About this property
Lake Gaston's
BEST Secret Cove
Sleeps 16
w/Toys!
Welcome to Hideaway Haven - tucked away in the peaceful semi-private nook of Lake Gaston. This home boasts open water views, glass-like water, and everything lake-living has to offer. You will seriously love this secluded part of Lake Gaston, as there is minimal boat traffic - making it much safer for swimming, easier to paddleboard, and more tranquil overall. The cove is basically your own mini-lake, big enough to zip around on a jet ski, or even wakeboard. We don't think there's a better spot on the entire lake! If you love the main lake, no worries - it's a short boat ride. Also nearby are some excellent restaurants on the water, by boat (ask us about our pontoon and jet ski rentals).
As you enter the front door, you are greeted with bright two-story windows displaying the lake, and an open floorplan large enough for multiple families or groups to gather and enjoy!
A wrap-around sundeck surrounds the main floor living space. Enjoy your morning coffee off the Kitchen with elevated views of the boathouse, and gaze across untouched water to a private island. Maybe even greet the blue herons that walk on the shore. These panoramic views allow for glimpses of sunrise and sunset. For lunch/dinner, help yourself to the gas grill, as everyone gathers for indoor-outdoor dining.
In the evening, wind down on the porch or covered patio, or down around the fire pit roasting marshmallows.
Nonstop fun all day in this deep-water cove. Take a morning cruise on a provided tandem kayak or paddleboat; Swim or float off the 2-level boathouse, and even try jumping off the sundeck into 7ft deep water (no diving please). Access to the water is down a tiered boardwalk (2 or 3 steps down at a time to multiple landings) that winds down the gentle grade.
We installed a brand new water filtration system to help with water quality.
