Overall The stay was fantastic My only suggestions to make it a more memorable stay, is to one, install televisions in the upstairs bathrooms, better cleanliness of the outside patio area and furniture, and the finishing of the fire pit Then the property would be a perfect place to vacation

The house itself was spectacular! HOWEVER, if you are going for a true lake experience, I would NOT recommend this house. I could not bring my boat into the cove unless I "walked it up." Also, because it was in the back of the cove, the water was gross, and I would certainly not swim in it. It was only a couple of feet deep, as I witnessed others walking in the middle of the cove, and the water was only up to mid thigh level. Great house! Disappointing location!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful lake home. We had such a wonderful experience the first time that we decided to come back, and once again, it did not disappoint!The location is fantastic, and the home itself is beautiful, modern, exceptionally clean and tidy, with large, open spaces and tasteful décor throughout. The furniture is lovely and comfortable, and the house really has everything you could need. The kitchen is well equipped, with appliances, a stocked pantry and a large fridge/freezer.The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with fresh, clean linens and bedding, and there are plenty of extra throws in case anyone gets chilly at night.Our children absolutely loved the downstairs games room! There are toys, books, table tennis, a large TV and plenty of comfortable seating, so there is lots to keep everyone entertained.One of my favorite places is the large upper outdoor deck, with plenty of seating, a grill and TV — such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy being at the lake. Since our last stay, the owners have also added some beautiful landscaping and a huge firepit and seating area, which is pretty amazing!We all had the most wonderful time here and would absolutely stay again. It really feels like a home away from home. Thank you so much for another fantastic stay!

In addition to the new construction of the house, the added amenities were a very nice touch, along with the provided necessities (paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, laundry detergent, etc.). The shampoo/conditioner/soap dispensers in the showers and provided sink soaps were a pleasant surprise. Overall, a very nice house with very nice furnishings! Would stay here again!

This was a beautiful home to enjoy our family vacation on the lake! Check in was a breeze and all the thoughtful extras - toilet paper, paper towels, beach towels, soaps and shampoos were waiting for us!! All the beds were very comfortable as well as the living area furniture! The game room downstairs was a big hit and we enjoyed boating right from the back yard! Our family was very pleased! We will be back and look forward to more wonderful family memories in this beautiful home!

We loved this beautiful home!!

We stayed at this beautiful home for a few days just before the 4th of July, my husband and I, our three boys, and my parents, and absolutely loved it! The house exceeded our expectations, even better than the photos. It was tastefully furnished, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. There were plenty of cozy spots to relax and spend time together, and the Games Room was a huge hit with the kids, they especially loved the surprise feature! The location was perfect too, just a short drive to Food Lion and the marina, where we rented a boat for a fun day on the water. We had such a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again!

The house was exactly as pictured. We did not use the pullout sofa but the beds were comfortable. The game room was a great added bonus and all bathrooms were in working order. However, my only complaint is the house could use a little more cleaning. We were met by a huge spider in the main suite upon check in and there were spider webs in several corners of each room. Also urine was located on the base of the toilet in the master suite. The host communicated easy on check-in day. I would definitely stay again with a family.

Great Lake House Rental

It was a great place! The house was simply beautiful and right off the water. Waking up and able to see the water and drinking a cup of coffee was wonderful! The marina and grocery store was right down the road which made boating and getting things for dinner very convenient. The only thing I wish is that the deck and back of the house was power washed. Due to the number of spiders and webs we weren’t able to utilize the deck and furniture outside as much as we would have liked. I understand we were in the woods so bugs and spiders are to be expected. I know you can’t always spray down after every usage as well. Overall it was a great place to spend my wife’s birthday! We would definitely use again!!

Son’s wedding

WOW! Such a beautiful house. The pictures and descriptions are dead on, but it’s even better in person! The home is spacious, neat, clean and very comfortable. Our hosts included every detail; from the kitchen to the game room and more, it was all provided & we never needed anything during our entire stay. The 1st floor/game room is fun for all ages and has many special, clever surprises. (I won’t ruin the surprise) We loved the double dock, so we decided to rent a boat for a day. So easy to navigate ingress and egress. The home is in a terrific location, just a short ride to everything needed (food, novelties, spirits, boat rentals …) And excellent directions were provided. Our hosts were wonderful :) . Returned messages immediately and were very open to questions and requests. They thought of everything we might need and graciously provided it. The welcome book was excellent and well thought out. It was easy and enjoyable to read and answered all questions we may have had. (We were thrilled to see the beautiful family photo, made us feel more comfortable and “at home”) Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Beautiful home!! Would stay again

We had a great time at this house. It was fully stocked with everything we needed which was amazing. Plenty of towels, soaps, kitchen stuff, etc! The house is stunning and as we planned to spend most of our time at the house, we are glad we chose theirs. The beds were all super comfy :) Also, we did not have kids with us but the house had so many games and cute little things for kids, I’d recommend bringing kids here. While this was not a problem for us, the property is pretty steep so if you have anyone slightly older or with mobility issues, I’d be wary as the walk from the front of the house down to the backyard is steep or would require a lot of stairs through the house. It didn’t bother us though at all and I am 7 months pregnant! We only had 2 cars with us but there is soo much room for parking with 2 driveways. There isn’t really any kind of “town” nearby but literally everything you need is super close. The grocery store, pizza place, coffee shop, gas station, hardware store, a couple restaurants, etc. are all within 5-8 minutes of the house. We rented a water mat from AF wake which I highly recommend!! The only thing that bothered us was the sun deck on the dock was basically completely shaded until 3:30pm. The house is situated at the very end of a cove/canal so the water is more shallow with lots of tree coverage. Obviously that’s not something they can control but was kind of a bummer for us as we wanted to lay out and tan!

Beyond perfection!!!

This was our first time at Lake Gaston and to say the least, it was AMAZING!!! The house is straight out of a magazine in photos, but when we arrived, we realized that it was actually MORE impressive in person! The house is literally brand new and has high end finishes and features throughout. The appointments were more like a boutique hotel than a rental house. We always plan ahead, and found that EVERYTHING we could possibly need was already there. There was plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and enjoy relaxing inside, on the decks, and on the dock. We had four mid teens that fished off the docks, paddled in the kayaks, and played in the yard. It’s close enough to the neighbors to feel connected, but cozy and private with all the woods surrounding it. The neighbors were BEYOND AMAZING! they offered their water toys and such to the kids, we enjoyed the sense of community and literally felt like we had just moved in ourselves. Grocery and shops were right up the road. The only faults we had were minor. Don’t laugh…but this is a REAL review! There were a lot of mismatched light bulbs and our OCD was pinging with the combination of soft, bright and daylight colored bulb's. Easy fix! The thermostats were tricky as they kept bouncing back to the program. We used hold and set the hold time to end when we woke up. All in all, the house and weekend was magical! Communication with the owners was perfection. Book your stay!!!!

We loved the property and the ability to bring our boat! The property is located at the very back of a cove and there were too many leaves at the bottom to be able to go swimming at the house. The kayaks available were great to get the little ones out on the water though and they loved the play space downstairs! Thank you so much for sharing your home!

This is an absolutely amazing and beautiful home to stay at. This was the second year in a row that we’ve stayed there. Plenty of room for our group. Communal areas are spacious and yet there’s room to get away from everyone if you need a break. The dock is right, not for beginners. All the toys a provided, fire pit, ping pong table, outside deck with a nice grill, outside tv, sun deck, kayaks, fishing poles and so much more. Centrally located to everything. Only one negative comment and it’s just a minor one. The outside could use a power washing, lots of cobwebs. The hosts are great, easy to contact and communicate with. Already full of anticipation for next years trip.
