About this property

LAKE PERFECTION! Majestic views, A+ Location, TWO story dock. Pristine and comfy

Welcome to CAROLINA HAVEN - a unique paradise that truly has it all. Beautiful, spacious A-frame situated close to the water with exceptional views of the lake - both from the inside of house, the wrap around deck and the exceptional TWO TIER Dock. This paradise is perfectly positioned right off the main lake at between marker #5 and 6 for easy access by water or by land. Located on a quiet cove with calm, glass like waters - perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The two tier dock is an experience of its own - where you can enjoy drinks at the Tiki bar, wade in the 1 foot deep water at the bulkhead or get adventurous and jump off of the top dock into 14 feet deep water. If wakeboarding, tubing and skiing. is more your plan - just 1/4 mile away is the main lake for the fast action. In side this spacious haven you will find a fully stocked open kitchen, 4 spacious bedrooms including two main bedrooms, an inviting living room area with fire place and a game room for the kids with fooseball, knock hockey and board games. Right outside the house you can relax in a shaded breezy hammock, freshen up in the outdoor shower, roast smores at the fire pit or read a book in the screened in porch. Located just a 5 minute drive from town for grocery shopping, pizza, shopping and more. This lakehouse truly has it all. Fees include cleaning fee, fresh linens and paper products.

Great place to stay. Off the main lake where it is safe for the kids yet a couple hundred yards to the main lake. Kids love jumping off the upper deck. This was our 2nd time staying here and we will definitely be back.

Lovely get-away for the whole family

My family and I had a wonderful time at Kristin's. It was clean, quiet, spacious, and had everything we needed for a 3 day get-away. The game room, bikes and boats kept all the kids busy and active. The view was beautiful and I wish we could have spent another week at this peaceful oasis.

We loved the house and the boat dock. The view was also amazing. We made great memories!

Spacious house with beautiful views of the lake. New boat dock with plenty of chairs, even for our large group. Kitchen is a little small for a large group but we made it work. Definitely would recommend this rental to friends.

An Epic Retirement Celebration

An unforgettable time was had this past weekend at Lake Gaston. The grand finale of our retirement celebration took place with family and friends. We created lifelong memories. The home was a perfect space for hosting with an abundance of delicious food, refreshing drinks, heartfelt laughter and fun. Our guests drove from Georgia, Virginia, and all over North Carolina to be with us and share in the joy. EVERYTHING was perfect. The beds were comfortable, the linen and towels were hotel quality. The kitchen amenities were fabulous and clean. We had more than enough sleeping space. An easy check-in and check-out process. The homeowner communicated very timely and was very accommodating. The location of the home was on a quiet street and not too far from hotels for our guests. We had sufficient parking space. We will definitely will return!
The girls enjoyed the provided paddle boat

We didn't want to leave

We had a fabulous week at this property. What a great location on the lake. We spent almost every day on the dock fishing or playing games and relaxing. This location was a wonderful halfway point for family in Florida and New Hampshire. Lots of space to be together and space to go off and read or watch your favorite show.

Lovely Lake Gaston Getaway

Our goal was a relaxing and fun week of watersports, chilling, and grilling! Carolina Haven provided us with the opportunity to satisfy all of our goals and more! The house was clean, comfortable, and beautifully situated on a quiet cove just minutes from the main lake, and we loved jumping from the deep water dock! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us. It was a great week!

Relaxing, fun, and beautiful!

This property is exactly as shown in pictures and description. It has EVERYTHING you need and the communication with property owner is great. We were amazed at the attention to detail and foresight the owners had in stocking the house and pier. Beautiful location! We vacationed with another family so 4 adults and 4 young kids, the trip was flawless. Everyone had a wonderful time!!! Highly recommend this location.
