Peaceful stay in the cove

Laura was an excellent host and communicator. Her home was relaxing for our visiting family and our kids were entertained by the various amenities (ping pong, fishing, swimming) that were available. The home is comfortable and in a peaceful cove. I would recommend this stay to folks of all ages! Wonderful stay!

Best place on the lake.

This was our 4th year renting this home on the lake. It is perfect for the needs of our extended family. We had 13 of us including 5 young grandkids. The house easily fit all of us and the waterfront has a beach, a dock, a boat lift and is located on a quiet part of the lake. PERFECT!

Best place to rent for families with small kids

This was our 2nd year renting this property and it was fabulous. We have 5 grandkids that joined us and this beautiful place on a quiet cove with a nice sandy beach, water toys galore, and a perfect house for families, made for a wonderful week. Our host Lauren was perfect. We have rented at Gaston for 20 years. This is hands down the best rental we have ever had.

Honeycomb hideout

We loved the pull up! The view of Lake Gaston and the dam! We had the best neighbors (osprey and babies). The experience on the lake this year was surreal! The Gathering Place was a very welcoming place to be and a centralized location between Roanoke Rapids & Littleton. We will DEFINITELY be staying here again!

Great house!!

This is a great house and everything Is as advertised. The set up of the house is perfect for families. The kids had the basement, the adults had the upstairs. House was very clean and had all of the little touches that made the house great. Kitchen was fully stocked, water toys were great. Highly recommend this house and definitely want to rent again the next time we are there.

Great Family Getaway

This house exceeded my expectations in cleanliness, comfort, and just all around great house. Having King sized beds in all the bedrooms was just awesome for my family. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a rental - nice dishes, silverware, appliances, pots and pans, etc. were all top notch stuff. Communication with the owner was always prompt. My adult children loved the house and we would all love to go back again!

Great time at the lake! We had a great time at the house this year! However, there were a few too many black (wood) ants in the kitchen. Not sure why they were appearing in the kitchen . Thank you for another great experience! I would like to reserve for next year!

Perfect

This was exactly what we needed. The access to the main lake in the boat is superior. The bedrooms all on the main floor for the grown ups and the children's bunk room being downstairs is fabulous. This is one we will definitely consider again. The views from the house were superb and the screen porch was wonderful. The owner was really responsive when we had trouble accessing the key upon arrival..

The Gathering Place is one of the best rental homes we have ever stayed at. Lauren is so quick to respond to any inquiries.. The house is so clean and well stocked! Our grandkids go right to the snacks upon arrival. Very nice touch!

Wonderful stay on the lake

This property was everything that we wanted for our weekend getaway. It was incredibly clean, well stocked, comfortable, and relaxing. I couldn’t believe how many times we said “did you see X any where?” And the answer was always “yes, it’s in that drawer” (or wherever it was located). There was plenty to do to entertain my almost 3 year old, including the beach entry for the water that made it incredibly easy for getting her and our infant as well in the lake. No complaints here! 10/10 would recommend!

Loved it - exactly as described and pictured

I have rented several houses from VRBO, This one exactly matched my pre-trip expectations. That's worth it's weight in gold. The house is comfortable, every system worked fine even in the middle of a heat wave, and the kitchen is well stocked. I could go on, but it would be easier for you to read the owner's description. It's 100% accurate, and I'm 100% satisfied with the rental. Thanks Lauren!

Well furnished rental

This was the best stocked kitchen of any rental we have had. The owner left all kinds of personal touches that made the house seem like home. It is beautifully decorated but in such a way that even with a 3 year old it felt cozy. We rented a pontoon boat from Lake Gaston Summer Rentals. It allowed us to explore the lake and visit Goat Island. Although we fished from the boat we had our best luck from the dock. Prior to our trip I sent several e-mails to the owner with questions. I always got a response within a few hours. We would definitely rent again from this owner.

Great week

The fact that we were back for our second year says it all. Very enjoyable stay. The whole family wanted to return to this house again. Great location and very well equipped. We would highly recommend it. Only two issues. The owner had changed the combination of the key lock box and not updated the checkin instructions. We were locked out on arrival for a couple hours until we could get the new code. And, previous guests had left the fire pit full of trash. We did not have any plans to use it, so this did not impact our stay.

Best place and host ever

This is our 3rd straight year staying at Lauren's beautiful place on Lake Gaston and we are already looking forward to next year. If I could nominate Lauren for host of the year, I would. On the first day, I had some questions and she handled them within 2 minutes of my inquiry. When I thought that we were going to be without a highchair for my 1 year old grandchild, Lauren offered to order one from Amazon and have it sent to us. With 5 grandchildren age 1-8, this is a perfect place. Upstairs has plenty of room for their parents and plenty of kitchen space and seating inside and out. Downstairs is a kids dream with 2 sets of triple bunks and a giant room with foosball, ping pong, and a pinball machine. Outside is perfect with a great dock, a boat lift, and a gentle shallow beach area for little kids to play. It is a beautiful view and it is protected from the crowds and the waves of the main lake. Can't wait to come back for year 4.

PERFECT

I’ve been renting vacation homes at Lake Gaston for the past 6 years … and this one by far has it all. Plenty of space for 3 families. (11 of us total). We all could not get over how comfortable the beds were. I feel all 3 families will have new mattresses inspired by this house very soon. Plenty of games and space for the kids to play. The kitchen was well stocked. We really felt at home. The smart TV allows you to sign into your own accounts which is nice for the evening wind downs. The sandy “beach” was amazing for my 4 and 5 year old. They both learned how to swim underwater thanks to it!!! Lots of room for practice! Even more fun was that at the end of the dock you were able to jump off with no obstructions. It was pretty deep! I won the belly flop competition. (I do not recommend participating in such competitions as an adult.) The views were amazing. Watching storms roll in. Watching boats drive by. Our neighbor in the field was an osprey with some babies…up on an electrical line. It was great to watch the mama osprey hunt for fish. She did a better job than us. Owner was very easy to get ahold of, and was always kind and prompt. I will rent this house every year that it’s on the market. I just don’t think another house could compare.

Great North Carolina home on Lake Gaston.

Our family had an awesome summer vacation on beautiful (super clean) Lake Gaston! The cove that this house is on was very private with little boat traffic. The kids were in the lake all day and night. The 3 kayaks provided, let them explore the neighboring coves and the lights on the dock let them stay out there all night and fish. The house is updated and well decorated with spacious bathrooms, a large screened in porch, and comfortable mattresses in the bedrooms. The kid's favorite part of the house was definitely the basement. They loved the bunk beds, ping pong table and having their own TV and bathroom. Our family tries to go somewhere new every summer, but this rental will be hard not to come back to.

Terriffic stay at Lake Gaston

This was an awesome house for our family vacation. It was very clean and well maintained. The hosts were quick to respond to questions and supply everything you could possibly need, even down to firewood for the fire pit. The older kids loved having their own space downstairs. Lots of possibilities for water activities. There were two kayaks, a paddle board, and even a pedal boat which our three year old grandson loved riding in. The house is very close to a boat launch ramp. We loved having our boat docked at the house and always ready for tubing, swimming and wake surfing. The huge yard allowed plenty of room for outdoor games. And, we really enjoyed watching the neighborhood ospreys feeding their young. We would love to stay here again, and highly recommend it to others.
