We traveled with a large group and found the property perfect for our needs. Everything was well stocked and very clean. We will definitely be back next year! Only thing was very minor- bring some extra blankets if you have additional guests. Lake was perfect and the little beach was a big hit with the kids! Hot tub was perfect for the adults!

Great place for our family of 11!

We enjoyed this home, we spent our days down by the water kayaking, relaxing in our floats, the kids could go out to the water from the beach area and fish off the dock. The owner kept in touch making sure we had a great stay. We hope to return year after next (we have a family trip to Ireland next year.) This is a great place to stay!

Great Place for Families

This was a great house for a large group. We had 3 families vacation together and there was plenty of space to accommodate everyone! The location is quiet with the cove that was perfect for the kids to swim, fish and play in. Lots of memories created and looking forward to creating many more!

We had a great time at Blue Heron! Monte and Wanda provided every amenity we could need or want. The house is spacious and beautiful, and the lake area with beach is perfect! We spent most of the week swimming, floating and kayaking! Thank you for the welcome note and gifts. Your attentiveness is greatly appreciated! We would definitely stay at this home again!

Ladies from Virginia

Eight of us had a wonderful 'Girls' Getaway' at the Blue Heron. The house is spacious and has everything you need. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The owner was so nice and accommodating plus he always responded quickly to questions. I recommend staying at the Blue Heron.

Wonderful, spacious property. Plenty of room for my entire family. Loved all the decks on the back of the house. It was nice and clean when we got there. We enjoyed using the hot tub. Communication with the owner was excellent. He answered every question we had and made the trip perfect.

Great House - Great Location

This house works very well for large groups with 2 full kitchens and many bedrooms. The owner was awesome communicating before our visit and really easy to reach when we needed to find something! The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Great boat dock in a small cove right off the main lake. I would highly recommend this house.

Large lovely home in short cove off main lake

We had a wonderful week at this large home with plenty of space for all to spread out, fully stocked kitchen, great double decker boathouse with beach and kayaks, and comfortable beds and furniture. The screened-in porch was an added plus. It's on a short cove within a kayak ride of the main lake...perfect! Monte was available whenever we had a question...the most responsive host we've had; thank you! Highly recommend this property. Felt like home.

Fantastic home, in a quiet place on the lake, offering a fun and relaxing stay

I'm not sure you could find a better experience on the lake than the Blue Heron! There is way more room here than you will need for your large family getaway. The house has a wonderful walk-in beach, an astounding main-lake cover dock which is great for fishing, a hot tub for relaxing, fire pit for roasting your marshmallows and peace and quiet like nowhere else on the lake. The house is fully stocked with all the appliances, utensils and dishes you could want.

Family Yearly Week at Lake Gaston

Our two son's and our four grandson's had a great week at the lake. One of our daughter-in-law was able to join us the last two days. We mainly went tubing, boat riding, fishing, swimming, grilling, and played board games. We enjoyed a meal at the WatersView restaurant as well as takeout from Lake Gaston Pizza and Pino's Pizza & Restuarant. We have stayed several years at the Blue Heron and have enjoyed each visit. It is a great place with the right accomodations for our family.

Family Vacation at Lake Gaston

We couldn't have picked a better home for our first trip to Lake Gaston. The Blue Heron is perfect for large groups with kids and was one of the cleanest and well stocked rentals my family has ever stayed at. We enjoyed the large kitchen and spacious living areas for our group of 12 to spread out. The kids especially appreciated all of the games, toys, and floats that came with the house. The weather was exceptionally hot, so we basically lived in the water all week, swimming and floating from the dock and beach for hours on end. The owner is very responsive and ensured we had a smooth (and early!) check-in.
