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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Lydia Staples

Host profile image
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!
