The Unique Benefits of this House
I have enjoyed watching my family play and enjoy the outdoors and sharing time with them there. The kids have grown up on the water enjoying all manner of water sports including wakeboarding, tubing and kayaking.

Our family thought (all 19 of us) the house and lake were even more impressive than described. The house provided fabulous views of the lake and sunsets from the decks. The home is charming--beautifully furnished with all amenities provided. We loved the double dock with plenty of room for jet skis and pontoon boat rentals plus the kayaks and canoe provided by the owner for our use. It was a marvelous family reunion vacation week --one of the best ever--which is why we have already reserved a return visit in 2011.

We had an awesome time at your lake house. The house is beautiful! There are wonderful views of the lake from the house. We had a group of 24, ages 6 years to 73 years. We had plenty of room for everyone. We all had a wonderful time. Everyone loved the house. We enjoyed the kayaks that are provided. We rode jet skis, boated and went tubing and kayaking. We also did some fishing from the dock. We can't wait to come again! The week went by too fast.

Wow! What a wonderful 50th Birthday celebration! I was looking for the "perfect" lake house to get away with my husband and 3 other couples and I found it - amazing views, plenty of space, relaxing surroundings and all the amenities we needed. Lindy was great to work with as well. We hope to go back sometime in nicer weather!

We stayed here for a weekend with two other couples and 6 kids total. Unfortunately, it rained the whole weekend, but we still had a wonderful time. The house had plenty of space for us all to enjoy ourselves, and even get a littl peace and quiet. Thanks for a lovely weekend! We'll be back.

My military family, along with four other military families spent Labor Day weekend in this home. This place is beautiful! We had plenty of space for the 19 people and 1 infant that stayed. We thoroughly enjoyed the decks, the porch swing, the fire pit, the boat dock and kayaks. It was the most relaxing weekend most of us had had in a very long time. Thank you so much for letting us borrow your lake home!! Don't be surpised if we rent it again!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. This is not a typical rental with chintzy furnishings. The views were phenomonal. We particularly enjoyed the smooth water up the river channel for our ski trips. The many kayaks let us choose the right one for the right person. Hope you enjoy as much as we did.

We had a wonderful time at Lake Gaston and at your home. We stayed there hoping to relax with some friends and enjoy the lake. We did! The comfort and beauty of the house added so much pleasure to our stay. Everything we needed was there--bedding, games, kitchen supplies, water toys, outdoor seating. We rented jet skis and a pontoon boat from local marinas and had a great time playing and sight-seeing. We would love to come back again! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, well-kept home. The views are amazing....and the sunsets are incredible. And this rental provides every amenity necessary....swimming, kayaking, docks for boating and fishing (or napping in the hammock!), pool/ping pong table, TVs,VCR, a fire pit for making s'mores under the stars. We highly recommend this lovely home.
