Our dogs loved the floating mat at the boat house

Awesome week! Kids loved it we will be back!

We had an amazing week at Golden Sunset Cottage! The house was immaculate and roomy. Their screened porch (with a ceiling fan) gave us hours of comfortable reading, computer work and birdwatching. The beds were comfortable and the sheets soft. I have trouble doing stairs but these were designed perfectly with bannisters all the way along the steps. There were enough stairs for me to get to the lake and onto the dock. The lake was warm but refreshing and very clean. No leeches. The dogs we like kids and didn't want to get out of the water! We prepared all our meals but 2 in a well-equipped kitchen. One dinner we had out was at the Blue Jay Cafe, a bit pricey but work every penny. The food and service was on a par with what we've had in cosmopolitan areas. Thank you for a wonderful opportunity. We hope to see you again!

Beautiful property with a great lake location and plenty of water toys for us adults.

We had a wonderful time on our family vacation. Communication with Shawn and Erin was very good. The driveway is a bit steep and had a few issues getting up it but overall our annual trip to Lake Gaston was great.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our multi family vacation. The owners were very nice and helpful.

Erin and Shawn Carter (owners) made us feel very welcome from our first communication. The house is beautiful and very user friendly. It has all the amenities we needed and was amazing overall. I highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a Lake Gaston getaway!

Had a great time at the lake, perfect spot to hang out with friends. Wifi/cell service isn’t great out there so make sure to put the address in the gps early on.

Wonderful memories with my favorite boys, and a beautiful view!

Our extended family had a wonderful week at the lake. The fishing from the dock make our fishing folks very happy while others preferred swimming and paddle boarding. The screened porch was a favorite gathering area and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our only concern was the condition of the driveway, but we made it work. Thanks soooo much for sharing your lake house with us!

We absolutely loved the location of the house. The cove was perfect for the kids to kayak and paddle board and also the perfect place for them to learn to water ski. The house was well stocked with everything we would need to cook all of our meals at the house. The only complaint was the cleanlinesss of the house. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned upon our arrival. There were also many bugs on the bottom floor. The floors were dirty and it didn’t seem like the sheets had been washed after the previous visit. Besides the cleanliness we would def recommend this house and would absolutely rent it again.

Enjoyed our stay at Lake Gaston. This was our second visit and we would definitely return. Communication with owner was great. Great set up for families. The cove swimming was the best! ❤️

Great house with amazing water. Excellent communication with the owners. Driveway is a bit steep, not recommended if you are pulling a trailer. Plenty of space to park on the top of the property.

The house is located in a quiet cove which was perfect for our large blended family. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board included in the rental. Our week at the lake was comfortable because the house was perfectly sized for our family of 11. The owners were very helpful and answered questions in a timely manner. We would definitely rent this property again.

We all 4 generations from 7-92 years of age and a young golden retriever all had a grand time. We loved the location being in deep water and the dock for the boat was great. The kids loved the dock jumping off and the floating blue mat to play on. The kids enjoyed the pool table too. The Wi-Fi for phones or tv was not great but that was expected. The gravel dirt road down to the house is a little bit challenging with ruts. The only thing that we could complain about was the cleanliness of the downstairs when we arrived and had to clean and vacuum quite a lot of spiders, bugs, pet hair and spiderwebs out till 1am but it’s really deep cleaned now. We washed all beds bedding too just to make sure no bugs, eggs or spiders were in them but one bed sheet set in queen bedroom downstairs was dirty anyway. Come to find out that night while cleaning that a window behind downstairs sofa was pushed out and completely open to the outside critters. Not sure how long it had been that way. We contacted the owners about 9pm the first night while cleaning and Mr Carter came out that night but we asked him to come over the next am about 10. He was very courteous and brought bug spray and had planned on cleaning with a helper but we had done it all the night before. He was very responsive and helpful. After the first night we all had a great time and would definitely love to go back. It was nearby to boat to restaurants and ice cream places. The sunset boating trips and the boating in general was wonderful. We launched our boat at the Eaton Ferry Marina. In Littleton the LG outfitters store and the coffee/deli across the street were really nice and yummy food too. The Food Lion is just down the street from those two places. All in all it was a fun, relaxing and enjoyable place to stay and the area was great.

Wonderful location and great owners. Kitchen could use some better silverware and more serving bowls. We love entertaining and the lack of serving pieces was a problem. Surprised that there were no coat hangers and no hairdryer in master area. The owners are in the process of renovating and upgrading. I’m betting our next stay there will reflect their hard work. We loved our time there and will certainly return.

Host/owners were extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a good time. The screened in porch was fabulous. Our dog loved playing with Cooper (dog lived next store)

I had booked a lake front cabin three years ago for our family vacation. Due to physical weather related damage to the reserved property, we were unable to go to Tennessee. We spent a good chunk of time the day before our vacation trying to find a substitute property that checked off all our wishes. This one came the closest and was within our price range. We had a wonderful week with our adult children and spent lots of time on the lake. So very thankful we were still able to go on vacation with our family.

We had such a great stay and look forward to visiting again!

It was a great place to stay! It was clean and decorated very cute. It shows carpeting in the main living area but to our surprise they had brand new flooring all throughout, which was really nice. The only downside to this property was the driveway for us. My parents, who are a bit older had some trouble loading and unloading. We had some concern about getting out of the driveway with our minivan because of how steep it was but other than that we enjoyed every part! We would definitely stay again. The owner was very helpful and got back to us immediately with any questions we had.

Relaxing

We had a great thansgiving at the property!!! Very well furnished for a large meal. Would definitely like to stay in warm weather to enjoy the lake!!

Loved the house. The waterfront location was perfect, the kayaks and paddle board super fun, and the house was clean and everything worked! When we texted the owners to let them know that we were missing a few cleaning supplies, they responded within minutes to make sure we had what we needed. We will definitely be back!!

Nice property with good location for boating on the Lake.

We enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic and the house was nicely equipped and very clean.

Lots of space. Loved the screened porch. Pup-friendly but still very clean. Comfortable beds. Nice dock on lovely cove. Hosts friendly and available. Great rental experience.

Absolutely perfect! The property is wonderful and the house offers everything you need for a quiet stay at the lake! Kitchen has everything you need, the beds are cozy, the screened in porch is perfect for meals and relaxing, and the dock is in a cove which is great for swimming and floating. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay, especially the availability of kayaks and paddle board. The house was set up well for our group, parents with 4 adult children and 2 dogs, bedrooms were comfortable and the main living area was great for a group our size. The lower level pool table was perfect for our evenings. The host was quick to reply to our inquiries. The house was mostly clean, but there were a couple of used popsicle sticks on the counter and a purple stain in the downstairs bathtub. This washed up quickly so we didn't contact the host. The keyless entry began beeping one night and continued for over 2 hours, but stopped for no reason we could figure out. When I contacted Erin, she checked on it quickly, but it stopped before we could figure out any reason that this happened. Overall the house fit our needs and we enjoyed our stay.

Kids and adults enjoyed the water with all the water toys—kayaks, paddle board, swim mat and floats. Cottage had everything we needed. Ample room to spread out and the pool table was a plus.

This is was a great family trip. The property was clean and the A/C ROCKED! We enjoyed the porch, boat house and floating around in the cove. We had a slight issue with the keyless entry but Erin fixed it with no problems. The communication with the Carter's was A+. Thanks again and we hope to return soon!

We absolutely loved our time in this house. So much fun and beautiful location. We didn’t wanna leave! Everything was so easy and available to us during the entire stay. Check-in process was seamless and our hosts were constantly attentive to our needs. Definitely recommend and will be back! They set the bar.

Wonderful relaxing vacation! Beautiful views and great house with plenty of room for everyone!
