Great house for a family vacation. We ate virtually all our meals at the house and the kitchen was very well equipped. We made good use of the two large tables as well as the table on the screened porch. We enjoyed the trampoline, paddle boards and kayaks as well as the dock with great shade and fans on the hot days.We rented a boat to water ski, tube and explore the lake.

This was our second time staying here and we have booked it again for next year, so that pretty much says it all. Very, very well equiped kitchen, plenty of room for our 6 adults and 8 kids to spread out and a great deck with a large shady area which was our salivation with the temperature in the 90's every day. And as always Shannon the host was very responsive. And my 10 year old grandson won the connect 4 tournament this year! The owners even upgraded one bedroom from a queen to a king bed this year, which was a pleasant surprice to my son and daughter-in-law who stayed in that room last year and this year.

We enjoyed our stay for the 2nd time there for my extended family. We love the setting on the lake and rented a boat and spent a lot of the time in the water or relaxing on the property. It accommodated our large group well and Shannon is a great host, willing to do whatever to ensure we have a great experience.. Don’t hesitate, book it before someone else.

Great stay at a great big house on the lake

We spent our annual summer family vacation at Lake Gaston this year and had a great time at Shannon and Chet's home. The house is huge, with an expansive main level that could accommodate all of our family. There are two primary bedrooms on the main levele that hsare a very large bathroom, and the remaining sleeping areas are all downstairs. Rooms are big and bright, and the furniture and beds were comfortable. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch, lake toys, but most of all, the beautiful new covered dock, which included a tv, bar, ceiling fans and plenty of space to be in or out of the sun. OVerall, it was a great trip.
