Photos and Description of the Lake Martin vacation house rental
BEAUTIFUL 5 BRDROOM HOME ON LAKE MARTIN, NEAR AUBURN & STILLWATERS RESORT

The address is Tranquility Point and true to its name, it is located on a quiet little street settled in an area of the lake with very little boat traffic. It has a serene atmosphere which can be contributed to being directly on Lake Martin.

This home is the perfect place to bring large groups of extended family or friends because it accommodates 14 people and has something for everyone to do. For the fishermen there's an underwater 'monster light' designed to attract fish & some fishing gear provided. The water lovers will find a swimming area and a wet slip to park a boat or wave runner. There are several places to rent boats just a few miles away. For those bringing their boats, there's a public boat launch (Smith Boat Landing) just across the large slough but out of sight of the house.

Kids will love this home because it was built with them in mind. It has a large flat yard with a swing set and a custom built playhouse that is furnished just for kids.

After a long day of playing outside they can play with the wii game system located in the bunk room & choose from the 4 tv's scattered around the house.

This house has lots of room for outdoor entertaining. It has decks, a screened porch, and carport. The main deck extends across the entire lake side of the house and has a comfortable area for seating and a large dinning table. You can find additional seating and dinning areas on the cozy screened porch. To help feed your group their is a ' big green egg' that makes any cook out a success.

The interior of this home is beautifully decorated and designed to showcase the lake. The great room has cathedral ceilings and an entire wall of windows facing the water. It also has plenty of comfortable seating and a 52 inch flat screen tv. Also on the main level along with the great room, kitchen, and 2 dinning areas you will find two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of these bedrooms is the master suite with a king sized bed and views of the lake. The other bedroom has twin beds and a bathroom directly across the hall. Both of these bedrooms have a television.

The second level of the home has two more bedrooms, a bunk room loft, and a bathroom. In the upstairs bedrooms you will find a king bed in one room and queen size in the other. The loft has two twin trundle beds that comfortably sleep 4. Also take the pillows off the couches & you have the equivalent of twin beds. There's a inflatable,elevated,queen mattress-just plug it up & it's ready ,for a couple of more sleepers

The location of this home is ideal. It is a ten minute drive from StillWaters resort which is well known for it's golf course which is open to the public. For dinning out, there are 5 restaurants Judy's Stage Coach Inn, Oscars , Poplar Dog, Niffers, Uncle Nick 's Barbeque all in a five mile radius. Also Dadeville is 7 miles away & it has a barbeque place, a Mexican restaurant, a pizza place & a restaurant that serves home cooked meals as well as McDonalds, Subway, etc. Best of all Auburn University ball games are just thirty minutes away. In addition, in the Auburn/Opelika area there are numerous restaurants, movie theaters, a water park, Chewalca Park and more.

This home is an amazing place to vacation anytime of year. It is not only for active 'water lovers' but for those that are seeking a serene place to enjoy nature and wildlife. It is very common to see both deer and turkeys in the area.

About Owner/ Property Manager Julianne Freeman

My husband & I built this house in 1998. Over the years as our daughters finished college, married great guys and had the most wonderful grandchildren ever, our needs changed. We added a bunk room, screen porch, covered carport, covered deck & a playhouse. Our house stayed full as our family & extended family gathered here to enjoy the lake & celebrate holidays. But as time goes on, life changes. Now none of our daughters live in the immediate area. We are blessed with very athletic grandchildren who are involved in all types of ball which keeps them close to home. We found our house was being used less & less so decided to rent it part time to vacationers. Even though it is still our home, it will feel like your home when you vacation there. It is decorated for all the holidays, the kitchen is fully furnished & best of all it has a warmth that makes it perfect for family gatherings.

Why Owner/ Property Manager Julianne Freeman chose Lake Martin

THE GREATEST APPEAL OF THIS LAKE HOUSE IS THAT IT IS SO DEFINITELY A HOME, NOT A PERFECT PLACE BUT A PLACE YOU CAN RELAX AND BE COMORTABLE ,. WHEN I MOVED AWAY I LEFT IT FURNISHED JUST AS IT WAS. MY FAMILY RETURNS THERE OFTEN. THERE ARE 14 OF US AND THERE'S ROOM FOR EVERYONE.

Our family gathering of 12 had a wonderful time at Lake Martin. The house was very nice and spacious, and the owner was very attentive to details. We have already recommended this location to friends, and will likely stay there again.

One week for 4 families for Christmas

3 generations shared this lake front home that was every bit as lovely as the photos for Christmas week. The decorating that Julianne had done for us was beautiful. Tree, lights, table decorations -- all over. She even included her Christmas china! There was a small problem with the operation of the gas fireplace that Julianne addessed promptly and it seemed like no problem due to the quickness of the answer. The 7 grands, from ages 1 to 14 had fun outside in the playhouse and riding the bikes and upstairs in their bunkroom enjoying the Wii. We had up to 20 sitting down to dinners. Sometimes we had 3 cooks working in the well-equipped kitchen and/or at the Big Green Egg. Lots of room to just sit and talk or read. We took everyone on the hike up to Smith Mountain Fire tower and the 3-year-olds especially enjoyed the hike. Really a super place for large family groups. We would like to return in the summer when there can be even more outdoor activity at this beautiful location.

The house at 102 Tranquility Point, Dadeville, was just perfect. Vey well furnished and stocked, great location on the lake, everything works. This is a quiet part of the lake perfect for serenity and rest. In 10 minutes on the water you can be in the hustle and bustle part of the lake. This house has lots of bedrooms, patios, and porches (including a large screened porce),all nicely furnished and perfect for sipping a cool one or cocktail looking over the beautiful lake. Highly recommend this house for any group needing 4 or more bedrooms (it has 5). Mike Jackson

Beautiful Home With Incredible Lake VIews

5 of 5
Submitted: October 26, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
This house has beauty and perfection written all over it. My family and extended family all met there for my son's wedding at nearby Sillwaters. The house was large enough, so we were all able to be together. Plus, it was very affordable.The inside was spacious, with a big kitchen and plenty of seating room for everyone. However, I must confess, with the incredible weather and decking area, we spent as much time as we could outside soaking in the beautiful fall colors and serenity of the lake.The house is extremely well maintained and fully stocked with plenty of linens. With the ironing board and multiple outlets, we were able to get everyone's clothes ready for the wedding. We had wonderful Barbeque from a local restaurant. The stores in nearby Dadeville were more than adequate, but larger shopping areas are close by. We had three small girls with us who thoroughly enjoyed the playhouse and swings. They also had a blast with the pedal cars, while their dads enjoyed fishing off the dock. We could not have dreamed of such a wonderful place that met so many of our family's needs. Julianne was wonderful to work with, answered any questions I had promptly and was so friendly! All 12 of us there would recommend this home to a small or large group for any occasion. I think we may have to make this vacation home a family tradition!

My family and several friends spent 2 wonderful weeks at Tranquility Point. Everything was as advertised or better. We so enjoyed being able to sit on the porch, enjoying the beautiful view and the peace and quiet. All furnishings were comfortable and adequate. I enjoyed cooking most of our meals and was extremely pleased with kitchen dishes and utensils. We definitely will return to this house!!

What a wonderful home away from home ... I am sure we will be back to this beautiful location!

The whole experience started with very kind and extremely accommodating communication by phone and e-mail with Julianne, the owner of the property, who made me feel very welcome. The directions and instructions we received were very helpful, and made finding the house easy. Julianne's family house is just beautiful on the inside and the outside, and is situated at a most wonderful location! Having a cuppa on the deck in the morning overlooking the lake and hearing the sounds of nature, was my favorite pastime during our 5 night stay, in which we did a lot of running around visiting family. However coming back to Julianne's house, felt like coming back to our quiet and peaceful haven. On our morning runs we met some of the people in the neighborhood walking their dogs or out for a stroll, and everyone seemed as kind and welcoming as Julianne has been. It makes me want to spend much more time at this location. We rented the house for Christmas so we would have a relaxed and inviting place for family living in Alabama, to get away from their daily routines and come and stay with us. And the house and all the amenities fully achieved this, as everyone loved visiting. The decoration of the house is very comfortable and stylish, and it truly feels to me like a home away from home. And to have the Christmas decorations used by Julianne and her family for their own Christmas celebrations, was a great bonus that we fully enjoyed. The fact that this used to be Julianne her family home and that she also spends time here with her family at special occasions, shines through in the decorations of the home and it seems to fill the house with the love and warmth that you do not often find in the holiday houses you rent, and which was just such a big bonus to our stay. Unfortunately did we never get to meet Julianne or her family, but we were told by several people from different walks of life, that the family is one of the nicest, kindest and most honorable families you can meet. How truly lucky were we, to find the listing of their house on VRBO, and how much are we looking forward to a future stay. Thank you again so very much Julianne, for sharing your home and making us feel so welcome. We just had the best time we could have had, and your house is all we could have asked for. We treasure the memories made at Tranquility Point, and we wish you and your family the very best. Take care and keep doing what you are doing, as you are doing it very very well!

Ten first cousins including spouses, all in our 70' & 80's, spent a week in this lovely home. We couldn't have asked for a better equped and comfortable place to relax and enjoy being togethe. It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to returning in the near future.
The only contact I have had with the owner is through e-mails and telephone but she was wonderful and very cooperative. I hope someday to meet her.

Everything about this house is as described, only better. We had a group of 9 family members ranging from age 11 to 75, and each person had a favorite aspect of the house, such as driving around in the golf cart, fishing off the dock, watching the gorgeous sunrises and moonrises and having comfortable, high quality bedding and furnishings to enjoy while spending time with family. The kitchen is fully stocked with many, many serving pieces and cooking/baking equipment, the large table easily sat 10 people comfortably and the master bedroom suite with lakefront private deck and indoor whirlpool was a wonderful place for parents to relax. Even the laundry room was fully stocked, with a washer, dryer and fold-down ironing board; there is everything you could possibly want in this luxury lakefront home. If we could rate it higher than 5 stars, we would certainly do so.
