Beautiful Alabama lake house on a Lay Lake peninsula with 1000+ ft of shoreline. The 6-acre estate has a pool, 2-slip boat house, private boat ramp, multiple docks, fire pits, decks, patios, and docks. Security fencing and deck gates provided. Sleeps 9 (4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 4 queen beds and 1 daybed). Perfect for fishermen and families. Room for 3-4 boats (2 covered) in the water, and parking for 4 trucks with trailers. Power at boathouse and dock. Deep water and no wake zone.

The space
Stay at one of only a few private peninsula properties on Lay Lake — with over 1,000 feet of shoreline, a pool, and your own boat ramp.

Water surrounds you on multiple sides. Properties like this are limited on Lay Lake — most rentals don’t offer this level of shoreline, access, amenities, and space in one location.”

Whether you’re planning a serious bass fishing trip or a relaxing family getaway, this property gives you the best of both.

🎣 For Fishing Groups:
* Private concrete boat ramp (no waiting at public launches)
* Accommodates 3-4 boats in the water (2 covered)
* Parking for 4 trucks and trailers
* Power for charging gear at boathouse and dock
* 1000+ ft shoreline = multiple fishing spots
* Multiple deep-water docks (no wake zone)

Fish more. Hassle less. No waiting at public ramps, no hauling gear — just walk out, launch, and fish.

For Families & Groups
* Pool overlooking the lake
* 6 acres of nature reserve
* Multiple fire pits for cozy evenings by the water
* Multiple decks for stargazing and observing nature
* Private, peaceful setting
* Fenced in yard & gates at decks to help contain pets and children
* Multiple docks in no wake zone

Space, privacy, and real connection. Plenty of space for kids to play, swim, and explore — while you actually get to relax.”

Start your mornings with sunrise over the water, spend your days outdoors — fishing, swimming, or boating — and end the night around the fire under the stars.

This is where people come to slow down, reconnect, and make memories.
