Pretty Lake is a great rental. It is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The pool is a lot of fun. We fished from the dock and rented a boat. It has all the amenities you need to have a fun and relaxing time. We would definitely recommend this rental.

WONDERFUL STAY

Great location. Loved the access to the lake and having the pool as well. Despite some thunderstorms(yeah!-we don't get many of those in Oregon) we had a blast. Loved the elevated covered deck... We spent most of our time there when not in the water. Beds very comfortable as well.

Wonderful vacation!

We have stayed in several homes at Lake Gaston over the years and this home was definitely our favorite. The home was beautiful and had everything you would need for an enjoyable vacation. Our family loved cooling off at the pool on all those hot days. Also, enjoyed fishing and hanging out at the dock as well. We definitely hope to vacation here in the future!

I can’t say enough positive things about this vacation home. Beautifully appointed, incredibly clean and every possible item you can think of to cook. I used both the crock pot and the waffle maker! Second time I have rented this house and already booked a third trip.

Amazing lake house

This is our second year at the house. We loved it last year but the changes the homeowners made are incredible. The covered deck is very comfortable as well as the dock area and pool. We have already reserved a week for next year.

Best Vacation Ever

As a family we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. It was so nice to have our children and grandchildren all together. The home was perfect with enough space for everyone to gather together and to have space in private. The pool and the boathouse were the main hangout. We are a water group so fishing, swimming and boating make us happy and your home offered it all. Great place and great host who answered our question quickly.

The Best Blessed Family Vacation

Our family had the most amazing time at Pretty Creek, one of the best family vacation we have had without my mother, the pool was great, just wished it had lights for night fun, the TV at the dock would have been fun. But we couldn’t get it to work, overall the house was very comfortable, we would consider staying there again We didn’t find the Guestbook, but beautiful home. Blessing, Sarah

Five star vacation

What a positively fabulous vacation home! The pictures simply do not do it justice. The home was beautifully decorated, immaculate, and fully supplied with so many items that made our trip easier. This host thought of everything from pool towels and sunblock, to spices, and even a waffle maker. I have already shared this listing with 3 friends and we will certainly rebook if we make it back to Lake Gaston. We had a relaxing week on the lake but this home was what made it a perfect vacation.

First Time Lake House Renter

Our first time renting a lake house and we are sold! This home and the decor is charming and welcoming, and very well stocked. From kitchen appliances and necessities to pool toys, beach towels and everything in between. This is an impeccably kept home inside and out with no detail overlooked! The neighborhood is quiet and private. We enjoyed our vacation here and will be coming back! Thank you, Valerie for sharing your lovely home.

About the host

Hosted by Valerie beatty

Host profile image
We chose Littleton/lake Gaston because we both have deep roots in the area dating back to the early 1900's, and we absolutely love the peace and serenity the area provides. Our ultimate goal is to live in the home full time, but while we are in the planning stages we would love for others to enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This is a great location! Access to and from the home via major roads and highways is a breeze. The views are outstanding any time of day. The pool, ample bedrooms and open floor plan allow for great group gatherings.

What makes this property unique

We want our guest to kick back and relax by the pool, swim in the lake, sleep in late and simply enjoy time spent with family and friends. Our ultimate goal for you is ease of booking, ease of communication and an awesome vacation experience!!!
