Wow! The first thing you notice when you walk in the front door is the lake. There are absolutely spectacular views from everywhere. It's like you are living right on the water. The second thing you notice is that it's a really nice home with high quality finishes and furnishings, and plenty of space for everyone in your large group of family and friends. There are large spaces both inside and out where everyone can get together, as well as plenty of space to spread out when you need some private time.
Hideaway boasts a spacious 4400 square foot floor plan with 3 levels of living space. The 6 bedrooms (plus Sunroom w/trundle bed) and 3.5 baths allow you to comfortably sleep 16. Hideaway could easily accommodate more people by many rental standards, but we limit the group sizes so we can maintain our high standards of quality.
Hideaway is the perfect home for extended families, multiple families, and groups of friends or colleagues. You will enjoy spectacular main lake views from decks, the sun deck on the double boat house, and most rooms. People are also thrilled with the patio overlooking the lake with 2 covered seating areas, and a huge uncovered area with a fire pit. Hideaway is located in the "South West Quad" of the lake in Harbor Landing, an exclusive gated community of lakefront homes in Macon, NC.
If you are one of the families or groups of friends who come back year after year for your vacation at the lake, we thank you. If you have not yet stayed with us, we hope you will give Hideaway a try, have a great time, and then become one of our regular guests.

I would highly recommend this property to any large family. Spacious, clean house, beautiful views and so much fun to be had! Andre was incredibly responsive throughout our stay.
We had a great week. The house was equipped with anything you could possible need. Lots of activities and space. The outside patios and dock was well furnished.
This property has everything you could ask for and so much more! Plenty of room, very clean and very well stocked as well as amazing views! I could go on and on! Our family had an absolutely wonderful time and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Big ‘thank you’ to our host Andre’!
Outstanding property, amazing views, great entertainment!
This is an outstanding property. It was super clean, comfortable, and a wonderful atmosphere. The property, lake and available amenities (paddle boards, trampoline, etc) kept us occupied the entire week. Can't recommend this home highly enough - we had a great experience! Owner was very responsive and easy to work with.
we were impressed with the amenities that were supplied. The dock and trampoline was a big hit with everyone. The house supplied everything we could possibly need. Communication with the owners was wonderful, had a few questions during our stay, that were answered right away. overall a wonderful experience. Definitely, should be on your list to go too!!!
We booked The Hideaway for a weekend women's retreat and the house was perfect for our gathering. The property has a cozy feel and lots of privacy. There was enough space for all of us to spread out when needed and a large living room for us to come together for group gatherings. The bedrooms were more spacious, too, and we loved that there were no bunks! Everything we needed to prepare meals was available and there was plenty of table space inside and out for us to sit during meals. We loved the dock and the ladies enjoyed taking turns with the kayak. I especially loved the hammock as the weather on Saturday was gorgeous! Andre was very communicative and very understanding about some of our requests leading up to our stay. I couldn't have asked for better. All in all, a great weekend.
Our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed our week at the lake. Home was spacious and we especially enjoyed the pontoon rental, jumping off the deck and the water trampoline.
Amazing location on the main lake with wonderful views. House was big enough for our family reunion and was clean. We also rented the pontoon boat which was essential for our group and we got a lot of use out of that and the tube and knee board.
Nice vacation place to relax and catch up with family
Overall, great place to relax and catch up with family. Plenty of room. Kitchen well-stocked. Lots of chairs outside. Rented the pontoon and had lots of fun with that and the kayaks and paddle boards. Owner was very responsive when contacted. Internet was weak which didn't bother adults, just the younger group. we would recommend this place!
Property was clean and well stocked for large group. Lakeside facilities, including pontoon boat were excellent. Would rent property again. Only shortcoming was extremely slow and unreliable internet.

Wonderful family vacation!
My extended family spent a long weekend enjoying ourselves at this beautiful home. There was tons of space so no one felt cramped. Ample fridge space among the 3 full side fridges. The outside space is amazing!! We enjoyed the lake every single day, the water was very chilly but didn't stop our 3 kiddos from swimming to and from the water trampoline. Lots of paddleboard available for those who wanted to stay out of the water. And the kitchen was stocked with every single item you could need, tons of plates, pots and pans, a crockpot, pancake griddle. Look no further, you have found a gem on Lake Gaston!

Family Getaway
House was setup great, kitchen appliances I would say plenty and worked well. Gas fireplace was a hit on cooler nights. Fire pit was nice for evening relaxation outside. Patio’s and decks allowed everyone to have a space. We rented the boat and everyone enjoyed cruising around lake shore looking at the beautiful homes. Enjoyed our time away thank you for renting your home.

beautiful views
We had an absolutely wonderful time and the house was perfect for our group. The views were breath taking, especially at sunset, and we loved all of the outdoor space. The only thing I wish we would have known was to bring trash bags, dishwasher detergent, and paper towels, as that was not provided and led us to have to drive the 25 minutes to the closest food lion. But it was a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend it!

Lovely Vacation Rental!
This was my first experience renting an Airbnb and I must say it was very pleasant! The owners, Andre & Nancy, were super nice and responded promptly to questions. The ride in was a little tricky, but not enough to get lost (you know how gps can be sometimes). The interior was furnished very nicely and the atmosphere felt like home. Plenty of dining space, wide open family room w/fireplace, beautiful master bedroom/bath - just too many nice things to mention. You've got to try it for yourself. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home as a place to vacation. I'd love to go there during the summer to get in some fishing or just sitting out on the deck! Thumbs up for Andre & Nancy!

Cozy place with great views
Really enjoyed our 2 day stay over the New Year. We had 4 families with a total of nine kids stay and the place was perfect. Having enough bedrooms for everyone, a game room, fire pit and two separate tv rooms was exactly what we needed. The place was clean and well organized and made our stay enjoyable. Looking forward to visiting Lake Gaston again when it’s warmer.

The merriest of Christmases!
The property is absolutely beautiful and housed my family and the in-laws comfortably. It was an awesome Christmas by the lake. We even had matching sweatshirts that said “Flakes by the Lake”! There was no problem at all with the house. Would absolutely recommend this property!

Beautiful property overlooking the lake with gorgeous sunsets
This house is so well stocked. There is plenty of anything you might need for a group gathering. Everything is so comfortable - the bedding, the seating, the outdoor areas. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for and feed a large group. We had 15 adults and it was perfect for cooking, dining, sleeping and gathering. We've stayed in this house three times and hope to have more weekend visits in the future!
