2. 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.
3. 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. Please make sure to bring your bumpers!.
4. Culverts & Bridges: Be sure to lower your Bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts. Appearances can be deceiving, and the water levels can flucuate daily!

LKG favorite
Our family has been coming to LKG for almost 15 years. Our teenagers have grown up spending a week with their cousins on the lake and everyone from ages 10 - 50 said this was their favorite place. The home is beautiful, the dock setup was awesome, and everything was better than advertised.

Awesome time at Yellowstone!!
Our family takes a week vacation to either a lake or a beach. We chose Yellowstone at Lake Gaston having never been there before. It was wonderful!! The family consists of our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Everyone wants to go back to Yellowstone next summer. I’ll be making that reservation soon. The house was very well stocked with everything we might need. We did need kitchen towels and dishrags. The boat dock was terrific. The paddle boards and kayaks were enjoyed but one paddle board did have a crack when we got there. We did rent a golf cart to take us old folks and supplies back and forth to the dock but it wasn’t a bad walk. The weather was wonderful except a storm one night. A couple of doors leaked but it was a very windy and blowing sheets of rain. Looking forward to next year!!

Wonderful house and location
Our sewing group from church had a 3 day retreat at The Yellowstone. The house and grounds are lovely. The kitchen is well appointed. We were able to relax on the deck and also work on various projects. When we checked in one of the two refrigerators wasn’t working. The property manager immediately sent out a maintenance person to check it. Unfortunately it needed repair. Within 2 hours I had a call from the owner saying a brand new one puls be delivered first thing in the morning. It was about 7 PM, so that was very reasonable. The refrigerator came, as promised. This issue was resolved in a very prompt and concerned manner. Kudos to the property manager and owner. The location on the lake is lovely. I would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful experience for my annual family retreat!
Our family had an unforgettable time at this stunning log cabin! The views of the sunset over the lake were absolutely breathtaking, and we couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque setting. The cabin was well-equipped with tons of fun activities – from shuffleboard to board games – and the kayaks were a fantastic way to explore the lake. The beautiful dock was perfect for swimming, and we spent hours enjoying the water.
This home truly has it all, offering both relaxation and adventure in a gorgeous setting. We will absolutely be recommending The Yellowstone to friends and family for their next getaway!
