We absolutely loved our stay at The Lucky Dock! The boat dock was amazing – super nice and perfect for hanging out by the water or heading out on the lake. The game room kept everyone entertained, and the living area was cozy and great for relaxing together after a fun day.The whole place felt welcoming and really well taken care of. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation, and we honestly didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be coming back to The Lucky Dock!

Great Lakehouse

We had a great trip here spending most of our time on the dock and with all the kayaks and water toys the owners provide access to. Close enough to marina and stores to pick up items you need, but enough space to feel like you have your own slice of lake.

About the host

Hosted by Mercedes Kramer

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Mercedes!

My family of four, plus our big, lovable Great Dane, call Virginia home. When we’re not working, you’ll find us enjoying time with friends and family—whether that’s on the lake, at the beach, hiking or enjoying a football game.

Our home at Lake Gaston is where we make some of our best memories and we can’t wait to share this little slice of paradise with you!

What makes this property unique

Our property is in what most would say is the best creek of Lake Gaston - Pea Hill Creek. We have an extra boat slip to bring your boat and public access to the lake is just a few miles away.

It is family friendly, a flat lot and a short walk from the house to the lake. The house comes fully equipped with water activities for the family such as a water mat, kayaks, floats, etc.
