Lakefront w/ Private Beach, Dock, Kayaks, SUPs, Game Room - 5BR Family Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at the Good Life! The property was beautiful and relaxing. The lake was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the Lake. The hosts, Holly and Chad, were delightful and were helpful in every way.

Loved the house. Owners were great

We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. It was a total of 10 of us, 2 families with an extra teenagers). We had plenty of space and things to do!! The backyard is flat and nicely kept. We did some dock fishing and caught a 4 lb catfish one night!! We had a boat and had plenty of room to park and still be able to play in the lake and use the kayaks!! The SUP boards were a big hit as well as the noodles and other floats that were available. Nice little quiet area in the cove. The owners were amazing providing updates when we lost the power. Highly recommend!! Already planning another trip!

The property was nice. Unfortunately we were there in a serious heat wave so it was hard to enjoy any outside activities. The lake was so warm it was not pleasant. Equipment at this house was as listed & more. We had a party of 13 (9 adults & 4 kids). Loved the large table that sat us all at meals. Lots of shade. Property was experiencing power outages wich affected the 2 icemakers which did not work. We also lost power for a few hours. (No fault of the house or the host.) You have to put on your own sheets that are provided. Didn't like that after a long drive but then at least your sure they're clean. Holly & Chad answered our texts very quickly. They are not local but have neighbor as a property manager who was nice. Lots of supplies where there, plenty of towels & soaps & cleaning & food storage, seasonings. Large frig to handle our large group. Kitchen had plenty of counter space with the island. Plenty of dishes, glasses & silverware. Of course as with all rentals games were missing pieces, couldn't find the blender lid & only one beater but later we found the other ( after we made the mashed potatoes) the house is nicely decorated & very pleasant to be in. Air conditioning worked great. Hot water handled all if us. Its a very nice house to visit. Didn't find much to do in the area. Littleton is moslly closed & the few shops they have Didn't open till Thursday. Wasted trip. Has many nearby marinas. Well maintained dock for boats & swimming.

From the moment we first walked into the front door, it felt like home - we felt so comfortable here! We had a blast out on the lake with the kayaks, paddle boat and paddle boards (though the paddle boat rudder handle could use some fixing). We sat out by the fire pit every night. The downstairs game area was used quite a lot, and all of the games were in perfect working order. Our dog also had the time of her life. Thank you, Holly, for allowing us such an amazing experience in your gorgeous home!

Wonderful time and perfect house for two small families who were relocating a trip initially planned for Western NC

This was our second visit to this incredible lake house, and it was just as wonderful as our first. Returning to this lovely home felt like coming back to a cherished family retreat. The panoramic lake views from the deck are absolutely mesmerizing, and the house is impeccably clean and welcoming. The hosts have truly created a haven here, with thoughtful touches throughout, from the well-stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds. We enjoyed every moment, from early morning coffee on the porch to stargazing at night. It's the perfect spot for both adventure and relaxation. It fits our family of 8 beautifully with young grandchildren. Holly is so accommodating and responds very quickly. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful, rejuvenating escape!

Lovely home on a large property, nicely decorated with all the implements and furnishings to provide a comfortable stay. Easy to get to boat pier, lots of outdoor decks with seating. Host was easy to reach and very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this vacation home.

Beautiful house in Pea Creek that has everything for all ages. The backyard is covered by gorgeous old trees providing shade on a hot summer day. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and fishing right off the dock. Cornhole and horseshoes were a blast. Easy access to the main lake but very quiet tucked into Pea Creek. Pool and games were the highlight at night. There are plenty of tv's but we never turned them on. Holly is quick to respond and made everything very easy.

We loved that this property was on the water and with plenty of kayaks, paddleboards, paddleboat to let the kids have fun in the cove. The home was immaculate and was very comfortable for our group of 10. The owner's communication was as best as could be - quick to respond and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to make several big italian feasts. Bottom line: we loved our stay and would visit again!

Just finished the most wonderful family vacation at The Good Life! Our hosts were so receptive to any questions we had, and answered immediately. The property is lovely! A flat close walk to the lake, which we all appreciated, and was especially nice because we had a 3 month old baby. Situated in a quiet cove, where swimming and kayaking were so enjoyed. The house has all the kayaks you would need and the dock has a space for you to rent a boat which we did. The house itself was perfect for all of us. Very well equipped and the downstairs pool table and foos ball table were great for evening activities. Many decks for lounging and reading. None of us ever felt we all did not have our own space. We highly recommend this property for your vacation on Lake Gaston. You will not be disappointed! Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks, Jeff and Sarah

The house is in a great location, the hosts were extremely responsive, and there were plenty of things at the house to keep our group of 9 teenagers and 2 adults happy and enjoying the lake experience! The host sent a charming and helpful welcome email 3 days prior to our arrival. We were a bit surprised to read that we needed to bring our own bath towels and make the beds when we arrived. Otherwise, the fire pit, dock, kayaks and paddle boards, and well-stocked kitchen were all very nice and appreciated.

My husband was able to spend quality time with his adult sons and their spouses to celebrate Father's Day, reminisce about growing up, and make new memories. We all kayaked, grilled, and sat on the dock to watch the stars come out. Couldn't have been better.

The weekend at the lake was thoroughly enjoyed house and property were very clean. Neighbors were friendly. Has a little bit of everything to play in the lake. Would recommend to others.
