About this property

Spacious Lake Gaston Waterfront with Flat Lot, Great Views & Premier Host

Welcome to your bigger, better-value Lake Gaston getaway! This spacious waterfront home offers 2,330 sq ft, more than many comparable properties, giving families and groups plenty of room to spread out and relax.

Enjoy direct main-lake access from a boat-friendly dock perfect for pontoons, deck boats, and bass boats. The flat, level lawn leads right to the water with no steep hills to climb. And, high-speed Starlink internet keeps everyone connected.

Please watch our beautiful time-lapse video from the house: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3126335440921954

Water depth off the dock ranges from 40–42 inches...ideal for families with kids and low-draft boats. We provide bumpers and cleats for easy docking.

MAIN LEVEL
Step into a well-appointed, open kitchen with a breakfast bar and direct access to a large screened porch overlooking the lake. The dining area and the cozy living room, with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, offer stunning views. Walk out to the sundeck with the grill, or stay inside and enjoy the warmth of the fire. A large selection of board games and puzzles is ready for family fun. The main-floor bedroom features a king bed and connects to a full bath. You’ll also find a laundry room and pantry on this level.

UPPER LEVEL
Two additional bedrooms and a shared full bath. One bedroom has a full bed; the other has a queen bed plus its own private deck with seating and beautiful lake views. A small loft workspace overlooks the living room below...perfect for remote work or quiet time.

LOWER LEVEL – The Fun Zone
The lower level is where the action happens! The great room features a foosball table, pool table (with ping-pong conversion top), 65" big-screen TV, and Xbox 360 with games. The bunk room comfortably sleeps 6 with 1 full, 3 twins, and a trundle. Full bath with walk-in shower. Step outside to the covered patio and flat lakeside yard...perfect for cornhole, croquet, or roasting s’mores around the firepit.

A second refrigerator/freezer in the garage is available for your use.

Three kayaks, life vests, fishing gear, and outdoor games are included (signed liability waiver required...use at your own risk).

Explore Lake Gaston: Rent a jet ski, visit waterfront restaurants, hike, take a wakeboard lesson, or enjoy one of the local vineyards. We’re proud to be a VRBO Premier Host and look forward to hosting your group.

NOTE: This property has 4 exterior security cameras. Three are inactive during guest stays (shed, front door, lawn). The driveway camera remains active at all times for security. No cameras face any interior spaces.

Live, Love, Lake! We can’t wait to welcome you to our spacious waterfront home.

Thank you so much for staying at our home...and for the review. We greatly appreciate it. We had our internet checked after you departed on July 16th, so we appreciate you giving us a heads up about it during your stay. The provider had a technical problem, so we're glad they were able to fix it as the internet is working well now. Thanks again!

What a wonderful place to stay. For being on the main lake, the small cove is just enough to keep the water calm. Very quiet and peaceful! We thoroughly loved our whole week we were there. Thank you Sharon for letting us borrow your beautiful home for our vacation! We will always remember all the good times and memories we made!

A Most Relaxing Lake Vacation

We had a lovely relaxing week at this lake house. It was a super quiet lake and neighborhood and the house came with plenty of toys (kayaks, fishing gear, floats, fire pit, pool table goose ball table, exercise equipment, games, books, etc) so everyone could enjoy the fun. Deer brought their babies by every evening to feed and the sunrises were spectacular.

Thoughtfully equipped house for a quiet family getaway

We loved our stay here. The house feels lived in not just rented out. It’s a remote area so we were grateful for the full kitchen (dishes, incl kids dishes, plus cooking equipment and grilling utensils) and plenty of fun board games. With a mix of kids’ ages (1-7) we felt at home in this house. Easy communication. The screened sunroom is awesome. I could imagine staying here in summer or winter and being very happy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing and peaceful lakefront home

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful lakefront property. The house was well-stocked with many amenities. We felt very comfortable here. The sunrises were amazing and we loved the wildlife - deer, lots of birds, and early morning otters. Coffee on the screened porch every morning was the best! We enjoyed taking the kayaks out in the cove, too. We loved a little taste of lake life! We will definitely be back.

Lake House stay

We enjoyed the house, it was beautiful. The view of the lake was breathtaking and the bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen and pantry was filled with anything we needed to make our stay more enjoyable. I planned to fish while at the house, but fishing from the boat dock was a little difficult for throwing your line. The tv's were not easy to figure out because we were not familiar with ROKU. Overall, we loved the house and did not want to leave the peace and quiet!

Amazing Lake Gaston property

My family stayed at this property for Thanksgiving week (Nov 2021). It is an absolutely stunning property. The kitchen is heavily stocked for cooking and entertaining. The property owners are wonderful to communicate with, they communicated everything to us and stayed in touch to make sure we were doing okay. The home has a wonderful view of Lake Gaston, just off a little cove. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. We rented a boat but the cold weather didn't allow us to take in all the beauty that Lake Gaston has to offer. We did make a day trip over to the Kerr Lake hydroelectric dam and walked the beaches there (highly recommend). The home has room for adults and kids to spread out in. We enjoyed afternoon fires with marshmallows and evenings playing Foosball, Billards, and watching movies. The basement is a kid friendly layer with double bunk beds and lots of games to entertain. We are looking forward to renting this property again over the summer to enjoy all the beauty of Lake Gaston. Thanks Carl and Sharon for a wonderful week!

We loved it!

We had the best week with our Family at this property. The neighbors were so helpful on giving us some info about the Lake and nearest Boat Dock. The game room was wonderful for all of our kids and their friends that we brought with us. We spent every night playing pool with lots of laughs and fun. We woke up every morning and enjoyed the peace and quiet on the screened in porch. We were able to figure out a way to bring our boat to the Dock and enjoy the lake several days. It was also a blessing to have all the Kayaks for us to go out and enjoy the Lake. It was also very nice to not have to take steps down to the water like some other houses on the Lake. We were able to see so much wildlife like the pack of Deer and Baby Fawns that we saw on a daily basis, Blue Herons, Cranes, Fish, Rabbits, Eagles and Hummingbirds. We loved all the windows and the view of the Lake from the living room and decks. The only thing that we would say is that the beds were not much to our liking. They were all too hard for our preference but that is a personal preference for us. This is certainly a wonderful property to stay at for the week and the owner was great in her communications.

The pros: the house is gorgeous and has plenty of space for a family. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need including spices, cooking spray, first aid supplies, hand soap in the bathrooms, a welcome bag of coffee, ziploc bags and trash bags! There are tons of games and puzzles to entertain on a rainy day. The screened in porch is nice. The yard is fairly level.Things I wish we had known- the water is very, very shallow. It’s more like 24-36 inches with a foot of slimy mud. If you had visions of jumping off the dock that isn’t happening. On our visit the dock ladder was rusted out and my son’s foot went through it on Saturday night (our first night) and unfortunately a new ladder was not available during our stay. This made getting in and out of the water very difficult unless you wanted to walk through the mud. The neighbors are weekend lake house people and very territorial about the water and being in the way of their boat getting in and out. The house had just had the exterminator in and there were huge dead bugs that looked like roaches but I don’t think they were all over the house. The basement had lots of little flies, daddy long legs and a spider so big we named him tarantula. I didn’t mention the bugs to the owners until we left in their defense. Overall we had a nice time boating on the lake which was fairly empty and spending time together.

Thank you for your review. We’re pleased you enjoyed our 9.8-rated home’s spacious design, well-stocked amenities, screened porch, and level yard—perfect for family fun and boating on our serene lake. To enhance your stay, we proactively offered early check-in, which was accepted, provided a $100 refund for the dock ladder delayed repair, and suggested wading a short distance to the kayak entry area for safe water access. The lake’s natural 42-inch depth near the dock transitions to deeper water just 50 feet out, ideal for swimming and enjoying our three kayaks and numerous flotation items. The ladder arrived after your stay, and we had it changed early the next morning to ensure full dock access for future guests. Our exterminator serviced the property before your arrival, and we’ve scheduled a follow-up to maintain a comfortable environment. We encourage guests to report issues during their stay for prompt resolution. Our vibrant lake community, with two neighboring docks and three of four homes being rentals, thrives on friendly cooperation, with boaters and lake users communicating to ensure safety for all. After your stay, we found the front door of the house unlocked, as well as the storage cabinet, posing safety and liability concerns. Additionally, we had to discard a damaged comforter and towels due to irreparable stains, and our cleaners had extensive kitchen and bathroom cleanup. We’ve addressed these issues to welcome future guests for unforgettable memories at our lakefront retreat!

Relaxing Lakeside Retreat

Our family of five enjoyed our stay here. We could have easily shared this house with another family. The home is very clean and organized. We loved the screened in 2nd story porch and sitting out here with a cup of coffee in the morning watching the sunrise over the lake while bird watching was so relaxing. Our teenagers had a great time taking out the kayaks, while our younger son enjoyed fishing off the dock. The dock is in a great place for fishing as there are plenty of weeds and grass surrounding it where the fish like to hang but this makes it not very inviting to want to jump in and swim here. It is also located in a tight inlet area so if you are not an experienced boater you might have a little difficulty with a boat. This house is located on a lower lying area of land surrounding the lake so there are not 75 steps/stairs down to reach the dock, in fact there are none from the driveway to the lake just a very slight slope. The house itself does have 3 levels so there are stairs inside. Oh one other thing the house is located off a gravel road. We had family staying about a mile north of us off this same road so we brought our kids scooters all the way from south FL so the kids could ride from one house to the other but the scooters were obviously useless on gravel. The homeowner was very easy to reach and got back to us quickly with any concerns we may have had.
