. Plenty of room to tie up the two boats we bring. Quiet area of the cove makes swimming dock side super enjoyable. House is comfy and has great views. Can’t wait for next year!

This is a beautiful house with a great view. The house was clean and had everything we needed, from towels to cooking utensils. The hosts were very nice and communicated well and have anticipated everything you need for an enjoyable time at the lake. If you are looking for a house at Lake Martin, you will not be disappointed.
