About this property

Private Luxury Home and Dock on Main Lake!

Find relaxation and fun in this beautiful 3200 square foot brick home on scenic main lake Gaston! Relax in the hammock on the dock while enjoying beautiful sunshine with included fan, running water and refrigerator. Enjoy fishing on the spacious dock space or sun tanning on the top deck equipped with four lounge chairs. No matter where you are you'll enjoy gorgeous main lake sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy swimming with the many floats in freshwater that consistently stays between 4-5 ft deep year round. Have a blast fishing for bass or catfish with included fishing gear or taking the kayaks out for a nice morning, midday, or evening paddle tour. Although on the main lake the traffic on this end tends to stay minimal which makes for more tranquil waters conducive to more enjoyable and calming water activities.

Kids and adults alike will have a blast in the downstairs game room which includes, corn hole, ping pong, billiards, card games, puzzles and other activity sets including badminton and croquet! Downstairs game room is fully equipped with large sectional sofa and television with Netflix, Amazon and Hulu Networks. Take a break from activities and grab a good book from the library for some relaxing vacation reading!

Ideal for families with young children including a fully outfitted baby and toddler room with changing table and crib as well as four bunk beds! No baby or toddler? No problem! Large two person air mattress available in room to convert to accompany two other adults.

Full kitchen with all pots/pans, bakeware, cutlery, coffeemaker, dishes and utensils as well as a Kitchenaid stand mixer and dishwasher. Have fun stepping outside into the fresh air and grilling hamburgers and hotdogs on the upstairs porch gas Weber grill or go downstairs for a low and slow smoke on the large custom-made wood-fire (with gas burning capabilities) slow cooker to perfect the ideal pulled pork or brisket barbecue!

Six-person dining room table with six stools around kitchen island will comfortably accompany the family. Large wrap around sofa in upstairs with large HD television and surround sound with Amazon, Netflix and Hulu networks is a sure way to relax after being on the water all day. Gas fireplace also available to warm up during the chilly time of year.

Have a boat? Fantastic! The local boat ramp is just a rough mile down the road.

Looking for a nice quiet place on the water to enjoy with your family and friends or are you looking for a luxury home to relax, fish and swim? Whatever you're looking for this could be just the right place for you!

February getaway

We went for a weekend away with friends in February and this was half way between homes. While we had a rainy weekend, the house was great and had built in entertainment with a pool table in the basement. Located on the lake with a boat house and lounge deck, we would definitely come back during a warmer season.

Quiet Lakefront Getaway

Our family had a great time enjoying our long weekend at the Johnson Lakehouse. We were blessed with great weather so we spent pretty much all of our time at the lake, fishing and swimming off the private dock. The property is on a wide part of the lake which was very quiet and uncrowded while we were there. The house was clean and spacious and we utilized the smoker and fire pit for cooking our dinners and roasting marshmallows each night. The hosts were extremely responsive to communication and we really appreciated the attention to details they have taken to make this home comfortable and convenient.

Truly a home away from home!

We stayed at the Johnson family lake house over the New Years holiday and had a WONDERFUL time! The house was the best appointed VRBO I have ever stayed in. Everything was clean, the layout was perfect and the owners thought of everything that you might need during your stay (kitchen had every utensil you would ever need)! They even left us a New Year’s Eve gift basket-which I though was very sweet! I can’t rave more about this place (and the owners)! In fact, half way through my stay I was having such a good time that I booked it again in September! Hahaha. Anyways-great people (Mathew and Samantha), great house and great location! A++++

Amazing and beautiful property

A gorgeous house with an even better view! Matt helped me more than I can say and I’d give this house and him more than 5 stars if possible! The house is well equipped with comfy beds and everything you could need in the kitchen. Bonus for being extremely clean as well. Easily one of the best places I’ve stayed!

Family Vacation 2022

We had an amazing week at Lake Gaston at this property. We hung out at the the boat house a lot and swam, floated, and used the kayaks . We enjoyed the ping pong table and pool table on the first level and had many competitions. The large island with seating coupled with the dining table was great for our large family . The living room seating was spacious and comfortable . The house was comfortable and bright and beautifully decorated . We hope to return to this property sooner than later .

Relaxing Lake House Retreat

This house ticked all the boxes for us - clean, spacious and pet-friendly. The house gave our party of 7 people and 2 mini Aussies plenty of room to comfortably settle in. The upstairs porch was a great place to read or enjoy a morning coffee or mimosa with a fantastic view of the lake. The kids pretty much took over the downstairs game room and had fun playing pool and ping pong. The boathouse provided convenient access to the lake. We rented a boat for two days and had no problem securing it to the dock. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. It did get chilly at night downstairs, but there were extra blankets and a space heater provided. The host was very prompt with responding to any questions we had. Overall, we had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay!

Lake house family vacation

We rented this house from Sat-Wed for a family vacation. There were a total of 11 people ranging from 6- 81 years old. The house and property were exactly as advertised. The house was clean, spacious, and well equipped. The lake was beautiful and quiet and the kids spent most of the time swimming and kayaking around the boat house. The property owner was very responsive and answered any questions before and during the rental. We had a great time!

Amazing property in a great neighborhood!

The house is great for entertaining. The upstairs naturally becomes the adult part and the kids loved the down stairs area... So much to do. We tied our boat up all week and that made access to the lake very easy. Beds and couches were comfortable and clean. All thing you would ever need in the kitchen were there. Top of the line Weber grill was a nice touch. Also smoked a pork but on the giant smoker out back. That thing could smoke a whole pig! We hit the hottest week this year and the AC kept up great. So much parking that was never and issue. Overall great stay! We will be back.

Great vacation home!

Beautiful home that has something for everyone. We had 5 children ranging from 2-7 and it was relaxing and entertaining for all! The covered porch was our favorite place to be and the lake had very little activity which we loved. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This house has everything we needed for a family lake week vacation. We used the pig cooker and grill for some great food. The game room was loads of fun for the teens. The dock was perfect place to hang out and cool down!

1st time at the Lake

We enjoyed our stay . The house is great and with some rainy weather the indoor games made for a fun filled day . No complaints here . We caught a few fish from the dock and was able to do some boating around the areas . Very convenient location with a marina just a few miles down the lake . Feedback would be there was a little more pet dander then I would expect to be left around . We did not have pets for this trip . We would consider a future stay . Thanks for having us .. Go Gamecocks !!

Beautiful and Quiet Lake Front Rental

We had an amazing time enjoying all this beautiful lake front house had to offer. The weather didn't cooperate but there was still plenty to do between reading many of the books they provide, playing ping pong, hanging out on the covered porch overlooking the lake and fishing off the dock. The house itself was spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We docked our boat at the dock house and our yellow lab enjoyed spending time out there with my son while fishing and taking in the scenery. Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend this location to anyone! It is perfect for family get aways! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Stay at the Lake

My family and I enjoyed our very relaxing stay at the lake. The Johnsons were great hosts and the communication was awesome. The house both inside and out looks just like the pictures. Loved that we were able to take our dog too she had just as much fun. Even though we lucked out with nicer weather we would love to go back in the summer months. Thx to the Johnson Family
