This is our third time staying at this lovely home. Right on the water and very close to boat ramp. We can bring our fur babies too. Owners are so nice and flexible. Everything you need is there. Kayaks included. We will be back.

Best rental at Lake Gaston!
We've stayed at this lake house for several years and it's always comfortable, clean and relaxing. The back porch is perfect for meals and fellowship and the lake side view is beautiful. We always enjoy using the kayaks and paddle boards. This trip we caught a few cat fish, shell crackers, bream and white perch while kayaking. Thank you Pat for another wonderful vacation! We look forward to returning in the spring!

The cottage met all our needs. The access to the lake was great. Enjoyed fishing and reading in the swing on the dock. The weather wasn’t the greatest but used time indoors to read and plan for fall. We enjoyed trip to Sylvan Bird Sanctuary. About an hour away

Clean Cottage Great Area
This cottage is magical. The perfect blend of a country cottage with all the modern conveniences in a great location. The entire cottage was spotless. Crisp sheets and bath towels were provided. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. There is a gravel walk down to the pier where we loved floating in the water and watching the sunrise each day. Check in and check out was well explained and all questions were answered. Close to Food lion for any items we needed. Loved our time staying here on the lake.

Nice Getaway
Host (Pat) responded timely when we had questions & seemed genuinely interested in helping us make the most of our vacation. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and it was clean upon arrival. The linens were fresh & looked fairly new. (We’ve stayed at other homes in past where that was not the case). It was nice not having to pack bedding & towels nor wash linens when we left. The house is small with only one full bath (downstairs) but it worked fine for us this trip. Seniors & those with small children or handicaps should note that all bedrooms are located downstairs & a narrow spiral staircase is the only back exit from the upper deck. Again this wasn’t problematic for us but it could be for others. We loved floating at the dock and the host supplied plenty of lake toys for us to enjoy. The covered dock was not wide enough for our small boat to enter but there was enough space on pier right beside it to dock our boat on water during our stay. Also, loading was easy since the boat ramp is located just a few yards away. We enjoyed spending time on the back covered deck & on the swing at the dock. We are already looking forward to our next visit! Thanks again Pat!

Love this Littleton getaway spot
Once again, had a wonderful time staying at Pat’s place. We love so many things about the property, including the easy and quick walk down to the water / dock area, use of kayaks and water toys, convenient neighborhood boat ramp literally yards from the house, huge outdoor deck right off living area with view of lake, and super comfortable and clean living area inside that includes a fantastic AC system that keeps up with the Summer Gaston temps. Thank you for your hospitality, Pat - you’re a wonderful host and we appreciate you !!

Terrific Lakefront Property!
Walk right into water, no mucky bottom, & deep in middle of cove. Easy to launch provided floats, kayaks, & SUPs. Waterfront yard is grassy & flat w/ several shady areas throughout the day to get out of sun. House is clean & comfortable - bed & LR furniture as comfy as my own. Although large deck is unscreened, no issues w/ mosquitoes/bugs. Nice & quiet neighborhood.

Fun at the lake
We had a wonderful stay. The home is clean and very well stocked with every thing you need, inside and out. Lots of towels, beds clean and made. Kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets also. Being able to bring our furry friends is a wonderful plus! We brought our boat and the launch is very close. This is our second time visiting and hope to get back soon!

Wonderful!
This is such a a great place to get "away from it all"! There are fun floats available, and paddleboards and kayaks if you're more adventurous. The house itself is nestled in some trees right on the lake. The screened porch is perfect for morning coffee, and there is a nice gravel path down to the water. You can walk right into the water from the shoreline. We spent the majority of our time in the water. We brought our 1-year old dog and she got to swim for the first time! There is plenty of kitchen stuff available, and the interior is clean and comfy. Not to mention how kind and gracious the host is!! Thanks so much, Pat! We definitely hope to return! #lakelife

Our favorite vacation get away!
We've rented this home for several years as it's perfect for our family. House is located in a quiet cove and is always clean and comfortable. Pat is the best host we've ever worked with which makes our stay even better! Our older children loved the new paddle boards and we all enjoyed the new couches. We always enjoy fishing from the kayaks. This year we caught a few bass, bream and shell crackers, The big catch of the week were 3 catfish over 30 inches each on light tackle while kayaking. Each one put up a good fight but we were able to land them after a long battle! When not fishing or kayaking or paddle boarding we love relaxing by the water's edge with our family and enjoying the beautiful views. Thank you Pat for another wonderful vacation!

Fishing Trip to Lake Gaston
This is our second stay at this property and we just love it! The house is clean, the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. The grocery store is a short drive and a bakery is just down the street. We brought our dogs and we were allowed to put our boat under cover at the dock which is so convenient. The boat ramp is within walking distance. The fishing is unbelievable and as long as we fish Lake Gaston we will stay at this property. Thank you, Pat, for your hospitality.

We always look forward to staying at this comfortable home located on a quiet cove close to the Food Lion. There's a nice grassy spot with shade or sun by the water's edge where the kayaks can be easily launched. We caught several bream, catfish, and small bass from the kayaks and dock.

Looking for a relaxing lake vacation, you found it
We stayed at this location for 11 days, and rented a pontoon boat to enjoy the lake. Our 2 dogs joined us and had a blast at the water front beach. The house is older but very clean and well equipped. The location is perfect as you are minutes away from the main lake, and close to waterfront restaurants. We had a beautiful 12 days enjoying the outside location. Communication with the owner(Pat) was fast and great. Thank you for our family to make another set of great memories

Nice Relaxing Stay
We enjoyed a nice relaxing getaway at "Away From It All". The cottage was very comfortable and in a good location. Unfortunately, our family could not make it due to a family emergency. So we had to leave a day early. Our communication with the owner was very "on spot". Pat was very helpful before, during, and after our stay! She answered many questions that we had and made our stay that much better! Thanks for the goodie basket! It was very much appreciated! Would highly recommend this cottage!

Hidden gem
We had a wonderful time under the pines at Lake Gaston. Beautifully hidden from the lake, but great views from the dock. The pool and community access point was a bonus. The owner very welcoming and communicates well. The house had everything we needed and more kitchen supplies, games, kayaks etc. House is exactly as described and well worth the visit. Would recommend and can't wait to stay again!
