    We have stayed here multiple times and continue to return- this is the best location on the lake. Centrally located. Responsive hosts and all the amenities to correspond. Thank you!!

    We have been vacationing at Lake Gaston for the past 7 years. This is the 3rd different house we have stayed at that had a beach. By far, this was the best beach we have experienced so far on the lake and the property was incredible. Aside from the property being one of the best on the lake, the house itself was unique and offered a great kitchen, spaces to relax, and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to serve our group of 8 adults and 4 kids. You will not be disappointed if you stay at this house!

    We had 6 adults and an infant ( all family), and had a fantastic time! The home is simply gorgeous, with so many items available! We absolutely loved renting the pontoon boat, cooking out, and swimming/ paddle boarding in the lake. It was all wonderful!!

    Simply an amazing week’s stay. The spacious/luxurious house, multiple decks/patios, flat yard, and large beach were more than enough for our 4 family reunion. Responsive owners were fantastic, even mailed us a forgotten bag. Their immaculate property feels more like a home than a rental. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.

    We loved this house! The view from the porch, the beach, or the boathouse is spectacular. The location is on a wide part of the lake and gave us colorful sunrises and sunsets. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful. We had six adults and three children, ages 4, 3, and 2. The sandy beach is wonderful for kids. It extended into the water on a gentle slope and we felt comfortable allowing them to splash around independently with puddle-jumpers on their arms. They also enjoyed jumping off the deck at the boathouse. Beds are comfortable and plentiful. The house was roomy on the main and lower floors and opened out to a very large shaded deck and porch with multiple chairs, sofas and swings. The two bedrooms on the upper floor were large and had interesting entries. One is accessed by a stairway hidden behind a bookshelf (we called it the Harry Potter room) and the other is reached by climbing a spiral staircase. Both were cool and comfortable. The kitchen is large and the appliances were top notch. We especially appreciated having multiple refrigerators and ice machines for adult beverages. We experienced how good a Traeger grill is and had a fun time making s’mores at the fire pit. Tips – if small children are in bedrooms on the lower floor, the windows are large with lots of glass and no window coverings, so you may need to rig up coverings for them. At checkout, bath towels are required to be washed and put in bathrooms, so allow time. We would come back!

    This property is one of the best on the lakes, hands down. Opening the front door took everyone’s breath away. We packed so much that we really did not need to bring because to our surprise the home was filled with games, outdoor games, and lake activities. The beach alone is beautiful but the minimal steps to the lake is a huge plus especially when you have little ones. This home gave us an amazing experience and perfect place to stay with our family and friends! Highly recommend!

    We just stayed at the home June 2023 and had an amazing time at this beautiful home. I normally don't do reviews but had to for this home as it was such a great time! We rented the owners boat which was so convenient and brought a couple jet skis as well and spent lots of time out on the lake. The home is even better than the pics show and like a previous review the biggest downfall is the upstairs not having a bathroom but we worked it out and it wouldn't keep us from staying here again. FYI they do not have a normal grill so if you plan to grill you may want to bring along a small table top one. There is a Traeger grill there but you need to get your own wood chips to put in it...we weren't real familier with it but was able to get it to do the job for dinner one night. The kitchen is pretty well stocked so be sure to message the owner before packing all you think you need (it will save you space in the veh) The beach area was a huge hit with our grandchildren and they didn't miss having a pool at all...there were plenty of beach toys for the kids so no need to pack buckets and shovels The kids loved the bunk room! The owner is very helpful with questions or any issues you might have. We would rent this place again in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home it made for some great memories with our family!
