About this house rental

Welcome to Firefly Bay Lake Gaston, a luxury vacation home with plenty of space, spectacular main lake views, and all the amenities to make your lake vacation a memorable one.

As soon as you step in the front door, the expansive views of the lake will take your breath away. Drop your bags, explore the more than 5200 square feet of living space on 3 levels, and prepare to enjoy all that Firefly Bay Lake Gaston has to offer!

Relax in the spacious, brightly lit great room, prepare meals in the fully stocked gourmet kitchen, and dine with family and friends in the dining area with seating for 14 inside and 6 outside on the deck. Grill your favorite foods on our Weber grill (which features a built-in propane line so no tank is required), then head down to the lower level for more space to relax and entertain, including a pool table, a bar area with an icemaker and beverage fridge, a smart TV with a PlayStation 4, and a closet full of puzzles, books, and games.

Next, head to the screen porch just off the kitchen to get away from the action and savor a cup of coffee or a good book while you enjoy the summer breeze. Then enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub with spectacular views of the lake.

Looking for more to do? Head to the garage game room where you will find ping pong, foosball, basketball pop-a-shot, arcade games, cornhole, plus a second full size refrigerator and freezer for extra storage and convenient access to food, drinks, and snacks.

Of course, the main attraction is beautiful Lake Gaston only a few steps away from the house. We have lake toys galore including 4 kayaks, 2 stand-up paddle boards, a floating swim mat, and other various inflatables. We have a variety of life jackets in child, youth, and adult sizes, as well as a vacant boat slip, a PWC lift, and cleats on the dock that guests are welcome to use. If you would like to rent our pontoon during your stay, please let us know!

Head up to the upper level of the dock to soak up some rays on the sun deck, complete with lounge chairs, tables, plenty of seating. If shade is more your style, our lot is oriented so that there is both shade and sun even in the middle of the day! Enjoy swimming in the deep water (8-10 feet off the end of the dock), or use our jump gates to take the plunge off the top deck (if you’re brave enough!). Try your luck fishing, or take a kayak or paddle board to explore Hawtree Creek just a short distance down the shore. For guests bringing a boat, a public boat ramp is located just 3 minutes from our home.

After a long day on the lake, enjoy smores at our firepit and watch the spectacular sunsets from the sundeck. As the evening light fades, relish the magic of summer at the lake as the fireflies make their appearance. Another perfect day at Firefly Bay!

The property and hosts are amazing! As with any stay, there were some hiccups and the hosts were incredibly prompt to respond. Labels on every cabinet/drawer in the kitchen, clear instructions on how to use house amenities and TONS of games and entertainment! Thank you hosts 👍

Beautiful home located on a peaceful lake. We take a family vacation with 3 generations every year. This was one of the best! All ages had an awesome time with so many activities in the house and on the lake to keep them busy. We loved this vacation and have wonderful memories to cherish. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous home and lakefront property.

Spent a long Labor Day weekend here. The home is beautifully situated in a community, with fabulous main lake views. There is just a ton of space for everyone to spread out, both inside and out. We had S’mores around the fire pit on the terrace outback and the kids loved jumping off the second story of the boat dock into the lake. We took advantage of the boat rental and spent countless hours tubing out behind the house. We come to the lake frequently so know to get down to Goat Island to tie up and let the little ones enjoy the beach and jumping off the dock. We grilled steaks up on the grill on the back deck and enjoyed making meals in the fully-stocked kitchen. Plenty of big screens to watch some football on as well! We’ve rented around the lake, but I can’t think of a location, on the main lake, that had as much as Firefly Bay! You can just book this property - no need to keep searching!

In the words of my 14-year-old daughter, “This was the best vacation I’ve ever had!” The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful; the house is spotless, decorated beautifully, and it was big enough for our large group of 19. The kitchen is very well stocked; we had absolutely everything we needed. The lake was perfect. The mayflies greeted us the first day or 2, but then we didn’t see them. They don’t bite, so they were never an issue. Hardly any bugs at all. I don’t think anyone ever used bug spray. Do yourself a favor and rent the pontoon boat, which is very reasonably priced. We used it every day and had a blast tubing and just exploring the lake. The provided kayaks and paddle boards that were used every day too. The floating mat was a hit as well. The hot tub is perfectly situated to enjoy the views of the lake. Speaking of views, we loved the fact that the house is on the main lake and could see the lake while relaxing inside. There is a beautiful Great Blue Heron that lives to the right of the house (standing on the dock looking at the lake). It was cool to see him every day. He will fly away if you come close on a kayak but doesn’t seem bothered by the boat. Adam and Rachel are amazing hosts and super responsive to questions. It’s obvious they want their guests to have a wonderful experience during their stay. We are so happy we decided to rent this house and plan on returning as soon we can!

It was our first time in a lake house, and we fell in love with it. We had so much fun with the pontoon, kayaks and paddle boards! We watched the sunset everyday while on the kayaks and paddle boards, it was very, very peaceful. The hot tub was a great way to end the day. The house has everything you need, it was very clean and very comfortable for a big family. The game room was so much fun for everyone! Adam was very helpful through out the check in and check out process. We can’t wait to go back!
