The private waterfront vacation destination has all the amenities of home - and MORE. A giant screened in porch overlooking the lake can host your dinners and evening cocktail hour. A large downstairs recreation room is great for keepingu the kids occupied in the evenings or on rainy days with ping pong table, Pac Man machine, TV, and many many books, games and puzzles! This property is not baby/toddler proofed in any way, so be cautious with very young children. A ring camera for safety is located at the front door - no other cameras are on this property.

We had a great week (July 2025)! Perfect size house for our family of 6. House was well appointed and maintained. Excellent outdoor areas (boathouse and patio). Fun game room/tv room in basement. Good beds and baths. Loved location near Eaton Ferry Marina and mid-lake. One small downside is the shallow/mucky water off the dock, but you only have to go out a short way to get to great spots for swimming/floating, which we did all day. Owner was very responsive to all my messages, including an emergency service call to fix a/c mid-week (an easy fix). I recommend this house and would stay here again.

Perfect July 4th

I cannot say enough about this beautiful home. It is so well maintained and comfortable. It is beautifully decorated. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The home is stocked with everything you can possibly need.Hanging out on the covered dock was such a treat. There was plenty of seating for everyone. We loved having coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon on the screened in porch. The homeowner was always quick to respond with thoughtful helpful messages. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the perfect July 4!

Great house in a great cove!

The house was incredibly clean and the beds were comfortable. We loved having fires in the fire pit and hanging out on the beautiful dock. The cove is nice and quiet, perfect for kayaking with the kayaks provided. It's also quick and easy to get to the main lake and the dock is a perfect place to park your boat. In addition to the house being fantastic, communication with Valerie was incredible. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a gem on Lake Gaston! This vacation rental was everything we hoped for and more. The beautiful views and peaceful setting in a secluded cove made it the perfect escape. We especially loved waking up to the sound of birds singing each morning—it was like nature’s own soundtrack. The huge screened-in porch on the second floor was a dream come true for my art projects—so much space, fresh air, and inspiring scenery. Whether you're looking for a family getaway or a quiet retreat for two, this spot checks all the boxes. Highly recommend!

Amazing family vacation

This was our first experience using Vrbo for a family vacation so we were pessimistic everything would work out perfectly...I was wrong. The owner provided amazing communication and details and check-in was simple. The property was super clean and inviting! We really appreciated the fact that everything in the house is quality e.g., comfort of beds, linens, kitchenware, etc. The boathouse provided plenty of room to relax and listen to music while fishing. Everyone was sad to leave but we will definitely be booking another trip here. Thanks so much!

Exceptional Lake Gaston Getaway

This was a wonderful vacation from the time we set foot on the property till we had to leave. This house is spacious and had everything we could want and more! It is very clean and the decor is very much modern and inviting. The whole family appreciated the screened in porch where we ate supper- totally bug free! The dock was perfect with shade and sun for all. The best part was that in this quiet cove, we felt like we had it all to ourselves and floated blissfully during the day. I could go on and on! The property owner was very communicative and that is very much appreciated. You can’t go wrong with this house.

Almost Perfect

There are so many positive things to say about this vacation home… It was classically remodeled and was decorated with the cutest details here and there. Valerie is a REALLY great host!! She even came to our aid in the rain to help us with the boat ramp access… she was super easy to contact and work with. I thank her and her family for her kindness and generosity with their wonderful lake house. It literally is the perfect lake house … My family tends to be hard to find accommodations for due to some disabilities, and this home provided us a vacation, and for that I am grateful!! I Loved the property, and we were all happy! Things that I would suggest to be “added” would be- A TV in the living room upstairs. And Some “Taller/comfortable”seating. (My elderly dad is really tall and I have a sister with mild disabilities) They weren’t able to make it down to the water or the game room “as easy” to enjoy all the fun… so they got “bored” a bit… but we’re all “Happy” 😉 Again, these are just “suggestions” 🙂 If my family wasn’t so “unique” it would have been PERFECT!! I wish we were able to access the sidewalk down to the water from the front of the house… however, there is a small deck on the side of the screened porch. We made it work though 🙂 But… that is one thing that I was “hoping for” in the rental … Over all I would give the property more than 5 stars if I was able!! If you are looking at this home, you will not be disappointed.
