Great house for a large family gathering. There were a few issues but hosts were extremely responsive. Hopefully they'll remedy the minor ongoing problems like a bad toilet, nonworking lights in down to dock etc. but they really didn't diminish from our stay. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and also for the group to gather for meals, etc. The basement bedroom door has a window in it which is a little weird. We would definitely rent from them again.

Our group had a wonderful stay at Jon and Ashley’s beautiful lake house. It is perfectly situated on a quiet cove, excellent for swimming and paddle boarding. The house easily accommodated our large group, with great indoor and outdoor common space for group meals and activities. The bedrooms were great as well, and the kids in our group loved having the bunk room to themselves. Our hosts were very communicative and easy to get ahold of as necessary, and answered our few questions very quickly. We would absolutely stay in this property again, and highly recommend it to others, especially family/friend groups looking for a place to all be together.

The house was terrific and the owners went out of their way to be helpful. We had one problem with the lights in the house, minor, but the property manager never got back to us. The owners stepped up and got involved. They also were extremely kind and let us use equipment we had not contracted for. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could possibly want. Some previous guests had returned dirty pans to the drawers which was annoying. Our family of 10 enjoyed the house immensely.

Our family had a Great stay. The house is beautiful and extremely comfortable. The weather wasn’t great but we still had a great time. Kayaking, paddle boarding & swimming in the lake, fireside dancing with s’mores and hot tub.
We visited a nearby winery and breweries.
Jonathan was extremely friendly and accommodating when our family dynamics had changed since our booking.
I highly recommend Harpers Hideaway for family or friend get togethers. Our families traveled from 6 different states and all agreed it was worth the trip. If we decide to vacation at Lake Gaston again this is where we will stay!!

The experience me and my family had in this gorgeous home on the lake was "Epic"!!! The memories we made will last a lifetime. My kids are already asking to comeback and I think this is something we will have to continue doing every year.
Overall Grade: A++++++ !

A group of 4 families (14 people) enjoyed a great week on Lake Gaston. The location was convenient, close to the neighborhood boat ramp, and the house had everything you needed to have a relaxing time for kids and adults. The house is large with good sized bedrooms and plenty of space for a large group. Everything was exactly as advertised including some extra touches like a dedicated ice maker, Keurig, new outdoor grill, various life jackets, paddle boards, etc. The only hiccup was an AC issue. But the hosts were very responsive and contacted HVAC. The problem was fixed in less than 24 hrs and the hosts were very apologetic and even refunded our cleaning fee as a courtesy. We recommend Harper’s Hideaway and would come back again without a doubt!

What a lovely home! Everything we could ever want was included from blender, crockpot to even an air fryer! We paddle boarded and tubed and played games, it’s all there! Jon responded quickly to any issues and we were very satisfied. Great spot for a large group!

From the first email to the last Jonathan and Ashley were wonderful! We enjoyed our stay and made so many wonderful family memories together! The house was perfect and had everything anyone could want! My granddaughters had a ball paddle boarding and swimming in the lake. We never had to worry about boat traffic being in an inlet! The neighbors were friendly. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked a lot!! Clean as whistle! Beautiful views! Absolutely wonderful!! Thank you Jonathan and Ashley!

The location of this property on the lake was excellent! The cove was perfect for young swimmers and boat access. The interior was spacious with a variety of entertainment options. We will definitely consider this home for future vacays, we’ll just plan to stay longer!

We had 4 families with plenty of space for the adults and teenagers, the property is gorgeous and the lake did not disappoint. Jon and Ashley were very accommodating, and Sara, the local host was very quick to answer questions. I look forward to coming back in the future, and would highly recommend this property.

We had an awesome stay at Jon and Ashleys beautiful property. Starting with a very swift check in all the way to the end they were very attentive and were on top of it helping where they could. The property itself is gorgeous and has lots to offer. For us it meant a lot coming back from work, finding a very quiet and idyllic place to recharge our inner batteries for being fully focused the next day. Everything is sparkling clean, you find what you need and no wishes were left unsatisfied.
I can only recommend anyone who is considering this property for a stay, to rest assured they will encounter an amazing time of full relaxation if for vacation, a job in the area or any reason I haven't mentioned.
Thumbs-up to Jon and Ashley, I/we appreciate Everything..!

We had a great time - this property was a good choice. Nice neighborhood, great location on the lake, home was clean and comfortable, owners were helpful and communicative, we had a great time. Personally I had not been out since lockdown, we were hoping for a clean comfy place to get a chance of pace - it was a great choice.

A absolutely beautiful home with very wonder owners !! The pictures to not do the property justice and there is nothing that you could have wanted or asked for that was not there !! To include a delicious bottle of wine from the owners as a very thoughtful welcome . As a family we rent a home every summer and this was my families favorite. Our only complaint was we didn’t stay longer

Harper’s hideaway was an absolute blast. The house was very well equipped with everything from bug spray to dish soap. The linens and House were very clean. A bonus was two paddleboard’s and a fun float.

Beautiful Private Lake House
I can’t say enough about this property! It is absolutely perfect! Squeaky clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked. Beds are comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. It is positioned in a quiet cove, which was perfect for allowing the kids to paddle board, kayak, and swim while we sunbathed on the dock without having to worry about lake traffic. The owners were generous to share their lake toys (paddle boards. floats, etc) and quick with communication. The kids were busy from dusk til dawn. My teen daughter even commented that she had only spent 9 minutes on her phone one day! We are planning to return next year.
