A few more tid-bits... :)
1. The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system. This system is a finely balanced biological system. Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper. Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.
2. Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves. Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boats.(make sure to bring your bumpers!).
3. Culverts & Bridges: Be sure to lower your bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts. Appearances can be deceiving!
4. Security Camera Disclosure: We take your privacy very seriously. However, this home may be monitored by exterior security cameras. The cameras do not record sound. Please let us know if this is an issue with your party for any reason.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Pretty Creek retreat was pretty awesome!
I rented this lovely property for a week in August for a family gathering. The house was great, roomy, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. Between the Olympics and the pool table we were well entertained when not on the lake. The location in the cove, with not a lot of boat traffic, worked well and we had plenty of room to tie up our 2 boats. I brought a swim mat that got lots of use just tied to the pier. Also having a community boat ramp just 0.3 mi from the house was so convenient. Our rental agent was great and promptly responded to our questions.
Bottom line, we are planning on renting this property again next summer.
