Awesome getaway for a family

My family and I spent Thanksgiving here and we really enjoyed our stay. The host got back to me quickly when I reached out to her on a minor issue. The view was amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots and pans to prepare our meals. Cell service wasn’t the best but we didn’t mind because we kept ourselves busy playing pool and other games.

Great vacation!

This was our first visit to Lake Gaston. The Golden Sunset Cottage was perfect for our vacation. The location was great being in the cove, set back in away from boat traffic and a nice spot for the kids to swim off the dock and fish. It was a short distance to the main part of the lake for boating. The house was perfect for our family group of 5 adults and 6 kids. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We all enjoyed the screened in porch and morning view of the lake. Communication with our hostess Erin was great! She was very responsive with any questions/concerns we had.

Relaxing and beautiful setting!

Beautiful home on Lake Gaston! The kitchen had everything you’d need and the home is nicely decorated and the beds were comfy. We didn’t get to use the outdoor games or equipment due to the weather but it was well stocked. The only down side was that the Internet connection was a bit weak, but fortunately we were only there for a short time. The host was very quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. Would stay there again!

Close to Paradise

We had an amazing week at Golden Sunset Cottage! The house was immaculate and roomy. Their screened porch (with a ceiling fan) gave us hours of comfortable reading, computer work and birdwatching. The beds were comfortable and the sheets soft. I have trouble doing stairs but these were designed perfectly with bannisters all the way along the steps. There were enough stairs for me to get to the lake and onto the dock. The lake was warm but refreshing and very clean. No leeches. The dogs we like kids and didn't want to get out of the water! We prepared all our meals but 2 in a well-equipped kitchen. One dinner we had out was at the Blue Jay Cafe, a bit pricey but work every penny. The food and service was on a par with what we've had in cosmopolitan areas. Thank you for a wonderful opportunity. We hope to see you again!

OK

We had someone parked in our driveway and using the dock and equipment our next to last day. That was surprising, but they left when we went to the dock. I'm guessing it was the owner's kids or friends of the family. Excellent location on the lake. Great equipment available for lake activities. This is the type of house just for sleeping and then you spend your time outside. Which is exactly what some people are looking for. This is not a luxury house. There is 1 comfortable bed and the couches are better quality too. The others sink right to the box springs. The front door is difficult to open. You must take all trash to the dump or with you. That was shocking for the price. The house is average with poor insulation and low-quality paint that makes the walls sweat. You absolutely cannot WFH here. The wifi only works after midnight-about 5am. Streaming is available, but will not work due to poor wifi. There is not a DVD player so the TVs are only good at certain times, when the internet works. One wasn't even plugged in. There are board games and a pool table. Not our cup of tea and we won't be going back.

This was a great spot for our girls weekend! We spent most of the time on the screened in porch and loved that the kitchen was big enough for us all to gather around. The house had more provisions than we thought would be there (some toilet paper, paper towels, etc). Overall, a great stay!

Erin and Shawn are thoughtful hosts! Their home is lovely. They provide lots of floats, a lovely dock and a fire pit to fully enjoy the lake. The kitchen is well stocked. The porch overlooking the lake is a perfect start to the day with morning coffee. The beds are comfortable, and plenty of living space to spread out. While at the lake, there were a couple of times we reached out to Shawn and Erin, they responded very quickly. Fantastic hosts and a nice house. Our favorite activity was a sunset cruise with Captain Jack. Lake Gaston is a good place to vacation!

Wonderful home and owners

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake front home during Memorial Day weekend. The owners are wonderful people who we got to meet during our stay. They made sure we had everything we needed and were readily available for any questions we had. The house came with kayaks and standup paddle boards for their guests to use. Love having these to explore the lake. The view from the house was gorgeous. The weather was a little chilly during our stay so the fire pit was a big hit. We had a great time and will definitely come back. Thank you again to the owners, Erin and Shawn, for a wonderful stay!

Enjoyed our stay!

It was a great place to stay! It was clean and decorated very cute. It shows carpeting in the main living area but to our surprise they had brand new flooring all throughout, which was really nice. The only downside to this property was the driveway for us. My parents, who are a bit older had some trouble loading and unloading. We had some concern about getting out of the driveway with our minivan because of how steep it was but other than that we enjoyed every part! We would definitely stay again. The owner was very helpful and got back to us immediately with any questions we had.
