We arrived one day early and paid an additional day rent plus a fee for arriving a few hours early. The driveway had a massive boat trailer on the property limiting our parking access. The main entrance door and windows were covered with spider webs and residue. Main floor living room and office were sparsely furnished, with bare shelves, the kitchen itself had very minimal glassware (4 wine glasses, the rest was cheap plastic and cookware. A few cheap pans and a large pot and colander comprised the available cookware. There were no serving dishes of any kind making it difficult to entertain guests. The white porcelain kitchen sink needed scrubbing and bleaching, and the wood floor was stained with water spots from the drinking bowls of dogs. Throw rugs in the living area had not been vacuumed. Rusty toilet paper holder in the downstairs bathroom and the shower rugs in all bathrooms had not been washed in a while. This was not resolved thru our entire stay.

Beautiful property.

This waterfront home on Lake Gaston has plenty of room. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with good cookware, plates and utensils. The property is well-kept and the neighborhood is quiet. Bob, the property manager, is very responsive and we enjoyed working with him. There are a few minor places for improvement. It seemed like the home had been cleaned after the last stay but that may have been awhile before we checked in - there was a film of dust on many surfaces and small dead worms on the carpet near the exterior doors. The rooms are large but we wished for more furniture, especially in the bedrooms - there was no seating in any of those rooms. And while the dock was very nice, there was no real room to cast a line for fishing. None of these issues was a deal-breaker, and we enjoyed ourselves despite a rainy week.
