Inside, you'll find an incredible game room; outside, we have plenty of water toys for all ages. With three living areas, four bedrooms, and one flexible bunk space, there's room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the lake life. Guests with boats can take advantage of the dedicated boat slip just for you. Enjoy the sunrise and sunset each day from our two-story decks or lakefront dock.

We provide plenty of amenities to ensure an unforgettable stay, including 1 tandem kayak, 4 adult kayaks, 1 kid kayak, a water mat, SUP (paddleboard), paddleboat, cornhole, hammocks and life jackets for all sizes, all available right by the water for your convenience. High-speed Wi-Fi and HDTVs in the living areas and bedrooms, along with an xbox, board games, three arcade games with over 30 titles, a convertible pool and air hockey table, ping pong table topper, all in the basement provide endless entertainment options. In the evening, enjoy a drink by the propane fire pit on the top deck of the boathouse or smores by the wood burning fire pit.

We've taken care of all the details, so you can pack light and enjoy your stay worry-free. Linens and towels (bath and beach) are provided, and all rooms have ceiling fans and sound machines for your comfort. There is a pack-n-play, high chair, v-tech baby monitor, baby tub available for those with little ones. There is an extra fridge in the basement, washer and dryer, and propane Weber grill for your use.

If you need to stock up on groceries or other essentials, a Dollar General is conveniently located just five minutes away, and Food Lion is only 15 minutes away. The marina is right around the corner for boat rentals and public access a few miles away if you'd like to bring your own boat.

Our home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in one of the most beautiful creeks of Lake Gaston (Pea Hill Creek), and we ask that all guests be respectful of our friendly neighbors. We want everyone to have a wonderful, memorable time and create lasting memories in this special place. Thank you for choosing our lakefront retreat as your next vacation destination.

Perfect family weekend

The Lucky Dock was everything our family needed and more. In addition to the obvious amenities that go along with a house on the lake we were impressed with the amount of space we all had. The game room was an unexpected hit for the younger members of our family. Additional pros was the proximity to the local grocery store, restaurants, and the marina where we were able to rent a boat for the day. The dock made for easy loading and unloading of the boat. We will definitely consider staying here again.

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.

This is a super fun place to enjoy your family and relax. This is the first place we have stayed where the host has thought of everything you need to enjoy your stay. The water area is terrific and lots of fun kayaking, paddle boarding, peddle boating and swimming. It was very clean and the beds are very comfortable. We highly recommend for everyone.

Fabulous week

Our 3rd year at Gaston and couldnt be happier with our stay at Group Therapy. With 6 adults and 5 kids, there was more than enough space for everyone. The house was very clean and the location was perfect with an amazing dock for us to slip our boat for the week. With almost all the necessities provided, You really needed nothing but a quick trip to the Food Lion, and youre set for your stay. We will likely be returning next year.

What a thrilling blessing it was to be with our three sons and their families on Lake Gaston at an ideal home. We are very thankful, and have already made our arrangements to return in 2024. The lake was lovely as were all the toys, fire pit and porches with marvelous swings. Many thanks, The Vanrensselaers

You can’t beat the view. The bedrooms were as described and comfortable. The kitchen was smaller than it looks in pictures. With 8 people it was crowded. Limited to 2 people at a time in the kitchen. The outdoor seating on the decks were not comfortable. The dock and fire pit seating was more comfortable. Enjoyed using the kayaks and lily pad. No SUP was available. Disappointed the Pac Man game and air hockey were not available as stated. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of parking. Grill was in good shape and works well. Propane fire pit at the dock would not light. Loved having the dock for the boat we rented.

Salt Meets Fresh

Group Therapy exceeded our expectations - beautiful, very family friendly and so clean! The owners have really thought of everything you may need and go above and beyond for you. Teresa even ordered a highchair to be delivered on the day of our arrival after I asked about one! This saltwater loving family thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our first lake trip and are already talking about returning!

The basement with old school video games pool table. What more could. you want. COLD A/C. New dock Kayaks. Best rental experience ever!!! Do not hesitate to bring a big family. So much to do.

Great experience!

I cannot say enough nice things about the property owners! They were responsive, and generous, and even put out birthday decorations because I merely mentioned in passing that we were celebrating my father-in-law's 80th! The attention to detail was lovely-- high end soap and cleaning supplies, brand new towels, every room smelled fresh, and the decor was to die for. Loved every bit of our stay. The only little thing I would have liked to have known ahead of time is that the stairs leading into the basement were very steep and lacked a railing. We had elderly parents and a toddler with us, so we had to keep that door closed but it was not a huge deal at all. (And to my understanding the stairs are being redone so this is really a non-issue.) Will definitely book again!

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, paddle boat, life vests, floats, etc.
