Nice lake view

Overall good experience and host was great. Area not the best which is what we were checking out. The screened in porch overlooking lake was the best part. Accommodations were ok, but was very clean and everything was provided.

Absolutely delightful stay!

It is right on the lake and picture perfect beautiful. Sipping coffee in the mornings on the 3 season porch watching a peaceful sunrise and listening to fish jump in the lake, it was perfect! The house is super clean and the extremely comfortable beds made for peaceful evenings. Our host was very tuned in to make our stay most pleasant. Sublime VRBO.

Relaxing

All went well with my stay. There is no road sign leading to the property so it’s easy to miss the turn. I had one concern and the hostess addressed it. I would definitely recommend this location.

Overall, it's a very nice place for relaxing. Unfortunately the water was extremely low but that's no fault of the host. Everything was clean and comfortable. I would recommend putting in a stairway to the grilling area, the slope is for people younger than us. Very nice place and clean, we wiped everything down before we left so it should be left as clean as we got it. We will probably rent it again.

Great place overall! Comfortable beds, great screened in porch/deck with view of backyard, and incredible view of the water. Having a covered area with seating for the grill area was also a major plus. The property is in a location where no boats seem to pass by, so it’s extremely quiet and allows you to enjoy the sounds of nature. Hosts were very accommodating with a welcome basket, and having all important items/information labeled in the house. We would absolutely return again!

Exactly what we expected: clean and comfy in a beautiful setting. Bed and sheets were very comfortable, and we slept great. A/C kept up well despite how hot it was outside. Plenty of seating to enjoy the view.Hosts were friendly, responded quickly, and were very informative.We really enjoyed The Kennon House restaurant. Very friendly staff, delicious food, and nice atmosphere.Boating and fishing on Lake Gaston was fun. We thought we might get bored and return our boat rental early, but there was so much to do that we wish we had more time than a daily rental. The lake is huge and we only got to explore half with some fishing thrown in. Highly recommend if you enjoy boating and/or fishing.

I had an amazing experience at this Slice of Heaven. The neighborhood is very quiet and serene. The house is extremely inviting and comfortable with lots of extra touches from the hosts. I slept like a baby and enjoyed watching the sunset and sunrise on the screened back porch overlooking the lake. The view was unforgettable and breathtaking. I wish I could have stayed longer.This will be my preferred home any time I'm in the area!
