About this house rental

Fishing, wake boarding, paddling, cannonballing, swimming, floating, rocking, swinging, gazing, tubing, cruising, dozing, grilling...just awaiting your visit.

Originally built as a hunting and fishing cabin in the early formation of Lake Gaston, the concept it to provide hideaway in the natural splendor of the lake.

Much of the original charm remain in great shape because, '...no wet suits allowed on the furniture...' has always been a house rule (and remains so).

The cabin was designed to provide a comfortable and intimate place for family and friends to experience the fun and adventure of lake life. It is not intended to be a luxurious indoor vacation.

Located on the south shore of Main Lake (mile buoy 3), sunrise and sunset views pull you out to enjoy the lake!

Sunrise to sunset, the sun drenches the dock and the trees shade the house and deck.

Rustic wood charm with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, endless hot water. One set of bunk beds and a double bed in the "Bunk Room", and a queen bed in two bed rooms provide for up to 8 sleepers.

Deep water (> 5') on all sides of swimming area of the dock makes cooling off fun and easy. Boat visitors can pick a side. Swimmers use the open areas.

This was a much needed retreat for our family of four. Chris' place is private and peaceful and we had a fabulous time. Will definitely return!

My family and I enjoyed an amazing weekend "Aunt Nel's" home. The beds are super comfy. The location is super private. And, the dock and the view --- priceless. We relaxed, we fished, we grilled out, we watched the stars, and we enjoyed everything the lake has to offer. It is perfectly peaceful and private AND has everything you could possibly need for a perfect escape vacation. We definitely hope to return and highly recommend this rental!

This cabin was exactly what I was looking for in a vacation......EXACTLY! The cabin was so charming and relaxing. I love the old fashioned rustic feel of all the wood.....I felt like I was coming home to Aunt Nell's place even though I'm not family. The beds were very comfortable....it was the best sleep I've had away from my own bedroom. The view of the lake through the trees was just beautiful. And so many birds!........cardinals are my favorite and I have never seen or heard so many in one place as I did here. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much I enjoyed relaxing on the hammock....even napped there. It's a perfect place for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. I was there over the 4th of July and the fireworks from the dock were all around. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. I will definitely be staying here again.

Best sleep I've had in a long time! Very quiet and relaxing! So many things for kids to play with and not to mention the wonderful, spacious back porch! The owners were so kind and helpful the whole time! We are and will be staying here again!

Perfect lakeside cabin for our family with private dock and beautiful location (and hungry fish for our young anglers). A cozy and peaceful retreat made for a great family weekend. We couldn't have asked for better.

We loved this little lake house! It's perfect for people that just want to get away and relax. The view was beautiful, I got some great sunset pictures! We spent some time on the lake in our boat, not too crowded on the water. Did a little kayaking and a lot of fishing from the dock. Caught 3 pretty big catfish, one about 3.5 lbs. and lots of smaller ones. Floated a little out on some floats, left them behind for the next guests. Chris, the owner, was wonderful, very helpful. We will definitely be back!!

We rented for the 4th of July weekend, and loved Aunt Nell and Uncle Ed's cabin. It was not fancy, but cozy and seemed like it could have been OUR Aunt Nell and Uncle Ed. The covered porch is wonderful and we spent many hours just gazing at the AMAZING views of the main lake. Our family enjoyed lots of game playing, and water time. (I told my kids it did not have wi-fi--although it does) So instead of being online the whole time, we did alot of great activities together. We brought our two kayaks in addition to our boat, and the area is great for kayaking as well. My only recommendation would be to add a bumper on the corner of the boathouse--it is a tight fit pulling in especially when the main lake is choppy. I will be checking the calendar to see when we can get back to this great little place!

My whole family came to NC for a wedding in Roanoke Rapids and wanted to stay all together in a house rather than in a few rooms at a hotel. This place seemed like a perfect fit from the website and it was. Fully functional kitchen, wifi, close to Roanoke Rapids, and great views of the lake. We didn't get much chance to enjoy the lake but did have a few hours to spend jumping in from the dock, which is spacious, and enjoying the sun. We would definitely come back for "real" lake vacation. The house does not have alot frills and isn't fancy but it is just what you need if you are looking to enjoy the company you're with and the lake.
