We were so impressed as we drove up to the property. It was even more stunning than the pictures we had seen on the website. The house was immaculate and spotlessly clean. Every kitchen gadget you can think of was there for meal preparation and serving. The front porch runs the entire width of the house and offers beautiful views of the lake.The boathouse at the lake will take your breath away with views that it offers as well. There’s a nice shady area there with table and chairs and the deck on top is huge and allows for great views of the sunset. Be sure to take your camera with you. We hated to leave and will definitely return in the near future.

Wine Down was just want we were looking for. Located in a quiet neighborhood, the house was clean, updated and had plenty of space. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the boat house and kayaked a few times enjoying the scenery. We will rent again in the future!

Our group included my husband, myself, one of our sons, and his 2 teens. The house is very clean, like new, beautifully decorated, and well appointed with everything we needed to be comfortable. The property owner is very nice, and easily contacted. The boathouse is in like new condition, and is a great place to relax while fishing. We enjoyed the firepit, roasting hot dogs, and making smores. This is a great getaway for reconnecting with family.

Beautiful, super clean and organized home. Everything exceeded our expectations. Kate was such a wonderful host.

This house is perfect for a family vacation with plenty of room and a great rec room with games, tv, etc. Having a private boat ramp next to the property along with a nice boathouse (with lifts) was definitely a plus. The kids enjoyed both the beach area and swimming and fishing from the dock. There was nothing that we needed that was not provided. The kitchen is equipped with anything the cook might need. Plenty of dishes, glassware, and cookware plus a complete array of small appliances. Host communicated well and provided additional information for recommended dining, shopping, and recreational opportunities. An excellent VRBO.

This house is a perfect fit for our family - we just love the location and views - we hung out on the dock most of the time-fridge and sink was a bonus! It's well stocked and Kate was a great communicator - we really had a wonderful week!!

With the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms, boat dock and a boat ramp right next door, Winedown was wonderful!! We all had a real good time.

We loved our stay at Wine Down and Kate was quick to respond to any of our questions or needs. We are two families with kids between 8 and 16. The space was perfect for our group and the whole house was clean to our high standards. The shuffleboard table and foosball table were an added bonus, very much enjoyed by everyone in the house. The yard had plenty of space with barely any slope so we were able to enjoy the yard games we brought. The dock was fantastic with lots of space for fishing and for the kiddos to jump in to the lake. (We caught a good number of catfish.) My son found a cinder block at the bottom of the lake that we used to anchor our big float for the week. (No need to worry about kids hitting it when jumping in - it's far enough out and pretty deep. He's just a fish and enjoyed swimming to the bottom to find cool rocks and clams.) Having a refrigerator and sink at the dock was also great!

Our family- including 2 grown children and their children spent the week at WineDown and it was perfect! Location, things todo, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, glorious front porch rockers..... it was all there! We’ve been doing family vacations for 30+ years and this is the first home that we would come back to. Seriously....couldn’t find any fault with the home! Kate is a great hostess- very responsive for any needs. A+++++

We had the most amazing vacation. Kate is a superb hostess. The difference between a great stay and an amazing stay is the host. Everything we could possibly think of that we might need was supplied, so much do that I overpacked! AMAZING, my family is so grateful for the quality environment.

We had the most wonderful week at Wine Down. The location was perfect; quiet yet close to the grocery store, coffee houses and even a gym. Kate is very responsive and does a great job communicating. The house itself was clean, cozy and well organized...with very, very comfortable beds. We enjoyed and spent most of our time outside, on the dock or relaxing on the large front porch! We also enjoyed watching all of the geese walking around the property and swimming in the lake. You just have to watch where you step, when you are walking between the house and dock...a walkway of some sort would have made a perfect trip even more perfect.

A wonderful setup to have family come together. We loved every minute

This property is perfect for our family. Kate is super friendly and does a great job managing her property. This was our second stay at wine down and have had a great time both stays. We are already wanting to start deciding when to try to come next year!

House very clean and beautifully decorated. Kitchen exceptionally well stocked. We enjoyed the expansive front porch and the boat house.

Kate makes it easy! Location good, house fully stocked and clean. We usually spend all our time at boathouse, but our weekend was cold and rainy so we spent it mostly inside and still had a great time inside. Thanks Kate!

Wonderful Christmas break stay with our kids. House was great, location perfect, hope to stay again when it’s warmer outside.

Kate's home was perfect for 2 families. There was space for 2 adult couples. Boys in the bunk beds and girls in the loft queen upstairs. Everyone had space for alone time and time together. The kayaks, game room and large yard made for a lot of fun. The large porch and boathouse allowed us to watch the most beautiful sunsets and night sky. Kate was super responsive. Everything was in great working order. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all meals including Thanksgiving. We would gladly return. I originally missed that we needed to bring sheets and towels so just make sure to do that! Overalll, this was an EXCELLENT vacation home and we'd love to return in the summer.

This is our third time staying at Wine Down and as usual it did not disappoint. Kate does a fantastic job in communicating and has thought of nearly everything. We had a slight hiccup at check-in, but it was quickly resolved and the rest of our trip went without a hitch. Only complaint is that we had to leave so soon.

It was a beautiful place - we enjoyed sitting on the front porch and at the dock - very clean

Family decided to try a Lake Vacation other than the normal beach vacation. This home at Lake Gaston was really a top shelf experience! The home location was awesome. We were close to a store by car or boat. The home's "Boathouse" was a real winner. housed two 21' boats with good water depths. Views of the sun sets on the roof top sunning deck were outrageous! The home was great. Recycles run every other week so it depends on your week if you have to run to the recycle center. Kate was very responsive; we hope to return soon as the home and location are wonderful.

This house and location is a favorite of our family. This was our 12th year to stay at this beautiful house and property. Boating, tubing, fishing and family time. Kate is excellent to work with for the rental process. Never a disappointment at this property.

Great place to stay and enjoy with family. The house and boat dock was set up perfect for what we needed. We will look forward to booking again next year!

We had a wonderful vacation at Wine Down! The house was lovely and well equipped. Kate was a great hostess and very helpful. We spent many nights at the fire pit and enjoyed the boathouse during the day. I haven't been that relaxed in a long time! We will be back :)

This property was amazing - from the well-stocked kitchen to the boathouse, beach and central location to amenities, we were blown away. Our family stayed here for our annual Memorial Day getaway and our host was responsive, friendly and helpful. The home is centrally located with groceries, boat rentals and activities just minutes away. Our toddler daughter enjoyed the bunk room and the wide, flat yard. We made ample use of the canoes and caught several bass in the neighborhood cove! Couldn’t have asked for a better home or location - will definitely be back.

This was definitely our dream retirement house. Wish we had stayed longer.

Very good. Perfect location.

Kate was a great host and everything on the listing was exactly as we found the property. Pretty view of the lake and we enjoyed using the kayaks.

Easy rental. Host very responsive. Very accommodating.

Gorgeous home. Boathouse is amazing too. Kate was very helpful. House has everything you need and more.

very well kept. felt like a home.

This property was all it said it was. A great place to spend a week at the lake. Plenty of room for everyone, very well stocked kitchen, great location and plenty of fun things to do.

We are a large family and have made many trips together, and stayed many places, but none as accommodating as Kate's lovely lakefront home! This property has a beautiful view from all the windows that face the lake! The two bedrooms with the king-size beds have big windows where the serene lake view greets you each morning! The kid's bunk room is adorable. My two kids 12 & 13, loved it! The downstairs game room/living area was perfect to accommodate kids or even another family. I loved that there were two entrances, one on each level. The loft bedroom was a great option for our oldest daughters who could only come a couple of days but still felt like they had their own space, including their own dedicated bathroom The house is so fully stocked, it left me making a list for my own house when I got home! The home is furnished in such a way that you feel like you are both at home and at a resort at the same time :) Extra blankets in every room and bedroom, spices in the cabinet, games to play, it has it all! Outside, the property is laid out with two beaches (one cove-like beach that felt like it's own little resort beach!), a beautiful boathouse and a large yard. My husband and son fished every day and caught plenty :) Overall, this house was exactly what our family needed and we had an awesome week! I would highly recommend this home!
