We had a great time. House had everything we needed and plenty of room. Owner was very easy to work with. Already looking a booking again for next summer.
The lake house was super relaxing and perfect for our summer family getaway. We definitely took advantage of the sun room and kayaks. Bernie was very communicative and answered all our questions. We'd love to stay again next time we're at Lake Gaston!
We had a wonderful time the lake house and would definitely book again, but wanted to share a few details that might help other travelers plan.The kitchen was a huge win — really well stocked with plates, glasses, cookware, and even spices, so just bring grocery! The covered porch was a favorite spot for us, and having kayaks available were a nice bonus.A few things to be aware of: the driveway, firepit, and dock/boat house area are all shared among the 3 neighboring houses, so have to be mindful/considerate in those spaces. The cove itself is a narrow shape, and the boat house blocks a good portion of the water view.None of these were dealbreakers, and the host was fantastic — responsive, flexible, and easy to work with throughout our stay. Overall a solid choice and highly recommended.

Thank you for your favorable review! We enjoyed hosting you and would love to have you visit with us again.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay celebrating my dad’s 75th birthday. The lake house was peaceful, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for a special family getaway. The owners truly went above and beyond—the handwritten card they left for us was such a thoughtful touch and meant so much. The neighbors were also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The only downside was the low water level due to the drought, but that was completely out of anyone’s control. Overall, we were blown away by the care and hospitality and would absolutely stay here again!

Title: Exceptional Hospitality! Accommodating and Spacious, with a Few Details to NoteWe had a wonderful stay and Bernie was incredibly pleasant to deal with, highly responsive, and made the communication process seamless. The house itself was exceptionally clean and offered plenty of spacious room for our group to gather and relax.We rented a 20’ pontoon boat from a local company and had it overnight, conveniently tied to the boat dock without issues. Renting a boat made this property more enjoyable.We want to share a few quick notes for future guests to help manage expectations, as a couple of the listing photos are slightly misleading. The view of the lake is about 80% obstructed by the dock and boathouse. Also, while there are two photos captioned “beach,” there is actually no beach area on the property. Lastly, remember to pack your own linens and bath, hand and beach towels, as they are not included.Despite these photo discrepancies, the excellent hospitality and pristine house made for a great trip. We highly recommend this host!

Thank you for the positive feedback about your recent stay. I value every guests comments and strive to make every visitors stay as perfect as possible. I reviewed the concerns you stated about the "Beach" comments. VRBO has been testing Ai to enhance listings and apparently depicted my water access remarks and water views as a beach and added those comments to two pictures. There is NO beach and I (me) did not represent the property as having a beach.This will be the second time I had to request that VRBO remove insertions like that. I chose to respond to your comment because I didn't know they were there and I value accuracy in my representations. I have 30 pictures posted on my listing and 10 are of the property grounds. Anyone can see that there is no beach. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, we would love to host you again and others who are seeking a pelasant vacation with a host who provides exceptional hospitality.
We had a fantastic stay at this Vrbo rental and would absolutely come back again. The host was wonderful—very responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout our trip.The house itself was exactly what we were looking for—comfortable, well-kept, and perfectly suited to our needs. Being right on the water was a huge plus and made it easy to relax and enjoy our time at Lake Gaston, especially with the convenient access from the cove.We especially loved having access to the dock. Even though it’s shared, it felt like our own private space since the neighbors didn’t use it during our stay. The boat lift was a big bonus and made things really convenient. We also had a great time using the kayaks and paddle board that were available—it added a lot to the overall experience.Overall, this was a great stay, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient lake getaway.

Thank you for sharing pictures from your stay at the Summer Fun. We enjoyed hosting you and your family and look forward to hosting you again.
We felt welcome and at home. Bernie made sure that we understood the check-in process before we arrived. The house was tidy and the water access was amazing!
We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again! I was a little skeptical about the shared boat dock and basically the back yard once I realized it was shared. However, the neighbors were very friendly and it really was no issue at all. The home was clean and relaxing! Host was kind and informative. Great place to stay!
This is my group of friend’s 3rd year staying here!!! As always the stay was perfect! Great location & checks all of our boxes! Owner very responsive & great to rent from! Would definitely stay there again!

The house and dock were perfect for our family of 6 adults! Large well furnished kitchen, 3 different tables for meals/games, & we loved the kayaks for morning entertainment! Thanks for the great memories!

Thank you for the terrific review! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward having you back again.
The house is in a great location with everything you need to relax and unwind. We had three generations and all of us had the best time. There was plenty of room and the house was very well kept. There are puzzles and board games and a huge yard with a dock. The owners were so kind through the entire process.

We are pleased that you were able to gather your family together to enjoy time together at the lake. Please visit again.
We stayed at Bernie’s house with some of our old college friends and had an awesome time. House was perfect for three couples - and we really enjoyed the easy dock access for the boat we rented.
We’re a group of friends that always spend some time on LKG every summer. The house was just what we needed. Adequate room, nice place to moor our boat, I got to bring my pup with me, & we loved the screened in porch! Would definitely stay here again!
