Babo's Bungalow on Lake Martin

Large screen porch across the back of the house for enjoying the view with lounge area and dining table. Nice gentle sloping lot to the water that is great for the young and old. At the end of a slough with view down to big water makes for a nice swimming area and easy docking without boat traffic and wake. Steps into the water for easy swimming access and also a nice shallow beach area for the kids to play in the sand and water. Fire pit area and loungers at the dock. Relax in the shade in one of the hammocks or the swing. Plenty of room for parking. Bring your own boat and put in at boat ramp 5 minutes away and park your trailer at the house and boat at the dock. We also provide four adult kayaks and two kid kayaks and there are universal adult life vests but please bring correct size life vests for any kids. There are two parking spots at the dock for your boat or a rental boat. Pontoon rentals at Harbor Pointe marina. 15 minutes by car and about 25 minutes by boat from the house. Nearby Boat Ramps: Dare Park and Smith Mountain Landing Only 2 minutes to the historic Smith Mountain Fire Tower and hiking trails. You can go up the restored tower for a beautiful view of the lake from the top. **Seasonal Water Levels:** Please be aware that Lake Martin is operated by Alabama Power Company. They lower the water level by approximately 6 feet each winter, typically from mid-October to mid-March. During this off-season period, the water at our dock is too shallow to accommodate a boat. However, the kayaks can still be launched and used, and this is a wonderful, peaceful time to enjoy the beautiful views and explore the local hiking trails.
