The name of our house is Dream Come True, and it has truly been a dream come true. Our home can make your dreams come true, too! Bring your family and friends for a relaxing vacation on Lake Gaston. Our house is located in the popular Pea Hill Creek area. We have all the comforts of home and a wonderful lake in the backyard. The gently sloping yard takes you to the water's edge and our boathouse. There is a vacant slip in the boathouse to tie up your boat. The boat lift in the boat slip is raised to the ceiling, allowing you to get your boat into the boat slip. We will rent the boat lift ($150) if you want to use it. We also have a small floating ramp that is a safe place to dock your jet skis. When it is not used for jet skis, turtles and ducks sun themselves on it, and watching them is fun. The water is about eight feet deep at the end of our dock, and it gently slopes back to a few inches of water at the shoreline. Additionally, there is a boat ramp/launch at the end of our road for the neighborhood (you and your guests) to use.

The house measures 2,500 square feet and features five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two kitchens equipped with full-size appliances. Additionally, high-speed wireless internet is available throughout the house for those who may need to work remotely.

• Further down the road is a shopping area with a variety of stores, including a Food Lion grocery store and an Ace Hardware store.
• There are several restaurants in the area, and some have waterfront dining.

We have been here since 2000 and love spending time at our home on Lake Gaston all year long. We have shared our home with other families who have made a tradition of staying with us each year. Please come and stay with us and make your dreams of a wonderful vacation come true at our home!

    The house was beautiful and extremely clean. The homeowners thought of everything-down to phone chargers and ice machines! The kitchen was very well stocked - we had everything we needed. I absolutely loved that things were labeled and I loved the welcome book that told us everything we needed to know. Wonderful experience!

    We had a great week staying on the lake. I really like that the upstairs and downstairs are basically setup like two separate houses since there were 10 of us that stayed. The cove is nice and peaceful and the house was very clean and well equipped. We had a great time fishing, tubing and swimming. The homeowner was awesome, She was helpful and very responsive. Would definitely go back.

    This was a perfect lake vacation with family and friends. The home is very well equipt (we'd be saying it would be nice to have....and we'd turn around or open a drawer and it was there. The house was very clean and the boat house was fantastic. The tie-up system that they have for your boat is simply fabulous. We look forward to our next trip to Lake Gaston and we hope to be able to stay at Dream Come True again.

    My family and I had the most relaxing and fun vacation at this home. There was plenty of room for everyone (and we could have brought more!). I love when there are fans and tv's in every room and this house did not dissappoint. Besides ceiling fans there were individual fans around the house. This home is WELL equiped with every thing you should need for a wonderful stay! The hosts are fantsatic as well. We had no problems but if we had a question they responded within minutes. I even read a book!!!! Now that is relaxtion!

    From the booking process to the last sad day we had to leave, this was perfect house for our family. I have never stayed in a more well appointed home. The kitchen had at least one of anything you could need. Just an easy, relaxing, home with beautiful views all day!
