This artistic Googie sign has the look and feel of the 1950s when the motel opened. NOTE: The sign was replaced in 2013 by new owners, but the waymark is being kept for historical purposes.

The Pine Lake Motel sign is on the east side of U.S. Highway 231, just south of Montgomery, Alabama. The only date reference I could find for the motel said it opened in 1957, which would fit with the style of the sign and building. I stopped and spoke with the current managers but they did not have any information about the history of the sign. Apparently they bought it from a couple who had run the motel for many years.
The sign does work and can be easily seen as one drives by in the night hours.
