Week at the lake
We just stayed at the Lookout for a week with family! It was perfect! The home is new and very clean and well appointed! It’s conveniently located to everything in the area and hosts were extremely hospitable and helpful. If I head to Lake Gaston in the future this will be my go to rental.

Tranquil Stay
The Lookout is a beautiful lakefront townhome that is extremely clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, and peaceful with everything a family would need for a short vacation stay. The owners, Gretchen and Jason, were professionals who responded timely to my inquiries. I was born and raised in the Lake Gaston area, and moved away 43 years ago, but the Lookout would entice me to move back. It is a wonderful vacation home with so many amenities for a large family to enjoy. I could not get my family out of the basement game room. The Vrbo photos do not do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking with beautiful views from all balconies and the patio. Unforgettable family memories were made during our stay. It would have been great if check-in was a little earlier than 4:00pm.
