Why the Owner Chose Henrico
Lake Gaston is a well kept secret. When traveling on I-85, one crosses the lake at an unscenic location. When one is traveling on I-95, there is no hint that a gorgeous lake is just to the west. Even within North Carolina, people do not know about Lake Gaston. It is a pleasure living here and enjoying the perfect climate.

A unique destination is the Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park, 4963 Hwy 258 Scotland Neck, NC. There are waterfowl from every continent at this park. It is an hour from the house, but well worth the visit.

Owner's Map of Henrico
After living near the ocean in the Myrtle Beach area, it is wonderful to swim in a freshwater lake. No sand, no hurricanes, no traffic, the life is easy and the climate mild. Plus there aren't any alligators in the water!

My cousin and his friends told us about this amazing lake home, so we decided to book it for ourselves! This was a mini vacation for my husband, my parents and my sister's family! We has traveled to beaches and new york city but by far this was the most relaxing! My dad who is very hard to please said that this was the best vacation he had ever been on! Every family had privacy in there own rooms with tv's which helped you escape the family drama! We loved being able to dock our boat, and fish right from the dock! We brought maryland blue crabs from home and enjoyed them on the outdoor deck, which is our family's favorite thing to do! The home was clean and big enough to fit our large family comfortably! The size of the fish in the lake are huge, which made the trip for the guys! The paddle boat, horseshoe pits, and game room gave everyone something to do, which was awesome! thank you so much for such a wonderful getaway! We are coming back again this year with my husbands family for another incrediable getway!
Owner response:So glad your family had a good time. The lake is enjoyable in every season. Since you were at the home, a pool table has been installed. Ping pong is still available. Hope you can come back soon. Thank you for sending such a nice note.

I had fun! Especially the swimming! I had a great time! Loved ping pong!! I had a wonderful time especially hanging out with my friends. I had a good time and going swimming with [] and [].I had a good time tubing with my friends and going swimming with them too. Swimming. Needless to say, we had an amazing time. 6 kids, 6 adults, and zero complaints! This is our second return to your lovely home, and we hope to return again same time next year. The two boys learned to waterski like champs and the girls belly-laughed for days…it was everything a vacation should be—good friends, good times, memories created on the lake to last for days. Thank you!

What a wonderful vacation home! We were here with our daughter, son-in-law, 4 yr. old grandson—who loved doing “cannonballs” off the pier! We brought our Sea-Doo & enjoyed exploring and tubing with it! Our first day here we visited Rosemont Winery & really enjoyed our experience there! On Wednesday, we rented a pontoon boat & spent 7 hours on the lake! We have enjoyed fishing at night and got some “little fishes” which was exciting for our little [4 yr. old grandson]. Unfortunately, we had to leave a couple of days early because of having to prepare our homes for the arrival of Hurricane Irene. We are from Washington, NC & get hit hard with storm surge from hurricanes! But we have enjoyed being here & felt right at home! Another high was going to The Pointe at Eaton’s Ferry Bridge—great food & [4 yr. old grandson] loved feeding the huge catfish & bass at the pier there!!

July 30-August 6, 2011 We had a fantastic time at your house! We caught tons of fish (the trick is chicken liver). The biggest was 23 inches and 4 pounds. (The seven year old kid caught it.) Catfish! The white loops around the dock we used as Noodleville where all 18 noodles lived. … had a dream of playing Bingo so he went on Thursday and won $20. He would have won more but he was all confused because the lady across from him is all like, “Honey, pay attention. Honey, you have to pay attention.” And she kept stamping his card for him. … had a horseshoe championship. Mom won. Three ringers and a leaner! Eleven points in about 5 minutes!!! The lake is very quiet and relaxing. The cove is fantastic. The neighborhood is quiet and good for walking. The little kids from … loved collecting clam shells. They even found big, huge ones with meat. They would like stairs going into the shallow end though. Stairs or a ladder. The bugs in the house [coming in from the open doors] were annoying, but every perfect place has a downside. We hate to leave and we plan on coming back next year. Thanks! The house was epic! Fishing was great, tons of catfish off the dock, way better than Smith Mountain Lake. The End.

We so enjoyed the week at this wonderful house! The weather started out hot (over 100?) but rains on Monday and Tuesday nights cooled it down considerably. Other than having a great time boating, eating and relaxing, two highlights were: *Goats on Goat Island! Very sweet but they’ll jump your boat and try to come home with you. *Cows cooling themselves in the waters beyond the causeway—just saw them one day. Fun times!!

July 2-9, 2011 Thanks for the great memories! The house was so wonderfully filled with everything we would need. Even though we saw lots of rain we never got bored. We played games, ping pong, fished and of course used most everything in the garage. I am pretty certain we will be getting a badminton set now (it was a blast.) Thanks for renting us your beautiful home on the lake.

May 12-15, 2011 We are ending our stay this morning after a wonderful vacation. The house was exactly as pictured with everything needed provided making it feel like home. We fished and boated and made use of the weight room and arcade games. We are all jealous that you have this beautiful place to share. We will share the word.
