We had a wonderful stay at this Lake Gaston house. The property was exactly as described — very clean, well equipped, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. The kitchen had everything we needed and the lake view is beautiful. We especially appreciated how dog friendly the home was. It’s not always easy to find a place that truly welcomes pets, and this property is stocked with pet items as well. It was clear a lot of care went into making guests feel comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dog friendly lakefront getaway.

Great stay with extended family

We had a fantastic stay in this dog friendly home. The owners definitely recognizes that your pup is part of the family and designed their home to include them! There are many steps to the water but landings are added to make it very manageable.

Perfect long weekend getaway…highly recommend!

We loved everything about the house and property. The views of the lake were stunning and the fenced in yard and trees made for a private feel. The property managers made us feel very welcomed and answered all of our questions during our stay. We highly recommend this home for any family or small group looking to get away for a few days or even a couple of weeks!

We stayed at this beautiful lakefront home this past weekend and absolutely loved it! Jen was one of the best hosts I’ve ever dealt with and this was also one of the best stays I’ve experienced while traveling with our family. The property was super clean and had everything we needed. The view, boathouse and yard were also added bonuses. Will definitely come back in the future and couldn’t recommend more!

My family likes to get together for this holiday, and this house was perfect for us. Check-in was super easy. There was plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. The screened in porch was really nice with a great view of the lake. All communications were answered promptly and the place was very clean. Would definitely come back again!

Was everything it advertised. We will stay here again. The only complaint is that cards do not slide well on the table, but we were able to combat that by simply throwing a blanket over it. We had an awesome time. We were not expecting the neighbors dog to welcome us at 10pm, but it is super friendly and had that puppy energy to welcome us in. My daughter wanted to take it home.

We had an enjoyable vacation on the lake . The house was pet friendly and plenty of comforts for our Labrador and family. The lake view was beautiful and unobstructed. The home was clean and comfortable and amenities were pleasant. Our favorite part was having boat access and the screened in porch. I would highly recommend staying at this lake house. One note to advise future renters, be aware in order to venture out of the cove to the main lake area on your boat, you must go under a very low bridge in very tight concrete pylons. It requires more than two on the boat to navigate the tight passage way.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Grinter

Host profile image
My husband I own this house with our two children. We all live in central North Carolina and love popping up to the lake to relax, fish, and escape the noise of everyday life. We love cooking and have a fully equipped kitchen.

Why they chose this property

The screened porch is our happy place. We kick back in the many seats and sip our morning coffee or enjoy an afternoon nap. The view to the lake is great, but at sunset, it is extra special!

What makes this property unique

We have 5 big dogs between us and we still don't feel crowded in the house. We also made sure to fence in the large back yard so they could roam freely. Any outside door of the house will lead to a fenced area. No need to worry about children or dogs slipping through the door and wondering into the road. Also, down by the dock there is another gate. No child or animal will accidentally make their way to the water. We want you to feel confident that your family is safe!
