Peace and quiet

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Awesome Sunsets. The kitchen is fully stocked and I cooked every night. Even though it was just the two of us, this place is great to share with family! The two separate living areas would allow for some great family fun playing pool and games while also providing some personal space. The view from the boat dock was a little slice of heaven. We could truly see ourselves living lake life on a more permanent basis. The hosts have really outdone themselves with all the little touches to make any length of stay a memorable one.

Family Thanksgiving

We rented Awesome Sunsets as a central location for our extended family to celebrate Thanksgiving 2023. The property was immaculate and well appointed. Given that the main event was Thanksgiving, we were delighted to find 3 large refrigerator/freezers inside and another at the boat house. The house provided plenty of entertainment options for the family. We were delighted with this wonderful vacation rental!

About the host

Your host

Hello! I'm Don, your host at "Awesome Sunsets" on Lake Gaston. We're a family with three grown-up boys who still love to vacation at the lake along with their families, including our two adorable granddaughters. We're lucky to have four furry friends as well - a Golden Retriever, a Rottweiler, and two German Shepherds - who make our family time even more fun!

We first discovered Lake Gaston about five years ago when we downsized our boat for more family-friendly activities. We fell in love with the clean and warm water, and it quickly became our dream home location. After months of searching, we found "Awesome Sunsets" and knew it was the perfect fit for us. We decided to share our home as a vacation rental and connected with Bob, our amazing co-host with years of Lake Gaston rental experience, to help us provide the best possible experience for our guests.

We're open to suggestions and ideas from your perspective to make your family vacation at "Awesome Sunsets" truly amazing. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
