About this property

"Sunrise on the Lake" Small Private Beach on Pea Hill Creek

This property has one of the best views on the lake!
Dear Vacationer - * Please bring your own towels and linens and we recommend your own pillows.


LOCATION- The HOUSE is on a quiet cul-de-sac, in Henrico, NC on the NE Quad on beautiful Pea Hill Creek. It takes two hours from Virginia Beach, two hours from Raleigh, NC, one hour and forty five minutes from Richmond and three-four hours from Maryland and Washington, DC.

PEA HILL CREEK is large and has some of the cleanest water on the lake and is mostly calm. However, if you want rougher water, the main lake is a 5 minute boat ride away. You can enjoy swimming, fishing, jet-skiing, sunbathing, and boating on the lake. Lake Gaston has 350-miles of shoreline. It is 34 miles in length and 1.3 miles across at its widest point.

The BOAT DOCK is a short walk from the house with a very gentle slope. At the boat dock, you will find enough cleats to tie up your boat and there is 8 feet of crystal clear water at end of the dock to jump into safely. Bring your food down to the boat dock. You'll find a table and chairs where you can eat and watch all the lake activities up close, or relax and soak up the sun on one of our comfortable lounge chairs.

A PRIVATE BOAT RAMP is only 4 houses away. There are games for the kids to play in the house in case it rains or for use in the evenings.

The SANDY BEACH is small, natural, private and steps from the house. The little ones can play in it and build sand castles.

FISHING is excellent at Lake Gaston. Cast from the dock or a boat and catch bass, perch, catfish, sunfish and crappie. They're waiting for you.

The HOUSE is a one-story house and is clean and comfortable with excellent views of the lake. The house has Central A/C and Heat. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans. There are three bedrooms - (3) Queen beds, as well as (1) Pull-out Queen bed in the tan couch located in the great room. The house is not wheel chair accessible to get in and out of because there are 3 steps, but to get to the water from the house, there is a gentle slope that a wheel chair could easily negotiate. RENTERS SUPPLY THEIR OWN BATH TOWELS, LINENS AND PILLOWS.



The KITCHEN is equipped with all your needed appliances, 12 cup coffee maker and a Keurig single cup, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and a slow cooker. You can also prepare your meals on our Gas Grill located on the house deck overlooking the lake.

The DINING ROOM seats six but an extra folding table and chairs can seat two more for a total of 8.

To Buy FOOD - Food Lion, Hamburgers and Hot dogs, Pizza with delivery, ATM, Ace Hardware and gas station located only 5 minutes from the house. (Make a right on River Rd and drive 5 mins) On the weekends, less than one mile away, is the Lake Gaston Flea Market. Great bargains and produce!

Renters supply their own towels, sheets and pillows. NO SMOKING. One small dog may be allowed. $200 Fee applies.


RENTER TESTIMONIALS
Good Evening Chris,
We had a BLAST! Wish we were there right now!! As I mentioned when we
spoke last Thursday evening, we love your place. The house and location (we
love Pea Hill Creek) are great. We had a great time and hope to spend some
time (perhaps 2 weeks) there next summer. When do you begin booking for next year?
We're attaching a photo of the family so you can 'meet' the Stephenson's.
Thanks again.
A and J Stephenson


Hi Chris,
We had a fabulous time at the lake! Your house is at a great location on
the lake, and we liked that we could swim from the dock. This was
probably our most restful vacation.
Denny did go golfing a few times at the local golf course.
Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home.
Ginny S.


Lake house was AWESOME! We had an amazing time and hope to return sometime maybe even this summer if it's not already rented out. Thanks,
Kate

We loved it!

We had so much fun at this house. Probably one of our best vacations! The house was perfect for our needs. It has a shallow area great for kids but also deep enough at the dock to jump in. The shallow swimming area is shaded in the afternoon which saved us (heatwave that week). The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked there most nights. We even caught some decent size fish from the dock. We truly had a great time!

Best friends get away

My friend and I are beginning to steal away long weekends after decades of saying “one day” we’ll go there. This was a quiet, spacious home on the lake. We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing time we spent there. Fully equipped kitchen made it incredibly easy to stay in.

Family of five with three young kids. The little beach area was great. Fun for play in the sand and easy to launch a kayak or paddleboard. We caught a ton of fish off the dock, nothing too large. We did see some larger fish early AM pass through. The view is spectacular! We'd love to stay again.

Perfect week at the lake

Just got home from an absolutely perfect week at Lake Gaston. The house was everything we needed and the lake access was beyond our expectations. We spent the majority of our time on the dock and in the lake and could not have wanted more from a rental! Would highly recommend this property-incredible value!

Pea Hill Creek

The view of Pea Hill Creek was beautiful. It was quiet and relaxing to sit on the deck and enjoy being there. The property accommodated our needs but needs some sprucing up. The shower truly could use a suction grasp bar for holding onto while showering for safety sake.

Great house and very comfortable for 8 people.

The house and property was just what my family needed for a week at Lake Gaston. The view from the deck was spectacular and we really enjoyed the beach area which was shady in the afternoon and so welcomed after being in the sun most of the day. Chris (the owner) was very helpful and made sure we had a great week. We definitely will go back.

Perfect location

This property was amazing. We had a small Carolina skiff and it was so nice to have the boat ramp close by. The beach was perfect for our grandchildren ages 1 and two. The view of the lake was stunning and the house was well stocked and clean. The short walk to the dock and beach was so nice! I will definitely try to stay again.

Area is wonderful

The area is beautiful and the location on the lake is beautiful with a great area for kids to be in the lake. The house is less desirable. The house sleeps 8 but one pull out couch was broken and the other was so bad the kids didn’t want to sleep on it. Few amenities, but the value met the price.
