Vacation Rental Home Lake Gaston

Welcome to our lakefront retreat! With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and space for 14 guests, plus a pull-out sofa, it’s perfect for families or groups. Enjoy stunning lake views from the full boat house. Work with a view from our desk with high-speed internet. Grill, boat, fish, kayak, or just relax by the water. Don’t miss the unforgettable sunsets at Lake Gaston!

Imagine a getaway or vacation at this beautiful lakeside home on the clear, beautiful waters in the highly desired NE Quad of Lake Gaston. Just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and other amenities! Or by water, enjoy the short 15 min trip over to the Eaton Ferry bridge area with several fun places to visit, including restaurants or marinas. Stop in and grab a bite or enjoy a beverage.
The views from the home are spectacular and hence the name: Awesome Sunsets .The home boasts 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, which include: 1 king, 3 queens, and a bunkroom. On the main level, the updated kitchen, sunroom with office area, dining area, and family room give you ample areas to get together or to stretch out. As you wander outside, the home features a full home length new deck with lighting for your family enjoyment. There is also a grill area and covered seating area to enjoy the breeze but get out of the sun. As you migrate downstairs, you find a second kitchen area, a family room, and a new game room with a pool table and classic full-size arcade game. I sense a late night Ms. Pacman tournament in your future!

Whether you’re walking the steps from the deck, or leaving from the walkout lower level, the path to the lake and boathouse features night lighting and multiple sitting areas/ swings as well as two separate fire pit areas to make s’mores and memories.

This property boasts a private oversized boathouse that includes a wet bar area with a refrigerator and TV, a large sundeck, multiple covered sitting areas, and a packed storage area full of water inflatables, life jackets, paddles, fishing equipment and much more- all that the owner leaves available for use. Not to mention the kayaks and paddle board just sitting here waiting to get wet. Just remind us so we make sure they are empty for you. If you’re bringing a pontoon boat or additional items, the boathouse has integrated cleats and a nice area to the side to easily tie off your items. Don’t worry about water depth either as the shoreline drops pretty quickly to 6+ feet at the deep edge of the boathouse! A great area for tons of family water fun.

This house is always one of the most popular on Lake Gaston.
