The dock features full sun almost all day. Boaters can tie up on either side of the dock. There is a diving board for the gymnasts in the family. Plenty of room for chairs or laying out. The house is located in a subdivision with quick access to a gas/ convenience store. Restaurants and a strip mall with a Food Lion is just a few miles down the main road. Three bed rooms and a futon sofa ensures plenty of sleep area for this small cottage. one bedroom features a queen bed. the second bedroom has a full size bed. The third bedroom features two sets of bunk beds (one with a full size bed on the bottom). Sorry, but we dont have a TV, or a phone land line (we like the fact that lake Gaston is our get-a-way we can forget the bustle and distractions of the work week or the city). Trust us, you will not miss them at all. There is high speed internet and most cell phones have decent signal from the house and dock. There are two bathrooms, one with a stand alone shower and the other with a tub/shower. There is both drip and Keurig machines for coffee lovers.
PLEASE NOTE we have a septic system! please do not flush anything but human waste and toilet paper down the drains.
We are pet friendly! But please clean up after your pets.
There is plenty of parking so bring the whole family. Welcome to lake Gaston! Enjoy!

This was a very nice stay. There was a small issue about the cleaning, but it didn't affect our stay. Windows and cobwebs mostly. But a very nice place and very nice neighbors.

Great location

We were a family of 4 that met our friends for a weekend at the lake. The view is fantastic and the house inside was clean and neat. Overall we had a great time. I have to say that the landscaping could be neatened, the house and porch could use a powerwash and some of the planks should be replaced.

Perfect Lake Gaston Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at Jeff’s place. We had three kids and two dogs and still had plenty of space. The location; nestled off in a quiet cove with a dock for our rental boat, and a diving board! It was exactly for what we were looking. Jeff was very accommodating to our needs and requests. Overall I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a much needed getaway from the bustling 9-5 world.

Great location

The view from the dock looks out from the cove to the main lake. The four of us could sit comfortably on the Adirondack chairs on the dock. The porch was a great place to read or just sit to look out to the lake. The house is older and could use some updating. The kitchen was short on utensils (bring your own sharp knives, measuring cups and spoons).

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Perera

Hi, I'm Jeff and this is my family's property. It has been part of our family since the mid eighties. We have seen Lake Gaston grow tremendously. We love the lake and the community and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

This small cottage is the perfect lake getaway. The location is what makes this a true find. Many places on the lake are nice but don't have great lake views or sun most of the day. This location has it all. Its situated in a quiet cove, ideal for swimming, fishing or paddle boarding. Enjoy the sunny dock all day and sunsets in the evening. The house has the basic amenities but you come to the lake to enjoy the outdoors at an affordable price. Room for several so the whole family can enjoy. Located less than 2 hours from Richmond, Va Beach or Raleigh makes the property easily accessible. Also , stores and restaurants are only a few miles away. We think you will enjoy it as much as we do.
