There is NOTHING bad that I can say about Ms. Elle, the property, or our stay at Icing! Every thing was clean, in order, and properly stocked. We were left w/ clear check out instructions and everything we needed for our stay was on hand. I really cannot say thank you enough for making this a memorable weekend!
We enjoyed our stay at Icing on the Lake during Thanksgiving! There was lots of space for everyone in our group of 19. The house was well stocked for cooking, as well as, playing games, watching movies in the theater room, and simply spending quality time together. Everything was beautifully decorated and the host was gracious and welcoming. I would highly recommend this property for large family gatherings!
The house was incredibly spacious with wonderful access to the lake. We were impressed with all of the labels on the light switches and how comfortable the house was. looking forward to a return visit!
Great weekend and host was awesome. Our crowd was a “little loud” on Friday night and the host handled it perfectly… (again .. we apologize) I have a house at lake gaston but our house wasn’t big enough to host this group. This house has it all!!! Thank you so much!!
The house was lovely, spacious, clean and stocked with everything needed. Communicating with Elle was easy and information was clear. We loved spending time on the dock and got to enjoy the water with the paddle boards and kayaks provided. The fire pit, movie room and hot tub were all other highlights within our group. We would take a large group back here in a heart beat.
Beautiful home on the lake! The house was perfect! Though large and roomy, many specifically said it felt cozy. There was lots to do and I really appreciated the second full kitchen. The owner was very friendly and easy to contact. We chatted a few times prior to our trip. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again in the future!
family friendly, large and clean property that had everything we could want! our host was very communicative! overall a great stay for a big family gathering!
What an amazing place to spend some time! The house is perfect for large families, with space for everyone. Lots of activities, and a beautiful setting right on the lake. Great stay!
Lovely spacious home with well equipped necessities for a large family vacation. The kitchen offered many items—multiple dish wear/silverware items, cookware, large cabinet spaces for food storage and essentials for making our vacation easy. The furniture, throughout the house, was very comfortable. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy a meal, conversation or nap! Everything was great—both inside and outside!
Beautiful house on an inlet off lake Gaston which made it great for swimming & easy access with the boat to the lake. House is in perfect condition and well furnished.
Our stay was absolutely perfect! We recently found out we had long lost family members and we got to have the most special reunion at this house. Elle was so responsive and helpful and the house had everything we needed! I would absolutely recommend and we look forward to going back!!
We had 5 couples staying in this beautiful home and plenty of room to spare. It was clean, well equipped, and easy to maneuver. We plan to go back. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
This was a great house for our week at Lake Gaston. The house is on a cove and everyone had fun playing in the lake without having to worry about "traffic." We rented boat and we all enjoyed tubing and skiing. We had one rainy day, but there is so much to do inside, no one was bored. The decor was lovely and there was more than plenty of space for our group to spread out. The kitchen is definitely fully stocked and the additional refrigerators - and second kitchen - made things easier for our big group. If you're looking for a great house on Lake Gaston, look no further than Icing on the Lake.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Lake Gaston. You really could not ask for a nicer stay. The house is huge. There is so much space for everyone. The house was furnished beautifully and there are so many fun things to do, even in the winter. I can’t say enough nice things about our stay!
My entire experience was amazing. The host was very easy to reach and quick to respond. The place was perfect. It included all we could ask for. It exceeded my expectations on every level. Very clean, very comfortable living areas and an amazing entertainment area. I can’t wait to come back.
This place is wonderful. One of the best properties I've stayed in using VRBO. The layout, the openness was spectacular. We rented this house as a surprise for my mom's 74th birthday and she was blown away. The kids didn't want to leave. If you are looking for a place to get away and relax with your family this is a great place with 8 bedrooms in a multi-level home. 5 stars all around.
We love all the space that this place provides, both in bedrooms and in living spaces, including 2 full kitchens. Elle, the owner, was so helpful in answering my questions!! All our communication was clear and quick. We had an issue on our end because of a family situation and she helped us in every way possible to solve the problem. Looking forward to being there next year!

About the host
Hosted by Elle Adams
I was always a beach girl until I discovered lake life. Never going back! I enjoy all the recreational opportunities a lake offers. I recently started hosting and love getting to share my love for our lake with others.
Why they chose this property
We are at mile marker 14 on the lake. I feel that this is a prime location being close to Poplar Pointe Marina (wood-fired pizza, live music, and a great atmosphere), Holly Grove marina (yummy food, huge ice cream scoops, and refueling), Corona Beach, and some of the best areas for boating, skiing, and boarding. The July 4th boat parade is close by at MM16 too!
What makes this property unique
I love how we are protected in a cove, yet still have a view and can easily paddle out to the main lake (which takes less than a few minutes). Being in the cove offers worry-free and safe swimming for families with kids and great fishing possibilities.
