We know how important it is to feel comfortable & relaxed when you chisel out the time for a much needed retreat. That's why we are inviting you to our home on Pea Hill Creek at lovely Lake Gaston. We love our home and we hope, for at least a few days, that you will too! We have remodeled the kitchen and added some new furniture. We installed a fire pit, set out the corn hole, hung some hammocks, added some really cool bistro lights and added a drip AND Keurig coffee maker! If you have small children you will really like that we have ZERO rip-rap and you can walk right off the grassy area and ease into a sandy bottom swimming area. Years ago we made the decision to just do a pier to preserve the views. Anyone can still pull up their boat and tie off! Because this is a calm area you won't (Well, probably won't! Bring your bumpers anyways just in case...) get much of the deep wave action from the big wake boats. Oh, by the way, if you get here and simply must check in with work (shame on you!!!) you can do so on some pretty snappy internet! It's not fiber fast, but we consistently get about 60mbs download and 25mbs upload speed.
The house is on lovely Pea Hill Creek (cue the angelic choir) which is known for flat lots and sandy beach areas and super clear water quality. Washburns marina is close by where you can get fuel, fishing tackle for the weekend fisherman, a scoop of ice cream, a surprisingly good cheeseburger and a properly made hot dog (mustard, chili, onions and slaw baby!!).
We think the house would be great for about 8 to 10 people. The "Master" has a slider that goes right out to the deck. Attached to the Master is an additional room with two twin beds. There is also a full bath linked to the Master and this additional room. On the other side of the house is another deck/water facing bedroom and adjacent to it on the back side of the home is the bunkroom seen in the pictures. There is a full hall bath available to these rooms and the main area of the home.
Better hurry! We think we will book quickly! Cozy to the moon and back, and easy on the wallet will make our little lakeside cabin a hot tamale this summer! ;)
You'll find the home fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans and about 80% of what most people need. If you need a specialty utensil or tool it might be best to bring it to avoid any hiccups to meal preparation. The management staff can assist with any special requests and is always available to help with whatever you need!
The bathrooms are stocked with courtesy soaps and shampoos designed for quick "off the shelf" use. Each bathroom has a roll of septic-friendly toilet tissue as a starter. Some use more, some use less. You are encouraged to bring whatever you feel you might need beyond the courtesy roll provided.
A few more tid-bits... :)
1. Trained service animals are welcome! Otherwise we have a strict no pets policy. We can help arrange lodging for your pets at a local shelter during your stay if you'd like; just give us a call!
2. The house, like 99% of all lake homes, uses a septic system. This system is a finely balanced biological system. Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper. Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.
3. Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Humminbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves. Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the pier with rental boats. You won't see much heavy wave action making it a safe haven for docking (make sure to bring your bumpers!)
