Beautiful home with scenic views of Lake Gaston

Get ready for the vacation of a lifetime!! Come and enjoy one of Virginia’s and North Carolina’s best kept secrets! You can find paradise at our lake house! It is two levels and has everything you will need to make your stay at Lake Gaston an enjoyable one. We have tv, internet and DVD players (movies provided), board games, books and puzzles...everything that will provide inside entertainment for family evenings or during inclement weather.

Lake Gaston is a clear and beautiful lake located in the Piedmont of southern Virginia and northern North Carolina. It is the last major impoundment on the Roanoke River, and offers excellent water quality and water level fluctuations that are less than one foot. It is 35 miles long and has over 350 miles of shoreline. Lake Gaston is within a three hour drive of Washington DC, an hour and a half to two hours from Raleigh North Carolina and Virginia Beach Virginia.

Outside is where the real fun is! Our backyard leads right to the water and our boat dock, which is the center of lake life. The water off the dock is about 6 feet deep which is great for older kids and adults. Younger kids do well with the shallow water by the shore. Swimming, fishing, sunbathing (don’t forget the sunscreen), and relaxing all happen right there. It’s a great place to view the beautiful evening sky and sunsets. Skiing and tubing can be started right in front of the dock.

Besides the water sports, fishing is excellent at Lake Gaston! Available species include striped bass, largemouth bass, crappie, perch, sunfish, and our favorite dinner fish, channel catfish. Fishing from the dock is a favorite pastime for both young and old alike. Early mornings and evenings are usually better, but when is fishing not good?

Lastly, one of the best pastimes at the lake is RELAXING! Whether it be enjoying the view, reading a book, napping in the sun, soaking in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows over the fire pit at night, or mountain biking on the nearby trails. There is something about the lake that lets you leave everyday stress behind for awhile. This is what we most enjoy about our lake house. One day of vacation and you will feel as if you've been there a week already! We invite you to come and see for yourselves.

Comfortable, roomy lakefront home located in northeast quadrant of Lake Gaston.

The house and the setting are lovely. Deck with gates to keep a dog or toddler safe. Hot tub with lake view is relaxing. Well appointed kitchen. Only possible hesitation for elderly are some steps at entrance. Just a paradise overall.

Relaxing stay with family and friends
We had a lovely stay at the lakehouse. The location was perfect - at the end of a quiet cove so the kids could play without concern for boats around them. The house was clean, well stocked and spacious. The kids loved the upstairs space- it was perfect for all 5 of them to stay upstairs while the adults kept on the main floor. All had a great time and hope to return. Thanks to the wonderful hosts!

Family getaway
The property was nice, but a secure Wi-Fi is needed, there was expired food in the cabinet and open food in the freezer. There were not towels out for total needed. The blue rugs in first floor bathroom need to be tossed and they are fraying and it is carried into the shower. Great yard. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Family Getaway!
We rented this property for a family Thanksgiving Reunion. It was the perfect weekend getaway! We brought all our food, and cooked a feast together. Wonderfully stocked kitchen with everything you need, from pots and pans, to spices if you forget one! We enjoyed eating together, playing indoor games, finished a 500 piece puzzle together while watching Madagascar :D, brought our double Kayak, and enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and firepit!! A Wonderful location, and a Lovely Home, with incredible views. :) Thank you Megan and James for opening up your beautiful home!

The location of this house is awesome? The little ones could stand and play in the water and the adults could float around at the end of the dock. The home was also extremely well stocked. Loved having the hot tub!

Wonderful family vacation at Lake Gaston!
We’ve been renting vacation homes at Lake Gaston for many years and this is one of the best we’ve stayed at so far. Perfect layout for our group of 3-4 adults, 4-5 kids, and 2 dogs. The kids loved having their own space upstairs (the youngest ones were so excited to have a mini kitchen up there) and the adults enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness of the downstairs bedrooms. Kitchen is a good size and easy to maneuver in with a larger crowd, and well-stocked with dishes, spices, pots and pans. The large dining table sat all of us comfortably. A HUGE bonus for us with toddlers and dogs was the rolling outdoor patio gates that allowed us to close off the deck stairs and keep them corralled with us on the beautiful deck. Plenty of parking for cars and it was easy for us to tie off the boat on the dock. We all enjoyed swimming in the cove and relaxing in the hot tub. We experienced a neighborhood-wide power outage while there and the owners were responsive and checked in with the energy company for us. A five-star stay and we will definitely be back!!

Best lake house yet
Plenty of room for the 11 of us, excellent location, right on the lake, swimming right there at the house. House was stocked with everything you need. Only drawback is the lack of local shopping, whether it be groceries, gifts, etc. the local stores have questionable meats and such, walmart is 35 minutes away. this is not a reflection on the house, but just a warning in general, as there is not too much around. this is by far the best lake location and house amenities we have found to date

Very nice house and property
Loved the house and property. Although a couple of chairs on the top deck were broken, the propane tanks were both empty.Boat parking was very small. Owners should put there boat on the trailer when they rent out property. also should let renters know of small boat area in the water as I had 2 boats there. Also trash from previous renters was never picked up and I had to drive 1/2 hour each way to empty it myself.

Perfect view and a home away from home
This house has everything you need to relax and enjoy time with your family and friends during any season of the year. It's very stylishly decorated and the kitchen is amazingly equipped. The house is sparkly clean and comfortable. It has an amazing view and sunset experience from inside the house, the two decks, or better yet from the backyard and dock. It's peacefully located in a cove and in a quiet neighborhood but only ten minutes from the supermarket, coffee shop, gym, and other small business places. We definitely recommend this house. It's a paradise!

Everything was easy, this property has a lot of things that are useful such as plates and cutlery. Could have used more towels but we made do by washing the towels every day.
