Pet Friendly: We know what it's like to have dogs that are part of the family, so we welcome well-behaved, fully housebroken dogs (limit 2). All dogs will need to be registered on the Lake Gaston Vacation Rentals site, and they must be supervised at all times or in a crate if home alone. Please respect our home by keeping the dogs off of the furniture, inside and outside. It is the pet owner's responsibility to clean up any pet waste. There is a non-refundable pet fee of $250. No cats please.
Dock Information: When facing the lake, please note that the boathouse to the left belongs to the neighbors and is not available for guest use. Guests of Tide & Timber are welcome to use the T-dock on the right for fishing (with a valid NC license). However, this dock may not be used to secure watercraft, as the slips are privately deeded. Guests are able to use two visitor slips (day slips) on the main T-Pier on a first come first serve basis for up to 48 hours at a time. Renters bringing their own boats (or personal watercraft) will need to use a key to gain access to the boat ramp to launch and remove their motorboats. Please follow all posted signage with regards to registering your boat.

A few more tid-bits... :)
Septic System: 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.
Navigating the Lake: Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves. Be sure to lower your bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts. Appearances can be deceiving!
Security Camera Disclosure: We take your privacy very seriously. However, this home is monitored by exterior security cameras. The cameras do not record sound.
