Grand Porch

We were looking for a place with beautiful surroundings and a quiet place to chill. And this home fit the bill perfectly. Love the porch. Only suggestion would be to put another gate on the side stairs to keep fur babies on the porch. Thank your for sharing your little slice of heaven!

Though we are not boaters, we wanted a place where we could catch up with each other and this was the perfect place. Plenty of outdoor space for yard games and sitting around the fire. We had a great time.

Good place for family

The property has 3 good sized bedrooms with a 4th bed in a separate room. Great for accommodating a lot of people. Having a gas fireplace and wood fireplace is a bonus. Decent fishing off the dock... But shallow, but still hit lots of catfish and bass. Note: this property is under a small bridge from the main body, so if you rent a larger boat like a pontoon, getting it under the bridge may be difficult

Beautiful Lake House Memories

This home located on a lake in Virginia was so beautiful and allowed my 85 year old mother and 5 other family members to have a wonderful time with my Uncle. It is just as described in their posting and so well maintained! The area and neighborhood is safe and beautiful yard right on the lake inlet. Very comfortable furnishings and all the items included for a wonderful place to make long lasting memories!

Great long Labor Day weekend

My family and I had an excellent long Labor Day weekend here. The house was just as the pictures show. It was very clean and kitchen had all of the items you need. The covered porch is fantastic for the family to gather and the propane fire pit was a huge hit with all! I was a bit concerned with the shallow water under the covered dock, but my 19ft Sea Ray Bow Rider fit right in with no issues. The bridge to the main lake is a very tight fit, but with bumpers on both sides of your boat and a slow and steady pass it worked out OK. It is also very nice to be so close to the Marina for launching, fuel, and ice. Our Host Lisa was very nice to work with and communicated with me when needed before & after our stay. This is a great place and we had a great first trip to Lake Gaston!

Perfect Getaway

My husband, kids & fur babies thourghly enjoyed our stay here. We actually booked it twice this summer! The house description was accurate & the boat launch was right down the road. Having a covered boat ramp in the back yard made for easy boat rides. We will be back!

Great 4th of July stay

We had a great time at your property. I booked this very last minute and Lisa accommodated our every request. Being pet friendly was a huge plus and with dock access I was able to bring the boat and watch the fireworks from the water. I'll book again!

Great place and on the water

Nice size place and clean. A great big porch to enjoy coffee in the morning. Brought our boat and kept it in the covered boat dock. Just walk down the sidewalk and get on your boat. Two minute ride to get gas for the boat. Its centrally located to everything the lake has to offer. We were allowed to bring our dogs, which is a plus. Has washer and dryer as well as everything you need in the kitchen. It is exactly as it is pictured. I would absolutely recommend and we will be back again. Jim & Jen

Perfect for our needs!

House was perfect for a stay with my 86y/o mom with master bathroom big enough for walker. Outside porch with fan perfect for breakfast and dinner. Pottery & other cool decorations used to decorate were beautiful and added a very upscale touch. Owners obviously did a lot to upgrade outside. As described and emphasized in correspondence with owner dock does not allow access to water unless you have a boat. We had other relatives close by whose rental had an amazing dock with swimming and kayak access so this was not important to us. We would definitely return.

Nice location

The dock area was very shallow for our 21 foot inboard SeaRay. The entire house smells musty/ wet basement smell that was significant. The outside covered porch was very nice. This is a three bedroom house/ the twin bed is in the mud room/entrance and is not a bedroom. Kitchen is well stocked.

Recommend... but with a boat!

Our family enjoyed our stay in Lisa's house at Lake Gaston. Lisa was very attentive to our communications both before and during our stay. It may be a modular house, but it has some nice additions and updates like the large screened in porch and master bath. Our only regret is we didn't appreciate better how difficult it would be to access the lake from the the property. We ended up driving a half hour to a public access area to enjoy and swim in the lake because we were only able to rent a boat for one day. It was nice having the canoe and kayaks, but we found getting in and out of them at the dock quite challenging. The photos made it seem like there was some shoreline for this, but there wasn't. Nevertheless, we had an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We sat by the fire pits, enjoyed wine and cheese at Rosemount, played in the lovely yard, and soaked up some sunshine. Will likely return, but definitely recommend bringing your boat or finding a multi-day rental.

Overall property was terrific. Some dust/spider webs when we got there. Sheets were clean and ready to put on the beds we used. Towels clean and available. Fire pits ready to use. Only thing I found needing was a kitchen hand mixer for mashing potatoes/brownie batter. If ever back in area will use again.

We had a lovely time. The rental was exactly as promised, a very good value. Having a boat dock so we could have a boat rental all week was as fun as we hoped! The heads up on the narrow bridge was appreciated :) The back porch and fire pit were wonderful gathering spaces for our family’s low country boil and s’mores.

You can tell that the owners have put in a lot of effort to maintain the landscaping. The lot was beautiful and the porch chairs were very comfy. My only concern was the musty smell inside. Maybe we were the first to use the property this year. The owners were friendly and very helpful.
