For the past 6 years, my family and I have rented a house on Lake Gaston just about every year for the week of 4th of July. We have yet to find a house that we leave thinking “let’s come back to this house next year”. Until now. Northern Cove Retreat is and has everything we could ever want or need. I have learned a lot from each different rental over the years, every year I add new things to my lake packing list for the next year and was sure this year would be my year for finally thinking of everything. And I did…but so have the owners of this home. They have thought of everything and more and you will be hard pressed to find something you need they don’t have waiting for you there (believe me, I tried. Trying to find something I had that the house didn’t became like a little competition for me during our first few days there, there were times I’d think I’d found the thing they didn’t have that I had - thank goodness for me saving the day - thought to bring only only to discover that, nope, it was already there. Eventually I gave up because the owners/house had clearly thought of literally everything I had and more). From a really well stocked pantry (PAM, cooking and spice cabinet and The check out process was hands down the easiest, most uncomplicated check out process I have ever experienced. It’s almost like the owners have read every negative review of other homes and gone above and beyond to ensure they’re providing an experience that is the exact opposite of those.

Our family of 3 generations enjoyed a week at this great lake house. The home has a unique layout, and a casual lake feel that fit our family group well, with bedrooms and extra sleeping spaces spread out across 3 levels. Plenty of space indoors and out for a large group gathering. Highlights of the home - the many dock amenities for endless fun in the water, the garage game room with many activities, and the pleasant screened porch. The kitchen is well supplied and the house very clean.

Thanks so much to our great host for providing such a wonderful place for our family vacation. The house was very clean and there were lots of water amenities and a plethora of things for the kids and adults to do. We will definitely come back to make more great family memories.
