A few things to know before you book: PRIMARY GUEST The guest who books must be at least 25 years old and must stay at the home for the entire reservation. The primary guest is responsible for everyone in their group and any visitors. RENTAL AGREEMENT Every guest is required to sign a short rental agreement after booking. This is not optional: our property insurance requires a signed agreement for each stay, and our attorneys have advised the same. It covers house rules, check-in and check-out procedures, occupancy limits, and responsibility for damage. It takes about two minutes, and there is no app to download and no account or password to create. We send it after booking along with a brief check-in form, and your access details follow once both are complete. THE HOME This is a single-level home with no stairs inside. The front door is up two or three steps from the porch and leads into the kitchen. HOUSE RULES • Maximum 6 overnight guests • Quiet hours 9 pm to 8 am • No parties or events • No smoking or vaping • Pets welcome: up to 2 (dogs 60 lb or under; some breeds are restricted for insurance). $50 pet fee per stay covers all pets. Please add pets to your reservation. • No commercial photography or filming without our written approval (see below) • Please lock the front door each time you leave. It does not lock automatically DURING YOUR STAY Our cleaning, maintenance, and guest-support team works hard to make your stay great.. Please tell us about any damage as soon as it happens so we can sort it out fairly. Please keep total people on the property, including daytime visitors, within the guest limit. Please leave the exterior cameras and the indoor noise monitor connected and uncovered. Commercial photography or filming is only allowed with our written approval before your stay.. GETTING HERE & PARKING Use WIND CREEK ROAD when you navigate; some GPS apps route you onto Peppers Road, which is partly unpaved. We'll send clear directions before check-in. There's no rideshare or transit to count on out here, so plan to have a vehicle. Pull up to the side of the house and park in front of the privacy fence, with room for several vehicles plus a small boat or trailer. Come through the privacy gate to the front porch. PETS & OUTDOOR SPACE The backyard is fully fenced, with a doggie door out to the screened porch. There are two porches (screened-in at the back, and a front porch with a gas grill), plus string lights and a fire pit with seating on the patio. Up to 2 pets are welcome; dogs must be 60 lb or under, and some breeds are restricted for insurance. A flat $50 pet fee per stay covers all pets, and pets must be added to your reservation. Please crate pets when they're left alone, keep them off the beds and furniture, and pick up after them. Service animals are always welcome, with no fee. TRASH The gray bin is directly across the street on Farm Loop, next to the neighbor's. That is where the sanitation company picks up, and the bin belongs to the property. Bag your trash and place it in the bin. EARLY CHECK-IN & LATE CHECKOUT Available on request when the cleaning schedule allows. $20 per hour, one-hour minimum. Message us and we'll check with our cleaning team. BEFORE CHECKOUT Before you head out, please leave used dishes in the kitchen sink or dishwasher, gather used towels in the tub, put trash in the kitchen bin, take your food and belongings, and turn off the lights and A/C. Our cleaning team handles the rest. SECURITY & MONITORING For the safety and security of our guests and the property, motion-activated cameras are installed on the exterior only. They record audio and video and monitor entrances and outdoor areas. No cameras monitor any indoor area. An indoor noise-monitoring device measures noise levels only. It does not record audio or video. The whole home is yours, inside and out — both porches, the fenced backyard, and the fire pit. Pull up to the side of the house and park in front of the privacy fence, then come through the privacy gate. Two or three steps up to the front porch, where the smart lock is on the door that leads into the kitchen. Self check-in makes arrival easy at any hour. Getting here: use WIND CREEK ROAD to reach the house — some GPS apps route you down Peppers Road, which is partly unpaved. We'll send clear directions before check-in. A car is the way to go here — the lake and everything around it is a short, easy drive, and there's plenty of free parking right at the house for cars, trucks, boats, and trailers. Public lake access is just a short walk across the street. Nearby: → ~8 min to the Wind Creek boat ramp (fishing trips — park the rig at the house) → 9 min to Fanny Goldmine Diner → 12 min to Wind Creek State Park (hiking, beach, day use) → 13 min to Kowaliga Restaurant (lakeside dining) → ~15 min to Children's Harbor & the Kowaliga lighthouse → ~15 min to town for groceries, gas, and restaurants Good to know: - Use WIND CREEK ROAD when you navigate — some GPS apps route you onto Peppers Road, which is partly unpaved. We'll send exact directions before check-in. - No rideshare or transit to count on out here — plan to have a vehicle. We want you to enjoy your stay! It’s likely you won’t see me during your visit, which allows you more privacy and convenience. However, I am here anytime you need to reach out. If you need anything or have questions, just send me a message and I’ll be quick to respond. Lake-adjacent, the honest way: You're directly across the street from Lake Martin — a short, easy walk to the public access point, with secure parking for boats and trailers right at the house. You'll catch lake views from the property, and you're only minutes from Wind Creek State Park and the boat ramp. (Note: this is a lake-adjacent home, not a private waterfront property — no private dock or shoreline — which is exactly why it stays so quiet.) Built for pets: A fully fenced backyard gives your dog room to roam, and the doggie door leads straight out to the screened porch so they can come and go while you relax. Travelers with pets are our most frequent — and happiest — guests. Two porches to choose from: The screened-in back porch is the star — shaded, breezy, and made for slow mornings. Out front, a second porch with a gas grill is perfect for cooking out. A kitchen ready to actually cook in: Center island, newer appliances, and the essentials stocked — coffee, cookware, and the basics. Bring your favorite spices and you're set. Comfortable living + fast WiFi: Plush seating, a smart TV in the living room, and fast WiFi throughout — easy whether you're winding down or working remote. Three bedrooms, three ways to rest: Master — King bed Second bedroom — Queen bed Third bedroom — Full bed Smart TV in every room The extras that add up: In-unit washer & dryer, good strong AC (essential for an Alabama summer), and plenty of secure parking for trucks, boats, and trailers. LAKE-ADJACENT, THE HONEST WAY You're directly across the street from Lake Martin — a short, easy walk to public access, with secure parking for boats, trailers, and trucks right at the house. You'll catch lake views from the property and you're minutes from Wind Creek State Park and the boat ramp (about 8 minutes — anglers, this one's for you). One honest note: this is a lake-ADJACENT home, not private waterfront — no dock or private shoreline — which is exactly why it stays so peaceful. BUILT FOR DOGS A fully fenced backyard gives your dog room to run, and a doggie door leads straight out to the screened porch so they can come and go while you relax. Travelers with pets are our most frequent — and happiest — guests. EVENINGS OUTSIDE String lights over the patio, a fire pit with seating, and two porches to choose from. The screened-in back porch is the star — shaded, breezy, made for slow mornings with coffee. Out front, a second porch with a gas grill is built for cookouts. A KITCHEN YOU'LL ACTUALLY COOK IN Center island, newer appliances, drip + Keurig coffee, and the essentials stocked. Bring your favorite spices and you're set. COMFORTABLE INSIDE, FAST WIFI Plush living-room seating, a smart TV, and fast WiFi throughout — easy whether you're winding down or working remote at the dedicated desk. THREE WAYS TO REST Master with a king, second bedroom with a queen, third with a full — plus a smart TV in every room, fresh cotton linens, and new mattresses. PARKING & ARRIVAL Pull up to the side of the house and park in front of the privacy fence — room for several vehicles plus a small boat or trailer. Enter through the privacy gate, two or three steps up to the front porch. THE EXTRAS THAT ADD UP In-unit washer & dryer, strong AC for Alabama summers, single-level layout with no stairs inside, and plenty of secure parking for trucks, boats, and trailers. WHY GUESTS REBOOK Spotless, peaceful, and genuinely pet-ready — and a host who answers fast (usually within the hour). "Felt right at home" is the line we hear most.

We had a wonderful stay at Josh’s place in Alexander City, AL. The house was very clean and incredibly dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us! The screened-in porch was a standout feature—it’s the perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing while visiting. One thing to note is that lake access requires a walk to a public access point, so it’s not a direct lakefront stay. However, this place is ideal for anyone visiting Alexander City with dogs. Highly recommend it!
