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!

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!

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!

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.
