8 bedroom, 4.5 Bath Lake Front Home with Boathouse. Sleeps 18

Perfect for large family gatherings. We were able to get all our kids and their families together for the first time in 3 years. The house is smartly decorated, with not many knick-knacks for the little ones to get into. We had 2 toddlers, and the most trouble they got into was the tupperware. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen has everything you would need. Market, liquor store, Family Dollar, and gas station are within 10 mins. Perfect spot to spend a week doing absolutely nothing but relaxing on the water. We rented the boat, went out a few times a day, and there are great places to stop and swim on the main Lake. With this being on a cove it great, you don't get the large waves from the traffic on the other side. The only suggestion would be to bring water shoes. Some littles may not like the feeling of the sand and shells on their feet. Highlights of the week: a birthday for the two 2-year-olds, an engagement, my granddaughter caught her first fish, boating and swimming in the lake, paddleboarding and kayaking. It was so great to be able to relax and enjoy family time. This was a great week.

We had a great time. Property was amazing.

One could not ask for a better host or better property for a lake vacation. The house is immaculate and stocked with every need you could anticipate met with top notch quality. Highly recommend for an enjoyable vacation experience. The host goes above and beyond to assure guests are taken care of. Will definitely return!!

Every year at the end of May our family gathers for a week long vacation. Normally we go to the NC beaches. To appease my husband, who grew up going to lakes in Michigan, we decided to skip the ocean and choose a lake instead. It was our first time vacationing at Lake Gaston. The house itself was perfect for our large group — comfortable beds, large dining area and a fully stocked kitchen. The back porch is awesome and comes in handy on rainy days. We also enjoyed spending evenings around the fire pit. The kids absolutely loved playing in the lake! The paddle board and kayaks were a big hit and we enjoyed the pontoon rides as well. Kayaking to Goat Island was one of the highlights, especially for the younger boys who imagined they were off to hunt for hidden pirate booty! We had no issues communicating with Alan, the owner. He is very pleasant and prompt with answers to questions. Wouldn’t hesitate returning to this beautiful lake!

We had a great time at the lake! There were 18 of us ranging in age from 7 months to 79 years. We did it all... swam, kayaked, paddle-boarded, lake tours on pontoon boat. On rainy days foosball tournaments, movies. S'mores. Lots of talking on porch! Loved it!

This is the second year in a row my group of 8 adult friends have stayed at this property. The layout of the house makes for an extremely comfortable visit. Everything is as advertised ….clean, fully stocked and ready to use. We especially appreciate the extra large refrigerator and two different types of outdoor grills. We are already looking forward to our return visit!

Our family truly enjoyed their stay at this gorgeous property. All the pics were accurate in reflecting the well-kept condition of this home. The amenities offered were perfect for our needs as a family of 17. It was equipped with everything that was advertised in it's description including free wi fi that provided high speed internet that satisfied the both the younger generation & the remote workers of the group that needed to login. The kitchen & dining took a licking by our family of Eaters, but kept on ticking. The fully stocked kitchen provided everything you needed & more to serve our large group & the dining allowed all 17 of us (seats 20) to enjoy each meal together as a family. We used the dining for games & long reminiscent conversations as well. The host, Alan was johnny-on-the-spot with an appliance issue we had. He answered my text within 2 minutes (even late in the night) & once the problem was confirmed, he replaced it within 6 hours. Each bedroom was equipped with a smart tv that provided an opportunity for moments of recluse when desired or evening movie/television while decompressing for the day. The firepit out back was my absolute favorite. Next to the tranquil water, this area allowed us to sip hot cocoa or coffee & chit-chat for hours around a cozy fire talking about what's going on in each others lives, what's on our minds & our plans for the near future. ----Magnificent Place !!

We just spent a wonderful family Thanksgiving week at this amazing house. The place is so spacious with beautiful decor and a peaceful view. Our grandkids loved all of the outdoor amenities. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. I can honestly say this was the best home we have ever rented at Lake Gaston. And I I can’t say enough about the hosts. They were so accommodating and responded immediately with all our questions. Highly recommend this place.

Really awesome. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 8 kids ages 5-11. We loved the location in the cove, the kids were able to enjoy the kayak’s, paddle boards, swimming, and fishing off the dock. My daughter caught an 11.5 catfish. Alan was amazing and very punctual with responding to my questions. We can’t wait to come back again.

We all enjoyed this house. It had everything you wanted (spices, ice maker, every kitchen appliance you can imagine) Bedrooms were clean, cool and a breathtaking view. The Lake was perfect for the little kids as well as the adults. Plenty of boats and floating devices for the family. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed at. Plenty of bathrooms and linens for all of us, the laundry room is beautiful as well. I used Sand Dollar Seaplane to take my granddaughters on their first plane ride and they loved it. Steve the pilot picked us up from our dock. This place was AMAZING
