Great spot for large group
We take an annual trip to Lake Gaston with 4-5 families every fall. This year was the first time we spotted this house and it was great. We maximized all of the space in the house- which admittedly has a bit of a funky layout to fit in this many rooms—but we had plenty of space to spread out and hang out despite having the max size group for the rental. We were initially worried about being on a small cove, but it ended up being fantastic for the kids to paddle board, kayak and swim (even in October!) and just a short paddle to the main lake. We have had several main lake houses before and this is the best fishing we have had in years- lots of fish right off the dock (mostly large pan fish). There is an arcade game not in the photos that adults and kids enjoyed in addition to pool and foos and the movie room now has a much larger TV than pictured. Hot tub was clean and great. Fire pit is on the non-lake side, which we knew from pictures, but probably resulted us using it less than we normally would since the weather was great and everyone was on the lakeside. Of note, like much of Lake Gaston, the WiFI was a bit spotty which caused some challenges with streaming and network things, but overall wasn’t a huge issue for us. There was a note in the house that the hope to have Fiber in the area soon. Elle was an amazing and responsive host and we had great communication. We would definitely stay here again and found this house to be even nicer than we thought when we booked it!

How’s this? **Beautiful, Spacious Home - Perfect for Large Families!**
We recently stayed at this amazing house with 18 people, including 2 under 2, 3 under 12, 4 teenagers, and 9 adults. There was plenty of space and fun for everyone! The main floor of the house offers a full kitchen, dining room, living room, and plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms. The bottom floor feels like a whole separate home with its own full kitchen, bar, pool table, sitting/playroom nook, couch/TV sitting area, theater room, 2 bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms. You could easily have two separate living spaces within the same house, making it perfect for large groups. The dock and swimming area were a highlight! It’s off the main lake, like a cul-de-sac on water, which made it perfect for hanging out and having a great time. The kids had a blast swimming and jumping off the dock. The provided family float and lily pad were fantastic additions that everyone enjoyed. With 3 refrigerators, there was plenty of space to store food for the week. One tip: buy extra ice! The ice makers couldn’t quite keep up with our vacation drinking, but the margarita/slushie maker was a hit with both adults and kids. There are a lot of steps, so if anyone in your group has trouble with stairs, this might not be the best choice. Also, while towels were provided, we found it helpful to bring extra as there seemed to be only one per person for showers. Major stores like Walmart, grocery stores, and fast food are about 20 minute

The property was great! Probably the nicest house we have ever rented. The house was beautiful, functional and had everything you could need. The towels and linens were so nice, and beds were comfy. I wish we had had more time to enjoy all the property had to offer. Our family stayed the weekend to attend our dads Celebration of life, and everything was great! Elle was so nice to communicate with. We would definitely recommend! If we are that way again we would book, but would have to save up:)

Immaculate home
This place is wonderful. One of the best properties I've stayed in using VRBO. The layout, the openness was spectacular. We rented this house as a surprise for my mom's 74th birthday and she was blown away. The kids didn't want to leave. If you are looking for a place to get away and relax with your family this is a great place with 8 bedrooms in a multi-level home. 5 stars all around.

We love all the space that this place provides, both in bedrooms and in living spaces, including 2 full kitchens. Elle, the owner, was so helpful in answering my questions!! All our communication was clear and quick. We had an issue on our end because of a family situation and she helped us in every way possible to solve the problem. Looking forward to being there next year!

Perfect Lake House
Our family celebrated Christmas here and the house was exactly what we were looking for, clean and spacious. There are numerous shared spaces around the house where different groups could gather so it never felt cramped or crowded. Some people were watching a movie in the theater room, some were chatting around a fire place, others were playing card games, and others were watching football - and there were separate spaces to do all of these at the same time! Elle was incredibly responsive and accommodating host; whether I reached out to her in the late evening or early morning, she always responded to questions very promptly. I highly recommend this property.

This is an amazing home! We stayed to celebrate early Christmas with my family and had 22 people (children and adults). The 8 large bedrooms were great for sleeping and the two levels of living space provided plenty of room for us all. The kids loved having movie night in the movie room and playing the provided board games. There are two kitchens which helped when preparing dinners! The views are amazing and we really enjoyed the gas fireplaces during the evening. We hope to come back in the summer to get out on the lake but this house really has it all to enjoy even in December!

The BEST Vacation Home!
From the moment we decided to book the house to the very last "Thank you" message we received from the host, this has been nothing but a positive experience. The pics are beautiful, but the house is so much more beautiful when you're there! The booking was easy through VRBO, then the host contacted us after the booking to ask if we needed anything. All requests were honored by her and she always promptly responded to all questions. The house had everything we wanted and more. The kids (& the adults) enjoyed the lake and all the fun activities set up for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the firepit. The hot tub, the theater, the well-stocked kitchen, extra blankets....everything was good. Amazing host! Amazing house! We will definitely be back again....and again...and again! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home with us!

Wonderful Property
Elle is an amazing host who presented a beautiful waterfront property with all the items you could imagine needed already there. This is a must stay and there is just so much space for you to host a large family. The internet is stable but satellite so don’t expect to stream a lot but there is so much available on dish plus Disney that you will be good. All that said between the beautiful grounds, hot tub, fire pit, deck, dock, and the cute neighborhood of Warrenton I doubt you spend much time inside and if you do pour a drink and enjoy there view by the fireplace!

Wonderful family vacation house
We really enjoyed our time in this house on Lake Gaston. It was the perfect blend of relaxing space and fun activity on the water. We spent most days swimming off the dock, and evenings eating together, playing pool and other games, and just hanging out. This house allowed us all to have our own space and be together as a family.

We were a party of 18 with ages ranging from 15-80+. There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have multiple different activities going on at the same time. It was also nice being just off the main lake out of the wind and wake to swim. This is the third house we’ve rented at Lake Gaston and will likely come back.

Fun stay at the Lake
Our family enjoyed a great stay at this property! Room for everyone, lots of updates and fun spaces to enjoy. The game area, theater room and dock were used a lot during our stay. We were happy to discover the hot tub and charcoal + gas grills, plus a basketball hoop at the end of the street which the neighbor encouraged us to use. The wifi worked great when the young adults were still asleep but was, as you might imagine, a little harder to come by with our whole group accessing it -- something the owner is well aware of and working to improve. I'd recommend renting the pontoon boat to get out onto the lake and really take advantage of the location...just beautiful!
