We have a group of 3 families, 13 people aged 8-50, who spend every memorial day weekend at lake gaston. This house has been one of our absolute favorites. It is extremely clean, very homey and comfortable, and has everything we needed. Plenty of fun activies for kids, teens, and adults and places to relax as well. Having the boat and seadoos right there and available to rent was a huge bonus and made the weekend that much more fun plus it was much easier then driving over to a rental company. Chris was fantastic to work with as well, he explained everything clearly and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Already looking forward to our trip next year.

We had a great time! The house was very clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The lake was a lot of fun and being able to rent the Pontoon Boat was a big plus. Chris was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We hope to rent this property again very soon.

All the amenities for a nice stay and tesponsive owner

This house has everything you could ever want with plenty of space, games galore, and a beautiful dock with all the water toys and accessories you need. The host was wonderful and quick with his responses. I highly recommend this property for your next stay!

House was very clean and well organized. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of space for our gathering. The pool table and ping pong table were a hit. The young adults enjoyed all of the water toys provided. Chris was super responsive and a perfect host. Would definitely rent this house again and highly recommend to others.

Our long holiday weekend stay with family and friends was wonderful! The house had a great layout for our group and even better location on the lake. We have a personal boat at the lake that broke day 2 of our visit. Chris was very quick to respond to messages and renting the tritoon for the remainder of our time there was a breeze. We look forward to coming back next year.

Pleasant

This house was perfect for my family. It had all the toys and space for the gang! We so enjoyed every minute and will return next year.

This house is great. The owner was excellent - great communication and quick to respond. Being able to rent the owner’s boat with tube and 2 seadoos was amazing. Couldn’t have been easier. There’s also a lake mat, paddle boats, and Tarzan swing. My kids and I were in heaven.

Beautiful house, well appointed, with great kitchen. Questions were answered quickly and completely by the owner.

We had a great time at the lake house! We had family visiting from Illinios and New York and the house had everything we needed. The whole family thought the house was lovely and the cove was nice and private. I loved not having to bring all the supplies such as hand soaps, dish soap and such. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and cooking needs. We cooked every meal except 1 while we were there. Thank you Harriman Family!

Property was a gem, with everything you could ask for in a lake house. We never once turned on a computer or the TV because there was so much we could do otherwise. The house was fully stocked with towels, sheets, paper towels, toilet paper, and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. Bonuses in my opinion were plentiful: two grills, one of them being a Traeger pellet grill and I used it to smoke a pork butt, Pool table that converts to air hockey, who doesn't love air hockey, and the ping pong table got a workout. My 6 year old niece LOVED the hammock swings on the patio, and you can even rent a boat and jet ski's right there at your own dock. Loved our stay, Chris was great when I had questions. We would love to come back again and again. If you choose to stay here, you will not be disappointed.

The house was perfect for our family; grandchildren 10-18! It was clean, stocked with appliances, and all kitchen equipment! It was the little touches, such as pretty throw rugs, hand soaps, device outlets, the swing chairs- so many little things that made the house homey. The dock was incredibly well stocked! The hospitality was genuine and appreciated. Ready to go back!!

This house is in a great location on a nice and quiet cove. It has every lake accessory you can think of. We brought our own boat and there was no problem with docking. The house itself was plenty big and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need from laundry detergent to toiletries in all of the bathrooms. We had three different families as well as a 3 year old and we had a great time. We had a couple rainy evenings and all the games in the garage along with the smart tv was nice to have. The swings in the screened in porch was an extremely comfy place to relax. We can't wait to return!

My family had a great time at this lake house! Definitely the best rental we’ve tried so far. Everything was provided- from toilet paper to bed sheets. All we needed to purchase was food from the grocery store 5 minutes away. Lots of options of where to sleep and all were comfortable. Most of our time was spent in the lake or on the dock. They have kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats, splash pad, floats, life jackets and even some water shoes (the bottom of the lake is quite squishy). When inside, we spent a lot of time on the swings in the screened in porch. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the gadgets/utensils we needed. The only thing I can think of that could have been helpful would be dressers to store your clothes. I think the only room that had a dresser was the master bedroom. A couple rooms had closets but I like to be able to unpack my suitcase when I go somewhere and not all my clothes can be hung easily. No biggie though. All together we had a wonderfully relaxing trip and would definitely recommend staying here!

I can't say enough about how great this property was! The owner, Chris, is the most responsive owner we have ever dealt with. The house was gorgeous, in great shape, and super clean. Lake Gaston was amazing, not too crowded, clean, and huge! We had a group of 13 and had plenty of room and have already ordered a pair of hanging hammock chairs like the ones they have in the screen porch. The kids loved the converted garage into play room. We rented the boat and jetski for the week and had a blast. The dock house was really nice and had all the extras you could need (life jackets, paddle boats, kayaks...). Would 100% stay again. Thanks for a great week.

We are becoming regulars at Lake Gaston each summer, and this is one of our favorite places yet! I usually pack a whole bunch of things we don’t find in a rental (TP, dish soap, laundry detergent, sharp knives, matches, etc) but Chris (the owner) has this place so well stocked most of my stuff never came out of its box. We bring or make all of our food while at the lake and the kitchen was stocked well enough to do all the cooking needed- pans, dishes, bowls, crockpot, air fryer, etc. The double oven was helpful as well. And the second fridge in the garage meant we didn’t have to keep making trips to the Food Lion (although it’s only 4min away- so super close if you need it). The house is huge- plenty of comfortable places for people to hang out whether inside or out, and the multiple options of where to eat was great. The screened in porch is a dream- it’s huge and the hammock swings were a favorite all week. The internet is fast, so although we were off of phones/computers most of the week, when someone needed to pop in for work there were no connectivity issues. The upstairs setup was different than expected when we got there with the 3rd bedroom (the queen) being a “walk thru” room instead of totally private, but Chris took the feedback and has already moved the bunks to the basement room (which is under the master) to make the 2nd upstairs room private. He also had added a wall AC unit in the garage so we were able to sleep our boys on 2 twin air mattresses in there. The washer/dryer is in the master bathroom (which is also connected to the livingroom), which makes it a little tricky to do laundry, but there are two dryers which is genius- made drying the incredible amount of lake towels we use a piece of cake. There were tons of extra pillows, and the comforters on all the beds were soft and comfy. We bring a wakeboarding boat with us and were able to tie up alongside the dock easily. The house is almost at the very end of the cove so there is no “thru” traffic and the water is super calm, about 4ft deep at the end of the dock and great for enjoying the floating pad, floats, paddle boats, kayaks, paddle boards or the Tarzan swing- which was enjoyed by “kids” of all ages! Chris was quick to respond, answered all my questions and was easy to work with - and we are already planning next years trip! Would definitely recommend this place.

everything went smooth.

everything went smooth.

The house was possibly even better than pictured! We had a large group of a few families taking our first trip to Lake Gaston. We ended up with a TON of cars because all couples ended up having to drive separately due to some arriving later or leaving earlier because of work schedules, but it was no problem, as the driveway was big enough for all. The house was clean and peaceful, separated by trees from the road and with smaller homes with quiet neighbors on both sides. Our group had kids ages 5 to 18, and they ALL had a great time! The water by the dock was shallow enough that the littler kids enjoyed lots of swimming (the foam floating pad was a HUGE hit!), and the older kids loved the standing paddle boards and kayaks. All ages loved the paddle boat and seeing the mussels, shells, snails, etc., in the shallow water. The house itself was exactly as described. It has plenty of space. We had no trouble cooking in the kitchen, grilling on the deck, sitting around the large dining table, lounging in the screened porch...I will say not to expect too much privacy in the upstairs bedrooms since you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the little room with the daybed/trundle, and through the other bedroom to get to the room with all the bunk beds, and the master bath also connects to the living room and contains the washer/dryer, so it's not really a private master bath. None of this was an issue for our group, just a different/unexpected layout, but still plenty of beds for everyone. Based on previous rental experiences, we came prepared with packs of toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, plasticware, dish soap, hand soap, pillows...we hardly needed any of it! This house was SO wonderfully well stocked with all the necessities, including extra toilet paper (most places I've rented only provide what is on the holders when you arrive). There were also some helpful extras throughout, such as the detailed guide of instructions, local resources, emergency contact info, etc., and especially the little charging adapters (like an extension cord but with both regular plug outlets and USB ports for chargers); this was SO much easier than having to try to plug a phone charger in behind a nightstand or something. The property owner was very quick with communication for the months before our trip and during our stay. I would absolutely recommend this property, and we are considering booking it again in the future!

We had a wonderful time. We had sleeping room for 8 adults, 1 child, and 1 toddler. The weather did not cooperate but we had no trouble occupying ourselves with air hockey, pink pong, an arcade game, and sitting on the screened on porch. This house is on our short list for renting again.

The property was warm and inviting for the family. When I arrived into the house, it felt just like home. A home office was off to the right with the adjoining master bed room when I entered. This is where my mother resided during the stay. The kitchen was up two steps to the left. I kept straight and walked into the family room. From the family room, I could see the lake down below. On the second floor were three main bedrooms. The three kids were able to sleep comfortable in the bunk bed room. The two other adults were able to have their own rooms. The kids also were well entertained with toys in the basement and an arcade game in the garage. My mother and older sister were able to relax in the family room during the day and overlook the rest of the family at the dock or on the screened porch. During the week long vacation, I found myself in one of the four swinging hammocks on the porch. My brother was able to fish on the dock during the day and night. There were life jackets, water toys for the kids, and a stereo in a room on the dock. The property owners emailed a welcome package which was thorough on how to check in, things to know during our stay, local restaurants, etc. The property owners checked in on us during our stay through email and ensured check out went smoothly on our last day. The property owners were an email away if needed. If my family were to return to Lake Gaston, we would definitely reserve this property again.
