The private dock is perfect for swimming, fishing, or relaxing by the water (approximate depth at the end of the dock is 4.5 feet). Families can explore the lake together using the 3 complimentary stand-up paddleboards, 2 kayaks, and canoe. End the evening with s’mores around the fire pit under the stars.
Need to get some work done? Choose between the dedicated indoor workspace with a large monitor or take your laptop down to the dock and work waterside. With blazing-fast 1GB Wi-Fi, a smart TV, and soundbar, staying connected has never felt so relaxing.

A few more tid-bits... :)
1.We know what it's like to have dogs that are part of the family, so we welcome well-behaved, fully housebroken dogs (limit 2). All dogs must be supervised at all times or in a crate if home alone. Please respect our home by keeping the dogs off of thefurniture, inside and outside. It is the owner's responsibility to clean up any pet waste.There is a non-refundable pet fee of $250. No cats please.Trained service animals are welcome! Otherwise, we have a strict "no pets" policy. We can help arrange lodging for your pets (as long as they are up to date on shot records which must be provided) at a local boarding facility during your stay, if you'd like; just give us a call...way in advance, as they fill up fast!
2. The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system. This system is a finely balanced biological system. Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper. Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.
3. Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves. Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boats.(make sure to bring your bumpers!).
4. Culverts & Bridges: Be sure to lower your Bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts. Appearances can be deceiving!
5. Security Camera Disclosure: We take your privacy very seriously. However, this home is monitored by exterior security cameras in the following locations:
Camera 1 is on the front of the house overseeing the front door and driveway.
Camera 2 is on the back of the house overseeing the back yard.

Summary: Overall we had a great time as a family. The beds were a bit small for the taller family members, but we got creative and made it work. The property manger came over mid-week to unlock the boat house closet which housed the paddles and extra water craft needs. The newly added game room was a hit and fun for all! The walk to the boat house was easy - we saw several lake house requiring LOTS of stairs, but we had an easier trek to and from the house than most. East check in and easy check out. Rebooking indeed!
