Great house and location. We loved our stay. The cove is the perfect place to float on a hot summer day. Be sure to bring your floats. We rented a boat for the week and had no trouble docking it at the pier. The house is well stocked. Check in was a breeze. Hot tub was a treat. The neighbors are super nice and the owners were great communicators. Would definitely recommend the house!

Easy

We've rented from Megan and James for several years as overflow sleeping accommodations for a larger gathering that we do annually. The check-in process has always been extremely smooth and they have been accommodating to our requests. We will definitely continue this tradition.

Awesome Rental Home

We absolutely loved our trip this past week to Lake Gaston. The house was perfect! Fabulous location on the lake in a great cove. We paddle boarded, kayaked and floated in our cove without any concern about boats or jet skis. The house set up was perfect. The two decks and the living room/kitchen had great lake views. The house had a well stocked kitchen, plentiful sleeping accommodations, and was CLEAN! This was our first trip to Lake Gaston and definitely will not be our last. Megan and James were super easy to work with and have a lovely rental home that they are willing to share. THANK YOU!

Comfortable lake house

The house and the setting are lovely. Deck with gates to keep a dog or toddler safe. Hot tub with lake view is relaxing. Well appointed kitchen. Only possible hesitation for elderly are some steps at entrance. Just a paradise overall.

Relaxing stay with family and friends

We had a lovely stay at the lakehouse. The location was perfect - at the end of a quiet cove so the kids could play without concern for boats around them. The house was clean, well stocked and spacious. The kids loved the upstairs space- it was perfect for all 5 of them to stay upstairs while the adults kept on the main floor. All had a great time and hope to return. Thanks to the wonderful hosts!

Family getaway

The property was nice, but a secure Wi-Fi is needed, there was expired food in the cabinet and open food in the freezer. There were not towels out for total needed. The blue rugs in first floor bathroom need to be tossed and they are fraying and it is carried into the shower. Great yard. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Family Getaway!

We rented this property for a family Thanksgiving Reunion. It was the perfect weekend getaway! We brought all our food, and cooked a feast together. Wonderfully stocked kitchen with everything you need, from pots and pans, to spices if you forget one! We enjoyed eating together, playing indoor games, finished a 500 piece puzzle together while watching Madagascar :D, brought our double Kayak, and enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and firepit!! A Wonderful location, and a Lovely Home, with incredible views. :) Thank you Megan and James for opening up your beautiful home!

GREAT family time!

The location of this house is awesome? The little ones could stand and play in the water and the adults could float around at the end of the dock. The home was also extremely well stocked. Loved having the hot tub!

Wonderful family vacation at Lake Gaston!

We’ve been renting vacation homes at Lake Gaston for many years and this is one of the best we’ve stayed at so far. Perfect layout for our group of 3-4 adults, 4-5 kids, and 2 dogs. The kids loved having their own space upstairs (the youngest ones were so excited to have a mini kitchen up there) and the adults enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness of the downstairs bedrooms. Kitchen is a good size and easy to maneuver in with a larger crowd, and well-stocked with dishes, spices, pots and pans. The large dining table sat all of us comfortably. A HUGE bonus for us with toddlers and dogs was the rolling outdoor patio gates that allowed us to close off the deck stairs and keep them corralled with us on the beautiful deck. Plenty of parking for cars and it was easy for us to tie off the boat on the dock. We all enjoyed swimming in the cove and relaxing in the hot tub. We experienced a neighborhood-wide power outage while there and the owners were responsive and checked in with the energy company for us. A five-star stay and we will definitely be back!!

Best lake house yet

Plenty of room for the 11 of us, excellent location, right on the lake, swimming right there at the house. House was stocked with everything you need. Only drawback is the lack of local shopping, whether it be groceries, gifts, etc. the local stores have questionable meats and such, walmart is 35 minutes away. this is not a reflection on the house, but just a warning in general, as there is not too much around. this is by far the best lake location and house amenities we have found to date

Very nice house and property

Loved the house and property. Although a couple of chairs on the top deck were broken, the propane tanks were both empty.Boat parking was very small. Owners should put there boat on the trailer when they rent out property. also should let renters know of small boat area in the water as I had 2 boats there. Also trash from previous renters was never picked up and I had to drive 1/2 hour each way to empty it myself.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 July 2021
Thanks so much for the feedback Joe. First I'd like to apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. Secondly, I do wish you would have reached out to us during your stay as we could have remedied several of the issues you experienced. From now on, I really do suggest reaching out to the owners of a home you're renting as we don't know what we don't know. Our cleaning crew is normally really good about letting us know about damage but it does appear they missed the broken chairs. We were actually at the house for 2 weeks after your stay and we were able to take care of some items that needed replacing. We've replaced all broken chairs, and even added a new patio and new firepit down by the lake. I also do have to say that only one boat is allowed per renter. We've made it more clear in our house rules section due to your feedback, but am sorry you did not know that ahead of your stay. We cannot allow renters to use our lift, as one summer we did and ended up spending thousands having to get the whole thing re-cabled. We provide a propane grill, and cannot guarantee the status of the tanks in between renters, but do offer reimbursement if you just send us the receipt. As far as the trash, again I wish you would have let us know because we would have called the county for you, and they would have come and picked it up. Being in a more rural area, sometimes the trash just gets missed and we have to call. Thanks again for renting our home, hope you had a good stay despite the issues.
