I loved the house. The driveway as you pulled in was bulked up and I was afraid it was gonna tear up our vehicles. The host was great. My kids weren’t fond of the very small spiral staircase to get downstairs. The house was very beautiful and clean. Amenities were great! My husband wasn’t happy he wasn’t able to use the boat lift. The waters were so choppy and our boat slammed against the pier. We had big bumpers trying to protect boat and several ropes but it didn’t help. Also the stairs from water to pier were broke. The house is not located near grocery stores or any fast food places. Although these were problems…. It’s a beautiful house, comfortable furniture, everything was clean and didn’t have to go far from house to water…. We still had a great time

Hi Dejah, we are so glad you say you loved our lake house, the decor, and the cleanliness. We're also glad to hear that you would stay here again! The small 6-foot section of driveway that is cracked is due to the roots from all the mature trees. We have that driveway repair scheduled. Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest times on the lake. That's why I encouraged you to tie, or "stretch your boat" between 2 points so it would not rub on the pier. All in all, I'm glad you all had a great holiday at Lake Martin Memories. Thank you again!
We had a great stay and hope to return next year! Everything we needed for cooking, sleeping and hanging out by the lake was provided. Host is very communicative. Was the perfect long weekend.

About the host
Hosted by Pat
I grew up, and later married my wife of 46 years, at my original Lake Martin home less that 1/2 mile from this home. As you might imagine, some of my best memories are right here on the lake. There's no other place like Lake Martin.
Why they chose this property
Our guests absolutely love our large, level yard. Old and young alike can easily navigate the entire 1-acre property very easily. Plus, this property is located on a portion of Lake Martin that is historically not as busy with heavy boat traffic like the "big water" areas experience. Calmer waters make for great fishing, and the perfect atmosphere for towing the kids or grandkids behind the boat.
What makes this property unique
The house is literally less than 35-feet from the water. Plenty of parking space for cars, trucks, SUV's.
