NOV, 2012 0 COMMENTS By Charles Borden For those of us who live on the shores of Lake Martin, we see, feel, smell, taste and live the majesty of this beautiful lake. One only has to view its beauty and awesomeness from places like the Kowaliga bridge, the Smith Mountain Fire Tower, the lookout at the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trail head, and Acapulco Rock to know what a treasure we have in this east-central part of Alabama. If you are a golfer, there is nothing more beautiful than the view from the course at Willow Point. If you are a fisherman, there is nothing more satisfying or peaceful than sitting quietly in a calm slough waiting on the big one to bite; or, if you are a skier or wake boarder, there is plenty of large open water on which to practice your skills. We are truly blessed! I recall that it was said in the 1950s and 1960s that Lake Martin was 99.9% pure and free of harmful chemicals. For many of us, Lake Martin is home, where we have raised families, earned livings, enjoyed the recreation that the lake provides and just enjoyed life. For these and many other reasons, we call Lake Martin a treasure. In 2010, Governor Bob Riley signed an executive order designating Lake Martin “A Treasured Alabama Lake.” This designation simply put the stamp of approval on what we already knew. Lake Martin was the first Alabama Lake with this distinction. The TAL designation provides a level of protection for generations to come, but it does not unduly restrict development around the lake. It does require strong environmental considerations in the future. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 11 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 9 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Preferred no smoking, but if you must outside only ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Boat - Golf - Gym - Kayak - Optional golf privileges - Table tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 11,700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69350000/69340200/69340101/w1236h838x0y0-1c32e87a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 9 br / 7 bath Tallassee - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 38 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=69340101&PinnedHotelID=69340101&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111260000/111253300/111253215/2861d548.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Massive Lake Martin Estate - Sleeps 23 Jacksons' Gap - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=111253215&PinnedHotelID=111253215&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104160000/104153600/104153516/334280a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Martin Luxury - The BEST Group Lake House! -- 6 Bedrooms -- Arcade -- Dock Jacksons' Gap - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=104153516&PinnedHotelID=104153516&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33910000/33905000/33904914/777b858b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEACH, SUNSETS, HOT TUB, FIREPIT, BOAT RAMP, FLAT LOT, PARKING, WE HAVE IT ALL Dadeville - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 50 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=33904914&PinnedHotelID=33904914&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116690000/116687700/116687640/93eb09b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 6BD 4BA Lakehouse.
