Everything was just as promised - lovely 4-BR townhome with wonderful lake views. An added plus if you have a boat is it's right by the marina. Everything was new, in great shape and worked well, a very comfortable place and it's close to Food Lion/ Watersview as well. Highly recommended!

Tranquil Stay

The Lookout is a beautiful lakefront townhome that is extremely clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, and peaceful with everything a family would need for a short vacation stay. The owners, Gretchen and Jason, were professionals who responded timely to my inquiries. I was born and raised in the Lake Gaston area, and moved away 43 years ago, but the Lookout would entice me to move back. It is a wonderful vacation home with so many amenities for a large family to enjoy. I could not get my family out of the basement game room. The Vrbo photos do not do it justice. It is absolutely breathtaking with beautiful views from all balconies and the patio. Unforgettable family memories were made during our stay. It would have been great if check-in was a little earlier than 4:00pm.

Great place for one family, two small families, or small group

Nice new townhouse. Well equipped and organized. You can even walk to Eaton Ferry Marina, AF Wake/LakeGastonRentals-to rent jet skis, boats, and take lessons. There aren't a lot of dining options, so it's very useful to have a 5 min drive to Food Lion. Owners are very responsive. Very useful that the owners have put pictures in each cabinet so you know where to put items after you're done.

House was exactly as described. Very well-appointed kitchen for those that like cooking at home. Very good communication from the owners and lots of TVs and good Wifi if you're into that. Everything in the house was in good shape, too. No rickety or dirty furniture. The property is a short walk from the Pointe restaurant and also a very short walk to AF Wake, where we were able to rent kayaks and paddle them up to the back door of the townhouse. You could also walk to rent pontoon boats or jet-skis if you wanted.
