About this property

Lake Life by the Week

Fishing, wake boarding, paddling, cannonballing, swimming, floating, rocking, swinging, gazing, tubing, cruising, dozing, grilling...just awaiting your visit.

Originally built as a hunting and fishing cabin in the early formation of Lake Gaston, the concept it to provide hideaway in the natural splendor of the lake.

Much of the original charm remain in great shape because, '...no wet suits allowed on the furniture...' has always been a house rule (and remains so).

The cabin was designed to provide a comfortable and intimate place for family and friends to experience the fun and adventure of lake life. It is not intended to be a luxurious indoor vacation.

Located on the south shore of Main Lake (mile buoy 3), sunrise and sunset views pull you out to enjoy the lake!

Sunrise to sunset, the sun drenches the dock and the trees shade the house and deck.

Rustic wood charm with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, endless hot water. One set of bunk beds and a double bed in the "Bunk Room", and a queen bed in two bed rooms provide for up to 8 sleepers.

Deep water (> 5') on all sides of swimming area of the dock makes cooling off fun and easy. Boat visitors can pick a side. Swimmers use the open areas.


Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Williams

Host profile image
When we were growing up, we spent summer weeks at the lake learning to fish, ski, zip sled, swim, and to have all other sorts of fun.

Why they chose this property

This house is a family vacation home, not a professional investment property. There are many elements of nostalgia scattered through the house.
The furniture is arranged for comfort and utility.
Family rules are still enforced - 'No wet bathing suits on the couch or on the chairs.'
Main lake offers great views and access. At mile marker 3, views of the dam are a quick boat ride away. Washburn's Marina is directly across the lake making refueling and supplemental grocery shopping convenient. Goat Island is just around the bend giving a purposeful outing destination.

What makes this property unique

The lakeside covered deck overlooks main lake and provides clear views of the dock and swimming areas.
Swim area water is @ ~ 5 feet deep at the ladder and deeper towards the end of the dock, so it's great for swimming and fishing.
Endless hot water - Tankless hot water heater will provide everyone the choice for a long hot shower.

Powder room has new tile flooring, fresh paint, caulking, and comfort height toilet. Full bath has new paint and caulking.
