Very clean, well stocked, beautiful dock area and great screened in porch. Host easy to work with. Our second time staying in this house and hope to return again.
The brief: The host and house are great. The kitchen is well stocked, the rooms are comfortable and the screened in porch is a wonderful gathering place. The dock is amazing with plenty of floats.The long: If you're familiar with the area, food and family activities are limited. The kitchen had everything you need for meals and snacks. The basement is a large open area with ping pong and a Pac-Man as well as a large couch for movie night. The dock and cove are amazing. Great place for morning coffee or evening hangout. The cove is well protected, great for open water swimming and kayaking. The path from the house to the dock is cement but there is a bit of a grade which might be a bit of an challenge for someone with mobility issues. The hosts are great, local and very responsive. Overall a great stay and we hope to be back next year.
We enjoyed our stay; the home was spacious and clean. The screened in porch was our favorite place. We enjoyed dining outdoors. The location was great—the cove was so peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.
Valerie was absolutely delightful. We have stayed in our fair share of homes and hands down this was the best stocked kitchen we have ever seen. It made cooking for our family that we don’t see often a pleasure. The location was fantastic and Food Lion was just a few minutes away. We walked the neighborhood one morning and the few neighbors we saw were incredibly friendly. The home was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. Stay here, you won’t be sorry that you did. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Lovely guests that we would welcome back any time!!!
The house was incredibly clean and the beds were comfortable. We loved having fires in the fire pit and hanging out on the beautiful dock. The cove is nice and quiet, perfect for kayaking with the kayaks provided. It's also quick and easy to get to the main lake and the dock is a perfect place to park your boat. In addition to the house being fantastic, communication with Valerie was incredible. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I’m so glad Lake Gaston did not disappoint! Please come again!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is located in a quiet cove, and was the ideal size for our family of 8. The owners have recently upgraded the home and the dock / boat slip and sidewalk to the dock are brand new.
We had the best experience staying here. The house was absolutely beautiful. It had everything we needed plus more. We really enjoyed all the games and my kids especially liked playing pac man! We are already looking foward to visiting again!
