About this property

Lay Lake Home, Sleeps 9, 1000ft shoreline, Pool, Boat Ramp, Boat House, 6 acres+

  • Stay at one of the few private peninsula properties on Lay Lake — with over 1,000 feet of shoreline, a pool, multiple decks and docks, and your own boat ramp. Conveniently located about 35 miles from Birmingham - close enough to commute, but far enough away to enjoy the night stars and sounds of nature.

    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.

    🛶 OUTDOOR HIGHLIGHTS
    * 6-acres w/ private peninsula
    * Over 1000+ feet of shoreline
    * Private boat ramp
    * 2-slip boathouse
    * Multiple docks in deep water
    * Lakeview pool

    🛏️ SLEEPING

    ⚠️ NOTES
    * Pool is shared respectfully with owners
    * Property is best suited for guests who enjoy outdoor living and lake activities

This is a beautiful property! The home was very clean and had every amenity that we could have needed. There is so much to do outdoors and if it happens to rain, there is plenty to do inside the home as well. Everything was comfortable, and the host was extremely helpful and accommodating the entire weekend. We will definitely rent this property in the future!
