Lake Gaston house was just perfect for our family vacation. We don't get to see our grandchildren very often and this was the perfect spot to spend a week with them. Our Grandaughters loved the bright colors of the house and the lake was lovely the entire visit! It was nice having cool air conditioning to come in to after a day of boating on the lake. The kids could swim off the dock without any worries and they loved fishing off the dock. We only ventured into town once for a meal but found the "Pig" Restaurant and the food was fantastic!!! The photos and descriptions were spot on for this rental, it was great having a washing machine right on sight and the BBQ also was a surprise, nicer than we have at home!!! We would love to come back again!!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

We were first-timers at Lake Gaston & had never seen the interior of the house. We were very pleased to find such a pleasant, clean & well-equipped vacation place. Excellent maintenance is apparent inside & out! Last fall we saw the outside - the beautiful waterfront set-up - that was our interest. Now, after 2 weeks of exploring, we haven't seen any site more attractive. We were very fortunate to have found "900". We swam everyday, usually 2 or 3 sessions. It's great. Hope we may come here again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/2

Yet again another fantastic vacation here at the lake. We fished, tubed, swam & fished some more. The weather was nice although a little bit on the hot side, but nothing like spending those hot days floating on a tube in the lake. The kids had a blast & just love it here. All the comforts of home wrapped up in this gem of a place. Thanks for letting us make another memorable vacation here at Lake Gaston! Hope to be back again next year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/2
