Since Covid when beaches closed by family switched beach trips to staying at the lake. With three active boys 5-14 it’s important to have lots to do but be able to relax at the same time. Lake Gaston is by far the best lake I have stayed at and this home was perfect. The house was so clean, nicely furnished, supplies many basic items such as linens and bath towels. I love to cook and use vacations to try out new recipes and cook for friends and family. However sometimes rentals do not have adequate kitchen tools, not this home. The kitchen was well stocked with pots pans, utensils, and tableware. We had 2 family’s stay and the space was set up perfectly to separate kids from adults in the evenings. The owner was so wonderful to communicate with before, during, and after. Now back to the lake which we all know is the best part! The yard had an easy brick path from the house to the pier/boathouse. The boathouse has a mini fridge which got lots of use. The pier was large enough for all to spend time together. The water was calm and perfect for small children swimming but was deep enough for the teens to have fun too. The water is so clean, at the pier which I would say is about 5 feet you could see your feet which standing in the water. If you have come across this lake and house, look no further and just book it! My family will definitely be passing by other lakes to stay here again.
