This property is only 12 miles from I-95 .
Our family has been renting/visiting Lake Gaston for over 13 years starting with two jet skis. Then we purchased a boat to increase our activities on the lake to include wake boarding, skiing ,slalom, and tubing.The drive from our home was approx an hour and forty five minutes so a day trip was often done pending weather conditions. We would pack coolers and have lunch in a quiet cove and then resume our sports or simply take in a long boat ride to fantasize where we would one day have a slice of this paradise of our own. We have rented homes all over the lake and were lucky enough to find one in our favorite cove to do water sports. Fishing off the dock or sunbathing on the sandy beach is nice after or before a day on the water or simply get out the tubes and visit neighbors in the private cove. Off season is great for fishing and bird watching. We have seen Heron Eagles, Loons (diving ducks) mallards,etc. Fishing is great right off the dock or shore line. We have caught bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and of course a blue gill or two. There is an upper deck that allows you to view down the cove and soak up the sun. There are two patio umbrellas for those who like to be in the shade and a screened in porch to allow watching the activities going on outside. Board games are available, many laughs can be heard from a night including cranium or pictionary .The master bedroom is downstairs and has a garden/jet tub and shower, tv and dvd player. The blow up mattress and futon easily fit in this x-large room. The upstairs has two bedrooms with two queen beds in one room and a queen in third room with furnished balcony. The second bathroom has a tub/shower combo.The gas grill is always ready for cookout . So bring your friends and family like we did and hopefully you can share our passion for this unique lake at our beautiful home.

                        We had a truly wonderful time at this house. The kitchen was stocked with all of the pots, pans, utensils, that you could possibly need. Everything was spotless and there is a TON of beds and spots for people to sleep. The water was as warm as bathwater the entire time. While it was shallow (about 4 ft at the end of the dock), we did not bring a boat so it was perfect to float around in. The shallow water is perfect for families with young children! We loved that the inlet was so quiet. It did rain a few days out of our stay, but with the covered porch off of the basement and the large living room we were able to rest up and play board games. The Food Lion was only 10 minutes away (we thought that was really close, as we have been driving 45 minutes to a grocery store at our previous rental) and a gas station was just 5 minutes away (a bit more pricey, but you pay for convenience). We cannot thank you enough for letting us stay at your paradise!

                        My family and I stayed at this house for our yearly vacation to the lake. The house is very nice, clean, nice beds, good for a large group or family. The kitchen is well-stocked. Our problems were: lack of communication with the renter (slow to respond to emails & requests), the constant calls from a collection agency on the house phone, and the depth of the water at the dock. We brought our boat and were told that the water was 4-5 ft---which it may have been if were weren't in the middle of a drought. The water was more on the 4 ft side, maybe even as low as 3.5. It was not deep enough for our boat, as we kept dredging up mud every time we tried to leave the cove. There are also stumps near the dock, so you must be weary of that when trying to park/tie up. House is probably 10-12 minutes from the public boat ramp, as well as the Food Lion shopping center. Overall, the house was nice, but, since the dock/water can not accommodate our 22' boat, we won't be able to rent this place again.

                        Thank you so much for letting us stay at your lake house. We had an AMAZING time there. No need to go anywhere after doing the groceries run. We rented a boat and a jetski at the marina and spent the days in the water. Completely took in that lake living lifestyle. In the afternoon the girls had a blast catching catfish from the dock behind the house. Inside we completely felt at home!!! Stayed up late and slept in in the mornings. The kitchen's fully stocked, the wi-fi worked great, spacious rooms, board games for the kids, etc. Everything we needed! We're most definitely coming back!!!!!

                        My husband and I were looking to get out of the city for the weekend and this was perfect. The home was very cool. The inside was spacious and clean. The rooms were huge and the jetted tub was nice for relaxing. We spent the majority of the time on the porch off of the kitchen because the weather was so nice. Thanks for the stay!

                        Steve and Shelia, Wow! What a great 5 days we spent at your lake front home. It was the first time my wife and I really didn’t want to go home. Having 3 daughters all in middle and high school, we don’t get the opportunity to take trips as many are usually too expensive. You both offered up your home at a very reasonable price which allowed us to take the first trip in several years. Thank You both again! Blessings Jeff

                      Owner info

                      Year Purchased: 2009

                      About the owner: We own and operate a family business and we can't always leave it behind,so we decided to open it up to other lake lovers like us. Our dogs love running in the big yard catching frisbee and swimming in the lake. One of them is named Captain Gaston.

                      Why the Owner Chose Henrico:
                      There was no question where we would purchase our vacation home . There are several full time residents nearby in a very nice neighborhood with paved streets. There is a public ramp close by .The water is the clearest we have seen at a lake. The dam is close by on the main lake. We are located on the east end of the lake. A marina for gas and pretty much anything else you need is a short boat or car ride away. A paddle boat is also available to use in the cove also.

                      The Unique Benefits at this House:
                      The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, dishwasher, a bar height counter top that seats three and a pub height table in the adjoining room that is open to the living room with sliding glass doors to access the expansive deck that is also fully furnished including a fire pit to roast marshmallows,etc.There are also several restuarants close by or pizza delivery from Toppers Pizza and there are two restaurants at Eaton Ferry's bridge, both of which that you access by boat (docking available).There is also The Lakehouse restaurant/bar that boasts a live band, corn hole and good food with some locals (within four miles). Or go to the Morningstar Marina and feed the fish, an experience that is truly unforgettable.
