About this property

Lake Life is the BEST Life! Formally "Livin The Dream"

It's a new name, but it's the same great property! This property was formerly called "Livin The Dream" Lake Gaston.
The home features two living spaces, an open-concept kitchen/dining area, decks/balconies overlooking the sandy beach and main lake waters, a bedroom with a king-size bed and full bath on the main level, two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the second floor, and a walkout terrace level with a full bath and laundry.
Guests can use our three kayaks and two paddle boards for no additional cost.
The basement is also full of fun! There are lots of games, including trivia, foosball, Golden Tee, ping-pong, a poker table, and corn hole.
Several floats, some sand toys for kids, two beach chairs, three folding outdoor chairs, and fishing poles are also included for use.
We are steps away from the pickleball/tennis and basketball court. All the equipment needed to play is included in your stay.
Nights sitting by a fire out on the back porch watching the sunset are the best!

The location is central to shopping/dining/golfing/watersports.
Summers on the lake are fun; however, this home offers fun year-round!

We are a dog-friendly home!
There is a Pet Fee of $25/day

About the host

Hosted by Maria and Myatt Meier

My husband and I met in Atlanta; we lived there until his job relocated us to New England in 2009.
We have visited family at Lake Gaston for the last 15 years.
We love spending time with family at the lake, where boating, water sports, jet skiing, kayaking, and paddle boarding are the highlights.
Our goal is to have a place that guests want to keep coming back to, memories made at the lake are memories you will have forever. I was fortunate enough to grow up on a lake in NY, we lived close to a lake in Georgia and when my cousins bought lake houses on Lake Gaston, we were fortunate enough to spend a week every summer here.
My kids learned how to kneeboard, ski, wake surf and have gone for many tube rides. They have also learned how to kayak/ paddleboard. My husband has been known to grab a jet ski and disappear for hours at a time!
It is being with family/friends and spending time that is the most important.
Lake Gaston is the perfect location for my family in the south to meet up with those of us who now live up North,

Why they chose this property

Enjoy convenient access to golf, shopping, and restaurants, all while having a front-row seat to the stunning sunsets that the lake offers every day. We cherish our time at the lake with family and are excited to share our home, allowing others to create their own memorable experiences.
