My family and I had an excellent long Labor Day weekend here. The house was just as the pictures show. It was very clean and kitchen had all of the items you need. The covered porch is fantastic for the family to gather and the propane fire pit was a huge hit with all! I was a bit concerned with the shallow water under the covered dock, but my 19ft Sea Ray Bow Rider fit right in with no issues. The bridge to the main lake is a very tight fit, but with bumpers on both sides of your boat and a slow and steady pass it worked out OK. It is also very nice to be so close to the Marina for launching, fuel, and ice. Our Host Lisa was very nice to work with and communicated with me when needed before & after our stay. This is a great place and we had a great first trip to Lake Gaston!
