About the host
Hosted by Holly Engel
We’re a New England family from Massachusetts who fell in love with Lake Gaston during a spring getaway in 2020. From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a special place—peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for slowing down and reconnecting.
Owning a lake house has always been a dream of ours, and Lake Gaston truly feels like the perfect fit. We spend our time here doing what we love most—boating, tubing, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding—but above all, we cherish the time we get to spend together with family and friends.
We created The Good Life as a place to gather, relax, and make lasting memories, and we’re so happy to share it with you. We hope you love it here as much as we do.
