Weekend Getaway

The only reason I did not give overall 5 stars.....the shower head needs to go. The shower would be so much better with a removable shower head. Everything else was wonderful!!!

Boathouse

My brother and I really enjoyed our stay. All the other boat owners were very nice and made us feel comfortable. I was able to work around the Wi-Fi by using my phone as a hotspot. The back door doesn’t lock and the shower mat needs to be changed. Other than those few things, it was great and would definitely book again. Thank you!!

We checked in on Saturday and we meet up with our friends who also had boats at the marina. We also have a boat in dry storage and we love this lake. The boat was just what my family needed and provided the space for us to relax and have fun.

Fun weekend getaway

Our family enjoyed a very relaxing weekend at Steele Creek Marina in the house boat. It was larger than expected, clean, and the property manager was easy to work with and quick to respond. We docked our boat in a slip on the same dock making for an easy way to quickly enjoy the water with three small children. A great stay. We will be back.

Great Houseboat

This houseboat is great! It exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, had everything we would need. The AC units blew very cold, which we needed because the summer heat was hot. The bed was very comfortable. The staff at the marina were very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. This place is a must try. You will enjoy it.

Awesome Weekend!

We came down for the weekend and had a great time! Make sure you bring a set of Queen size sheets. From the moment we got there, everything was great. As each day went by it only got greater. From the fishing off the back (caught 3 large catfish), swimming off the back of the boat, to the late night power outage that caused everyone on the pier to come out and start talking. This led into a community gathering that was amazing. Everyone on the pier were welcoming and fun to hang out with. We didn't want to leave this little heaven on earth. We plan to schedule another longer weekend soon. Thanks to everyone and the owners for all their assistance during our stay.

Short stay at Steele Creek Marina

We liked the property. For some reason Vrbo keeps referring to it being located on Lake Gaston. It is not. It is on Kerr Lake. It is a nice, spacious property floating at Steele Creek Marina. It allows for a unique experience to enjoy the wonderful views that may only be obtained from such a location. There are beautiful sunsets, sunrises, and a grand display of lights at night from the neighboring vessels. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly which also made our experience more enjoyable.
