About this property

Eagles Retreat is a nature lover's paradise! This private cottage in the woods is a perfect place to get away & unplug from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This lovely lake house has everything you need and more to enjoy Lake Gaston! Although, secluded & private, the house is just minutes West of Highway I-85, making it a perfect location!

The main living area features an open concept floor plan where everyone can gather for meals & board games. The bedrooms & bathrooms are spread throughout all 3 floors, allowing plenty of space and privacy for multiple or large groups. The basement is a perfect hangout area! Cozy cottage decor and features extend through the entire house making you feel like you are in a "home away from home."

After you have settled in and become familiarized with the inside of the house, take a walk outside. It only gets better!! The upstairs deck will take your breath away with the beautifull views of Lake Gaston. Enjoy birdwatching with a cup of coffee or glass of wine on the large screened-in porch or one of several deck landings. It's the perfect spot for an outdoor dinner with the whole family. Several eagles have been spotted flying to and from their nests, hence the name, "Eagles Retreat!"

Take a dip in the water just off the boathouse (over 12 ft), providing hours of entertainment for everyone! A mini-fridge is provided at the dock with a small tiki bar for entertaining. Feel free to tie your boat up to our dock during your stay. Fishing is GREAT off the dock and in the surrounding area--catfish, walleye, bass, crappie/croppie--to name a few.

A private outdoor shower is provided with hot & cold water for rinsing off or cleaning up after a busy day on the lake. Wind down and relax around the firepit overlooking the water--AND don't forget the S'Mores!

Eagles Retreat is a HIDDEN GEM...and an ESCAPE...a RETREAT for the soul! Book your vacation today!

Nearest Boat Launch (3 min): Just on the other side of the bridge--you can see it from the house!
Nearest Grocery: Dollar General on Hiway 58, (10 mins) or Walmart, South Hill, VA (25 min)

Family Affair

It wasn't a totally bad experience... really the biggest complaint is the over all cleanliness. It wasn't filthy by any stretch, but it could have been much cleaner. The bed and pull out couch bed downstairs were both very uncomfortable.

Great House, OK Lake

The house itself was great, well maintained, clean, everything worked. Working gas grill and firewood provided. The Internet service at the house was DSL, very slow. Had a hard time streaming music. The Lake would have some current at times, not all the time. And there was a day with a bit of an oil slick on the water, possibly dam related. We swam and paddle boarded and had a lovely time, nonetheless. We didn't have a boat, that might have been nice for the times when the current was there. Lots of steps down to the dock.

Not pleasant stay

The house has a lot of minuses. First, house was not cleaned before us at all. Dirty laundry, dust, hair, dishwasher was not unload. It was a mess on the kitchen. On the patio were empty beer bottles and gobies. Patio table was Dirty. Their were prepackaged shirts on the bad, which were with stains. And rooms themselves were not cleaned. We addressed these issues to the property manager right away. He promised to us than is going to be a full refund for cleaning fee. However, we not received anything, and he is not answering to our messages. Second, location is not what we were expecting. The house located is at the mouth of the lake and it is a lot of snags at the bottom of the lake. Water itself is very dirty, don't expect that you can swim there. There is dam nearby and when then open it, it looks like an oil on surface. The actual lake gaston is very beautiful, but it is 20 minutes to drive. This house is not suitable for families with kids.
