About this property
Lakefront! Kayaks, Fire Pits, Game Room, Pets
Escape to our stunning lakefront retreat, the perfect getaway for families or groups seeking relaxation and fun. Our spacious three-level house boasts breathtaking open-lake views from all levels, including balconies on the first and second floors, each with two swings to enjoy the view in comfort.
Inside, you'll find an incredible game room; outside, we have plenty of water toys for all ages. With three living areas, four bedrooms, and one flexible bunk space, there's room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the lake life. Guests with boats can take advantage of the dedicated boat slip just for you. Enjoy the sunrise and sunset each day from our two-story decks or lakefront dock.
We provide plenty of amenities to ensure an unforgettable stay, including 1 tandem kayak, 4 adult kayaks, 1 kid kayak, a water mat, SUP (paddleboard), paddleboat, cornhole, hammocks and life jackets for all sizes, all available right by the water for your convenience. High-speed Wi-Fi and HDTVs in the living areas and bedrooms, along with an xbox, board games, three arcade games with over 30 titles, a convertible pool and air hockey table, ping pong table topper, all in the basement provide endless entertainment options. In the evening, enjoy a drink by the propane fire pit on the top deck of the boathouse or smores by the wood burning fire pit.
We've taken care of all the details, so you can pack light and enjoy your stay worry-free. Linens and towels (bath and beach) are provided, and all rooms have ceiling fans and sound machines for your comfort. There is a pack-n-play, high chair, v-tech baby monitor, baby tub available for those with little ones. There is an extra fridge in the basement, washer and dryer, and propane Weber grill for your use.
If you need to stock up on groceries or other essentials, a Dollar General is conveniently located just five minutes away, and Food Lion is only 15 minutes away. The marina is right around the corner for boat rentals and public access a few miles away if you'd like to bring your own boat.
Our home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in one of the most beautiful creeks of Lake Gaston (Pea Hill Creek), and we ask that all guests be respectful of our friendly neighbors. We want everyone to have a wonderful, memorable time and create lasting memories in this special place. Thank you for choosing our lakefront retreat as your next vacation destination.
**Please note that this is a family friendly home, in a quiet neighborhood. We can not support house parties or events.
If you are planning to bring your own boat the bridges in Lake Gaston tend to have a low clearance and the bridge from the main lake to Pea Hill Creek, where our home is located is 8'7". Boating and fishing licensing and regulation information is available on the NC Wildlife website.

What makes this property unique
Our property is in what most would say is the best creek of Lake Gaston - Pea Hill Creek. We have an extra boat slip to bring your boat and public access to the lake is just a few miles away.
It is family friendly, a flat lot and a short walk from the house to the lake. The house comes fully equipped with water activities for the family such as a water mat, kayaks, paddle boat, life vests, floats, etc.
