Guestbook comments from the owner
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.

Amazing Cottage from the Inside Out!
The Lily Pad Cottage is just stunning on the inside as it is on the outside. The interior is colorful and full of life, it just gives off this vibrant vibe. The master bedroom has the best views ever, you’d wake up pull the curtain and you have this amazing view of the dock, the trees, the shoreline and the blue Heron that paid us a visit almost every day and stood gracefully on one leg in the morning mist!
The little windows with the cute wooden shutters gave a nice touch to all the rooms and views of the fresh green lawn too. There is a room with a Hawaiian theme perfectly decorated, I don’t have kids yet, but I’m sure that this room would be every girl’s dream to stay in!
We’re into fishing so we spent most of our time on the spacious comfortable dock that’s only a few feet away from the deck through a perfectly paved pathway with a very gentle slope. For those who like boating, this is the boaters heaven. We couldn’t fish during the day from all the boating with cheering teenagers and proud parents teaching their kids to water ski. It was fun to watch though! Then when it would get dark, it’s just one catfish after the other! We lost count! and tons of sunfish too before dark.
Tom is the best to deal with, he was always accessible and helpful and was genuinely interested in making sure that everything was perfect for us during our stay. And he did make everything perfect! We’d come back to the Lily Pad and enjoy this beautiful experience again.
Awesome Lake House
We're just returned from The Best Vacation ever. This cottage was perfect for our family. The kayaks provided hours of fun. I loved sitting on the dock and watching boaters/jet skiers go by. We rented a boat for the week and loved every minute of riding "to the bridge" (Eaton Ferry) and beyond every day. I loved sitting on the covered deck for reading, we loved playing corn hole. Honestly, we loved every single thing about this visit to The Lily Pad on Lake Gaston and are already dreaming of staying there next year!
Wonderful place to stay!
We just returned from a week on Lake Gaston and had a wonderful time. Lake Gaston Cottage is on a perfect spot on the lake, it is down a really nice cove where is is quite and the water is always calm. The deck on the back of the house is heaven! You have sun if you want it but you also have shade with a ceiling fan. I spent my entire time outside. The house has everything you need and the owners are great to work with. If we ever go back we will spend our time at the cottage again.
Fantastic week on Lake Gaston
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!!!!
