WONDERFUL STAY

Great location. Loved the access to the lake and having the pool as well. Despite some thunderstorms(yeah!-we don't get many of those in Oregon) we had a blast. Loved the elevated covered deck... We spent most of our time there when not in the water. Beds very comfortable as well.

Amazing Stay

This place is even more amazing than the pictures and reviews show. Lake, pool, and game room were so fun for the kids. The deck and dock were relaxing for the adults. The week went by so fast. Valerie was super respinsive. Would love to come back yearly!

Beautiful property

Beautiful lake house and property with great outdoor space! We especially loved hanging out on back deck overlooking pool and lake. Plenty of activities to do at house with pool, kayaking, and fishing from dock! We also enjoyed the lake by renting a boat for a few days. Definitely will be back in the future!

Fabulous

I can’t say enough positive things about this vacation home. Beautifully appointed, incredibly clean and every possible item you can think of to cook. I used both the crock pot and the waffle maker! Second time I have rented this house and already booked a third trip.

Best Vacation Ever

As a family we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. It was so nice to have our children and grandchildren all together. The home was perfect with enough space for everyone to gather together and to have space in private. The pool and the boathouse were the main hangout. We are a water group so fishing, swimming and boating make us happy and your home offered it all. Great place and great host who answered our question quickly.

Wonderful vacation!

We have stayed in several homes at Lake Gaston over the years and this home was definitely our favorite. The home was beautiful and had everything you would need for an enjoyable vacation. Our family loved cooling off at the pool on all those hot days. Also, enjoyed fishing and hanging out at the dock as well. We definitely hope to vacation here in the future!

Amazing lake house

This is our second year at the house. We loved it last year but the changes the homeowners made are incredible. The covered deck is very comfortable as well as the dock area and pool. We have already reserved a week for next year.

The Best Blessed Family Vacation

Our family had the most amazing time at Pretty Creek, one of the best family vacation we have had without my mother, the pool was great, just wished it had lights for night fun, the TV at the dock would have been fun. But we couldn’t get it to work, overall the house was very comfortable, we would consider staying there again We didn’t find the Guestbook, but beautiful home. Blessing, Sarah

First Time Lake House Renter

Our first time renting a lake house and we are sold! This home and the decor is charming and welcoming, and very well stocked. From kitchen appliances and necessities to pool toys, beach towels and everything in between. This is an impeccably kept home inside and out with no detail overlooked! The neighborhood is quiet and private. We enjoyed our vacation here and will be coming back! Thank you, Valerie for sharing your lovely home.

Five star vacation

What a positively fabulous vacation home! The pictures simply do not do it justice. The home was beautifully decorated, immaculate, and fully supplied with so many items that made our trip easier. This host thought of everything from pool towels and sunblock, to spices, and even a waffle maker. I have already shared this listing with 3 friends and we will certainly rebook if we make it back to Lake Gaston. We had a relaxing week on the lake but this home was what made it a perfect vacation.

Third Time!!!

This is our third year at this beautiful home and again, we had a marvelous time!! The new addition to the back deck/porch has been fantastic and we spent a great deal of time there. The pool was a hit with the kids and adults and a great way to cool off after a hot day on the lake. Thanks Valerie for your prompt response to our questions and thanks for sharing your home with us! We would give this home 10 stars if we could!!!!

The perfect house for our annual 4th of July Getaway!

We had 10 people share this house for almost a week - 4 adults and 6 children. The space was perfect for our two families. The older kids slept in the basement, which they loved! The pool was the best part! If we weren't on the boat, the kids were in the pool! The house was clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The owner (Valerie) was very easy to work with and her response time was great! We hope to stay here again soon! Thank you Valerie!

Amazing house at Lake Gaston

I've been visiting Lake Gaston for over 20 years and this property was by far the nicest. The amenities are very family friendly and there is nothing that we would have changed. The pool offered a great way to cool off during the afternoons and the dock was great for fishing and swimming. There was tons of space for everyone in the family and the locking back deck doors were great to keep our adventurous toddler safe. We rented a boat and jetski from a nearby business and the dock had excellent tie offs for both. The fire pit was a big hit and offered a perfect view of the lake at sunset. Valerie was a great host and was extremely responsive throughout our stay. We're already planning our return trip and will be counting the days until our next stay!

A Great Vacation House!

My family and I had a fantastic week at the house. Perfect location right on the lake with a great boat house for plenty of fishing and swimming from. The pool is awesome and was a huge hit with everyone, as was the hot tub at night. The house was clean, with plenty of towels and extra blankets. The ping pong table was also a big hit. Overall, just a great vacation. Valerie, the owner, is very nice and easygoing. She was instantly responsive to one minor issue and had it resolved very quickly. The area itself is very laid-back and not "tourist-y" at all. Very easy to relax here. I most highly recommend this house. We are planning on returning next year!

About the host

Hosted by Valerie beatty

Host profile image
We chose Littleton/lake Gaston because we both have deep roots in the area dating back to the early 1900's, and we absolutely love the peace and serenity the area provides. Our ultimate goal is to live in the home full time, but while we are in the planning stages we would love for others to enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This is a great location! Access to and from the home via major roads and highways is a breeze. The views are outstanding any time of day. The pool, ample bedrooms and open floor plan allow for great group gatherings.

What makes this property unique

We want our guest to kick back and relax by the pool, enjoy the hot tub, swim in the lake, sleep in late and simply enjoy time spent with family and friends. Our ultimate goal for you is ease of booking, ease of communication and an awesome vacation experience!!!
