We booked this property a month before our stay because the listing showed a lakeside home with a dock and water access. We were bringing two families with kids, a boat, and a jet ski. The kids spent a month excited about fishing from the dock and spending the week on the lake.We arrived with three trucks loaded with our families, gear, and watercraft. The kids ran straight to the lake—only to find the dock sitting on dry ground with grass growing around it. There was no water anywhere near the dock. The kids were devastated, and our youngest started crying.I called the host and explained the situation. She actually giggled and said, “You know we’re in a drought, right?” I told her every listing photo showed water and that she should have contacted us if conditions had changed. Her response was, “Well, there was water in the lake when you booked.”That is the reason for this review. I understand the host cannot control drought or lake levels, but she CAN control communication. She clearly knew about the conditions and never warned us.Thankfully, she agreed to refund us all but one day and fees. We found another rental on Lake Gaston that evening and had a great week.If you are renting this property for boating, fishing, or lake access, confirm the water level with the host before you go.
