About this house rental
Welcome to Casa del Lago where you can enjoy the best vacation Lake Gaston has to offer.
This is a private location where you can enjoy the water, amazing nature views from everywhere, relax, and have fun any time of year. For the best vacation you will ever have, CONTACT us today.
Casa del Lago is comfortable and beautiful, located on picturesque Lake Gaston - a fantastic place to get away, relax, enjoy nature, and have fun. Every level of Casa has stunning views of the lake with porches on all 3 levels, including a screened-in porch. It is just steps away from the water with easy accessibility and a gradual slope to almost 140 feet of lake frontage! We have a large, beautiful dock with Internet located in a protected cove so your family can swim without concern of boat traffic. It has a large swim platform you can swim/jump/fish off of and an upper sun deck for you to enjoy the sun and incredible views! It also has a jump gate and platform for extreme fun. You don't need a boat to enjoy this lake as we provide Kayaks and Stand Up Paddle Boards for you to get out on the water for further fun in the sun and nature. If you bring or rent a boat, we are very blessed to have over 14 feet of deep water at the dock and in a cove that protects your boat from wakes as well as a private community boat ramp to launch from. This spectacular home is located on Great Creek, which has a 2.5 mile long watersport lane and is only 8 min from Interstate I-85. You will not have to fight boat traffic here at Great Creek!
We know vacations are important! Here is what you really want to know as you are looking to rent a large lake home...
First, your getaway starts immediately with easy, contactless check-in. Just punch in your entry code and your vacation begins! Couldn't be easier.
Second, there's tons of fun to be had, inside and out! We provide water toys in the form of two kayaks and two stand up paddle boards with adjustable paddles and required universal life jackets! We have set up the home with 5 entertainment areas and, of course, we provide high speed internet for everyone to enjoy in the home and on the dock. The first is the main living room with a 65 inch smart Roku streaming TV with a BluRay/DVD player and Youtube TV. The second area is a cool Theater Room in the lower level with another large smart TV with BluRay/DVD player, sound bar system, Youtube TV, and theater seating! Also on the lower level is a card table area and electric dart board. Out in the large parking area is a ping pong table, corn hole game, game of horseshoes, frisbee game of Kan Jam, and a basketball goal where you can showcase all your skills. At the end of the day, you can bask in the hammock watching the sun set or around the lakeside fire pit seeing the lovely night sky fill with bright stars, roasting hot dogs, marshmallows for s’mores, and singing songs or telling ghost stories; use the stack of free wood or buy your own.
Third, after all that fun, we all want to sleep well on vacation! Casa del Lago sleeps 20 comfortably, meaning each room has a fan and everyone has a proper bed - no pull outs! All beds are super comfortable with cool gel memory foam, including the twin beds in the bunk room. This is our family home and we want all our guests to get a great night's sleep. With 6 bedrooms, including two masters, there is also plenty of room and privacy for everyone, the most private being the huge king room with the cool, spiral staircase!
Finally, we try to anticipate your needs. The kitchen is set up with everything you need plus there is a large Weber grill for grilling on the main deck, which is very large and set up with a big, comfortable table for outdoor meals lakeside. And we send you a welcome guide with tons of recommendations on restaurants, grocery stores, fun things to do, you name it - or contact us, we're always happy to give you pointers!
This is our family's home that we use and wish to share with others. We keep our house to a very high standard so that we and our guests can have the best experience at Casa del Lago. It is a great, fun, well-maintained, and clean property for everyone. We ask guests to treat our home as a home and not a rental. We expect guests to be respectful of our home and amenities, and treat it as you would your own home. Our house rules are included in the rental contract shown on this listing if you’d like to see them before you book.
Lake Gaston is a vacationer's dream! Located on the border of Virginia and North Carolina, it is roughly 35 miles long and covers over 20,000 acres with 350 miles of shoreline. It has an average depth of 40 feet but is 95 feet at its deepest point. Bounded by the Kerr Dam and Gaston Dam, it is a managed lake and therefore its water level fluctuates within only one foot under normal conditions year round. Lake Gaston is fed by water from Kerr Lake upstream and supplies water to Roanoke Rapids Lake and the Roanoke River downstream. Heading north, you can enter the river portion of Lake Gaston in about 20 minutes from Great Creek. The river offers miles of calm, deep water and straight runs for water sports. And, the water flowing from Kerr Lake is cool and refreshing even in the summer.
With virtually no pollution, Lake Gaston water is almost drinkable without treatment (having the highest water-quality rating in eastern US by both states: High, Level II rating). The lake is popular for fishing and other water recreation such as swimming, boating, tubing, kayaking, water skiing, wake boarding/surfing, and jet skiing. Lake Gaston is well-stocked with game fish, which include largemouth bass, striped bass or rock fish, crappie, sunfish, carp, and several varieties of catfish. Other species of fish sometimes caught are walleye, yellow perch and chain pickerel. A valid license for either Virginia or North Carolina permits fishing from a boat in either state. We give our guests permission to fish from our dock. And don't miss the Rosemont Winery nearby, which is open year-round for tastings and events.

House on the lake with an outstanding dock and swimming area in a cove. Not to mention beds for everyone and several places to enjoy whatever you want to do on vacation. Numerous amenities, all of which worked as advertised. The hosts were available to respond to texts when questions came up. Other than food, towels and bed linens, you don’t need to bring anything. (Besides a good attitude). The 16 members of our family ranging in age from 2 to 71 had a great week. We hope to return next year.

My family had an amazing vacation at Casa Del Lago! The house and dock were wonderfully equipped and perfect for our group. We especially enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the Great Creek portion of the lake was.
Thank you Matt & Carolyn for the thorough instructions, recommendations, and overall fantastic experience!

From the comfort and cleanliness of the house to the the lake and jumping off the boathouse roof, everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed our week. Not to mention the perfect weather without a drop of rain.

We had a fantastic stay at Cada Del Lago! The dock and outside space was perfect for us to pull our jet ski up, dock the boat, and enjoy swimming. The home was clean and had all the needed utensils to grill and cook meals. There were plenty of beds for our group! We did find it slightly inconvenient for the upstairs two kings rooms to not have a joined bathroom but we did travel with infants that napped frequently so it may not be an issue for others. Overall we enjoyed the stay and would recommend it and return in the future!

We had such an amazing time at Casa de Lago making some core memories with family! There was plenty of room for everyone to not feel like we were on top of each other. The dock/boathouse was the hit! Plenty of room and we loved that it’s a deep water dock! The hosts were very responsive with any needs or questions. Thank you so much for opening up your lake home to us!

We brought a group of teens from our school, and the property and the location were perfect. We had initially planned more day trips, using the house as a launching point. But by the end of the week, most of the teens simply wanted to stay by the house. There were plenty of water activities that kept them active and enjoying themselves. Our hosts were responsive and a joy to work with. The house was immaculate, spacious, and beautiful.

I had an amazing experience with casa del lago! Their listing was accurate, their instructions for the stay were very clear, and the house was in a prime location for our needs. Very clean with a scenic view and lots of fun to be had! Highly recommend.

Casa del Lago was the perfect home for a family reunion in October. Eleven adults and 3 infants stayed comfortably and thoroughly enjoyed the space and view. There were enough bedrooms for each couple to have their own. The home was super clean and well kept. Our family enjoyed sitting out on deck and taking in the view. We had a warm weekend in October and some of us even took out the kayaks. The open concept was perfect for keeping us all in one room. The kitchen was well stocked. The only thing we would recommend would be to have an extra folding table accesible so that we could seat everyone in the dining room or on the deck since the house can fit up to 20 people. There was ample seating, but we would have loved to have been able to all fit everyone around the same table. Also, we would have liked an option to pay extra for a linen service just so we didn't have to pack towels and sheets since us our cars were all super packed already (all the families were traveling with infants). Matt and Carolyn were super responsive and provided great recommendations. We had a great time at the local winery only 5 minutes away. It was the perfect fall weekend in a beautiful lake house. Thank you Carolyn and Matt for sharing your home with us!

Perfect getaway! Amazing views of the lake, and still had nice privacy too. We had plenty of room for games, movies, the kitchen is just so well organized, and tons of dock and porch space for everyone to spend time together or spread out. Lots of swimming and naps!!!
Want to come back in fall to see the colors and use the fireplace! :)

Our family of 18 had an amazing time at the Lakehouse. The house was great and the fun water toys were awesome! We all played in the water everyday, all day! Great times down at the fun dock! Wonderful boating , tubing and wakeboarding in the Great Creek! Can’t wait to come back!

Three generations from 82 - 12 years of age gathered for a week of fun and relaxation. House is nice, lake is amazing. We rented a boat and taught the grandkids how to water ski. The fact that the grandparents could sit on the dock and watch the action was great, we loved that we didn't have to travel far to be in open water. The SUPs and kayaks were used daily, the kitchen was well stocked, the kids watched movies in the theater room every night. Our only complaint was the bathroom situation, we would have loved a 4th bathroom, even a half-bath would have been welcome. But overall we had a great time!!

Family Lake Vacation
We had 20 family members from 1 year old to 60+ stay for a week and it was great. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed the dock and water everyday and cooked every meal but one at the house. The owner was very responsive and understanding. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, quiet setting with not a lot of activity in the water which was great for us as we didn’t have to worry while the kids were in the water. We brought some kayaks but also used the kayaks paddle board from the house. The only recommendation I would have is to put hooks on the dock, there is no where to hang your towels. Would defiantly go back!

Our family of fourteen consisted of ages from 9 months to a 17 yr old, parents and grandmother. There was something for everyone at this Lake Gaston rental! The highlight was the sun deck with extra comfortable lounges and chairs & a place to jump off the deck into the refreshing water. The water toys and media room kept everyone happy. Be sure and bring life vests etc for those who cannot swim (4 universal life vests for 90lbs and up are provided by the owner). Beware of midge bites that seemed extra active early evening! You will want to bring all your food items including oil, spices etc. One baby gate was provided but we needed several more for crawling babies. You might also want to bring favorite games, more decks of cards etc. The owner was very responsive to our many questions and requests. Enjoy!

King cabin week 2022
Our whole family parents 3 kids and spouses and eight grandchildren and 1 fiance enjoyed the week there at the cabin. The only drawback was The Limited space for eating for that many, and the space for multiple sets of us to play games, as we are a big game playing family. The house was well stocked with everything as advertised, and we had an enjoyable week. The owners we're great to deal with oh, and very responsive to our needs. We are considering the house again for next year.

We had an annual weekend getaway with friends and really enjoyed our stay at Casa del Lago. It’s hard to find houses with 5 bedrooms with all queen or king beds, and to find this house on a lake was perfect for all of us! Easy access from the highway, beautiful and quiet neighborhood, and the house was immaculate and well equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. The owners were exceptional and communicated everything very clearly both prior to arrival and during our stay. I highly recommend this location - I am sure it would be even more wonderful during the warmer weather when we could enjoy the water too! Thank you Matt for hosting!

Total enjoyment at an outstanding property
First things, first. We had a great time at Casa de Lagos Lakehouse! We usually take our family vacations at the beach. This was the second time we have taken our annual family vacation at a lake and we all loved it. Our totally enjoyable week long experience, was mostly due to the location and all the facilities available at Casa de Lagos. The house was fully equipped with everything we could have needed and more. Being lake front, it not only gave us direct access to the lake but also gave us some incredibly beautiful scenic views. There were so many different things to do, that everyone in our party was constantly busy. We had the lake with all its amenities; lake swimming, kayaks, paddle boarding, boating and of course fishing! Moments of quiet relaxation were abundant and our s’mores party at the fire pit was an unforgettable experience. We look forward to our return to Casa de Lagos for another incredible vacation! We would not hesitate to recommend the rental of Casa de Lagos to all of our friends.

fantastic time
Our family vacation was wonderful - the house was clean - in fact we met the owners when we arrived as they were taking stains out of the carpet from the last guest - the bedroom set up fit our families needs, the dock was a great place to sit and relax and then jump into the lake - we recommend the Rosemount Winery and Shady Shack as well as Meats Up - would definitely stay there again!!!

The home is spacious, comfortable and clean for a large family or group (we had 14) with amazing lake views. We had so much fun jumping off the dock, swimming, fishing, and using the kayaks and paddle boards provided. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and very organized! Our teens loved having their own space in the theater room with ping pong table. The home owners were very responsive and truly want you to have a wonderful vacation! They provide detailed instructions and information about the area. Our group would love to stay here again!
