Welcome to Toes in the Water at Lake Gaston.

From the moment you walk through the front door, you'll be greeted with stunning lake views through expansive windows and glass doors. On the main level is a large great room with gas fireplace. Enjoy preparing family meals in the fully stocked kitchen or grilling on the 6-burner Weber grill. Plenty of seating is available for everyone to gather for meals. Relax in the screen porch located off the dining room - the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening wildlife watching, including visits from the neighborhood heron.

The master suite has sliders to the deck and a private bathroom with large shower and custom cabinets.

Also located on the main level is a half-bath and laundry.

The kids will love to hang downstairs in the rec room with wet bar, 2nd fridge, ping pong table, TV, sectional and pub table for game night.

There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms downstairs. 2 bedrooms are lake facing each with en-suite access to a bathroom. 1 bathroom has a shower, the 2nd a tub/shower combo. All bedrooms have comfortable mattresses with multiple types of pillows for your comfort. Dressers and closets are available to store your belongings during your stay.

Towels (for indoor use) & linens are included.

Just steps from the house, the boathouse is the ultimate lake hangout. Enjoy jumping off the dock or floating in the calm waters of the large cove. The boathouse features a large shaded area with table/seating, a bar with mini-fridge and stools, 4 kayaks, and plenty of room for enjoying the water which is 7-8 ft deep at the end of the dock. The boathouse has rope lighting that makes for a great spot to relax after the sun goes down. The boathouse has 5 bumper posts and 2 mooring cleats on each side for securing boats. While the house is located in NC, the VA border is within sight. There are several natural areas up Poplar Creek within a short kayak trip, including an island, making for fun areas to explore on a kayak trip from NC to VA and back.

Off the water, enjoy the many outside seating areas, smores at the firepit, or a game of cornhole. For rainy days or a break from the outdoors, plenty of games & books are available and multiple streaming services to enjoy a movie or your favorite show.

The nearest boat ramp is the Poplar Creek Boat Ramp about 3.5 miles by car from the house. Boat rentals are also available near the boat ramp at Poplar Pointe Marine. Take a trip for lunch or dinner by boat or car to the Shady Shack located up Poplar Creek, also near the boat ramp. There are more lake-side restaurants on the lake, approximately a 5 mile boat ride to One Eyed Jack(coming soon) and WatersView restaurant. For a nearby off-shore excursion, the Rosemont Winery is only 4 miles away by car and Poplar Creek Farm is near-by in Bracey.

    This is the second time we have stayed at this property and we loved it just as much as the first time. It is the perfect blend of activity and relaxation and accommodates our multi-generational family very comfortably. The layout of the house allows for both social time and space if needed, and we spent almost all of our time outside - kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, swimming, making s’mores around the fire pit, drinking coffee on the dock. Kelly and Corey are wonderful and responsive hosts. We hope to return again! Couldn’t recommend more highly.

    We can't say enough about how amazing this house is. This is our second year booking Toes in the Water, and it didn't disappoint. The house is spacious, with a huge kitchen and entertainment area, and there was plenty for the kids to do (ping pong, cornhole, games). The screened in porch offered an unbelievable view and a sense of peace and quiet when we needed it, and the dock was well equipped with kayaks, two john boats, and plenty of life jackets. Kelly and Corey were very responsive and very gracious hosts!!! We will be back! :)

    Toes in the Water has everything . The property is on a lovely part of the lake, so peaceful and quiet, where you can really enjoy the lovely natural surroundings (and if you are lucky, see osprey from the dock,as we did). Toes in the Water itself is just fabulous and so well designed to accommodate different ages and group structures. The owners have thought of absolutely everything to make it the most comforrtable holiday home ever. We cannot recommend it enough and do hope that, if we return to the area, we will be able to find time to return to Toes in the Water. Thank you Kelly and Corey for allowing us to stay at your home, where our family (from UK, US and Australia) could meet and enjoy a blissful week together.

    We spent 10 nights in the beautiful home and hated to leave. It was perfect for our family and can’t thing of a thing we would change about it! We spent the first few days with our adult children and grandson - wonderful open floor plan to accommodate a busy 18 month old and comfy beds to crash in after fun days on the water! Kelly was so kind and helped us arrange a mid week cleaning before the family switchover happened and other adult family members arrived, including 2 elderly parents. The floor plan and activities continued to be perfect for this group - we loved the ping pong table and playing corn hole by the firepit! We spent lots of lazy coffee time in the screened porch and on the beautiful upper deck. The kayaks were perfect for exploring the cove and we loved the ring toss hook game in the awesome huge dock house! The location on the lake was absolutely perfect - one turn from the creek area (fun lunches at Shady Shack!) and one turn from the main part of the lake. Kelly and Corey were super responsive and helpful - and clearly care about this home as it is beautifully decorated and maintained. We will definitely be back next year!

    This property's consistent positive reviews are well-deserved! We have stayed in properties literally all over the world, and this was really the best one we have had the pleasure of visiting in terms of the property owner's thoughtful organization of the stay and communication for the guests. The house was impeccably clean, totally functional, and just lovely. The grounds including the dock and boat house were perfect with fantastic views of the beautiful lake and surrounds. Everything you could possibly need or want was available with instructions on how to find/use. Plenty of room for multiple people to have adequate privacy when wanted or communal time for dinners/games/conversation. Really a lovely stay and we hope to be return guests!

    Toes in the Water was the perfect place to vacation with our children, their spouses, and our grandchildren. There was plenty of room to spread out. One of our favorite rooms was the screened in porch. Everyone enjoyed kayaking and the grandkids enjoyed fishing on the dock. Toes in the Water went beyond our expectations. We will definitely rent it again.

    This is our second time renting this home and we just love everything about it. Perfect for a framily vacation. All the amenities you could possibly need (both inside and out), super clean, and super comfortable. The screened porch is to die for! The kids love being able to kayak around in the cove and fish, sun on the dock, or just float around. We've stayed on the main lake before and it really is nice to be more secluded - especially with small kids. We can't wait to go back!!
