Enjoyed all amenities, location, size of home, and convenience.

So fun. Would rent again

My family rents at LKG yearly and this was our second year at this property. It is extremely family friendly and a nice, quiet neighborhood. The house had everything we needed. We cooked all but a few meals and the kitchen and large eating areas accommodated us and all the kids well. The kids particularly enjoyed the pink pong table area (we had a Dude Perfect competition) and the yard and boat house. We also enjoy the beach area and shallow water for the little ones to swim. Phillip was a great host and when we did have a question he answered quickly! We hope to be able to return next year!

This house is on an amazing piece of property for enjoying the lake! The water depths were great for kids and adults. The kitchen is well stocked and the house felt overall very spacious. Would definitely come back.

It’s an older cottage with a wonderful layout inside and a really nice boat house. For our six couples and a few grandchildren it was perfect. Gentle slope to lake!!! No steps to get there. Would stay again. Bring your own ping pong paddles if planning on playing. The paddles had no rubber on them.

For our family the layout of the house is perfect. The bunk room downstairs was great for the teens and the bunk room upstairs was perfect for our 6 year old. The dock and cove are great also.

Our immediate family of 11 thoroughly enjoyed this spacious home. Would definitely recommend this house to other large families looking to stay on the lake.

The location is great, the views, lake access, grocery stores not too far away and spacious house made for a wonderful trip.

Loved our family vacation at Summer on the Lake. Communicative owner, simple check in and out and fantastic house. No complaints about cleanliness at all. Weve stayed at house before and were impressed with some updates (flooring on many surfaces especially). Dock is fantastic, house is huge... We will be going back

Really nice property. Excellent boat house. Outstanding views of lake from just about every angle in home. WiFi a little spotty. Our teenage grandsons enjoyed ping pong table.

Everything was Great. From the house to the boat docks , beach,and fishing. We already booked it for next year

Home was in a nice neighborhood, great area of the lake, home was clean and organized. Loved everything about the stay. Only downside was the upstairs bedrooms/beds were slightly small for a 6'6" man as myself and my dad, but overall we thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would return again. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice quiet family vacation on one of the best lakes in the state.

This house was really great for our large family. The bedrooms are spaced apart allowing for privacy and having six bathrooms was nice. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking and having the large pantry was great for holding our food. It was also helpful having two refrigerators. However, when we arrived, the house had not yet been cleaned for us. We notified the manager and he resolved the problem satisfactorily. The dock was spacious and offered great opportunity for boating & swimming as well as relaxing on the chairs there. The beach area was excellent for the younger children who loved playing in the sand and being able to walk right into the shallow water of the lake. We did have several sightings of a small snake in the area but with some research online, it was decided he was non-venomous, just curious. The location on the lake was excellent in our opinion because we enjoy waterskiing on calm water and the cove is just the right size for a nice ski ride up to the island and back. Two of the children learned how to ski this year and it was wonderful being able to watch their success right from the dock! We have already booked to return next year for another week of fun and family time!

This property was everything we were hoping it would be! Our group really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and welcoming. We will definitely stay here in the future.

Our whole family stayed at this same property 3 years ago and loved the area. This part of the lake is calm most days so we did a lot on the water with a pontoon and 2 jet skis. The beach area out front is great for the littles. We took our own splash island floating mat and anchored that off the dock (water is about 5' deep there) and the kids spent most of the day on that or jumping off the dock. We were worried about some of the recent reviews saying the house was not clean. I had reached out to the property owner/manager a month or so before arriving and they said they had taken steps to correct that. We were very happy with how clean it was on arrival so I would ignore some of the earlier 2021 reviews. The only flaws were minor and included the internet being spotty and quickly overloaded without the ability to stream reliably, but you probably need to look past that if going to the lake - though it would be nice to be able to stream a little bit during the evenings when you're wiped out. Some of the deck furniture chairs, cushions, and cookie sheets could use a refresh or updating. The main floor bathrooms have sort of a septic smell when we first got there but that seemed to diminish after using - I remember that same issue 3 years ago so wondering if there's something that can be done to fix longterm? All in all, it was a great vacation and we'll rent this place again in the future.

We loved the location and dock. The house and furniture is in need of updates.

This is our 2nd time staying at this home. We love the location and the layout of this home. So perfect for a family with a variety of ages. We were a little nervous after reading some of the reviews about the cleanliness and were delighted that it was very clean even though 20 min. late getting in. Such a beautiful home and dock. Will defiantly be back.

We have a week at Lake Gaston annually with my children and grandchildren. This year since one of my sons could not join us, we invited my parents too. So we had 80 somethings along with 50/60 somethings, 20 somethings and kids ages 1-14. The house was great for all. It is particularly kid friendly because the deck has a gate that locks by the stairs so the babies could play on the deck area. The swim area is shallow for quite a ways out so the toddlers could putter around in the water with adults watching from the edge or they could walk off the steps on the dock and still stand up. The dining room table is huge and the seats are covered with plastic (not the uncomfortable kind but the cleanable kind) as is the table. The kids could color, play games, eat there without worry of messing up the table! The furniture was comfortable and cozy and there were three sitting areas if we needed to split up. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table and basketball goal. The only negative with the outdoors is there are holes in the yard but we put some of the small chairs over them to keep people from stepping in them. There were walking and biking trails nearby so we enjoyed nature too. The fact that each family could have their own corner of the house with their own bathroom was a big plus. Fishing was good off the pier for the kids and my husband and sons. The beds were very comfortable and we didn't mind bringing our own sheets (comforters and pillows were provided.) We were close to both Piggly Wiggly and Food Lion for shopping and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved the pantry area with lots of space for our food because we cooked most of our meals. The covered porch was also a favorite spot for my parents who could watch the kids play and watch them jet ski and tube from there too. It was a great place for morning coffee. My entire family said this was the best house we have rented. We enjoyed being on the cove too as it is wide enough to have space to boat and jet ski. Phillip is a great host and answered our questions right away. We hope to be able to come back in the future!

We enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back.

First the positives: The house and property setting are beautiful with wonderful views of the cove. The property has a great little beach area and dock for swimming and water activities. The house has a wonderful kitchen and dining area that overlooks the lake. The beds are very comfortable. The layout was perfect for our large family. The negatives: Despite reassurances by the premier host that previous cleanliness complaints we saw on reviews from other guests had been addressed and arriving as the four-person cleaning crew was just leaving, we found that the house was filthy. Six of us spent the first three hours there cleaning. The bathrooms were dirty. The entire week we were there, there was a stench smell in one of the bathrooms like something dead was in the wall. The counter surfaces in the kitchen were grossly sticky. It was very apparent the floors throughout had not been mopped. We found large chunks of old food underneath the kitchen table. Huge spider webs that had obviously been there a long time covered a good portion of the large kitchen windows that looked out to the lake. The first morning after our arrival some of us got up as dawn approached. As we were sitting in the living room looking out at the lake we noticed a lot of bat activity. We observed more closely to discover that dozens of bats were roosting in the attic above the back deck. We noticed bat feces was accumulating on the deck directly under the attic louvre where the sliding door opens to enter the house. We made it our chore to wash the deck every morning to avoid tracking bat guano into the house and elsewhere. The next evening, not too long after sunset, my son counted 70 bats in a 15-minute period leaving the attic for their nightly forage. Bats roosting in an attic and the guano accumulation that is tracked into the house is an absolute health issue that needs to be addressed.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. We could be from the kitchen to fishing on the dock in 30 seconds. However, the kitchen and pantry were not very clean when we arrived, and there was a very bad smell in the upstairs bathroom (the one with the little door in the wall) that made it seem like there was a dead animal in the wall.

The location and home were great for our 8 adults and 2 children (4&6). Plenty of living room seating. A kitchen table big enough for everyone to sit. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware needs. Also plenty of bed/room options. The beach and shallow cove were perfect for the kiddos. The kayaks were utilized daily, thank you. And the dock set-up with table and chairs was very much enjoyed. The back porch and firepit was great with seating as well. The owners were very responsive and accommodating! We had a great family vacation, lots of wonderful memories made.

Great house and location. Cleaners need to dust better. Our family had a wonderful time.
