Beautiful Well Maintained Home

We enjoyed another wonderful stay. Natalie and Jon are terrific hosts and offer terrific amenities both within the home and at the waterfront. It’s a quiet and picturesque area of the lake, but also affords easy access to the main body of Lake Gaston. Highly recommended!

Amazing home and lake vacation from start to finish! Never have we ever stayed in a house so well appointed and so well stocked. It made our stay with young kids such a breeze! From spices to towels to basic cleaners, it was all there and at our disposal. The fishing poles, life jackets, kayaks and pedal boat were all wonderful and added a lot to our experience! We have found our new lake house rental!! Natalie (and John!) were so above and beyond what you'd expect in hosts! We'll be returning for years to come! Thank you both!!

Annual Family Vacay

This home fits our family so well. This is our second year staying in this lovely home for our annual family vacation. The home is equipped and stocked better than any home we have stayed at in the past. Our grandkids loved the slide and float mat. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful vacation swimming, boating and fishing at Lake Gaston.

A Welcoming & Peaceful Place For Families

Our group of family & friends (4 adults, 5 children) found Natalie's home to be idyllic -- a peaceful corner of Lake Gaston shaded by soaring pines offering terrific areas for swimming, boating and fishing together. The property and home itself offered just as many wonderful amenities (the game room, the kitchen, the bedrooms, etc.), but what really struck us was the attention to detail invested by Natalie and John. They are outstanding hosts who go the extra mile to ensure their property feels more like a lake home than simply a lake house.

Great Location and lovely property

The location is perfect just off the main lake. The kids loved the water slide and jumping off the dock. The host provided a number of kayaks that could be used in the quiet waters of the cove. There was also a paddle boat which had seen better days but was still lake worthy enough to make it around the nearby island. Loved sitting on the porch just watching the world go by. The basement entertainment room was used by all but the bar area could do with some glasses to save running up and down stairs. The entertainment area is also right next to the kids bunk room so having little kids that needed an early night could subdue activities. We would definitely go back.

Annual family vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home for our annual family vacation. We usually look for a site with some sandy beach for our young grandchildren, but they are hard to find. I noticed all the decking and the slide at the water on this property. It turned out to be a wonderful find!! We loved having some depth to the water for swimming off the dock. The bunk room worked great for our grandkids, the master suite on the main level for us and the two bedrooms with their own bathrooms upstairs for our adult children. Home was very well stocked both inside and out and we loved that bed linens and bath towels were included! This is the fifth year we've vacationed at Lake Gaston and this property fit us so well. The location is great. Truly one of the best!!!

We had another excellent experience at Natalie & John’s beautiful home — our 3rd summer in a row enjoying their hospitality. The location is ideal, with a quiet waterfront for the kids to enjoy but close proximity to the main body of the lake. The house is beautifully maintained, and the boathouse with its two slips and boat lifts is a big plus. A great spot for families and friends to relax and enjoy vacation time together.

Great Stay at LKG

Our stay was amazing, the house had all the amenities and then some. Multiple zones where fun could be had by many, gameroom, dock, fire pit, sunroom, porch. Etc. The cove is wide and access to the house was easy from the boat ramp. Fishing was great from the dock. It was a great time had by all.

Gaston Summer Vacay

We like to take a week every year in Lake Gaston. This year we wanted deeper water off the dock. This house is perfect. Plenty of Kayaks for everyone and a slide off the dock. The Kitchen is well stocked and plenty of pots and pans to cook any meal. We played games every night and enjoyed sitting around the fire. Natalie and John are very responsive and were the perfect hosts for the week. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Awesome lake house experience

Natalie's lake house is incredible. The house, the decks, the yard, the dock and the water are all within talking distance. If you are looking for a place for three families with kids this is ideal. There are three grown up bedrooms with king size beds and one big bunk room downstairs for the kids. Everything is as described and as it looks in the pictures. Couldn't ask for more.

Perfect vacation home!

This house was absolutely beautiful! There were 7 adults and we all agreed that it was the most relaxing vacation we have spent together (and we’ve spent quite a few). Everything was immaculate and there was not one necessity or luxury item that was missing! The view of the gorgeous lake from the porch was incredible! We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boating and fishing during the day and lit fires in pit at night and shared many laughs! Thanks Natalie for an amazing 5 days! Highly recommend!!!!😁

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is a great house with so many spaces to accommodate a large family with friends. Natalie, the owner, was great! She was very responsive and offered so many extra details that made our stay so easy and pleasant. She went above and beyond to make sure we knew where everything was located on the property and what needed to be done for check out. We didn’t need to go in search for anything! She even gave local recommendations for restaurants, entertainment, businesses, etc. We highly recommend this property and it’s owner and look forward to returning for another family vacation!

Family week of fun!

I can’t say enough about this house. There were so many activities to do. The owner thoughtfully provided everything for the family to do together from fishing, different types of boats, floats, different places for the family to gather, etc. The kitchen is well stocked and the owner is very responsive. Her neighbors are lovely as well. The house is located in a beautiful location. I highly recommend renting a boat and making a trip to goat island. The only con is it makes you never want to go home because you’re having so much fun :)

Lake Gaston Paradise

We are Ohioans who seek lake life for our yearly vacation. We have been to Deep Creek (x2), Smith Mountain and Lake Norman (x2) over the past several years. This house on Lake Gaston provided our best experience, by far. The house is great, the dock is fantastic and Lake Gaston is the best we have been to. Communication with Natalie was on point, check in was easy and house was very clean. Property is well kept and the owners go above and beyond when it comes to making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. Under-counter ICE MAKER (that works) is all I need to say. All other appliances and amenities are top notch and available for use. Beds were super comfortable and bathrooms clean, spacious and in perfect working order.If I was forced to find one thing that wasnt perfect it would be the basement entertainment seating. The home has a massive flat screen in the lower level, but only seating for four. We made it work and in no way does it diminish my rating of this house on Lake Gaston.11 out of 10. No way you are disappointed if you stay here.
