Disliked: Cleanliness
The interior of the home was clean but the exterior was not clean at all. We had to clean what it seemed to be weeks/months worth of dirt and grime away from any area we planned to use. Sorry, we did not take pictures but wish we had. We only stayed (2) nights. Great location and overall amenities. The owner seems to strictly in it for the ROI

Merry Christmas at the Lake!

Loved our Lake Gaston stay. My family has always had lake gatherings since I was a little girl and this was the perfect way to continue this tradition with my children and grandchild. Amazing location! Serene, quiet, awesome sunsets. House was fantastic. Game room brought back childhood memories. Even as a December rental with colder weather, the house and lake was great for our Christmas family gathering. Would definitely consider renting again. Thank you!

Truly Awesome Sunsets

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. Fires, fishing, cards, pool, ping pong, boating, family meals and perfect weather. Even with 66 degree water temp we tubed and water skied! Plenty of kitchen supplies, plenty of room for all our food. Our dogs loved the dock and the yard. We will be back!

One last hoorah

One last trip hoorah before school starts. This place was great. Probably better than pictured and described. We had 8 adults and 6 kids 6 and under. There was plenty of room to play and sleep. House was clean and well stocked. Boat house is amazing and also well stocked with water skis,tubes,ropes,life jackets pool noodles like I’ve never seen, and fishing poles. Sunsets were amazing. We rented a pontoon from stonehouse timber lodge. The lady that runs it is great. It’s about a 25 minute boat ride back to the house. The cove the house is on is big and wasn’t very busy during our stay. Our only issue was that we couldn’t stay longer. Would love to do it again! Thanks for sharing your home!

Great Place, Nice Location on the Lake

We had a great time here. Brought our boat and tied up at the dock. The house is located in a protected area from the main lake and we had a great time hanging out on the water. House is well stocked with water toys, so be sure to check them out. Listing is as described and the house is well maintained. Definitely recommend.

Meeting our boys from NC

My family and our friends live in MD. We met our sons who live in NC. The house was perfect for our group of 12. It is very spacious with lots of seating. The covered boat deck was awesome since our weather wasn’t great. The amenities were as advertised and there were a lot. We had a great weekend and would definitely go back.

Peace and quiet

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Awesome Sunsets. The kitchen is fully stocked and I cooked every night. Even though it was just the two of us, this place is great to share with family! The two separate living areas would allow for some great family fun playing pool and games while also providing some personal space. The view from the boat dock was a little slice of heaven. We could truly see ourselves living lake life on a more permanent basis. The hosts have really outdone themselves with all the little touches to make any length of stay a memorable one.

Family Thanksgiving

We rented Awesome Sunsets as a central location for our extended family to celebrate Thanksgiving 2023. The property was immaculate and well appointed. Given that the main event was Thanksgiving, we were delighted to find 3 large refrigerator/freezers inside and another at the boat house. The house provided plenty of entertainment options for the family. We were delighted with this wonderful vacation rental!

A slice of heaven!

This was our first trip to Lake Gaston and it certainly will not be our last! The house is stellar to say the least! It worked out perfectly for our group. We had adults and tweens on the top floor and our teenage boys took over the bottom level: “The Man Cave!” I think they will be very disappointed when they go to college and find their apartments are not nearly as nice as this LOL! We could close the door and it was like having two houses in one! And what a prime location! You have deep water where the kids can jump and dive but not too deep where you’re over worried. The adults, my kids and their friends loved all of the many many amenities offered! There is way more than what’s listed on the site! I will say I was a bit perturbed that my Frogger skills didn’t return after many moons and I gave up on the arcade game but it was great! So nostalgic and even the young ones enjoyed playing! We rented a pontoon boat and my absolute favorite memory was how much our pups loved boating! One even walked down to the boathouse in the rain asking to go out on a ride. We all agreed that we are by far lake people over beach people and would love love love to return to this magnificent house next Summer!

We had a wonderful trip. The home is equipped with everything anyone could need. Top of the line on everything! Great dishes to cook with, lots of linens, even extra beach towels. Don was amazing to work with- answered every question we asked, within minutes. So accommodating and kind to let us use paddle boards, kayaks, every water floats, water toy imaginable. We rented a pontoon boat- and had an excellent experience- easy to tie up, and close boat ride to the home. Close to grocery store, and 6 miles to fabulous Waterview's restaurant.
