Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time and the owners were very responsive and accommodating. It was two families of 4 (2 adults & 2 kiddos) and it was plenty of room. The cove was perfect for younger kiddos. It was a great retreat for two fireman and their families.

Perfect Spot for a Family Gathering

Our family absolutely loved staying at this property! It was spacious, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for a large group. The lakefront view, game room, and outdoor deck was a highlight, providing a relaxing and fun space for everyone to gather. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals for the entire group. The hosts were fantastic, responsive, and ensured our stay was seamless. This property truly helped make our family gathering special, and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you!

Well equipped, comfortable, and specious

The house was a bit low on paper towels and toilet paper when we arrived, but was otherwise very well equipped. Brian was very proactive and responsive, offering to have the handyman swing by with paper products and--when my daughter lost her new earrings at the property--drove from Raleigh himself to search for them.

Worth every penny! Will be renting it again!

We took our management team up to Lake Gaston for a ‘strategic planning weekend’ and we could not have had a better time! The accommodations were first class! Beautiful home; beautiful view; wonderful stay! Communication with the owners could not have been any better! We’re already planning next year’s retreat at this home!

Amazing place with owners that care

The best place we have stayed as a family hands down. Kids and adults had a blast on the water and the owners did so many special touches. From leaving my daughter a happy birthday basket to setting up the hammock and fire pit for us. Kids are already asking when we are going back. We couldn’t have been happier.

Amazing soace

This house had everything you need for a fantastic weekend. Stayed with 12 guys and we were all comfortable. Plenty of space, plenty of room for activities, great dock and outdoor space. The lake was beautiful and it was a treat to use the kayaks and paddle boards. Would highly recommend this to any group of friends or family gatherings.

Empty nesters

One of the best properties I have ever stayed in. We had 8 adults and had more than enough room. The fire pit and hot tub were fabulous and the lake toys, paddle boards, kayaks, life vests, floats, you name it the house had it. The house over all was stocked with everything you could need. The only thing was our food and the hosts were fantastic! Very responsive with any questions we had. I highly recommend and would go back if visiting Lake Gaston

Fabulous well-stocked home!

Beautiful home and well-stocked. We had eight in our group and had plenty to do with all the board games and ping-pong and kayaks. We had nightly fires at the beautiful fire pit. The layout of the house was perfect for us--areas for quiet reading while another group is watching a movie, privacy of the bedrooms, etc. The hot tub was a great finish to the day. The hosts were responsive and flexible with our check-in and check-out (helps that we stayed in off-peak season!). Highly recommend!

Spacious and Beautiful lakefront home

My family of 7 adults spent 3 nights at this lovely lake house for an 80th birthday celebration for my mom. We loved it! The house was very clean, beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations, and had large bedrooms and gathering areas. We enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, paddle boards and sitting on the large dock together. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals for everyone. Communication with the owners was easy and I always received a quick response to any question. We would love to stay here again!
