A perfect stay!

The lake house was absolutely stunning. It was very clean and well-equipped with everything you need, including toys and kids books, which we used a lot. The play set came in handy, and the bunk bed room was a huge hit. We hope to make this a yearly trip!

Great Girls Trip

We had an amazing weekend! The house was perfect and the owners were great to work with! There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Mimosas on the dock was made for such a relaxing start to the day. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful -Well-Appointed Lake House

The house had every amenity that we needed for cooking and having fun in the water. The 72 steps down to the water, made it impossible for elderly relatives to come down to the dock but the rest of us enjoyed the floats, kayaks and lounge chairs as well as the board for jumping off the top dock into the water. Lake Gaston is clean and the water refreshing but not too cold. We thoroughly enjoyed our first time stay at the lake.

Awesome house and property for a large family reunion!

We had family members ranging in age from 7 mos. to 65. The dock and water area were occupied all day long. The attention to areas and playthings for children was so appreciated. Nice playground, plenty of outside toys, and inside play areas. Plenty of kayaks and life jackets available. Lots of space for cooking and dining, and outside seating areas. If we return to Lake Gaston this is the house we want.

Had many amenities not mentioned, such as high chair, pack and play, hair dryers and toiletries in each bathroom, which was awesome, but would have been nice to know so we didn’t have to pack them! Had trouble logging into the Wi-Fi and team member was helpful when we called.

Great time at Lake Gaston

Overall good house with Great Lake views . Few maintenance issues. House could have been cleaner... grounds left in coffee pot, trash left in compactor, and old socks under downstairs ottoman. My recommendation would be to swap out queen beds for kings. Only one king bed in house. Spacious kitchen and family room. Kids had a blast with floating pad, nice perk! A lot of stairs, to house but overall great vacation spot.

Great Lake Gaston!

House was amazing. Great for kids and room to spread out. Was a bit big for our group but it was nice to have the space. The dock was awesome. The jump on the top was great! Water was rough at all times. People drive right in front of the dock all day and look up. It’s definitely one of the prime pieces of real estate on the lake for sure! At the same time it makes it rough and is kind of annoying, but I still think it’s a great property and in a prime area for sure. Dock could use some more cleats and why in the heck is a potted plant bolted into the dock? Weird setup but it worked. We knew it would be choppy but a couple of babz balls and fenders and our Malibu 25 LSV was fine all weekend. Definitely would stay again.

Lake Gaston first-timers

Loved our location on the lake. Beautiful views. House was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. Rooms worked perfectly for our group. Kitchen extremely well stocked. Didn’t realize we would be so far from grocery stores or restaurants but we made the best of it. Also WiFi in the area is sparse. If you have to keep in touch with work while away, expect some issues. Satellite TV not good. We had beautiful weather and spent all of our time out on the lake but after dinner when we wanted to put a movie on or watch a show it was difficult to access anything. We brought puzzles and games so TV not needed. 73 steps to the water!! Legs got a good workout. We are now officially “lake people”...may not ever go back to our beach vacations! Would absolutely return to this house!

Beautiful location and big house

This property provides an awesome location right on the water, and it has a great layout for multiple families. The rooms have great flexibility for where people will sleep, and the little amenities are a nice touch. It seems that the house was very thoughtfully curated when first launched as a vacation rental, but has since been neglected and on autopilot. Communication is mostly non-existent other than automated messages. They direct you to SMS and keep all communication off of VRBO (or other OTAs), yet don't respond to text messages. . Indoor camera facing entry area, and another indoor camera downstairs! Primary bedroom got down to 55 deg at night despite thermostat at 70. Thermostats all drop to low 60s at night even if you change them. Mold throughout the house. Multiple guests had reactions before we even saw it, and we found visible mold in multiple rooms on ceiling, walls, and/or doors. Garage fridge all moldy. Amenities are VERY light - one dishwasher pod, no laundry detergent, no batteries in any Xbox controllers so kids could only share one. Play gym that is pictured is not there, just a swing set. Advertised fire pit is not there. Bugs throughout home, spider webs across top of kitchen cabinets. Multiple plumbing fixtures broken. Toilet completely detached from floor and rocked when you sat on it. You have to make your own beds on arrival.

Beautiful Vacation Spot

We chose this home for a mini family reunion with ages 10 months to 70 years old. Everyone was happy with the choice and we had a great time. There were a couple of tweaks that would have been helpful to know but it didn’t detract from our weekend. Kids loved having new to them toys.

Amazing family trip

We made a last minute trip to Lake Gaston and it was everything we hoped! The house is more than accommodating and had everything we needed; fit 3 adults and 5 children with plenty of space left over…lots of privacy for those that wanted it to include the teens! Games to play at night..massive kitchen! The lake, awesome..the boat house and dock…amazing. Kids had an amazing time. Rented a local boat and had a great time tubing…will certainly come again!

Nothing short of AMAZING!

The house is beautiful inside and out. It was a little chilly so we didn't get much outside time. My husband and i renewed our vows on the front lawn. My whole family was amazed at how much space we had. It was such a busy week/weekend that we didnt get to really enjoy the house like we wanted so we will definitely return in the spring. Les, was on top of our every need!

Great Lake House!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The owners were available with any questions that I had and I had a response within a very reasonable amount of time. The house layout was nice and we liked the fact that you can sit on the outside patio and see the dock. The kids really liked the scooters in the garage play area and the 2 offices were so nice for the kids to do virtual school while we were there. The linens came in sealed packages so we were confident that they were cleaned. The outside playground area is only a couple of swings instead of what is shown in the pictures of a full playset equipment. Our kids loved being able to swing in the front yard. Make sure to bring kitchen towels and a sponge to do dishes with you because there wasn't one to use during our stay. You are about 25-30 mins drive from the nearest grocery store so make sure you double check your grocery list before you head out so you are not missing something and having to go back often. We will definitely come back!
