Best Stay Ever!

This was my husband and I’s first time ever using VRBO and Gabe made it nothing but a positive and wonderful experience for us! The property is absolutely gorgeous, comfortable, and wonderful. Gabe was extremely accommodating to our flexible arrival time and informed us that the Jetski’s on property were available for rent as well too!We absolutely would stay again and hopefully would be booking for a few extra days where we could use the property accommodations a bit more! Overall 11/10 experience and thank you to Gabe for making sure we were all comfortable!

Senior Trip

We brought my son and his friends up for his senior trip. The layout was great for what we needed. The house is awesome and in a great location for views and privacy. Pretty convenient to get to. 5 min from a launch, 10 min from a store with most supplies and only 20 min to Dadeville for a full grocery store.

FIVE STARS!

Our family spent Thanksgiving at The Perch. Everything about the house is perfect! The layout is great. The kids enjoyed the downstairs den and ping pong area. The main level has an open den and kitchen setup with lots of windows overlooking the beautiful view. We liked the layout of the bedrooms and the beds in each room are extremely comfortable. TVs all around the house are a plus especially during football season. The outside space is great with the deck, grill and outdoor dining space. Down by the dock we played cornhole and the kids loved fishing. We would love to come back in the summer to explore more of the lake. This home was perfect for our family to gather for Thanksgiving! Gabe was wonderful to work with from the time we booked. Hope to be back soon!

War Eagle! Great Football Weekend Getaway!

The peacefulness and beauty of Lake Martin at The Perch was an amazing contrast to the activity of an Auburn football weekend. We enjoyed our time of peace with the family at the lake, and our enthusiastic Auburn family at the Ole Miss game. This property is one we will select again. The floor plan was perfect to have had more family and friends with us. The kitchen had everything we needed, bedding was very comfortable, and all very clean. Our only regret was not having taken a few more days to just relax at the lake.

Amazing

The layout of this property is great! There are 2 large living areas. Ping pong competitions are a must! Having bedrooms on each floor is ideal. Gabe answered questions promptly prior to stay. Everything was laid out well upon arrival, so we had no questions or needs during our stay. The location on the lake was perfect. Calm waters and close to boat ramp, Marina and Chimney Rock. We are planning our next trip to this property. Highly recommend!

Graduation

It was exactly what I was looking for. The layout of the house was perfect for the younger adults to hang out downstairs while the others visited on the main floor and deck. The openness of the house made it easy to move around when we had guests. The beds were nice and firm. The kitchen was well stocked. The furniture was comfortable. The view on the lake was amazing. The dock was nice and spacious. The steps to get in the water were clean and not slippery. There’s a nice kayak with plenty of life jackets. The fishing was good. We made a lot of wonderful memories!!
