I stayed here with a few friends for the weekend. We were there for our annual fantasy football draft next door and the location was perfect. Five of us stayed there and everyone had the own bed. I would recommend.

Large family vacation get away!

We really enjoyed our stay! I have 5 siblings and our extended family consists of about 50 all together. We rented all 4 houses within this gated community and had total access to the pool and all of the amenities. This is the 4th year we have gone there for our family vacation and will go back next year, most likely. Easy access to the lake with 4 boat boat slips and places to tie off several jet skis.

Just what I needed!

My siblings and I rented the 4 houses at Bolton Cove for our annual trip together. My house was wonderful -just as pictures described. Enough space that my family of 6 adults could have our own space but still be together in living room/kitchen/deck and pool area. Loved that the outdoor gas grill was on our deck and we did not have to leave to go to grill. We all hated to leave. If anyone has a large family the 4 houses to rent at Bolton Cove is the perfect place to be. Almost forgot - pool area is wonderful. Great location to go and explore the lake. Highly recommend.

The best weekend!

We needed a place for family and friends to stay for Auburn’s graduation. This area exceeded our expectations and we met and got to be friends with the other renters as well. This is a gorgeous property and had everything we needed for our stay. There is so much to do at the property with the beach, pool, the boat and kayaks. Alexander City is close enough to get groceries quickly. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Great for relaxing or entertaining

Beautiful home with lots of space. We were staying for a wedding that was held in another location along the lake, so we had different family segments in the house and everyone had plenty of space. The view of the lake is inviting and the beach was great for the 3-year-old. We weren't there long enough to take advantage of the well-kept pool and playground. The kitchen was well-stocked. Loved the wine fridges! :) The only issue we had was very slow wi-fi. Fortunately, our short visit was reliant on it except for streaming a movie, which didn't work due to constant buffering.

Relaxing & beautiful

The home was clean and decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. We had 12 family members and there was plenty of sleeping space for all, as well as linens and towels for showers. The view of the cove is very relaxing and the beach and pool are inviting. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Gem so close to home

We all enjoyed our time at Bolton Cove. The was fantastic, plenty of room for all of us. The beach area was great for even the smallest kiddos. We all loved kayaking, fishing, catching turtles by the shore and teaching the kids about them. The pool and playground were great too. We loved that it was so close to home. My oldest granddaughter (8) said we have to make this a family tradition. We certainly will. Will definitely be coming back here!!! Thanks for such a great time!!!!

Peaceful getaway

I would say the property was "as pictured", but the pictures don't do it justice. The space was absolutely perfect for our family needs, clean and well stocked. I had to contact the owner with a few questions and he replied in a timely manner and came to a resolution very quickly!!! I would absolutely book again! I have stayed at other Lake Martin locations and this was my favorite! 10/10 recommend!

Daughter's wedding family and friends

My daughter got married in Eclectic. I rented the VRBO for family and friends from Illinois and Georgia. Everything was perfect! Sleeping arrangements worked out perfect. Grilled sausage for the whole crew for lunch. The ladies enjoyed the beach. The children loved that and the playground. Best of all, the owner was very responsive. Every time I had a question, I had an answer within an hour!!! Definitely a wonderplace to stay!!

Wonderful Family Experience

The amenities on the property are excellent. The house was very spacious and each room wonderfully decorated. Everything we needed was there for our use and convenience. We cooked meals and grilled on the deck which made our stay more fun and memorable. The weather didn’t permit us to enjoy the kayaks which gives us an opportunity to return. However, the kids enjoyed the playground. We definitely will be returning!
