We had an awesome time! The house was by far the cleanest we have stayed in and we have been coming to Lake Gaston for 20 years. We loved the paddle boards and kayaks and really appreciated being able to access the boathouse. Excellent location. Parking was a little tricky with three vehicles (plenty of room to park-just had to shuffle vehicles a few times to get out) but that wasn't a big deal at all. Marc was great and very quick to respond to messages. Wonderful week!!

We found the place to be very kid and dog friendly. We enjoyed spending time on the dock and the back porch. The views are gorgeous and the community setting is very beautiful and quiet. The accommodations were as advertised. Our 4 kids loved the double bed bunk beds. This is probably the best stocked kitchen I've stayed at. We cooked each night and they had everything we needed from a pizza pan to a spice rack to a garlic press. We wish we could have stayed longer to truly take advantage of it all. Location-wise, you are right down the road from renting a boat, playing mini golf, and a grocery store. The owner has been very communicative and friendly. We will definitely look to stay here again.

This home on Lake Gaston was absolutely perfect!!! There are so many great things we can say- very quiet area/neighborhood, extremely clean, well maintained home. Marc was fantastic with communication. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. There were plently of towels and the bed linens were great quality. The mattresses with very comfy in all the rooms. We rented a boat from Lake Gaston Summer Rentals- super service, well maintained boat, very clean. Would definitely recommend using this location!We spent every evening either down on the dock or around the fire pit. All the outdoor amenities were well maintained. One of our favorite places in the house was the screened-in porch. Super comfy furniture to sit and have morning coffee. We definitely recommend renting this home, we hope to be able to return ourselves.

As the first guests at this house, we are excited to leave a 5-star review for "Chillin and Grillin!" It was our first visit to Lake Gaston and it did not disappoint! The house was super clean, kitchen well-equipped, and beds comfortable. There was nothing we needed that we could not find! The house is not too far from the lake, with the fire pit about halfway in-between which we enjoyed to make s'mores. There were 2 paddle boards and 2 kayaks available to us, which was awesome. We rented a boat from the nearby Eaton Ferry Marina, and Food Lion is less than 10 minutes away. There is also a gas station/marina around the corner. The host, Marc, was very responsive and we hope to stay here again. Thank you!

The cleaning crew clearly takes pride in their work. Very clean and well appointed home. Set up well for indoor and outdoor meals. We enjoyed the dock. Caught a few catfish, bass and perch. FYI - a turtle decided to lay eggs right at the bottom of the rear deck stairs:-)
