Shady Bay House | Lakefront Family Home on Lake Martin with Private Boat Launch

6 Bedroom House in Shady Bay, Jacksons' Gap

Tucked into a quiet slough on Lake Martin, this lake house has been the backdrop of family summers for decades. For 30 years, our lake home has been a place for slow mornings, full coffee cups on the screened porch overlooking the lake, kids swimming until their fingers wrinkle, and long evenings spent together playing board games and connecting after the sun goes down. Originally built by my father in 1995 and renovated twice since, our lake home is updated yet unpretentious, built for spending quality time together, and has plenty of space with the water just steps away. Our home is meant for week-long stays, shared meals, laughter on the dock, and making the kind of memories that bring our guests back year after year. If you're looking for a southern week on the lake that feels like home the moment you arrive you'll find it here.
Our lakefront family home sleeps 15 and has a private boat ramp on the property so you can launch your boat on site without having to find a public boat launch. Plenty of parking with both an upper and lower driveway, there's plenty of space to leave your watercraft trailer on site along with everyone's cars. The home is located in the Jackson’s Gap area of the lake - in a calm, quiet cove with low boat traffic that is ideal for kids swimming of the dock but still right off the main channel. Great wooded neighborhood that is ideal for walking and exploring. You're just a 5 minuted boat ride from Boondock's at Bay Pines Marina, where you can enjoy food, drinks, and live music with strangers who feel like friends. Close to Alexander City and just a 15 minute drive to the new Publix Grocery Store, Starbucks, and new Nail Salon.
With both an upstairs and downstairs living space, you'll have plenty of room to spend time together but the option for kids to have their own space downstairs. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen and second refrigerator on the ground level leading out to the pier make toting your drinks and ice to the pier a breeze.
Our family has been on Lake Martin since 1995 and we are happy to recommend anything you might need during your stay, from boat rentals to restaurants we have you covered.
We look forward to welcoming you to our home on Lake Martin - where lake days and family nights will build memories that last a lifetime.
