Could not have been a more wonderful week despite the circumstances.... We were suppose to be preparing for our son's wedding, but it was rescheduled due to the Pandemic; and so our family of 12 spent the week in this beautiful Lake Martin lakehouse:) It was just what we needed!! The home itself was a true gem with plenty of room for all and then some. Bedrooms were comfortable, roomy yet cozy. The Family Room had plenty of seating for everyone but we spent most of our "inside" time gathered around the large, gorgeous kitchen table. We played games and enjoyed all our meals at this table! A well-stocked kitchen and large island made preparing and serving meals very easy. The walkout basement was a great option when we needed more space and we all enjoyed sitting on the large porches enjoying the views of the lake when we'd had enough sun (I personally loved the porch swing). The dock was big enough to accommodate our group while some of us fished, some swam and some soaked up the sun on the chaise lounge chairs there. Docking our boat and jet ski was easy too--being back in a cove within a cove made for nice waters to ski, wakeboard and jet ski on. Our two youngest boys were kept busy with all the nature we were surrounded by...finding frogs, turtles, lizards, fishing endlessly, making friends with the two ducks that visited us every day...they were in Heaven!! We also enjoyed boat trips to Goat Island, Chimney Rock (and the rope swing close by), several marinas and Kowaliga Restaurant--this home is in an ideal location and easy access to so much. And Valerie is a wonderful host promptly helping us with any questions we had. Thanks for letting us make so many memories at your place!!
