Quiet Relaxation

This home is in a nice protected cove, which has a bit less boat traffic. Making for a nice relaxing stay. A great level lot for easy lake access without the usual stair expedition of many Lake Martin homes. Lydia was very pleasant to deal with and always a quick response.

My Mom’s 60th!

We were looking for the perfect spot to gather our entire family from multiple states and this place was absolutely amazing! Plenty of space and Lake Martin was such a relaxing place to just float around and catch up with your family. Lydia was great for allowing us to use her beautiful home to accomplish this!

The perfect house at Lake Martin!

The moment we saw the house, we were immediately impressed! The house was spacious and homey. You feel like you’ve all gathered at a family member’s house with how the rooms are set up and decorated. The kids had PLENTY to keep them entertained and occupied in the evenings with the play area and games; even the adults had fun playing the games. The entertainment room was perfect for many of us to go in to watch a movie with a theater atmosphere. The kitchen has everything you could think of when fixing meals especially for large families/groups. The sunroom allowed some to be able to be outside and enjoy the amazing views and sounds without the direct sun. The deck space and chairs allowed all of us to be able to spread out. The kids could have fun jumping off the dock and others didn’t have to worry about being splashed. We all enjoyed the ability to spread out so no one felt like they were on top of each other. We also love its location. We weren’t far from a Dollar General, local restaurants, Smith Mountain Fire Tower, and the beach area at DARE Power Park. If you want someplace where it feels like home, definitely stay here! This was the first house I saw when researching Lake Martin and I am so glad it was. The homeowner promptly answered any questions I had, made the entire experience very enjoyable/seamless, and was very friendly and hospitable. We highly recommend staying here and would gladly come back again!

Beautiful Lake Martin rental

This is one of the most unique places I've stayed over hundreds of rentals I've booked. The VIEW from the back of this house is amazing, as are the outside patio, grounds, fire pit & dock areas are wonderful and even better than the pictures IRL. Owners are warm, friendly & very communicative. I never felt like I couldn't reach out or get connected w/ them quickly. The home was decorated incredibly for Halloween too, which was wild. It's wonderful, and I only took it down a star (would be just a 1/2 star if possible) because it's not a 5 star rental property. While the Master suite is fantastic...the other bedrooms are pretty small (though all the adult sized beds appeared to be exceedingly comfortable), and the house probably needs another full bathroom upstairs. If you pushed this house to the occupancy max (we were only 7), you'd be sad. Also, the ovens weren't fully working (one was completely out, the other may be soon too)...which made cooking somewhat challenging. Despite these issues, this home would be a solid 4.5 stars in most people's book. I'd go back again for sure.

Great Family Getaway

We had a great stay! Plenty of room for our full family. Our young kids especially loved the "hidden" bunk room. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We have done a lake trip for several summers, but this house was by far our favorite. The grand kitchen was fantastic. So much room to room and find your own quiet space. Beautiful open water views with minimal boat traffic. The host was great and we will certainly book again in the future.

Wonderful property filled with a French farmhouse feel. Property owners were fabulous. Boat ramp right on property, great pier and floating dock. Beautiful location for swimming, boating, and serenity. House was well stocked and comfortable. Everything you need for a family to have a great time. Thank you so much Ms Lydia for letting us stay.

Great weekend getaway

We had 14 family members stay here and it was absolutely delightful…includes many amenities and plenty of things for kids to enjoy. The house is very accommodating and beautiful. My only critique would be the kitchen; if you plan to do cooking I would suggest you bring an electric skillet or some non stick pots/pans, the pans they have stick. Also not enough forks thank goodness I had brought plastic. Other than that we had a fantastic time!

About the host

Hosted by Lydia Staples

I am an Alabama native and have lived on Lake Martin for 33 years. We have 4 children. Our oldest daughter is a Graphic Designer/Artist in Birmingham; oldest son is married and starting his Med School Residency; our younger son is about to start his Physical Therapy Doctorate Program and our youngest daughter is in Nursing School working toward being a Nurse Practitioner. We will be working for many more years in our professions to get all 4 kids on their feet and financially independent of mom and dad! We designed and built our home 15 years ago and absolutely love lake life! There is nothing like dining with friends on our back patio with our beautiful lake providing the ideal ambience or sitting on our back porch drinking coffee watching the stillness of the water in the morning.

Why they chose this property

Susannah Crossing is a very quiet neighborhood and our lake front is located in Sandy Creek of Lake Martin across from a duck refuge. We look at trees year round and our lake area is very quiet; looks like glass in the still of the day. This makes from great skiing, tubing and swimming, unlike some of the busier open waters/channels on the lake. We have water at our pier year round making our lake house view wonderful!

What makes this property unique

Our home was custom built which we worked on the design for 10 years. It is perfect for casual and formal entertaining inside and out. Our house was built for kids, big groups and our focus was primarily on the kitchen where everyone loves to gather. Our kitchen is very large which is great for everyone pitching in with meal prep while enjoying appetizers or gathering for morning coffee and breakfast...plenty of room for every meal scenario! Our kitchen and den also spill out nicely to back porch area with outdoor/indoor speakers, which is great for relaxing lakeside. Our home is also very child friendly with lots for them to do...lots of games to choose from, game table area upstairs, a dress up closet, movies, books, play station, outdoor games and a Pac Man machine!
