Beautiful Deep Water - Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Boathouse on Lake Gaston! Exceptional!

On Lake Time (OLT) is as relaxing and beautiful as it sounds. Located in an upscale, private, gated community this custom-built, 4700 sqft home offers an exceptional value and experience for our guests! Situated in one of the most desirable areas of Lake Gaston, our guests enjoy access to a deep water cove that provides immediate access to all the fun and entertainment that the main lake has to offer. A quick boat ride to the Shady Shack, One Eye Jacks (The Point) and more other lake favorites!

Guests may also bring their own boat and/or jet skis by using the private, secure neighborhood boat ramp with trailer parking located within a few minutes from the property. Don’t have your own boat or jet ski but want to enjoy all the lake has to offer? Don’t worry, Lake Gaston's marinas offers boats of all types and sizes for rent that can be secured to the dock of the newly renovated boathouse.
With our maximum capacity at 20 guests, OLT is a perfect single or multi- family vacation oasis.

With completion of a 2025 interior and exterior refresh, this home is in excellent condition. What makes On Lake Time different? As owners of the property, this isn’t only a luxury vacation rental, it is also our family’s retreat, so it is important that the home stays clean and very well cared for, at all times.

Great Family Vacation

We really enjoy our stay! It was perfect for our large family. Lots of comfortable sleeping spaces. The house had lots to offer and was in a safe gated community. We really enjoyed the lake! The owners were super helpful and very fast with responses. It is a bit of a drive to the local Walmart (around 25 minutes) but there was a dollar general really close by. Overall, it was a great relaxing family vacation that helps you get away from it all!

The beautiful setting and comfortable home added to the wonderful time we all had. Our family called it a "special retreat" and "like a vacation" and the "best VRBO we have stayed in"!

Wonderful Family Week celebration

Beautiful lakeside home! We had up to 16 adults and everyone fit comfortably. We had so much fun fishing, kayaking, playing pool and ping pong, relaxing in the hot tub and listening to music on the sound system. We only left once for a dinner out-we spent a lot of time cooking in the gourmet kitchen. The house was well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, etc. When we needed to ask the host a question, he answered right away. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect for the family

We had a mixed age group with us on this vacation. From 75 down to 2 and everywhere in between. There was plenty to do for all ages provided inside but being in the water, on the dock, hot tub, or deck is where we spent 99% of our time if not cooking and eating. There was a lot of wonderful memories made by all. The house, dock, and everything encompassed is very nice, clean, working, and very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this to anyone and if we come back to Gaston we’ll book here again.

Wonderful family vacation spot

We had a wonderful time at On the Lake for our family reunion. The house is gorgeous and lake access wonderful. The kids had a wonderful time jumping off the dock and using the rope swing. We rented five homes in the area and although we knew this going in it was very hard to navigate between houses other than by boat. Which was a bit limiting for us for those with small children and older adults. It also limited late night visiting between houses for the teens. Just something to be aware of if you’re renting more than one house in the area for a family reunion. Other than that, it was a beautiful spot and Lake Gaston is very lovely.

Large Lake House with a Great Dock!

There were 13 of us staying at the house and you would have never known cause the house is so large and there are bedrooms & spaces for everyone! The best bedroom has to be the kids room over the garage… it can probably sleep 10 kids! We enjoyed the hot tub, the dock, the rope swing, the floating pad, the pool table, the ping pong table, and of course swimming and tubing in the lake! There are many areas in the house so everyone can spread out. The extra fridge in the garage is a nice bonus and we also liked the ice maker in the downstairs bar area. The beds were all comfortable and the upgrades and decor in the house are all very nice. The owners were very responsive to questions and any time there was an issue they were quick to fix it and make sure everything was taken care of for us during our stay. Would recommend this lake house to anyone who is planning to visit Lake Gaston. Thanks for opening up your home to us!

Perfect lake house

If everyone wants their own private bathroom, this is a great pick. High-end furnishings, open kitchen and four different full size dining tables in various area give you lots of options. We brought games, but they also had a nice ping pong table and pool table. (Don’t bring games the require a flat lawn, the whole property is on a hill.) One of our cars is electric, and they had an charger for it. The kayaks were fancy Hobies. There was room at the dock for us to keep a boat we rented from a nearby marina and the fishing and swimming was good. Groceries and beer are a pretty decent drive, so bring lots. There are enough fridges to hold everything, plus there’s an ice machine.
