This property was a lot of fun and well care for. The bedrooms/baths were nice, kitchen had all the essentials, the outdoor activities and amenities were amazing and fun! Owner had the cooler on the deck filled with ice ready for our arrival. The only negative I can think of was the dog hair on the living room furniture. All in all it was a lovely and welcoming home.

Great house! Memorable vacation!

We had an fabulous amazing week!!! Kitchen was furnished with everything. Lots of plastic storage containers, ziplock bags, trash bags, had dishwasher soap as well as lots of cleaning supplies. Coolers everywhere for you to use. Kids enjoyed having TVs in every room including the downstairs family room, after dinner movie/video time. The indoor surround system that also works at the boat house. Brought on family singing & name that tune. We had a minor hiccup but Vicki was very accommodating & had problem resolved the next afternoon. Hiccup brought many more laughs & memories. Vacationing with 13 teenagers can be never wrecking, however with all the outdoor activities, paddle boarding , Kayaking

Property exactly as advertised and homeowners were perfect hosts. Beautiful and relaxing spot.

We came to this property to celebrate a birthday for one of our family members. With 3 families, we were very comfortable spreading out amongst the bedrooms across 3 floors. The property itself was very clean and well-stocked with all of the items you might need. The owners were helpful throughout the process - helping us to find a local gym to workout, providing highlights of the area, and addressing a minor issue with the wifi during our stay.

This makes the second time staying here in consecutive years for our families large Christmas gathering. We have 10 adults and 10 children and there is room for everyone. The house is fantastic with an amazing boat house, fire pit, hot tub, ping pong table, etc for everyone to enjoy. TVs galore and stunning views. Quickly becoming a family tradition for us and Vicki couldn’t be easier to work with. We’ve only stayed here in December but I imagine this place to be an absolute blast during the summer with all it has to offer.

Spacious property allowed for multiple areas to occupy and enjoy indoor and outdoor. Some could relax on the deck off the living room with a beautiful view of the lake, others on the patio using the hot tub or ping pong table, still others at the boat house with two levels of very comfortable seating so you can be in the sun or shade or enjoy the cool waters of the lake using the trampoline, kayak, paddle board, etc. House is beautifully decorated and spacious. Kitchen is well equipped and roomy. TV's and Music in all rooms and in the boat house!

Amazing! Serene! Phenomenal! Very clean! Well-maintained! Spacious! Did I say clean and BEAUTIFUL?...AND I DON'T usually give reviews unless it was a terrible experience. To understand how the experience at Summer Place brightened our lives, you have to know how difficult 2020 has been for us...we've had parents pass away, grandparents die, numerous people sick from cancer, Job loss, etc. And on top of that--COVID in the world !!! But we refused to not spend our Christmas week away with family. It is our tradition. Now that you have back-drop... This house is absolutely beautiful and very spacious 😍 From the design, layout, decor and amenities. We were able to get inside the hot tub and it was 25 degrees outside! There is a TV in every room, the kitchen is well-stocked with all the extras, linens and bed coverings were exceptional, furniture was well maintained and it was clean, clean, clean, clean (I'm big on a place being spotless) Communication with Vicki (property owner) was superb and very prompt (within 30-min to an hour during the Christmas week...who does that?!!!) She was so responsive and hospitable. Vicki even offered to FaceTime me to answer questions!!! It was a very cold Christmas week so outdoors was minimal, but we did get to use the fireplace, hot tub spa (Michael Phelps edition) and sit at the boathouse (Phenomenal)...I think it is the best boathouse on the lake. If you want an amazing VRBO property...you better choose this place. Truly, it is worth the price. We will definitely rent this place again. Thanks to Vicki and her family for making our Christmas week with my entire family an experience we will never forget! 💛 💞

Use this property for a family Christmas gathering. The property is beautiful and well represented. Property manager was prompt with response about questions. The hot tub, fire pit, ping pong table were all enjoyed by the family. There are TVs everywhere inside and out and the boat house is AMAZING. We luckily had a great weather weekend in Dec and were able to sit out there and take in all the beauty of the lake. I would HIGHLY recommend this location.

The house was very clean, spacious and many nice amenities. Our children and grandchildren enjoyed our vacation time on this property! The Owners and property manager was attentive to any needs.

Everything was terrific. Property was well maintained and had everything we needed. Everyone had an great time. Loads of fun.

This was the best rental I have ever had during my 15 years coming to Lake Gaston. A simple thing like the commercial ice maker is a game changer. This is a great location, but not much close to get something like ice. The only 4 that I gave dealt more with overall cleanliness of boat house based on number of spider webs. The only issue during the week was mother nature coming to life with the birth of may flies. It was a 24 hour issue and got through it but for scheduling purposes, things for people to think about. But I would rent this everyday and twice on Sunday.

I highly recommend it

I highly recommend this property to any family looking to enjoy time together in a 1st class property. The home is well built, well maintained, and super fun. The kitchen has everything you need and the commercial grade ice maker down stairs will be helpful for summer renters for sure. Our favorite parts of the home were the fun outdoor areas, all of which offer incredible sunset views over the lake. It's truly an amazing place. We look forward to returning! Book it now. You'll be glad you did!

Beautiful property .

This was our fourth trip to Lake Gaston and first time at this house. It was a huge upgrade from our previous house. We do a family reunion at Lake Gaston every other year and plan to go back here again.

Our 5th time renting this property. Always fabulous.

Perfect main lake home for our family. Be sure to rent a boat. It’s the best way to see the lake!

We had a group of 4 family’s (7 kids) stay a long weekend for the start of Spring Break. We had a blast despite a big storm and on and off rain! This was Masters weekend, so the large flatscreen in the boathouse was choice! Because the water temps were upper 60s, we made sure the kids had wetsuits, which they wore the whole time (even in the hot tub). They were so busy with fishing, jumping off the top of the boathouse, tubing behind the boat we brought, paddle boarding, hot tub chilling and ping pong, they had no issues with the wheather. The family’s had ample space: the larger family took the whole upstairs, the smaller family took the master, and the two families of 4 took the basesment rooms (each with two doubles, bunk beds and bathrooms). The kitchen was well equipped and the decks were among our favorite hang out spots. Watching the sunsets from the top of the boathouse was perfect. General notes: April is pollen season (it’s everywhere, including coating the water.) Water is cold, and weather is unpredictable. But lake is more serine and boat traffic is nonexistent. Must bring your own (or rent) boat. It was confusing if the paddle boards were a part of the rental or not. If not, I’d bring other water toys this time of year (Mid May is when they set up the water tramp/swim platform). This house has large flat screens overlooking the firepit, hot tub, Boathouse and in basement. Serious money was put into the A/V in this house. We had a couple of technological glitches but nothing that slowed us down. Was easily able to put in the boat but storing the trailer was not easy (or alternative parking elsewhere not obvious) at the house as no parking except on circular driveway. 1.5 hours from Raleigh. But bring everything you need as getting to a store is a pain...easier by boat in fact. Hot tub (very nice) worked 90% of our stay, got glitchy on last day. Firepit was great stocked with wood. Overall I highly recommend staying here and with the right gear and mindset, staying here “off season” is still a great experience! Thank you for sharing your home with us and we hope we can come back again soon! -Jamie

The house was perfect for our group of 8 ladies to get away and relax for a long weekend. Although it was blustery Spring weather we stayed cozy by the fire inside. The kitchen is perfect for preparing and enjoying gourmet meals. The house is beautifully decorated and the view was terrific.

Beautiful home and wonderful view of the lake and sunset.

Wonderful place, couldn’t be better, thank you!

Thank you so much for a great place! We loved our vacation. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The lake views and the hot tub were amazing. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and the fire pit. Definitely would come back!

Great week with family. Nice views of the Lake

We stayed at Summer Place with 3 other families and our kids ages between 11 and 17. The downstairs setup of boys/girls each having their own large bedroom and attached bath as well as separate hangout spot was perfect. The kitchen was large, open and had everything we needed and more! The water access and dock/deck were amazing and had nice furniture. The kids had a blast on the water trampoline and jumping off the top level of the dock deck. Great owners, Vicki was easy to work with, fast to respond and very accommodating. It's a gorgeous house and well maintained and also loved that there was plenty of parking too. We will definitely be back!!

We had a wonderful time. I don't know that I have ever stayed at a better equipped or well designed home for recreation and rest. Highly recommended!

Lots of room. Love the boathouse. A few maintenance issues but nothing that slowed us down.

We found this to be the best house we have stayed in at Lake Gaston. It is well stocked kitchen wise (though needs some organization in the 'machine' corner cabinet.). Appreciated all the storage containers for leftovers though more big sizes are needed. Loved the clean house and the layout. Loved the big kitchen table. Loved the sitting areas outside the kitchen and on dock. Appreciated the linen service. Beds were comfortable (though pillows were too big for some of us...needed some flatter, softer ones as options)....but all was clean , fresh and inviting. Loved the lake trampoline. Remember to bring bath soap if you come. Have a wonderful visit!! Oh and the Daltorio's were wonderfully helpful and have a pontoon boat to rent.

We had an amazing time at Lake Gaston. The house and amenities met all of our needs. Vicki was very quick to respond to any issues we had.
