About this house rental
"The Lodge at Lake Gaston" is a beautiful log cabin style home with a million dollar view. 4 bedroom plus loft home, located on waterfront of main Lake Gaston near entrance to Pea Hill Creek. Lake Gaston is located right on the NC/VA state line and was recently declared the #1 lake getaway across the United States by BuzzFeed and its readers.
Large double boat house with spiral staircase leading to a sun deck (used to be a helipad!). Boat house is ready for fun with plenty of deck chairs, storage room (with bar window), sound system and water slide! Large waterfront area (bulkhead) with deep water (5-6 feet). The gently sloping yard has a large stone fire pit & pizza oven. We also have a Saber infrared gas grill and smoker (both attached to central house propane).
This home has an open floor plan; kitchen, living & dining room combination, fireplace & 2 master suites , plus half bath and laundry room on the main level. French doors from living room, & bedrooms open to large covered porch with gorgeous view of Lake Gaston & boat house. Open Loft area upstairs overlooks living area & has view of the lake, additional bedroom upstairs.
Head downstairs to enjoy the recreation area with full bar, granite countertops, old-fashioned arcade games, digital piano, Tornado foosball, ping pong and TV/surround sound set-up. Oversized bedroom with two sets of bunk beds (both twin over full) is perfect for lots of kids or a whole family.
Summary of bedroom configuration:
first floor: bedroom 1 (king) with en suite bathroom; bedroom 2 (queen) with en suite bathroom
second/loft floor: bedroom 3 (queen), there is also a pull out sofa bed in the open loft area on this floor; note that there is no bathroom on this level
basement: bedroom 4 (2 sets of twin over full bunkbeds) with full bathroom
My brother-in-law's pontoon boat is docked at our house and available to rent from him (rate is approximately $1000 per week, daily rates vary). If you are interested in the pontoon, I can put you directly in touch with him. There are also several marinas in the area that rent other types of boats and water skis.
We have a paddle boat and kayaks (1 tandem adult kayak and 2 youth/small adult kayaks) and a SUP (stand up paddleboard) that are available for renters to use (no additional charge).
The house is convenient to all boating and shopping needs. On the main lake, but also close to the more quiet coves of Pea Hill Creek. 5 minutes from Food Lion grocery store, Dollar General and Ace Hardware.
PLEASE NOTE: For security purposes we have a single "Ring" camera pointed at the driveway/front entrance to the house.

We had a great week! This home was a perfect set up for our family vacation. The porch, dock, yard, fire pit and pizza oven were perfect for an enjoyable week. The house is very clean and well appointed with all things we needed to host/entertain our family. The hosts were very responsive to questions - we did NOT have any issues with the home at all! We would definitely recommend this property!

This house was so amazing, and we enjoyed every aspect of it! We had a gorgeous week, a few rain storms, but it didn’t put a damper on our week at all. We loved the pizza ovens, and it was so much fun making and creating our very own pizza’s. The boat was an added bonus, we fished, and took some sunset cruises, it was amazing. The guys took a half day charter catfish boat out, and the charter picked them up right at the dock. Only one very large catfish was caught, so we made a great fried catfish lunch from it, and it was so delicious. Thanks for a great week, it was totally amazing. Will definitely be returning❤️

We had an amazing time enjoying the beautiful property. Coffee on the porch or the dock was an absolute delight every morning. The kitchen had everything we needed for nights in, and we were close enough to the grocery store and restaurants to have easy access to whatever we needed. The game room was fun for all - kids and adults! The bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious for all. Our favorite part of the whole property was the beautiful dock. We definitely hope to be back soon!

Great communication with owner and great amenities and extras made this place a wonderful vacation spot. Everything is well labeled, directions on everything was clear, and the house was clean and perfectly laid out. We loved relaxing at the boathouse and using the canoe and paddle board. The hammock chairs were amazing and we had plenty of chairs and space for everyone. The grill was great and we spent each night hanging out on the back deck. We’ll definitely be back!

The Lodge was exactly as advertised. It was very well stocked and very well organized. The labeling and information was excellent. The interior was so comfortable and accommodations were excellent. The log beds on the main floor were a true work of art. The privacy of the accommodations from one floor to the next was incredible. We would rent this property again, for family and friends of all ages, without any hesitation.

Great house for us! Kitchen is well stocked, very nice bed linens and pillows, beds are very comfortable, great seating both inside and outside. We enjoyed watching the stunning sunrises from the porch, and relaxing on the boat dock. Had a fun fire pit evening, and were able to take out the double person kayak for a short jaunt around the lake. So many fun things to do both inside and outside the house. Something that I did not see in the description of the house or the pictures was the dinning table which was a very nice table with seating for at least 10. Very easy access to the driveway from River Rd, however there is a little noise from the traffic on River Rd that can be heard only when outside. Would definitely come back!

Property and house are neat and clean and very comfortable for all ages. Lots of places to gather or go off and read. Boat dock is well equipped and fishing/swimming is good. Our only concern was the traffic noise-not use to being so close to a main heavy traveled road. Had a super vacation.

This was our fifth time staying at Lake Gaston and this was the best house. The owners thought of everything. We have no complaints at all! The pizza oven was a cherry on the cake. The large drink cooler on the dock was a big hit with the adults. We didn’t have to buy ice once. I highly recommend staying at this house, you won’t be disappointed!

So much to say about this beautiful home right on the shores of Lake Gaston. Let's start with the location, tucked just off the main lake, the dock is protected, mostly calm and very safe for floating in the water with your friends. And the views from the house and the dock are just open water. The most relaxing expanse of water you could hope for. The dock is also nicely spaced from the neighbors, so you feel a since of privacy, which we really enjoyed. If you rent a boat, the gas dock is literally a 5 minute slow ride away. Nothing could be more convenient.
And the house is exactly as advertised. Very log-cabin-ish. With every item in the kitchen that you need for cooking delicious home cooked meals, sharing them either at the large dining room table or on the wrap around porch just beyond the living room. Beds were extremely comfortable, and the attention to detail for renters was the best we have ever experienced. Every light switch, shelf and utility labeled perfectly - so never any issues with operating appliances, lights or where to return things when done. This made the experience feel more welcoming and less stressful than rental houses can sometimes be.
Additionally, Lisa was incredibly informative. Responded quickly to any inquiries, even though, once we got there, we didn't have a care in the world. Instructions for arrival/departure were very clear and not at all cumbersome.
It was a 5 star experience, house and lake! Would rent again for sure!

We have stayed at several VRBO's on Lake Gaston and this one is soooooooo nice!! The house is beautiful! It is nicely decorated and has a well supplied kitchen! All six teenagers loved the down stairs! It was nice to be able to rent the pontoon and not have to go to the marina! We will be back!

Home was well equipped, easy to get to, and convenient to the nearby public boat launch for our boat. We appreciated the many activities that were included, and used them all! Had a great time using the paddle boat, kayak, stand-up paddle board, slide, ping-pong table, fire pit, and pizza oven. Our entire family felt very comfortable in the home, and the owner was easy to contact with any questions we had. We will definitely be back again!

Amazing property. Perfect location on the lake, tranquil views. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Our entire family had a wonderful time. Our kids, ranging from teenagers to 6 years old had a blast. Great fishing. And lots of fun water toys, including kayaks, paddle boat and paddle boards, to make vacation extra special. House well stocked with everything you can need.

This is our third time staying here and we love it here. So peaceful and beautiful relaxing by the lake. The house set up is great for a large family. We love to sit on the porch or the deck and look out at the lake. We also love using the firepit at night. I am sure we will be back again when we are looking for some family R&R.

Upon arrival, Wow! The house and the grounds were better than advertised. The kitchen, dining and family area is the nucleus of the home and provided a wonderful place for our family to gather when we weren't at the boat house....The boat house is what "Lake Life" is all about. It has everything you need to be active or just chill. There is also a pontoon boat available for rental (which we did) to provide access to beautiful Lake Gaston. The owners have everything prepared, labeled and organized to help your stay be the best. She was always available when needed. We are already planning for next year. Thank you for an amazing weekend with our family!

Wonderful place! We and our guests had a great time, and loved everything about our experience! (we’re all in the senior citizen age range) The boathouse and dock were a bonus feature, with water fun equipment, sunning area, and a shady area to relax by the water. We opted to rent the available pontoon boat, and enjoyed 2 partial days of relaxed boating, floating, and even some fishing. Everything was fantastic!

We thought the lodge at Lake Gaston was absolutely wonderful!. The home is complete with all the amenities you could possibly want or need. Access to the lake was so easy which was a big help. The dock has all of the amenities you could want and more. The owner was so kind and gracious. Overall, this lake vacation was a great big 10!

Great Girls Weekend!
House was awesome. Well appointed and very clean. Had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend with friends. Nothing was better than sitting on top of the dock wasting the day away in the sun. Great water toys to keep us entertained as well. This is our new annual meeting place for sure.

Great Stay at Lake Gaston
Excellent property, beautifully maintained. Dock is excellent and access to the boat is really a plus! It would help to know the close proximity to the road, which was quite noisy at times, and lack of safe walking areas without vehicle travel. The lake is beautiful, ideal for fishing, boating, swimming in warm weather.

Great Stay
Me and my two sisters began a yearly trip with our SO's to relax. This house was able to provide that. The house was clean, the owner was very communicative, and there was zero trouble throughout our stay.
The only thing that was not exactly ideal was that the house sat on more of a main rd..
The house itself and its amenities more than made up for it though and everything that we may have needed or wanted to check out was very close by.
Overall the experience was great and I would definitly recommend for anyone.

Awesome experience
This house was perfect for two families with five teens total (4 boys and one girl). The house was very clean and well organized. Communication with the owner was superior! We all want to come back in the summer.

Thoughtfully prepared
Lisa has thought of, and labeled, every detail to make this an amazing stay. The Lodge was the perfect size for a small group, the house is really unique, the basement prepared for kids to hang out, and the dock a ton of fun. Good location on the lake, not far from Food Lion or The Pointe.

Lovely lake house
This is a beautiful property with so many amenities! Our kids enjoyed kayaking and playing ping pong, and we even had some success with the pizza oven. The kitchen is very well stocked and the owners have thought of everything you might have questions about with meticulously organized notes and labels. It's a lovely location and home, and we had a great experience. Highly recommend!

Fantastic house!
This lodge was perfect for the entire family, we all loved it! Lisa thought of all the details including a device charging station. The kitchen is fully stocked, beds are comfortable and you can’t go wrong with 2 living rooms. We went over New Years so not warm enough for water fun but it was still nice to hang out on the decks and dock.
