Spring Break Getaway

We stayed at a VRBO property on Lake Gaston during Spring Break and had a fantastic experience. The home was spotless and well-maintained, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals comfortably. We especially enjoyed having access to the kayaks and paddleboard—they added a fun, relaxing element to our stay. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, providing the perfect setting to unwind and rejuvenate.The host was very informative and responsive, which made our stay even smoother. A special thanks to the kind neighbor who went above and beyond to help my son retrieve his phone from the lake—truly appreciated! We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a serene and welcoming getaway.

As advertised

Great peaceful property exactly as listed. Bernie was a great communicator and the neighbors were super friendly. We used the kayaks and paddleboard daily. Jimmies Creek is a lower traffic area which works well for the kayak and SUP. Highly recommended.

Great Time

If you are looking for a quiet time, Lake Gaston is the place! Such a beautiful, peaceful area. This home is a great place to stay and make your home base. Lots of amenities provided, sits in a beautiful cove, and an amazing screened in porch that we spent lots of time on. Was also a great spot for our dog. Thank you!

Relaxing family getaway

Had an intergenerational week-long family getaway on the lake. Love lake Gaston, the kayaks and paddle board were great. We rented a boat for a day and had no problems docking it. We had a lot of rain one day and the puzzles and other games in the house kept us entertained. The best part was the owner's responsiveness! We had lots of questions and added the boat late and she was so quick to answer and very accomodating.

Perfect for docking boat and jet skis. We also enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Love the screened-in porch. Quiet and peaceful. Friendly neighbors. House was clean and comfortable for 7 adults and we still had plenty of room. Friendly hosts with quick response. We had a great time !

A great getaway!

Bernie was extremely easy to work with. She was easy to get in touch with, and was very responsive to texts and emails. The house was located right on the lake and was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed. The fact that it had 3 kayaks was an added bonus. It was great to be able to walk out the back door and drop the boats right into the lake. The neighbors were very nice and we enjoyed talking to them. If you are looking for a clean, quiet place to stay, this is your place. We will be back!

Not a good experience

The home was clean, and the neighbors sharing the driveway were kind—but that’s where the positives end.On June 11, after the refund window had closed, I was sent a 12-page document filled with restrictive rules and details that should have been in the original listing—most importantly, that the dock is shared. Had that been disclosed upfront, I would have chosen a different property. Guests are also expected to take the trash bins to the road, which is unreasonable for a vacation rental.Linens were not included, but this was buried in a photo caption and the document—not clearly stated in the main listing.A thunderstorm knocked out power for 17 hours. No flashlight or emergency supplies were available. The owner offered minimal communication and no real assistance beyond telling me to go buy ice and sharing updates from Spectrum. I lost over 200 worth of food purchased for the week. The house was 82 degrees overnight—miserable.After I left the property, I received an accusatory message from the owner blaming my family for ceiling damage that was already present when we arrived. Yes, I should’ve reported it sooner—but to be blamed for what appears to be existing mold or water damage after just six days is absurd.This experience felt like a bait-and-switch followed by poor communication and unfair treatment. I would not stay here again, and I strongly urge future renters to ask for all documentation and rule disclosures before booking.

Great last-minute getaway!

I was looking for a place between where my daughter’s in school and home. This was a perfect getaway. We loved kayaking, paddle boarding and attempting to fish! Also enjoyed the fire pit and neighbors were lovely and kind. Bernie was a great communicator. All in all a great long weekend with friends and family!
