Peaceful, comfortable...ping pong was fun.

Our two sons, their wives and three very young grandchildren (5, 3 & 6 mos,) were very comfortable because of complete “apartments” upstairs & downstairs. The outside areas gave us plenty of options for socializing, especially the fire pit and the boathouse/dock. We anchored a large floating mat away from the dock, and it became a perfect swimming area for the kids and adults. We also enjoyed the two kayaks to explore the lake. It was ALL LAKE ALL THE TIME!

Loved the home gave us plenty of space for all our family. Easy access to the lake and loved the covered dock for hanging out. Our issue was the driveway. It did not work for us. Too steep and not enough room for parking. Also it would be very helpful to have the house number posted some where. The host was very responsive and very easy to deal with. Thank you for sharing your home with us😊

What a great house right on the water. For 8 adults and a toddler, there was plenty of space to spread and not be on top of each other. The owners, Adam and Ana, have done a terrific job in making the home feel comfy. The house was clean and in good working condition. The dock was a nice size to just hang and having the 2 kayaks was very handy. We loved it so much, already booked to return next year. Dates starting to fill up. Thanks Adam and Ana!!

Adam very hands-on and helpful. Plenty of space. Beautiful location. Our family loved the house. It is remote as others noted.

I wish I could have given the location 4.5 stars instead of 4 since it was only minor and typical issues with the surroundings. The home was terrific and very clean for a place that allows pets. I suffer this issue because my wife has to bring our 7 lb. yorkie mix with the family gatherings. Yes there are some things that are being worked on, but for a seasonal lake house it's kept up very well. The driveway is gravel and a bit steep, so it's probably best to back down since there's very little to no turn around room once you and a second car arrive. You can bury a 3rd car and use 2 easily, when facing out. there is a spot on top for a boat trailer as well. The lake was shallow and very warm in mid July. The water was a little murky. The bottom was more firm out off the end of the dock and a much better swim area. Shopping was an 18 minute drive to a Food Lion in Littleton, NC. The owner I spoke to "Adam" was both friendly and helpful. Overall we had a great stay.

Our group of 13, 3 families, had an absolute blast. 2 kitchens is perfect for storage and cooking. The boat dock was great for playing, floating, etc. I genuinely can’t think of anything I would change or ask for with this house! Owner Adam was great in all aspects of the rental process. Highly recommend!!

What a beautiful home, boat house, screened in deck, and property in general. So many things to talk about: the bedrooms, the two kitchens, the cleanliness of everything. It all compares to a 5 star hotel suite but more than all of that I have to say that one of the best experiences was the flexibilityy, the kindness, the concern and the overall hospitality of the host. Adam dosn't seem like he's even in it for the money but instead for the joy he's able to offer to others by offering his home. Thankyou Adam and I hope your reward is great for the many blessings that come through you and your family.

We had a wonderful family vacation! There was so much space to enjoy. If you needed some quiet or wanted to play a group game, there were always places to go. We loved swimming off the dock, the kayaks and boating. Even though it rained most of the week, we still had fun playing ping pong, games and visiting. The kitchens were very well stocked and the upstairs porch was great to be able to enjoy outside even in the rain. Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!

The place was perfect! We were there for our Grandson's Graduation. With the 2 separate living areas 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs, was very helpful for my husband & I who are much older than the rest. We could stay upstairs and enjoy the peace and quiet and go downstairs and join the family when ready. Location Great, 2 minutes from our grandson's house. Boathouse dock and swimming (or I should say floating) in the lake were very relaxing. Would definitely go back!!

I Highly recommend this lake house for vacationing!

This property is great for larger families/groups especially with the 2 kitchens. The screened in porch is great for morning coffee as is the large deck on the first floor. Gas grill was a nice update since our last visit.

Loved this area of Lake Gaston. First time staying in Bracey and enjoyed it more than the Littleton side.
The dock was great for the kids to jump off and the water wasn't murky, like some other houses we've stayed. The water isn't too deep so no diving! Adults could easily stand a good ways out. The waterways near the house were quiet enough to where the kids could paddle board out quite a ways and we didn't feel they would be run over by boats/jet skis. We really enjoyed the close proximity to the Shady Shack! The kids sang karaoke one night and loved it. We also enjoyed being able to access the park/beach with the water slide and playground.
The only reason for a 4star review is the bedrooms need some serious updates (comforters, mattresses, pillows). The listing does say no linens or towels provided, so we brought our own. I did bring my own pillow, thank goodness.
The kitchen also needs much updating. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason for where anything was placed. The utensils were scattered everywhere. We ruled out the larger pan right away b/c everything stuck to it. Only one small crockpot. No measuring cups that I could find (other than liquid). And the dryer didn't work well.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We loved eating on the porch. Kids loved ping pong. Great location... just needs some finesse!

Week on the lake with family and pets
The house was perfect for our group of 10 adults and 2 dogs. Plenty of space for everyone. The dock has a large covered area perfect relaxing in the shade after a swim. We enjoyed the kayaks and the ping pong table. We had a great week.

Family vacation
I rented this lake house for a family vacation. It included my wife and I as well as my son and daughter’s family. The house had space for all of us to gather as well as space for individuals to do their own thing. The kids really enjoyed jumping off the dock and I introduced three of my grandkids to fishing. Remarkably, every time they threw their line in they got a nibble and often a fish. Even the eight year girl was putting her own worms on her hook. We had a great time.

Perfect house for a family reunion.
This lake house had plenty of room for the family to be together or disappear in other parts of the house if needed. Plenty of room outside on the large deck or down at the boathouse/dock. Spent a lot of time sitting on the dock and hanging in the lake.
The house was very clean with comfortable furniture. We would rent this house again.

Our family had a great time The house was great lots of room for the whole family Adam was very pleasant to deal with.
The ping pong table was a big hit for the everyone The kayaks were definitely a plus. The view from the porch was amazing loved having my morning coffee out there. If I had one suggestion the downstairs kitchen stove could have used some cleaning. I would look forward to going back for another visit. Great experience

Our family had a wonderful time, and the location was quiet and peaceful. I am not wanting to be a downer or *that* person, and I do not like complaining, but there were a few things that were disappointing....we did have a very special time, however, I the uncleanliness of the kitchen cabinets, drawers, and especially the ovens was disturbing. We wanted to store some of our food in the larger lazy Susan corner cabinet in the downstairs kitchen, but I spent good time cleaning onion skins and dirty smudges and grime on that cabinet before I could put any food in it. The corner of the floor there had cobwebs and dirt. Many other drawers had crumbs or splatters (silverware drawer upstairs) and we felt we needed to clean every dish/utensil before using it. The upstairs oven was definitely in need of cleaning. It looks like it had been a while. A light fixture in the downstairs bathroom had bugs and grunge, which we washed when we needed to replace the burned out light bulb. I'm also wondering about the musty odor that hits one when entering the ping pong room. I understand that this is a damp area with the lake and all, but I'm thinking an odor fresh product, a dehumidifier, or some other means could take care of the mustiness. Perhaps it's in the carpet and more challenging to take care of. The sofas in the downstairs sitting area are well worn and could use a coverlet (like the one over an upstairs sofa) or replaced. The owner Adam was very helpful and answered all my questions quickly, and we certainly appreciated the smoothness of checking in. These considerations can perhaps make another family's stay even better! Thank you for allowing us to stay! We did have a wonderful time together!

Six bedrooms and 4 baths were perfect for us. We had 8 adults and 4 children. House was clean and roomy.
Neighbors were friendly and very accommodating. House is on a “tributary “ leading to the lake. About 15 minute boat ride to actual lake but this was great because we were in a quiet and less active location. Plenty of room to water ski and go tubing without the congestion.
We had no problems whatsoever unlike other rentals. This was our 7th
year at Lake Gaston and was trily enjoyable.
