Our family lives in South Florida. About 22 years ago some friends of ours built a home on Lake Martin. They invited us up over the summer for a couple years and we got hooked. Lake Martin is our little piece of heaven on earth. It is where I go to recharge. There is just something so peaceful about sitting on the deck and having your morning coffee and just enjoying the great view.

We have had our paradise on the lake for about 15 years. There are so many memories with family and friends that are priceless. My sons enjoy tubing, skiing and wakeboarding. Of course there is always the thrill of jumping off Chimney Rock. Chuck's Marina is a nice little place to get away with friends and enjoy the music and pizza.

Visiting the goats on goat island is always a hit. We have packed picnic lunches and gone up to Wind Creek State Park or sometimes just pick an island, kick back and relax.
In the evening when things quiet down 'the older folks' sometimes just go out for a quiet sunset cruise and admire some of the absolutely gorgeous homes.

We feel very blessed to have our little place on the lake and it is gratifying that we can help other families have wonderful memories also. Our home in Florida is a little over 600 miles from our lake home, a lot of the locals are surprised that we drive so far, but it is worth every mile.
