We had our whole family and dogs with us and this home was perfect for our needs. The yard and firepit were amazing and the view was breathtaking especially in the morning with the morning mist. There was ample seating for our family to enjoy a meal together at either the table in the kitchen or on the back porch. We loved it!

We had a great time during our July 4 family trip!! We had 7 adults and 2 children, 3 and 10 years old. While there I had some questions and the owner responded quickly. The kitchen is very well equipped too! The reason I gave a 4 star rating is because we had to wash and dry our bed linens, towels and kitchen towels before checking out. I didn’t know that when I booked it. With a family of 9, that’s a lot to get done by 10 am check out, plus packing up the vehicles etc. Someone in our family read a review about kayaking and how they didn’t have enough paddles to use the kayak and canoe together. So we brought our own kayak paddle. FYI- The house has 3 levels and I couldn’t tell that from the photos. All in all we had a wonderful trip! Thank you to the owner Dawn!

Family Vacation

The house was large enough to accommodate 8 adults and 8 kids(1-14). The dock was loved by all ages. The middle floor was a very open space that was utilized as our main hub of gathering. The area was nice, large yard for the kids to run around, neighbors were great and put on an awesome 4th firework show.

Lake House

Dawn was very accommodating and very responsive. The main living room /kitchen area was a great space to share family time together. Everyone enjoyed swimming in the lake, using the canoe and paddle boat! We enjoyed a day of golf as well! A great place to build lasting memories!

Family Vacation

The property had everything we needed. Very well stocked. I wish we had been allowed to use the neighborhood ramp to drop off our jet skis without paying $7 but the public ramp wasn't far so we used that instead.

Nice place

This was a very nice place with lots of room. Enjoyed every minute. I was shocked that the pool cost $7 per person/ per day, I thought it was included with the stay. Other than that it was good, we had a great time.

Location was excellent, cove was quiet and good for swimming, fishing and canoeing. House was roomy and comfortable. Screened in porch was really nice We mostly used paper plates but there were only 8 forks so we had to go buy some plastic utensils . We didn’t use the playground or beach area because we weren’t willing to pay 7:00/person/day but the dock at the house worked.

Felt like home

Our family felt right at home in this cozy house. We especially loved and appreciated the lake access, our canoe ride to the swimming area, the screened-in porch with soothing chimes, and well stocked kitchen! We had everything we needed for a fun family vacation with our adult children. We boated in the sun all day, and played board games at the table every evening. Made for lasting memories for sure.

Fun at the Lake

The host was very responsive to any questions we had throughout the stay. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing and swimming right off the back dock and making s'mores by the fire pit. Just a short walk away is the beach area- where the kids had a great time on the slide . We also made use of the community pool on the very hot days. The house was spacious and accommodating for everyone.

Fun at Lake Gaston

The amenities were great. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed using the canoe, kayak, board games, cds and fire pit. The only complaint is having to wash the sheets and towels before departure. We ended up using our own, because we saw no way to get them all washed before checking out at 10:00 am.

Absolute perfect house for a family trip. Lots of beds/room. The access to the water was amazing. You had gas and a restaurant within minutes. The park with the water slide was a nice touch and kids loved it. Very convenient spot that didn't have a lot of boat traffic coming through it.Only complaint is during checkout, having every single bed sheet in the house cleaned and folded by 10am is DIFFICULT. We got it done, but it required everyone being up at 6am to get through all the loads of laundry. But otherwise the owners were amazing, good responders, and kept a clean house with plenty to do to have fun! Definitely recommend!

Nice lakefront rental

We rented this house and another just down the street for a family reunion. This house was very comfortable and it was very nice to hang out in the water and the lawn area. It was very hot the week we were there and so floating in the water was enjoyable. The house was as advertised and all worked well. The washing of the bed linens and towels prior to leaving with a 10:00am checkout was not ideal and I really wish there had been another option. We knew that coming in, but it made for an early morning for all on checkout day. Owner was responsive with any of our needs.

Nice enough property

Pros Comfortable beds and nice linen.Home was cleanRoomy, there were 13 of us.Cons No place to store provisions. Every kitchen cabinet was full. There were only 8 forks for 13 people Could not play w the yard games we brought bc the grass was too high and not cut until our last day.Paddle boat was broken. (realized after pulling it out of poison ivy and cleaning it for 30 mins.)Its these small attention to details that make a good stay a great stay.I only gave location 3 stars bc there was very little shade, the water was very shallow and extremely muddy.
