About this property

Lakefront getaway with dock!

Welcome to Serenity at Lake Gaston — a peaceful lakefront retreat tucked in a quiet cove on Jimmies Creek. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers just over 2,000 sq ft of comfort, perfect for families and friends.

Enjoy easy access to the water from your private dock and a gentle slope to the lake. Spend the day paddling with our kayaks and paddleboards, or rent jet skis for a little extra excitement. Evenings are for gathering around the fire pit, roasting s’mores, and watching the stars.

Inside, you’ll find a game-filled garage with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball, plus high-speed Wi-Fi and streaming TVs. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the deck is the perfect spot to dine outdoors while taking in stunning sunset views.
Serenity at Lake Gaston is your place to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories—whether you’re on the water, by the fire, or simply soaking up the peaceful lake life.

The home is very comfortable and the host well very pleasant. The little touches and decorating for the holiday was very nice and thoughtful for our vacation away from home for the holidays.
Watched this Great Blue Heron every morning " nick name Terry the pterodactyl" we loved identifying all the birds we seen.
This is exactly what was needed for this break and you captured it all in your home and space.
Coffee in the morning watching the sunrise and set has been the highlight of my trip.

This was the perfect getaway! The peaceful location was great for us to unwind and unplug for Spring Break. Our family appreciated the amenities like the kayaks (and life vests!), paddle boards, camping chairs, and fire pit. The smores supplies were an added bonus that we enjoyed at sunset. The house was clean and spacious and decorated nicely. It has everything you need - pots and pans, baking sheets, plenty of cups and plates and cooking utensils. This property felt like home and we would not hesitate to stay here again. We are a family of 6 and the bedrooms were perfectly situated to accommodate our kids from ages 6 to 15. Get ready for family game nights, sunsets on the lake, and a relaxing stay!

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Apr, 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words— it truly means a lot! 😊 I’m so glad your family was able to relax and enjoy some time together (and that the s’mores made it into the mix at sunset — always a favorite!). Sounds like you made the most of everything, which is exactly what we hope for. We’d absolutely love to have you back anytime!

Plenty of space, very clean, well equipped, in an excellent location, comfortable beds, great table to gather around for meals and family game time, quiet location, easy communication with the hosts, a fun s'mores toasting pit (complete with lovely welcome gift), safe cove to swim in.

Great property with plenty to do!

The house was perfect for our short stay during a wedding in the area. Although it was November, the temperature was mild so we could walk around the neighborhood and enjoy playing cards and board games in the evening. I loved the layout of the house and all the extras included. I would highly recommend this property!

Nice place for two small families

Large bedrooms with king beds, nice walk in shower in the main en suite bath.Plenty of room for two families of 4. The kitchen is well appointed and perhaps a little small, but pretty workable for a short term rental. We did not swim, but the dock offers afternoon shade and a nice place to enjoy the lake view.
