Nero's Point Lake Martin Home
This home was thoughtfully designed to showcase the stunning views of Lake Martin and the surrounding woods while providing exceptional privacy from neighboring homes during the summer months. The expansive great room spans approximately 20' x 38' extending from the kitchen at one end to a fireplace at the other. The open floor plan is ideal for family gatherings. A 24‑foot vaulted ceiling with stained wood beams stretches across the width of the house, The A‑frame wall facing the lake features floor‑to‑ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, offering breathtaking views of the lake, trees, and sky.
The kitchen is fully equipped for your stay. The coffee maker accommodates both K‑cups and a traditional carafe (round filters required).
This three‑bedroom, two‑bath home comfortably sleeps nine guests. The master suite includes a king bed and private bath. The second bedroom features a king bed and one twin bed, while the third bedroom offers two twin beds. The second bathroom is conveniently located between these two bedrooms. Additional sleeping options in the loft include a queen sleeper sofa, one youth bed, A queen Aero Bed is available -stored in the laundry room allowing for a maximum occupancy of 12. A pack‑n‑play is also available.
The loft (29' x 14') includes a ping‑pong table and a 65" smart TV viewing area. Wireless internet is provided. The laundry room, equipped with a washer and dryer, is located in a separate room at one end of the loft. At the opposite end, you’ll find two sofas and a TV; one sofa converts into a queen sleeper. Please note that while a wall blocks the view of the sofa from the great room, the loft remains an open space. (See photos.)
We have equipped the rental property with two smart TVs, each fitted with an Amazon Firestick. To use your personal streaming accounts, you can use the 'Guest Connect' feature on the Firestick, which will sign you out automatically after your stay. If you prefer, you are also welcome to bring your own Firestick or Roku device to connect to the TVs. Just remember to reconnect the owners’ firestick device and take your device with you when you leave.
Outdoor living is enhanced by a large deck across the front of the home and smaller covered decks on both sides. The main deck includes perimeter seating, a dining table with six chairs, four Adirondack chairs, and a gas grill. Gates are installed on the side decks and at the top of the stairs leading to the lake to help keep children and pets safely contained. (See photos.)
A spacious pier at the end of the boardwalk offers deep water on one side for mooring boats, while the opposite side features shallow water ideal for children to swim and play. A floating dock provides easy access to watercraft during full pool and as water levels gradually lower in the fall. During full pool, there is space for docking for 2-3 boats or jet skis. From late fall through early spring, lower water levels may prevent boat docking.
The home is conveniently located within approximately 35–40 miles of military bases in Montgomery, Auburn University for football games, and the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Prattville. By car or boat, guests can easily reach Catherine’s Market, SpringHouse Restaurant, and numerous other dining options located at marinas around the lake. Seasonal concerts and fourth of July fireworks are also accessible by boat or car.
Lake Martin Security patrols the area and can be contacted for any security concerns. They also respond to the home’s alarm system if activated. Additional security features include an alarm system and three exterior Ring cameras: one motion‑activated camera at the deck entry, one at the front door, and one near the kitchen door facing the lake. There are no cameras inside the home. The alarm system includes window and door sensors and is monitored by Ring Security. Instructions for arming and disarming the system, as well as self‑entry instructions, will be provided. Keys are available in a lockbox.
This is a pet friendly home with a small fee for one or two pets.
This home has been on the rental market since 2009 and has consistently received excellent ratings. For the past seven years, we were fortunate to have several long‑term renters, all of whom moved on after purchasing their own lake homes. We are now pleased to offer the property once again for short‑term rentals.

Better than pictures
Pictures do not do this justice! We spent most of our time on the front deck or in the water by the pier. Really nice that the house is at the end of a cul-de-sac with no boat traffic. Perfect for children or dogs!
One side of the pier is shallow with the other side being deep for a boat. We put our beach chairs in the shallow side and let the dogs have a blast and when they tired they rested by us. Pier has 4 different sets of stairs from the water so easy in and out.
Rented a pontoon boat from Real Lake Marina; it’s a 20 minute drive but only a 3 minute ride in the boat. On the final day, we offered one of the guys at the marina a nice tip to return the boat, saving us the 20 minute car ride.
Other option might be Kowilga Marina, closer car ride but longer boat ride.
We visited all the restaurants by boat for lunch and dinner. Check out Chimney Rock (2 of mine dove off the highest point, yikes!).
Baby/dog gates are perfect as they cannot get out of the large deck. Rebecca wonderful to deal with; she put a TV on the main floor at our request and we spent most indoor time there since it was a football weekend.
Will definitely return; great house, location and experience!:

Nero’s Point is absolutely amazing!
Needing a weekend getaway for our son, his dad and a few friends, Nero’s Point didn’t let us down! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, plenty of parking and also for several boats to tie up. We highly recommend Nero’s Point.

What are you waiting for?
Book now before someone else does!! This house is amazing!
Three families met here for a wonderful trip down memory lane for my husband and two of his cousins. They used to visit their grandparents home on the lake in the summer and had not been back in many years.
The house has an amazing view of the lake and is so peaceful. The kitchen had everything you need to make a lovely dinner. There is plenty of seating and sleeping areas. It is well kept and was very clean and fresh smelling upon our arrival.
The upstairs loft gave our teens and tweens a place to hang out when not out tubing or kayaking.
The only problem we encountered was that no one wanted to leave!!

Amazing Home for a family vacation!!
Our stay in this house was amazing. Home is spacious, super clean and very comfortable!! We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay with family and grandkids.
Owner is beyond amazing and so helpful with questions.
Kids were able to swim off the dock and plenty of room to dock the boat and hang out.
We had a relaxing stay and highly recommend this home if your looking for a vacation on the lake.
Kitchen is one of the best stocked kitchens ever with plenty of dishes.
Kids enjoyed the ping pong table and the games.
A big THANK YOU to the owners for sharing their lake house with our family!!

Beautiful home.
Our family had a great time at the lake. We like to cook and this was by far the best stocked kitchen we have found in a vacation rental. Owner was attentive and immediately available by phone when we had a question upon arrival. We enjoyed the table tennis very much. Plenty of sleeping space in this home as well. We are sure to return to this lake house again!

Fantastic
My family and I stayed there for a week, as a mini vacation, leading up to my wife's and I wedding day. The house was clean, fully stocked kitchen (minus food of course), great appliances, plenty of parking for being tucked in the woods. The back porch and deck was all fantastic. All my nieces and all my family had a blast swimming off the dock. The water was wonderful. The house water access is tucked away very quiet slew. We enjoyed every minute of it. No need to go out to eat when you have all you need to cook there. The gas grill outside worked great. I did bring my own charcoal grill though; only used it once. I would definitely recommend this place to any one with probably no more than 3 adult couples; the amount of kids with them don't matter since they can sleep wherever. There were plenty of extra air mattresses and sheets upstairs. We brought our own because we didn't know they were there. Plenty of towels available but still bring a few of your own. Be ready to do laundry if you have a crowd. Good washer and dryer upstairs. EXCELLENT PLACE & GREAT MEMORIES!

Perfect family Thanksgiving
This was our first time staying in this home and we found it to be everything we were looking for. We rented it for the entire Thanksgiving week and were joined by our grown children for some relaxation and stress-relief. The home is very comfortable and the space is laid out well. It was cold enough for a fire in the fireplace the first night and the owner had plenty of firewood we could use.. We used the gas grill a couple of times and the propane tank seemed full. The beds were quite comfortable and all of the rooms were sparkling clean. We cooked in for all of our meals with the exception of a carry-out lunch from Catherine's Market one day, and the kitchen had plenty of workspace, cabinet and pantry space. I did a full Thanksgiving feast and the double ovens were a wonderful help. Although chilly outside, it was sunny and we did alot of hiking and walking with our dogs. The dogs also enjoyed swimming in the lake, just not the freezing hose down they got afterwards! We particularly liked the large deck and the Adirondack chairs with such a great view of the lake. The only thing that we could have used was a TV downstairs. This wouldn't have even been an issue during warmer months with boating and skiing activities available, but we spent a good bit of time up in the loft watching football games. it is a nice TV spot up there but a little crowded when we were all gathered around watching the Iron Bowl. All in all, we had a wonderful family vacation. The owner was great and easy to contact. She kept in touch by email, text and phone and her instructions were simple to follow. I would recommend this home to anyone and expect that we might be renting it again ourselves.

Nice lake house!!
We rented this house to stay near our daughters' wedding at the Springhouse. It is a very nice house, with a beautiful lake view, and surrounded by lots of nice deck area to be outside on. Inside, the house had plenty of room for the 8 folks we slept there. It is nicely decorated, with a well apportioned kitchen area and cozy and comfortable beds in the bedrooms. It was clean and nicely maintained. We enjoyed our stay there!

Great get-away!
We wanted to escape for 5 days to the lake and found this house on VRBO. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and was very accommodating to us. The house was very comfortable, great views of the water, nice kitchen and den area, Lots of area to put your food items in pantry and cabinets, well stocked kitchen, bedrooms were big, beds were comfortable, everything was clean, deck was great and had nice Adirondack chairs on it, dock area was very nice - had shade in the late afternoon, very shallow water on left side of dock and deep water for the boat on the right, dock can accommodate 2 boats well, good to kayak from too, slough was quiet (when we were there), although houses not that far away by water, it is very private, good roads for walks from the house, not far from stores or boat launch, good cell service and WIFI, we even played ping pong too...........all around a great place to stay. We appreciated the owners allowing our dogs to come with us, they loved it too! The only thing that could have made our stay better was the grilling situation.......gas grill was out of gas and I was told ahead of time that it would be my responsibility to get the gas. We ended up buying a cheap charcoal grill because we prefer charcoal grilling anyway. If it had only had a really nice charcoal grill, it would have been great in every way! We loved the house, enjoyed our stay, and hope to return some day!! Thank you Becky for renting such a nice place on the lake for us non lake house owners to enjoy staying several days on the lake!!! We all had a nice relaxing time!!

Amazing trip...very relaxing with beautiful views!
My husband and I decided we would like to have a vacation that was relaxing instead of fighting crowds and being on a schedule- and we got it here! We got up and fished in the morning and rode wave runners to explore the lake during the day and then fished again at night. We also played board games after dark. We ate at home for almost every meal and only left the house (in a car) twice. We have two teen daughters (16 and 17 yrs old) and they loved our stay. Our family grew so much closer this week. The house was lovely, the view was beautiful and relaxing, and the lake was wonderful and fun to explore! We had such a great time that if we don't buy our own lake house, then we will definitely book another vacation at this one!

My favorite place to ski ever!
We chose this home for 2 families to stay and bring 3 kids and 2 dogs. It was perfect! The kids played ping pong the whole time they were in the house. Our one dog loves to swim and jump off the dock. The other one usually stayed up to his ankles in water near the tree. We brought 2 boats and started bare footing at 6:00 am. We skied until the sun went down every day!
The house had more than enough pillows, blankets, and kitchen supplies. The bedrooms were quiet and good bamboo shades on the windows if you like it dark to sleep in.
The owner was a joy and answered my questions and texts immediately. The stairs provided us with much exercise too!
My son, 15, said it was the best vacation ever! I can't wait to go back next summer!

Wonderful relaxing vacation home
Our family had a wonderful vacation at Nero's Point Lake Martin Home. The view was simply beautiful. We loved being at the end of the slough, so nice and quiet without the boat and jet ski noise that homes on the river experience. On one side of the dock, it is really shallow which allows small children a safe place to play in the water, and on the other side of the dock it is deep to allow boats to dock. Large windows provide a spectacular view of the lake and dock. We rented a boat one day from a local marina and enjoyed exploring the lake. Highly recommend this beautiful home. Pet friendly properties are not as prevalent, so we are very appreciative that pets were allowed since our dog travels with us. We hope to return again in the future.
