About this property

Lake Gaston Waterfront Cottage Sleeps 6 with private Boathouse

Beautiful fully furnished 3 bedroom 2 bath home for rent on Lake Gaston. Open floor plan on the main level includes living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances to include dishwasher, gas stove, microwave and a refrigerator with ice-maker. Kitchen is fully equipped with thoughtful additions for the family chef such as baking dishes, pizza pan, cutting boards, cake pans, blender, tea kettle, hand mixer and a bread-maker! Sleeping arrangements upstairs consist of two bedrooms, both with queen size beds that share a hall bath with Jacuzzi tub on the first floor. French doors open to the spacious deck with gas grill, outdoor Adirondack chair seating to enjoy the view of the lake and a table and chairs for outdoor dining. during evening sunsets. The spacious lower level has a large open living room/recreation room with a large bathroom with tub and third queen bedroom. The downstairs recreation room features a full size air hockey table, and foosball, bar area and movie pit with 60 inch TV. Amenities for the little ones include, booster seat, baby gate, books and toys for smaller children including toys for infants. Teens and adults will enjoy the selection of video games, movies and books for evening or rainy day activity. French doors open to a patio area outside the lower level rec room with comfortable Adirondack chairs for enjoying the lake view from the patio.

A wooden walkway accompanies you from the lower level all the way to the covered boathouse with lift, power and light. Use of the private boathouse and boat ramp is included in rental with the private boat ramp for the community included with your rental located across from the home. Because this house sits in the rear of the cove, boat noise is very minimal. There is good fishing right off of the dock and also a ladder for swimming. While the water right off the end of the dock is about 5 feet...perfect for kids, it does drop off about 10 yards out to about 9-11 feet depending on conditions, to provide plenty of depth for boats of all sizes.

No smoking or pets allowed. Verizon cell service works best, but cell reception can be spotty at our rural oasis. New this year is access to internet and smart TV's for streaming movies.

Lyric's Lair is close to wineries, breweries, and antique shops Local businesses offer boat, jetski, and paddleboard rental.

About the host

Hosted by Malena Malone-Blevins and Michael Blevins

Host profile image
Hello! We are the Blevins family. We live in Woodbridge, Virginia and are a family of three. A working wife and husband who both work in downtown Washington, DC and our daughter, Lyric, for whom the house is named (Lyric's Lair) We are your typical two-income working busy family. We love making memories at Lake Gaston and still schedule use of the house ourselves working around our many repeat renters who come back each year to make their own memories at Lake Gaston.

Why they chose this property

This property was originally supposed to be a 'build it and sell it" type of investment, but we fell in love with Lake Gaston and its been an important part of our life ever since. We didn't originally think we would rent the house, but found that we loved it so much we wanted to share our little piece of Lake Gaston heaven with others who wanted to enjoy this unique lake.

Everything we do, we do with family in mind. Like childproof locks and outlet covers throughout the house so that parents with small children can relax a bit more. Nightlights, and a booster seat are provided as an assist for the little ones to feel comfortable in a new place. The movie area downstairs has a sectional sofa instead of theater seating so everyone can sit together. We work hard to keep the house in excellent shape, keep it modern and provide all the comforts of home for our guests.

What makes this property unique

The house faces the west, so the sunsets in the evening are particularly spectacular from the upstairs deck. The house is shaded and protected by the tall trees that stand in the yard. These trees provide shade, and protection from boat noise, but most of all provide a natural playground for many species of native birds, including humming birds, and red crested woodpeckers. The low level lights outside at night provide opportunities for star gazing at a level you just can't get in the city. The lake house was really designed to fit as unobtrusively as possible into its natural surroundings. We have a saying in our family that goes "You haven't been TO the lake, until you have been IN the lake"!

With the increased interest in renting at Lake Gaston, new businesses are popping up all the time! We are now just a short drive from a coffee shop, breweries, a winery, and antique shops.
