The perfect Lake Gaston family getaway!

A perfect family retreat tucked away in beautiful Northern Cove! With only a few paddles to get to the main lake, our house is situated perfectly in a quiet, tranquil cove and ready for a memorable family vacation. This is a newer listing and set up based on years of renting other properties. Everything is here to enjoy Lake Gaston to the fullest!

It is just a short, flat, easy walk down to the double boathouse which hosts plenty of shade and sun seating options. All the toys are down by the dock; 2 kayaks, 2 stand up paddleboards, a big foam floating mat, two pedal boats and don’t forget about the custom Tarzan swing to launch off the dock and into the water!! Refrigerator and stereo system are inside the boathouse along with a variety of life jackets, a pull behind tube for the boat and tow ropes. There are tie ups on one side of the dock for your boat.

A fire pit rests in between the tall pines just off the water. Plenty of firewood is available for evening story telling.

Two brand new grills are on the deck just off the kitchen for easy access. A propane grill for every day cooking and a Traeger wood pellet smoker for the more serious outdoor chef. Plenty of propane and pellets are on site!

A massive screened in porch gives a quiet lake view. The 4 hanging chairs are a comfy treat! Corn hole boards and bags are hanging up.

Plenty of eating locations are available whether it be on the dock, the screened in porch, the back deck, the 12 seater dining room table or the lake view breakfast nook. Food lion and a variety of restaurants and food trucks are all within a 5 minute drive. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the supplies to bring a feast together. Coffee makers, air fryer, crock pot, blender, waffle maker, s’more sticks, measuring cups, meat thermometer, cheese grater, it is all in there!

The master suite is on the main floor with a king bed and ensuite full bathroom. Another full bathroom is just off the kitchen and dining room. Upstairs hosts three separate rooms sharing two full bathrooms. At the top of the stairs there is a landing room with a twin trundle bed. This is a great space for children that want to be closer to their parents and we do not count this as an official bedroom. Walking through this room you pass a full bathroom with a classic stone chimney. The far room has a queen size bed and large screen TV. The third, lake view room also has a queen bed with a half bath connected. A private room connected to this third bedroom looks over the lake with a craw foot tub/shower and yet another single bed with a trundle. The basement is set up as a bunk room and has two, twin over twin bunks and one twin over full bunk. There are plenty of games, toys and a TV in the basement. All of these rooms can be closed off individually with doors.

The garage is set up for fun! A pool/air hockey combo table is alongside a beautiful Stiga ping pong table. A 50 inch tv is ready for your gaming system from home. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ms. Pacman arcade games are primed to bring back childhood memories. Two bikes (one adult, one kid) are available for a pedal up the road.

The living room hosts quaint Northern Cove views from the super comfortable leather sectional. A new 75” Roku TV is ready to sign into whatever app you want for evening movie watching. A wireless mesh network is setup producing speeds over 220 mb’s all the way down to the dock without issue. An office space is right around the corner from the living room and can be sectioned off with doors.

We have a pack ‘n play crib available (sheets included), a toddler bed, and one booster seat that straps onto a chair. Full size washer and dryer are in the closet off the master suite.

Only 5 minutes from Food lion, the dollar store and the ABC store. Public boat ramp also only minutes away.

Please no smoking in the house or on the screened in porch. Sorry no pets. Lake Gaston Dog Boarding is about 20 minutes away if you wanted to keep your buddy local for visits. https://lkgdogboarding.com/

Check in is at 4:00 pm and check out is at 10:00 am. June through August we offer a 6 night minimum starting on Sunday’s.

Fantastic family getaway
The property is hands down one of the best properties I have stayed in. It is perfect for families, very clean, so much space and a ton of fun things to do in the lake! The owner was fantastic- great communication and a very easy check in/check out process.

Family Reunion
This was a great house for us (4 adults and 3 kids). The layout is a bit quirky, but it has EVERYTHING that you could want - great kitchen, multiple TVs, a game room, a dock with boats (and potential boat rentals), comfortable beds, and an attentive owner. We will be back.

Excellent Getaway
We had a great time! The house was very clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The lake was a lot of fun and being able to rent the Pontoon Boat was a big plus. Chris was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We hope to rent this property again very soon.

great house on the water
The layout of the house was quirky but worked well for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. Very comfortable and welcoming. Super clean. Linens provided. Nice set up for watching march madness basketball on big screen tv. Kitchen very well equipped. Nice to be able to rent pontoon boat directly from owner and avoid the marina. Owner very responsive and welcoming. Wonderful spring break getaway!

Family lake house trip
The stay was great. The bedrooms and bathrooms were set up perfectly for 4 separate families to stay in! The screened in porch was great to contain the little rascals running around. The game was was a great addition and the option to rent jet skis and a pontoon boat was on point. Chris, the owner, answers all our needs very promptly ! No compliants :)

Comfortable and easy
We have a group of 3 families, 13 people aged 8-50, who spend every memorial day weekend at lake gaston. This house has been one of our absolute favorites. It is extremely clean, very homey and comfortable, and has everything we needed. Plenty of fun activies for kids, teens, and adults and places to relax as well. Having the boat and seadoos right there and available to rent was a huge bonus and made the weekend that much more fun plus it was much easier then driving over to a rental company. Chris was fantastic to work with as well, he explained everything clearly and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Already looking forward to our trip next year.

Great family vacation
My kids said they wish they could’ve stayed another week. The house was very clean. Comfortable beds. Kitchen was stocked well to cook family meals, the extra fridge in the garage came in handy. Grill worked great. The boat dock was a highlight. My family laid out, played in the water, and fished everyday. We loved the paddle boats, kayaks, and paddle boards. We also enjoyed the seadoos and boat. Everyone loved tubing on the boat. This was a wonderful family trip. Chris was very responsive and answered all of our questions. Very easy to work with.

Excellent house, excellent host!
This property offered something for everyone. Our group was age 17- 54 and there was never a down moment. Super clean house, plenty of sleeping spaces and entertainment space. Well stocked kitchen for preparing meals. Plenty of tables for gathering. There is a huge game room, large dining room, large living room and indoor and outdoor porch space. The screened in porch is amazing. The water toys are in great condition and the dock area is spacious for relaxing and playing. Perfect cove for swimming, using the paddle boards and kayaks. Chris was super responsive to every question we had before and after the reservation and during our stay. Great host-definitely recommend reserving with out hesitation or worry. Thank you for a wonderful week at the lake!

Incredibly relaxing
My family had a great time at this lake house! Definitely the best rental we’ve tried so far. Everything was provided- from toilet paper to bed sheets. All we needed to purchase was food from the grocery store 5 minutes away. Lots of options of where to sleep and all were comfortable. Most of our time was spent in the lake or on the dock. They have kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats, splash pad, floats, life jackets and even some water shoes (the bottom of the lake is quite squishy). When inside, we spent a lot of time on the swings in the screened in porch. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the gadgets/utensils we needed. The only thing I can think of that could have been helpful would be dressers to store your clothes. I think the only room that had a dresser was the master bedroom. A couple rooms had closets but I like to be able to unpack my suitcase when I go somewhere and not all my clothes can be hung easily. No biggie though. All together we had a wonderfully relaxing trip and would definitely recommend staying here!

Lots of little touches
We loved our stay. And appreciated the little things that made everything easier and more enjoyable - linens were provided and beds were made, kitchen was well-stocked, lots of tvs that were easy to use, many life jackets in a variety of sizes, firewood and pellets for the smoker available, super simple check out, so many games and puzzles. Chris was so friendly and very responsive.

An amazing place!
This was the best vacation property we've ever rented. The home was very clean, spacious and exceptionally well equipped with everything from kids toys/games/books to basic toiletries and laundry and kitchen essentials. Beautiful location on a quiet cove with calm water. Very shallow at the edge, perfect for kids (suggest bringing water shoes). We enjoyed using the kayaks, stand up paddle boards and pedal boats. We also loved renting the boat and taking the kids tubing. The owner Chris was very attentive and responded right away to all messages. We're hoping to return another year!

Perfect House and Location for Families!
Our long holiday weekend stay with family and friends was wonderful! The house had a great layout for our group and even better location on the lake. We have a personal boat at the lake that broke day 2 of our visit. Chris was very quick to respond to messages and renting the tritoon for the remainder of our time there was a breeze. We look forward to coming back next year.
