Peaceful Family Week

The house is in a great location with everything you need to relax and unwind. We had three generations and all of us had the best time. There was plenty of room and the house was very well kept. There are puzzles and board games and a huge yard with a dock. The owners were so kind through the entire process.

Good size house, quiet area, great screened porch, powerful AC, need a boat if staying here

Quaint house on a shared gravel drive about 25 min from town, 5 min from a dollar general. Large screened porch was peaceful. AC will freeze you out which is great in summer. Spacious living area. Dock is fun for fishing but water is only a few feet deep at deepest point so couldn’t catch anything bigger than your hand and kids didn’t want to get in the swampy water to swim which was disappointing. There are 3 kayaks, but they were inundated with spiders and sit inside type rather than sit on top which made the spider situation more sketchy and also could not get out of them once in deeper water to swim. The back side of the kayak rack had poison ivy so couldn’t even get to that one. There is extensive poison ivy lining the woods of the front and back yards, so beware if you bring a dog and try to keep your kids away from the trees. I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you are brining a boat, unless staying at the house is your thing. We had planned to rent the pontoon boat at the house but the owner pulled it out of the water the day before our arrival despite pleas not to do so. The master bath/closet has moderate mold odor so if you are sensitive, have asthma, etc this could be a concern. You are expected to bring your own sheets and pillow cases, which is unusual and I missed in the details. If you use theirs, you have to wash them and repackage them before you check out or it is 25 fee per bed, again unusual. It’s a nice place but was a bit of a let down for us.
Kayaks need some cleaning out/bravery before getting in

Not a good experience

The home was clean, and the neighbors sharing the driveway were kind—but that’s where the positives end.On June 11, after the refund window had closed, I was sent a 12-page document filled with restrictive rules and details that should have been in the original listing—most importantly, that the dock is shared. Had that been disclosed upfront, I would have chosen a different property. Guests are also expected to take the trash bins to the road, which is unreasonable for a vacation rental.Linens were not included, but this was buried in a photo caption and the document—not clearly stated in the main listing.A thunderstorm knocked out power for 17 hours. No flashlight or emergency supplies were available. The owner offered minimal communication and no real assistance beyond telling me to go buy ice and sharing updates from Spectrum. I lost over 200 worth of food purchased for the week. The house was 82 degrees overnight—miserable.After I left the property, I received an accusatory message from the owner blaming my family for ceiling damage that was already present when we arrived. Yes, I should’ve reported it sooner—but to be blamed for what appears to be existing mold or water damage after just six days is absurd.This experience felt like a bait-and-switch followed by poor communication and unfair treatment. I would not stay here again, and I strongly urge future renters to ask for all documentation and rule disclosures before booking.

Spring Break Getaway

We stayed at a VRBO property on Lake Gaston during Spring Break and had a fantastic experience. The home was spotless and well-maintained, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals comfortably. We especially enjoyed having access to the kayaks and paddleboard—they added a fun, relaxing element to our stay. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, providing the perfect setting to unwind and rejuvenate.The host was very informative and responsive, which made our stay even smoother. A special thanks to the kind neighbor who went above and beyond to help my son retrieve his phone from the lake—truly appreciated! We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a serene and welcoming getaway.

As advertised

Great peaceful property exactly as listed. Bernie was a great communicator and the neighbors were super friendly. We used the kayaks and paddleboard daily. Jimmies Creek is a lower traffic area which works well for the kayak and SUP. Highly recommended.

Relaxing family getaway

Had an intergenerational week-long family getaway on the lake. Love lake Gaston, the kayaks and paddle board were great. We rented a boat for a day and had no problems docking it. We had a lot of rain one day and the puzzles and other games in the house kept us entertained. The best part was the owner's responsiveness! We had lots of questions and added the boat late and she was so quick to answer and very accomodating.

Great Time

If you are looking for a quiet time, Lake Gaston is the place! Such a beautiful, peaceful area. This home is a great place to stay and make your home base. Lots of amenities provided, sits in a beautiful cove, and an amazing screened in porch that we spent lots of time on. Was also a great spot for our dog. Thank you!
