Lakefront getaway with dock & jet ski rentals!

Welcome to Serenity at Lake Gaston — a peaceful lakefront retreat tucked in a quiet cove on Jimmies Creek. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers just over 2,000 sq ft of comfort, perfect for families and friends.

Enjoy easy access to the water from your private dock and a gentle slope to the lake. Spend the day paddling with our kayaks and paddleboards, or rent jet skis for a little extra excitement. Evenings are for gathering around the fire pit, roasting s’mores, and watching the stars.

Inside, you’ll find a game-filled garage with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball, plus high-speed Wi-Fi and streaming TVs. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the deck is the perfect spot to dine outdoors while taking in stunning sunset views.
Serenity at Lake Gaston is your place to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories—whether you’re on the water, by the fire, or simply soaking up the peaceful lake life.

Wonderful Lake House

This is a fantastic property. Plenty of space, very clean, well equipped, in an excellent location, comfortable beds, great table to gather around for meals and family game time, quiet location, easy communication with the hosts, a fun s'mores toasting pit (complete with lovely welcome gift), safe cove to swim in. Our best-ever Lake Gaston rental. We had no issues at all during our stay and would love to return.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely with plenty of room to both spread out and all be together when desired. It was my husband and I, and our two adult children with a friend each. All of us had a blast fishing, relaxing in the water, and having a ping-pong tournament. The cove was quiet and we all really enjoyed ourselves. I think this will become an annual trip for us.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway!

Our family came from different states to celebrate Thanksgiving and we felt completely comfortable and welcome at this home. It was spacious and welcoming and pulling off Thanksgiving dinner was easy with their well-stocked kitchen. We loved the backyard with the firepit, dock and kayacks. The master bath tub provided some much-needed "me" time. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

We had such a wonderful relaxing time...the name Serenity perfectly describes this property.

The house was easy to access and when we entered the house we were amazed at how clean and beautifully decorated it was. The owners left out stuff for s'mores and had bags of wood for us inside. The kitchen is stocked with every kind of cooking utensil and extras that you need. They even have a pantry that is stocked with bug spray, s'mores sticks, sunblock, and more. Every bathroom was also fully stocked and they even had full size body wash ,soap, and shampoo in each shower. The soaking tub was a total treat. The sectional is the most comfortable one I have ever sat on. They have an Alexa that works as a comceriege answering any questions you may have. The garage had the 2 kayaks and a paddle board with life vests and yard games. They dock right on the water was so peacefu, and the deck off the house had tons of very nice seating. The owners have just thought of everything a guest would or could need and we felt very at home. I would recommend this spot to anyone and we cant wait to come back during the summer and stay a full week ;)

Nice place for two small families

Large bedrooms with king beds, nice walk in shower in the main en suite bath.Plenty of room for two families of 4. The kitchen is well appointed and perhaps a little small, but pretty workable for a short term rental. We did not swim, but the dock offers afternoon shade and a nice place to enjoy the lake view.

Relaxing time at the lake.

We had a wonderful long weekend at lake Gaston and found the house very comfortable. We found the bed in the main master to be very soft so slept in the 2nd room with a king bed that was firm. Every thing was very comfy and enjoyable. The lake has easy access down a gentle gravel path to the dock and steps to ease into the lake ahhhhh. Very comfy home and quite comfy. We are not big cooks so found the supplies to be just fine. We would joyfully return!! Just lovely.

Serenity

Mark was a fabulous host, very accommodating and he met all of our needs. Despite the noise from the landscaping company cutting trees we were able to have a peaceful, restful week. The property has ease of access to stores, wineries, and restuarants. Every person we encountered was also very friendly. I would recommend a visit to this beautiful lake.

This house was a beautiful, peaceful, haven located just a short walk away from beautiful Lake Gaston. The view was breathtaking and relaxing. We enjoyed time on the lake with the kayaks you provided, made smores around the firepit, and played many fun games inside the house with the many games that were available. Will definitely be back!

Perfect Lake house!

This house and location on the lake is even better than described! The kitchen was well stocked and they even had all the essential pantry items (oils/spices, etc.) …and we were pleasantly surprised to find firewood waiting for us so we could make s’mores by the fire pit. The paddle board was a favorite for our family…such a relaxing little cove to enjoy the peaceful lake. The owner, Mark, was wonderful about communicating…thank you for a fabulous few days at beautiful Lake Gaston! We hope to return again soon!
