Had a great time on our vacay. Water was more shallow than expected and grasses limited swimming / water time. Cute cabin, quiet area and loved the flat lot, with plenty of wildlife and good fishing. Jeff and PattyEast Cavalry Red House Gettysburg PA

We're glad you had a great vacation. We appreciate your feedback about the water conditions, which can vary depending on the season and lake levels.
Awesome spot on the lake and great yard. Size of house is a little difficult for the number of people it is listed to sleep.

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the peaceful getaway. We’d love to host you again!
Clean rooms and everything was nice and tidy. Plenty of pots and pans and utensils in the kitchen. Plenty of towels and clean bathrooms. Plenty of space for us and the teenagers with us. We were able to make memories with our grandchildren like we did with their parents. The dock/boathouse were great for sunning and fishing. Yard was flat and the kids played ball. Board games in the evening for friendly competition. Would definitely come back again.

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed the fishing, dock, and beautiful surroundings. Hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The location of the property was excellent. We were able to easily dock a pontoon boat. We loved the screened in porch. We had some small issues. There was a musty smell when we first entered the property. It went away after a couple of days by opening the screen doors and burning some scented candles. There were mouse feces in one of the drawers. I’ve ended up washing all of the silverware and utensils. The bathtub on the first floor was extremely slippery! We purchased a mat on the first day. Mattresses were extremely soft. We are used to more firm ones.

Our family had an amazing week! We spent our days floating near the dock and kayaking to the lily pads in bloom about a mile to the east.Our evenings were spent enjoying the fire pit. We had such a good time, we were already planing a return visit before the trip was over.

We wanted a cabin feel and we got it! The dock was great for fishing - especially in the evening. The cabin was comfy and has everything we needed for our family of 5. Would definitely return in the future - thank you for sharing your place with us!

Thrilled to know you enjoyed the cabin experience and had a great time fishing! We'd love to welcome your family back anytime. Thanks for choosing our place for your getaway!
This was such a cute, rustic cabin on a beautiful lake lot. It provided the perfect spot for a getaway weekend. Although it was too cool to get in the lake, we still enjoyed sitting out on the dock and and having a cozy fire in the fire pit during the evenings. Great weekend and the host was extremely responsive.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your getaway weekend at our rustic cabin by the lake. Even though it was a bit cool for swimming, we're delighted you made the most of the dock and the cozy fire pit. We hope to welcome you back for another great weekend soon!
Overall the property is very cute and rustic, however the kitchen is very small and some features are outdated such as the carpets and appliances. The view of the lake and the large front yard is a great feature.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the unique charm of our waterfront property. We hope to welcome you back soon!
My mom and I had a wonderful stay at the King Kabin! We especially loved the screened porch and spent a lot of time out on it, watching sunrises over coffee in the morning, and my two dogs had a great time playing in the water every day (although it would be nice to have a way for them to get in without scrambling over the rocks - but they made do, so not a big deal). The string lights over the yard were a nice touch too. Donna was a model host, very responsive and made our time at Lake Gaston a breeze. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you so much for the review! We're thrilled you and your mom had a great stay. We'll keep your shoreline suggestion in mind. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We were looking for a getaway at the lake for a birthday celebration and small family reunion. There were 5 adults and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the lake in fall. There was plenty of room for all of us, the house was clean and ready when we arrived and it was just as described in the listing. Thank you, Donna!

Thank you for celebrating at our lake house, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the peaceful fall vibes. It was a pleasure hosting your family reunion. Hope to welcome you back soon!
I personal enjoyed the wood craftsmanship of the house design. The kids liked the hanging bed on porch. If you look around you will find very unique items that you normally do not see in a typical cabin. Perfect lake house and neighborhood is safe and clean. Perfect for family trip. Property manager was quick to respond and place comes fully equipped.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay. We strive to provide a safe, clean environment with quick responses and full amenities for our guests' enjoyment.
We loved our stay at The King's lake cabin! The great room has windows everywhere which gives you the feeling of being outdoors and allows a ton a light into the cabin. It was a very relaxing stay. We spent a great deal of time out on the dock swimming and "bobbing" around on the floats and fishing at night.
The mini fridge in the boathouse was a great idea. Donna was a great host! Always pleasant and easy to talk to. Would highly recommed!!

I am so glad yall enjoyed it! You are fabulous guests. Have a great summer!
A great location in a quiet neighborhood and nice flat yard and dock. Checkin was super easy and owner answered several queations forbus before our stay. There was 4 of us there plus our dog. The house has a nice rustic feel with beautiful wood walls and beams. You have access to yard games kayaks and floats for the lake. we used these all! We had torrential rain one day and there were roof leaks in 4 places. the owner was very responsive about this. Hope they get these fixed so the interior wood stays well preserved. The screened porch was one of our favorite locations, but it could use cleaning to remove large piles of leaves in corners and cobwebs on the inside. The swinging bed was a great place for a nap!! We would welcome a return visit here.

We had an incredible time. The weather was hot! The host was very nice and timely on communication. The King's Kabin appeared larger in the pictures but accommodated our family just fine. The AC cranked all week and was able to keep us cool in the blistering heat wave. The house was located in a neighborhood that had it's on boat ramp. This was ideal since we were coming with our 16 foot boat. The boat house and dock was excellent because it provided shade if you wanted to escape from the sun, yet you'd have the ability to socialize with others. The water was often low at 3-4 feet in depth. I was glad I brought 2 sets of boat bumpers because the lake near the dock is heavily traveled and waves rolled in during peak hours. The house was a solid 20 minutes from the nearest grocery store (Food Lion), so load up on groceries on the way into town. The satellite internet/tv was intermittent but we learned to be patient during glitches. We were able to go to 3 restaurants by boat, as it took less time traveling on the water, than by land. Shady Shack, The Point, and Waterside were all accessible and served bar-type food. Other than that - we cooked on the grill for the evenings. The house is tucked back into the wooded pines. Thankfully we didn't have any rain. Otherwise, with the pine tree canopy, it might have been muddy. Overall we really enjoyed our time at Lake Gaston and King's Kabin fit the bill. It was a quick 2:45 minute drive from VB and provided us a nice lake getaway.

Thank you for the detailed review! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and found the location and amenities accommodating. Hope to welcome you back for another great getaway!
Private Dock and boat house were awesome, with loads of water sports equipment. The house was a bit smaller than expected but met all our needs. The screened in porch was a fantastic addition with corn hole and a bocce ball set for the evening. The kitchen was really small and the appliances could be upgraded. Overall a great place to enjoy the water.

The property was nice. The flat lot was amazing as well as all the yard games at your disposal. The only thing we were surprised by was the depth of the water at the end of the dock. It was a little shallow.

About the host
Hosted by Donna King
This home was hand-built by the owners parents more than 40 years ago when Lake Gaston was a little-known gem on the border of North Carolina and Virginia. The neighbors here celebrate together and look out for each other. Three generations of kids have grown up here - catching fish and wakes, making memories and campfires. This home is a perfect combination of a beautiful home with modern amenities. We hope your family can build lasting connections here also.
