Fishing, wake boarding, paddling, cannonballing, swimming, floating, rocking, swinging, gazing, tubing, cruising, dozing, grilling...just awaiting your visit.

Originally built as a hunting and fishing cabin in the early formation of Lake Gaston, the concept it to provide hideaway in the natural splendor of the lake.

Much of the original charm remain in great shape because, '...no wet suits allowed on the furniture...' has always been a house rule (and remains so).

The cabin was designed to provide a comfortable and intimate place for family and friends to experience the fun and adventure of lake life. It is not intended to be a luxurious indoor vacation.

Located on the south shore of Main Lake (mile buoy 3), sunrise and sunset views pull you out to enjoy the lake!

Sunrise to sunset, the sun drenches the dock and the trees shade the house and deck.

Rustic wood charm with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, endless hot water. One set of bunk beds and a double bed in the Bunk Room, and a queen bed in two bed rooms provide for up to 8 sleepers.

Deep water (> 5') on all sides of swimming area of the dock makes cooling off fun and easy. Boat visitors can pick a side. Swimmers use the open areas.

    Spent 5 days at Nell's retreat. The lake views are the star of the show. Sunset views are amazing. House was furnished with everything we needed during our stay. Communication with the owner was smooth and timely. House was clean and comfortable. This property is on the main lake. If you're bringing a boat, bring some extra bumpers. Thanks to Chris for allowing us to stay here.

    My friends and I absolutely loved every second of this trip. Chris was fantastic and even let us know the cleaners were done early so welcomed us to go in early. The house was cozy and perfect for the three of us and the lake was so clear and beautiful for swimming.

    We had such an awesome time staying at the lake. The house was perfect and so accommodating. It had everything we needed and more. The dock was great to float off of and to see the sun set every night. We also saw an amazing fireworks display. The homeowner was a joy to deal with. We will definitely be back and hopefully we will be moving down to the area sometime in the future.

    This was a much needed retreat for our family of four. Chris' place is private and peaceful and we had a fabulous time. Will definitely return!

    My family and I enjoyed an amazing weekend Aunt Nel's home. The beds are super comfy. The location is super private. And, the dock and the view --- priceless. We relaxed, we fished, we grilled out, we watched the stars, and we enjoyed everything the lake has to offer. It is perfectly peaceful and private AND has everything you could possibly need for a perfect escape vacation. We definitely hope to return and highly recommend this rental!

    This cabin was exactly what I was looking for in a vacation......EXACTLY! The cabin was so charming and relaxing. I love the old fashioned rustic feel of all the wood.....I felt like I was coming home to Aunt Nell's place even though I'm not family. The beds were very comfortable....it was the best sleep I've had away from my own bedroom. The view of the lake through the trees was just beautiful. And so many birds!........cardinals are my favorite and I have never seen or heard so many in one place as I did here. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much I enjoyed relaxing on the hammock....even napped there. It's a perfect place for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. I was there over the 4th of July and the fireworks from the dock were all around. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. I will definitely be staying here again.

    Best sleep I've had in a long time! Very quiet and relaxing! So many things for kids to play with and not to mention the wonderful, spacious back porch! The owners were so kind and helpful the whole time! We are and will be staying here again!

    Perfect lakeside cabin for our family with private dock and beautiful location (and hungry fish for our young anglers). A cozy and peaceful retreat made for a great family weekend. We couldn't have asked for better.
