Lakefront w/ Private Beach, Dock, Kayaks, SUPs, Game Room - 5BR Family Retreat
Welcome to The Good Life – Lakefront Living at Its Best
*Please note we only do Saturday to Saturday reservations in July and August.
Escape to "The Good Life," a spacious and family-friendly lakefront retreat in Pea Hill Creek on beautiful Lake Gaston. With a private beach, protected swimming area, dock, kayaks, paddle boards, game room, and pet-friendly accommodations, this home is designed for unforgettable lake vacations, family gatherings, and relaxing getaways.
Nestled on a level lakefront lot with mature shade trees, the property offers stunning views, plenty of outdoor space, and direct access to the calm waters of Pea Hill Creek — one of the most desirable areas of the lake.
Whether you're looking to relax by the water, explore the lake by kayak, enjoy family game nights, or gather around the fire pit under the stars, The Good Life offers everything you need for the perfect Lake Gaston vacation.
The OUTDOOR SPACE is where this property truly shines.
Enjoy peaceful lake views from the dock Adirondack chairs, relax in the shaded hammock, or swing on the double swings overlooking the private beach.
The protected cove location makes this one of the best swimming spots on the lake. The water is shallow near the shoreline for younger children and gradually deepens toward the dock.
Guests also enjoy complimentary access to:
6 kayaks (5 single, 1 double) 2 paddle boards 1 pedal boat Private boat dock (perfect if you rent or bring a boat)
You can paddle to nearby Halley Rock island, explore quiet coves, or head to the main lake just minutes away by boat.
