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.
