We had a wonderful few days at Serenity. The home was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. We had fun with the games in the garage, took out the kayaks and enjoyed s'mores at the fire pit. Kitchen was very well stocked, which was a real bonus. Thanks for a great weekend and we hope to come back!

Mark was a fabulous host, very accommodating and he met all of our needs. Despite the noise from the landscaping company cutting trees we were able to have a peaceful, restful week. The property has ease of access to stores, wineries, and restuarants. Every person we encountered was also very friendly. I would recommend a visit to this beautiful lake.

This home is laid out really well for a couple of families to share. On each side of the home are two bedrooms and a bath, so it can be private. Living area in the middle. Host was great with good communication.

This house was a beautiful, peaceful, haven located just a short walk away from beautiful Lake Gaston. The view was breathtaking and relaxing. We enjoyed time on the lake with the kayaks you provided, made smores around the firepit, and played many fun games inside the house with the many games that were available. Will definitely be back!

This house and location on the lake is even better than described! The kitchen was well stocked and they even had all the essential pantry items (oils/spices, etc.) …and we were pleasantly surprised to find firewood waiting for us so we could make s’mores by the fire pit.
The paddle board was a favorite for our family…such a relaxing little cove to enjoy the peaceful lake. The owner, Mark, was wonderful about communicating…thank you for a fabulous few days at beautiful Lake Gaston! We hope to return again soon!

The house is spacious and clean. Everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend on the lake is provided (all we brought was food, firewood and a boat). The house sits on a lightly sloped lot down to the dock which was perfect for sitting out with a drink. The cove is nice and secluded but with a good view out to the main cove too. Beds were comfortable with high quality linens. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for all our meal prep. Overall, we had a great weekend here on the lake and would definitely return here.

This is the second time I've rented this beautiful house for a get away with girlfriends. "Serenity" is true to her name! Location is quiet and scenic and the house is open design which allows for fellowship. There are enough bedrooms for guests to get away for some private time. Sitting on the deck watching the activity on the lake is relaxing. The boat dock is perfect for coffee, drinks, or just to gaze at the beautiful lake. The house is pet friendly and equipped with everything you need. Just bring your food and drinks. The hosts are amazing and easily accessible by phone or text and are always available for questions. Hoping to book again next year. 😎

Very nice nice property everything was clean and fresh and it being pet friendly is what drew us to the property and it didn’t disappoint, nice dock with room for one boat which is all we needed. You won’t be able to see sunrises and sunsets unless you can make it out on the lake. We enjoyed quite mornings and evenings sitting on the porch and dock. We were able to see Herons and Bald Eagles. We didn’t have one complaint about this property

Thank you for a wonderful week of vacation for our family! We had my wife's family join us for a portion of the week and all 8 of us had a great time. I will definitely start future reservations at Lake Gaston by looking to see if the Serenity property is available. It's as good (or better) than advertised.
Some of our favorite attributes of the property:
- Owner was easy to work with and very responsive to questions
- Loved the layout of the home being on one level and the gentle slope of the short walk to the dock
- Cove was very calm, which made swimming, kayaking, etc very safe
- Dock was set up well to accommodate our boat and jet ski
- Comfortable furniture throughout the home
- My 7-year old and I loved getting out on the provided kayaks
- Having the garage game room (foosball, ping-pong, etc) gave the kids fun activities even on rainy afternoons
- Very dog friendly with reasonable expectations for dog owners
- Internet access was very reliable (Brother-in-law was able to participate in a 3-hr Zoom class without any issues)

Exactly what we were looking for!
We spent a week here. What you see is what you get! Started to relax the minute we got there. The house is delightful, the setting is stunning, and the owner is very responsive. We enjoyed swimming, paddling and tubing on the lake on the hot afternoons of our week's stay. The pictures are completely accurate - you are on a quiet cove with a huge dock and swim ladder. Short, easy walk from the house to the dock. House is well stocked. Thank you Mark for a memorable family vacation!

From start to finish, everything was great! Mark is super responsive and always friendly and helpful. The property really fit our needs and provided a much needed 'home from home' escape. Not surprised that this property has a 5 star review from so many others!

Excellent House/View and Property Manager
Great house in a secure cove. Water depth was plenty for our 23' boat with no weeds. It's a short walk down to the pier. House was clean with the basic kitchen items you would expect. Had an issue with the oven, but Mark was quick to answer and wanted to come over right away to look at it. It was pretty much exactly what we were hoping for and we have already booked next year. That says a lot as we have never before stayed at the same place twice.
Thanks again Mark!

Our family really enjoyed our time at Serenity! The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and has perfect access to a cove. The floating mat was a family favorite as well as the kayaks. Ending the day by the lake around the bonfire or on the patio watching the sunset with a glass of wine was the perfect way to unwind. The hosts were wonderful and responsive. They really take great care to ensure all went smoothly and we were able to enjoy our time there!

We spent 3 days kayaking at this beautiful home. It was spacious, had everything we needed and was very clean and peaceful. In December/January the temperature this year was in the 60s/70s farenheit. The Lake is so huge, every day we saw different parts of it watching Herons and the other birds. In December/January we only saw one or two other boats in the lake - fishing. It's really quiet. Most of the people who have motor boats are not there in December/January. Perfect vacation.

Fabulous Home and Location
This Home was just perfect for my retired Teacher friends get away! The house was so roomy, cozy, and met everyone’s needs for privacy and companionship. Everyone had their own bedrooms with TVs and the 3 bathrooms accommodated everyone. The Master Bath was awesome! An extra bonus was that it was pet friendly. We loved the large open gathering area in the family room and kitchen. We enjoyed the home so much we cooked every meal there and did not venture out to any restaurant. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the activity on the beautiful lakefront. The umbrellas and shade gave us all the sun protection that we needed. The fire pit was wonderful in the cool evenings. The property owners were very responsive to all questions. Needless to say…we plan to book this home again in 2022.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway!
Our family came from different states to celebrate Thanksgiving and we felt completely comfortable and welcome at this home. It was spacious and welcoming and pulling off Thanksgiving dinner was easy with their well-stocked kitchen. We loved the backyard with the firepit, dock and kayacks. The master bath tub provided some much-needed "me" time. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Great property with plenty to do!
The house was perfect for our short stay during a wedding in the area. Although it was November, the temperature was mild so we could walk around the neighborhood and enjoy playing cards and board games in the evening. I loved the layout of the house and all the extras included. I would highly recommend this property!
