My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful lakefront property. The house was well-stocked with many amenities. We felt very comfortable here.
The sunrises were amazing and we loved the wildlife - deer, lots of birds, and early morning otters.
Coffee on the screened porch every morning was the best! We enjoyed taking the kayaks out in the cove, too. We loved a little taste of lake life! We will definitely be back.

We had a lovely relaxing week at this lake house. It was a super quiet lake and neighborhood and the house came with plenty of toys (kayaks, fishing gear, floats, fire pit, pool table goose ball table, exercise equipment, games, books, etc) so everyone could enjoy the fun. Deer brought their babies by every evening to feed and the sunrises were spectacular.

I have been renting from VBRO for years in different locations and this house had EVERYTHING you could ever think of....from beach towels, wine openers, shower supplies to s'more sticks to use. Communication with the owner was phenomenal. My parents, sister and her kids, and my kid and I had a relaxing time.

We loved our relaxing week at this picturesque property. Relaxing mornings taking in the view from the large screened in porch, afternoons of fishing and kayaking, game nights, and family dinners grilling out. Plenty of room for our group of 9.

We enjoyed the house, it was beautiful. The view of the lake was breathtaking and the bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen and pantry was filled with anything we needed to make our stay more enjoyable. I planned to fish while at the house, but fishing from the boat dock was a little difficult for throwing your line. The tv's were not easy to figure out because we were not familiar with ROKU. Overall, we loved the house and did not want to leave the peace and quiet!

Sharon was an amazing host. She provided information about the area and had a very helpful manual with everything you’d need to know about her home. The house was spacious, well-stocked, and right on the lake. My family had a great week. Thanks for the memories!

Lake stay
We had a great time the amenities were great, pool table, corn hole and kayaks and the ease of contacting owners with questions or concerns. The only down side was the limited internet connections but that did not deter a great week

Loved it, very beautiful & peaceful area. Owner very fast to respond to any questions, gave some info on surrounding areas, house was awesome, very spotless inside the outside & screen porch could use a good spray down. But over all would definitely stay there again.. Highly recommend this house.

Incredible views ---lots of windows
Only six of our family made it to our vacation getaway (ages ranging 80s down to 20s) but I assure you there was plenty of room for more. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch and out on the lake in our kayaks but there was a large family room downstairs that I would think would be used by younger families. The views of the lake were the best we've seen. You could literally see the lake from almost every room in the house. We saw deer, herons, osprey and bluebirds daily. The house was also well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. We hope to return for another relaxing getaway in the future. A big thanks to Sharon for answering all of our questions before and during our stay.

The lake house was very clean, and room for all the five kids in the bunk room. They all loved sleeping together. It was very quiet neighborhood and a great yard for the kids to run around in and play games. We had a great time sitting by the fire pit at night, fishing on the dock and cooking food in the well appointed kitchen. I have stayed at many rentals, this is the cleanest place we have ever stayed in, and the kitchen was awesome. I always bring a sharp knife and a few kitchen tools with me when we travel, but didn't need to use them here:) Thanks Sharon, it was awesome.

Amazing Lake Gaston property
My family stayed at this property for Thanksgiving week (Nov 2021). It is an absolutely stunning property. The kitchen is heavily stocked for cooking and entertaining. The property owners are wonderful to communicate with, they communicated everything to us and stayed in touch to make sure we were doing okay.
The home has a wonderful view of Lake Gaston, just off a little cove. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. We rented a boat but the cold weather didn't allow us to take in all the beauty that Lake Gaston has to offer. We did make a day trip over to the Kerr Lake hydroelectric dam and walked the beaches there (highly recommend).
The home has room for adults and kids to spread out in. We enjoyed afternoon fires with marshmallows and evenings playing Foosball, Billards, and watching movies. The basement is a kid friendly layer with double bunk beds and lots of games to entertain.
We are looking forward to renting this property again over the summer to enjoy all the beauty of Lake Gaston.
Thanks Carl and Sharon for a wonderful week!

Relaxing Lake Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Lakeside home. It was very clean and well appointed. The owners have provided many activities for renters. The screen porch provides beauty and peace throughout the day! The owner was very responsive to any questions we had! This is a gem!

We love Lake Gaston and renting with an easy and short access to the dock is exceptional at this home. No big climbs and stairs here. Sharon and Carl offer a lovely and well appointed home. The furniture and beds were quite comfortable and we all loved the diverse set of games including pool, ping-pong, foozball, video games and board games. All 3 kayaks are in great condition and lots of fun. They also provide numerous fishing poles and a well stocked tacklebox. Nice touch! And, while the weather was a bit on the hot side, we all loved relaxing on the big screen porch in the early morning hours and getting ready for the day.
Highly recommended!

Family reunion at Lake Gaston
A family friendly home with lots to keep everyone occupied. The home was comfortable, well equipped and great views. I especially loved having my morning coffee on the screened porch watching the lake, birds and deer. Sharon, our host, was excellent with communications whenever there was a question. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit Lake Gaston.

Three generations stayed together for this vacation. There was plenty of room and lots of activities available at the house. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The screened in porch with ceiling fan was a wonderful place to gather to play cards, games or just enjoy the view of the lake. We had a great vacation!

We had the best week with our Family at this property. The neighbors were so helpful on giving us some info about the Lake and nearest Boat Dock. The game room was wonderful for all of our kids and their friends that we brought with us. We spent every night playing pool with lots of laughs and fun. We woke up every morning and enjoyed the peace and quiet on the screened in porch. We were able to figure out a way to bring our boat to the Dock and enjoy the lake several days. It was also a blessing to have all the Kayaks for us to go out and enjoy the Lake. It was also very nice to not have to take steps down to the water like some other houses on the Lake. We were able to see so much wildlife like the pack of Deer and Baby Fawns that we saw on a daily basis, Blue Herons, Cranes, Fish, Rabbits, Eagles and Hummingbirds. We loved all the windows and the view of the Lake from the living room and decks. The only thing that we would say is that the beds were not much to our liking. They were all too hard for our preference but that is a personal preference for us. This is certainly a wonderful property to stay at for the week and the owner was great in her communications.

Relaxing Lakeside Retreat
Our family of five enjoyed our stay here. We could have easily shared this house with another family. The home is very clean and organized. We loved the screened in 2nd story porch and sitting out here with a cup of coffee in the morning watching the sunrise over the lake while bird watching was so relaxing. Our teenagers had a great time taking out the kayaks, while our younger son enjoyed fishing off the dock. The dock is in a great place for fishing as there are plenty of weeds and grass surrounding it where the fish like to hang but this makes it not very inviting to want to jump in and swim here. It is also located in a tight inlet area so if you are not an experienced boater you might have a little difficulty with a boat. This house is located on a lower lying area of land surrounding the lake so there are not 75 steps/stairs down to reach the dock, in fact there are none from the driveway to the lake just a very slight slope. The house itself does have 3 levels so there are stairs inside. Oh one other thing the house is located off a gravel road. We had family staying about a mile north of us off this same road so we brought our kids scooters all the way from south FL so the kids could ride from one house to the other but the scooters were obviously useless on gravel. The homeowner was very easy to reach and got back to us quickly with any concerns we may have had.
