This is an AMAZING place! It is sooo peaceful and beautiful! We had a girls weekend with three generations and everything was perfect! The house is so clean, cutely decorated and has everything you would need. It’s obvious that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into their beautiful home! The outdoor spaces are incredible. Had coffee and bfast at the table at the boat house one morning and on the big screened porch the second day. I can’t say enough about this little “slice of heaven”. I can’t wait to return!

Visit to Lake Gaston

Great location for our first trip to Lake Gaston. The cottage was as advertised-which is always a plus. Clean and very well maintained inside and out. The WIFI was great. No cable but we had our own streaming services so there was no issue with the TV's. The cottage was well stocked with the essentials. We enjoyed our stay.

We have been vacationing at Lake Gaston for 15 years. This was 1 of the best houses and docks. The water is shallow, but great for floating. The house was well stocked and very clean.

Breathtaking Views of the Waterfront.

Another extended Birthday weekend with breathtaking views of the lake was spent with our longtime friends. The home is tastefully decorated (and updated) and the dock is great for anyone who enjoys fishing or just relaxing by the water. The screened in porch is where we enjoyed spending most of our time, even though the weather was a little chilly. The gas fire pit kept us toasty warm. A home away from home in a quiet neighborhood. I think it just may be our favorite VRBO lake house rental to-date.

Summer lake trip

We had an amazing time! We wish we could have stayed longer. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We spent every evening enjoying the large screened porch and the boathouse was great for our boat and hanging out. It is shallow and bottom is a little mossy so water shoes are nice to have. Great fun stay!

Wonderful property!

We had a wonderful time! The home well stocked with all the creature comforts "a home away from home". We particularly enjoyed having our morning coffee and our evening family gatherings on the screened in porch overlooking the lake. We brought our boat with us and had no issues. Would definitely recommend this home for others and we plan on returning in the future.

Great place to stay!

Great location in a quiet neighborhood, The house is set up to make your stay as trouble free as possible. Boathouse is very nice and even equipped with lighting controlled via Bluetooth. the water is only 2.5' around the boathouse but it was not a problem for us. If you don't bring a boat swimming may be difficult.

First Time to Lake Gaston

Perfect getaway weekend. Easy drive from Richmond, VA. Clean and inviting home with a perfect screened in porch with propane fireplace to sit by even in colder weather. Well stocked kitchen. Close proximity to Medoc Mountain State Park for some hiking during the day and of course kayaking on the lake. A gorgeous waterfront boat house to enjoy in warmer weather. Would highly recommend.

Awesome property & host

We have been staying a week at Lake Gaston for 10 years and stay in different VRBO’s all around the lake and this property one of our favorites! It was actually described in the listing, clean, well equipped & comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodation. Kristen was responsive to all our inquiries and accommodating. Highly recommended property. Can’t wait till next year!

Peaceful Perfection with a Personal Touch From the moment that we arrived we knew we found something special. Kristen, our incredibly kind in response of host, went above and beyond graciously accommodating a last minute changed to our reservation and showing complete understanding when we accidentally overstate are welcome thank (you again Kristen!) The home was spotless and beautifully updated with everything we needed for relaxing getaway. The real highlight though was the boathouse and its rooftop deck perfect for sunbathing, reading or just soaking up the peaceful surroundings. Be sure to take the kayak out around the quiet cove or cast the line in for some fishing. With no boat or just jet ski traffic it’s a serene escape you won’t want to leave.

As Advertised and Better!

Owner communication was quick and always positive. Property clean and kitchen well equipped. Spent a lot of time on the boathouse and was able to take in multiple fireworks shows!! Yard was huge and house placement at end of Cove was perfect for paddle boarding and fishing with minimal boat traffic but still deep enough to dock the boat. All in all a great experience and will likely return!
