We are excited to offer our guest a tremendous new deck installed in 2025 that includes stainless steel cables allowing for an almost unrestricted view of the lake, while also providing safety for the little ones!! The deck is absolutely enormous and runs the entire length of the house, allowing for ample space for family and friends. If you're looking for an amazing house that offers SPECTACULAR long-range views and a place to just relax from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this house is for you! This house will not disappoint, as it provides incredible long-range views of the Lake from nearly every room in the house, including the kitchen! Wake up to MAJESTIC views each morning from three of the four bedrooms - each with its own sliding glass door leading to the deck! Take a short walk on a gentle sloping lot to the dock and waters edge, where you will find a private beach with only several steps into the crystal-clear water. Spacious boat house featuring 17x30 foot dock (newly stained fall of 2025) provides ample space for sitting at the wrought iron table (with umbrella), zero gravity chairs, sunbathing or watching the children do cannon balls. Depth off the end of the dock is approximately 6 feet. For fisherman - wonderful fishing is available directly off the dock and shoreline. After a GREAT day on the Lake, sit by the firepit roasting smores or just reconnect with family and friends. Unfortunately, due to home owners insurance requirements, we do not offer use of the boat lift; however, we have installed boat whips to tie your boat along the dock. The boat whips are designed to keep your boat from contacting the dock and damaging your boat, even with the usual boat traffic. The house comes with a 10'6" inflatable paddleboard and 6'x12' swim mat for our guest to enjoy the lake even more! This 4 bedroom 2 bath home is clean, comfortable and has an open concept floor plan with high vaulted ceilings. There is a large main table (seats 10) and bar (seats 4) to allow various seating configurations. There are two leather couches with infinity setting in the living room, as well as an ottoman. High speed internet and Wi-Fi are provided, as well as a 55" smart TV with Spectrum cable bundle and DVD player. Weekly trash pickup is included at the curb. NO need to haul your trash away!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house! The home was very well appointed, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we slept so well. The view of the lake was absolutely amazing—peaceful and picturesque. We especially loved having easy access to the dock, which made it simple to take our pontoon out on the water. The amenities were excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully provided. Overall, it was the perfect spot for a lakeside retreat, and we truly enjoyed our time here.

Hello Manya - so happy that you enjoyed the lake and everything it has to offer. We take great pains to ensure that every guest has the best experience possible and we really appreciate you making a point to tell others :) We hope to see you again soon!
Excellent location on the lake! The dock was perfect for our boat and fishing. There is also a stair location to walk in the water which made getting in and out of kayaks a breeze. The water is nice and clear of seaweed so you can enjoy a swim. We had a great time fishing and catching sunfish, catfish, and striper.We didnt spend a ton of time in the house except during a storm where we enjoyed a great selection of games board, card, and others. We enjoyed most meals at the house as they provided a selection of pans and even tupperware for leftovers. Our stay was relaxing and just what we needed!

We stayed at this home while visiting family. The house had everything we needed and more. The view of the lake is spectacular. There were just 2 of us but there is plenty of room for a larger group. We even cooked some s’mores on the fire pit.

The lake house was absolutely beautiful. We had a relaxing time fishing off the dock and sitting around the firepit and making smores. The view of the lake from the home was Breathtaking. My family had a great vacation at the lake. The owners were attentive and quick to respond to any questions We had. Overall the experience was fantastic

We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed your vacation. Please come back and stay with us again anytime.
This house was just the perfect vacation home. I love how the three bedrooms connected to the outside deck facing the lake. The sunrises were spectacular!!! We have such wonderful memories watching my grandson swim all day and catching a fish off the deck. Ken and Denise, you thought of everything to make it so welcoming, This place is hard to beat and I look forward to seeing paradise again !
Thanks again,

This is the 2nd year we have stayed at this house. The owners are GREAT!! So many supplies at the house and fully stocked! The location is AWESOME with vies of the main lake yet tucked in a cove. The Layout of the house is great with the main bedroom on one end and the others on the other end. Really cant say enough! We will be back!

Thank you for the kind words - it is certainly high praise when you and your family chose to stay with us again! We look forward to seeing you again soon 😀
This is one of the best rentals we have stayed at in Lake Gaston. The home is very clean and kept up well. The kitchen was well stocked with nice pots, pans, and utensils. We enjoyed the grass areas to play sports with the kids. The dock was great for fishing and plenty of room to tie our boat up. Only down sides were the boat traffic (but it was a holiday weekend) and no vent fans in the bathrooms. We would definitely love to stay here again in the future.

My wife and I take great effort in trying to make the house clean and comfortable for all of our guest and we are happy that it exceeded your expectations 😀
We look forward to having you visit again in the future!
Wonderful home with lake views to match. I have been renting homes on Lake Gaston for many years and this home is by far my favorite.
I have a few key points I look for in a vacation rental and this place topped them all:
Very clean - check!
Well appointed kitchen - check!
Comfortable beds - check!
Easy access to Lake - check!
Parking with room to maneuver boat trailer - check!
Private and quite - check!
Responsive owners - check!
Could not have had a better time or better accommodations.
Looking forward to stay here again next summer.

Thank you so much for such a glowing review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay here at Lake Gaston. You and the boys are welcome back any time.
We rent at Lake Gaston every year and this was our best rental yet! The view is amazing (great windows across the house). The yard is flat and easy access to the main lake. You can step right down into the lake from the steps and the back porch gets the afternoon shade. Bedrooms on opposite end of the house which is great. Good size for small family. Well stocked with all you need and a clean easy to use grill. The owner even left us coffee and smores ingrediants. We will be back!

The pics are fabulous but don’t do the view justice! The amenities are as promised. It has an amazing sunrise view- we watched it every morning. Ken & Denise are very responsive & engaging. We caught & cooked our own catch from the dock. It was nice to have main lake views while being in a cove. The stairs on the beach are great for little ones or someone post surgery like myself. It was a great way to heal. Thanks Ken & Denise- we’ll be back!

Thank you for the positive review - happy to hear everyone had such a great time!! We would definitely love to have you back again anytime but can’t promise such great fishing 😂
We loved staying at this property! The house was as described with accurate pictures. We were (pleasantly) surprised at how well it was stocked with much of what we needed for our stay. The house was clean and comfortable, and communication was great. Having tables and seating at both the deck and on the dock was wonderful. We made some great memories in the evenings around the firepit. The ranch-style house and gently sloping yard made this is a perfect place for anyone with mobility issues. My father appreciated only having a few steps from the deck to get the grass and with no other stairs on the property to navigate. There is a Food Lion a few miles away, and, if you're bringing a boat, Washburn's Marina is close by to refuel or rent a boat. Overall this was a wonderful place that we would recommend and stay at again.

Christine - we are so happy that you and your family had a great stay and appreciate the kind words. We certainly enjoy the gently sloping lot as well - a lot easier on the knees. Please come back again anytime.
My husband and I have been going to Lake Gaston annually since our kids started Camp Willow Springs and now Camp Willow Run. This is year five and was our favorite house yet. (Side note, I grew up going to this lake and CWR so I know the lake pretty well). We stayed five days without our kids and then two more nights with kids after camp pick up, so they could enjoy water sports. You can’t beat the location. Easy access to the main lake, marinas for gas, and the couple lakefront eateries. You are right at the bridge entrance of Pea Hill Creek, but tucked enough back so boat traffic and waves don’t affect any dock swimmers. The location is also ideal for tubing with kids since you are closer to the dam where coves stay a little quieter. We rented a boat for the week and always boat up to Shady Shack which is a great boat ride for a delicious lunch. It is also ideal for car travel as Washburn’s convenient store (a minute away) and Food Lion are not far at all. The house itself was clean, spacious, and gave us amazing views. The new deck is spectacular for evening happy hour with a nice private feeling. We also really loved that the home had things there that VRBOs don’t usually offer like a spice rack, dishwasher pods/cleaning supplies, tons of games, and all cooking ware needed. We enjoyed using the grill and eating in on a few nights. We will definitely plan to book this home for next summer as it was perfect in all aspects of our trip. Thank you to the hosts!!!!

This house was absolutely perfect and the lake views were incredible!! A couple of things that we always look for in a lake house vacation is a home with a view, a flatter yard (if possible), and plenty of seating for the 8 of us so we can enjoy meals together! Your home exceeded all of our expectations! It was very clean, well stocked, and had all the comforts of home! We enjoyed playing our Kan Jam and Spike Ball games in your yard (most times it’s impossible due to a sloping yard!). We also brought our boat and tied up to the dock and loved being able to hop on it for water sports and fishing! We caught several sunrises from the dock and sunsets from our boat! The addition of the swim mat and paddleboard was a big hit in our books! We even enjoyed the firepit one night! From booking, to staying, to checking out, the owners were attentive to our needs and made the process seamless and our stay very enjoyable! We’ve taken a lake trip for the last 3 years to a different lake and stayed in different homes, but this has been our most enjoyable trip yet!! We love Lake Gaston and your home and will most likely be back! Thank you Ken and Denise!
