We loved the comfortable beds, clean space, and quiet setting. The deck and the dock were great for star-gazing, bird-watching, and good conversations. Close to a park with walking trails, and of course the beautiful lake. Would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing stay at this Lake Gaston lake house! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The lake views were beautiful, and the amenities made our trip unforgettable. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, boating, and spending evenings around the fire pit. The private dock and outdoor spaces were perfect for making memories with family and friends. This is the perfect place for fun, relaxation, and enjoying everything Lake Gaston has to offer. Highly recommend!

This house is so pretty, great deck in the back for morning coffee and cocktails at sunset with a good amount of.parking and a beautiful lake view. We celebrated my son's 30th birthday with family and it was fun time with the right amount of room for us. The pool was perfect and a short walk to the lake. The food market was 10 mins away. The host was very accessible and helpful with questions.

This is an amazing property. The home is beautiful and sits on a quiet cove just off the main lake. The amenities were plentiful, including a new outdoor pool that we thoroughly enjoyed, games, floats, water toys and a large dock that easily accommodated our boat. The location is perfect - near restaurants and grocery stores. The host, Jenn, could not have been better. She was wonderful to work with, and we would highly recommend this home!!

Our family had an amazing stay at this lake house. We visit Lake Gaston several times a year, and this was truly one of the best homes we’ve stayed in. The house was beautiful, fully equipped, and comfortably accommodated our multigenerational family of ten. We absolutely loved the pool and hot tub — they were highlights of our stay. We also appreciated not having to bring linens, towels, or washcloths; all we needed to bring was our family and our food.The location was very convenient to Food Lion and our hometown of Littleton. Our only recommendation would be to add a bit more lighting, along the path leading to the pier. Other than that, everything was excellent.We’ve already decided this will be our go‑to home every time we visit Lake Gaston. Highly recommend — definitely a 5‑star stay.

A fantastic summer getaway

This was a fantastic find on Lake Gaston. There was plenty of room for the six of us. We made use of the kayaks, paddle board and large float. And we all had a great time! Plenty of dishes and silverware! Only thing I’d note is the Tiki Bar area needed some cleaning. Fridge there (which was great to have) was pretty dirty.

Excellent Weekend Getaway!!

Wonderful hosts, communication was prompt and accurate. House was clean as a whistle. Every inside like new. The deck has a great view of the lake. Quiet neighborhood. Flat backyard with easy access to dock and amazing boathouse with shaded bar and seating area. Water off the dock is clean and is deep enough for swimming. Gentle slope to the shore so you could walk right in. Overall 5 stars. We definitely plan to return in the future.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this property. We spent most of our time hanging out on the large dock and in the lake. The home is located on a great cove with tons of room for water sports, floating and swimming. It’s also centrally located near a few restaurants and it’s about a 15 minute drive to the grocery store. We loved having the fridge on the dock so we could store drinks and snacks so we didn’t have to trek back and forth to the house. Having the boat slips open to dock our boat was super helpful so we didn’t have to worry about our boat getting bumped around if it were just tied up. The house was spacious and well equipped with all the necessities of home. Jenn, the owner, was easy to work with if we had anything come up. My whole family enjoyed our week at Lake Gaston and would recommend this location!

Lake Paradise!

This property is at the top of our best vacations ever list. The two floor living was perfect for our two families of four. The home was loaded with all the cooking and hanging out by the lake amenities you could imagine. Perfect property to relax and swim in a quieter finger just off the main lake but still have access to everything within a 5 mile drive or quick boat ride. The dock was perfect for swimming and tying the boat up for the week. It was awesome the owners allowed use of their wakeboard and kneeboard; our teens and tweens learned watersports for the first time. Our pups also loved having the shallow lake/beach entrance on the property to wade and swim around. Oh and the new, huge hot tub was a hit amongst the kids and adults. Can’t say anything more than the place is perfect for a family or two family vacay at Lake Gaston!
