About this property

LAKE HOUSE AND PONTOON BOAT IN BEAUTIFUL POE CREEK COVE AT LAKE GASTON

This is a great vacation home on the perfect Poe Creek! The house has 3 floors with great views on every floor. A renovation and addition was completed on the house May 2016.

Big spacious 2020 Benington 25’ Tri-toon with a 150 h.p. Yamaha engine available to rent. Bluetooth stereo, fish finder/depth gauge, ski bar, table, bimini top. Boat includes all safety equipment including life jackets. Local rentals charge $2,000+ week, this boat is available at $1,500 per week (summer season rate) and at the dock when you get there! The boat rental fee for off-season months is $250 per night and is required for the entirety of your stay- no partial rentals. Boat rental is available March-November. The boat is not included in the rental fee, so please make sure to inquire about adding on the boat rental if you choose to. If you choose to rent the boat, you must do so for the entirety of your stay.

MAIN FLOOR is an open floor plan with a 47' LCD TV, Blu-ray player, open family room, updated kitchen, full bath and 2 bedrooms (one queen bed, one king bed). The main deck area off the house is on this floor with a 480 sq. ft. screened in porch and gas grill.

UPSTAIRS: Has 2 bedrooms and a full bath. The master has a beautiful view of the lake with a queen bed. The other bedroom sleeps 6 in bunk beds.

BASEMENT: Has a pool table with a convertible ping pong table, large flat screen TV, blu ray DVD, large leather sectional, 2 bedrooms, full bath and the laundry room. One bedroom has a king-size bed and the other has a queen-size bed and a bunk bed. Added in May 2023, Multicade Arcade Machine with Pacman and 40 other games.

OUTSIDE: The boat house was rebuilt in March 2017. The boat house has a covered area with two boat lifts and a slip to the side to tie up a 3rd boat or jet ski. There are 4 kayaks and 2 paddle boards. The boat lift, kayaks, and paddle boards are available for use. The main deck on the lower level is spacious and has a covered picnic table and a diving board. The swimming area is private and protected from boats by the neighboring property. The water is shallow at the bulkhead for younger children to stand in and swim and the water at the end of the dock is 12 feet deep for the diving board and jumping off the top deck.

Pickleball Court beginning in September of 2024. We have made a Pickleball Court in our cul-da-sac (see pictures) and we have a net and racquets and balls available for your use.

There are 2 marinas on the lake for gas, good food and boat rentals. This house is honestly one of the best coves on the lake!

The boat ramp is about 7 miles away from house. Take highway 158 toward Roanoke Rapids. Turn left onto Myrick Estates Rd and then right on Bluebird Rd which will take you to the ramp.

Each year we are excited to give 100% of our rental revenue from this lake house to a charity that makes a difference. This year we are happy to support work of Compassion International. Compassion is the world’s leading authority in holistic child development through sponsorship. They work across 39 countries to resource and empower local churches to release children from poverty. They currently have more than 2.2 million children enrolled but the need is still great. If you would like to learn more about sponsoring a child please visit https://www.compassion.com/sponsor_a_child/?referer=639275. Thank you!

Offsite meeting with colleagues

I took my leadership team for an offsite strategy meeting in December. The bedrooms were comfortable. The living room, screened in porch, patio/fire pit, game room, and kitchen were great places to have formal and informal discussions.Because it was winter, we did not get to enjoy the dock, but the location and views were very nice.

Great stay!

Property was as pictured with all amenities. Responsive property management! A little problem with the refrigerator in main kitchen but the one downstairs worked well for what we needed on our last day. Beautiful views and the fire pit was terrific since it was so cold out! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic place

If I could have given it more than five stars, I would have. The house is clean. It has everything you need. The owners are responsive. We had a great time. There was room for everybody to come together, but we could separate when we wanted to. My son and his family had the upper level. My daughter and her family had the lower level, and I had the middle level. The aquapad was a huge hit, so was the boat. You cannot go wrong renting this house and I hope we'll be able to rent it again in the future

Better than we imagined

Better than we imagined and we were excited before we came. The pictures don't do the house justice. Plenty of room inside and outside. We rented the pontoon boat... a must. Such a huge value add. Very grateful to be able to gather, relax and enjoy. Highly Recommend!

We stayed there for a week in 2023 and again this year. It meets all of our needs. The screened in front porch is stellar and we ate several meals there. We love the dock and sitting on top. There are no negatives for our fishing and golfing crew.

Really liked the layout of the house with 2 bedrooms on each floor. Great view from the living room and can imagine how fun the property is in warm weather. We still enjoyed ourselves on a rainy weekend in January. More parking than we expected as well.

We rent this property every year and it is always incredibly relaxing and perfect. The home is warm and inviting, spotlessly clean, and well stocked for everything we need.

Beautiful Home in Perfect Location

Our family loves this home in Poe Creek Cove! The house was clean and equipped with everything our family needed for the week. The location was perfect for swimming, jumping into the lake and riding jet skis. The owners were responsive and left very clear instructions. Our family of 10 had a perfect week at the lake!

Spacious and Well-Appointed

The home was perfect for our inaugural three generation family vacation that included 8 adults, 1 teen, a 3 yr old, and 4 children under 3 including a newborn. We did have 2 disappointments in that a spa/whirlpool/hot tub was not an on-site amenity nor was there a sandy beach. The kitchen sink was very difficult/tricky to completely turn off and should be attended to considering the sensitivity of the septic. But truly, it is a lovely property, spotlessly cleaned, and very comfortable! We also enjoyed the 2 paddle boards (included with the kayaks) and we rented the pontoon boat from the owners as well. The boat was perfect for our family, too! Nearby Goat Island provided the sandy beach we wanted for our littlest people; be sure to visit there during your stay!

Top notch lakefront rental

I can't say enough good things about this property. From the moment we walked in, we knew this was going to be a great week. Our three tweens were even more excited. They loved the ping pong table/pool table, as well as the arcade game. We all enjoyed the screened porch and ate many meals out there. The boat dock had a picnic table as well as additional chairs for relaxing by the water and watching kids play on the floating mat and jumping from the second level of the dock. The house was located in a very nice cove and had ample room for us to feel comfortable swimming. Mary was quick to answer our questions. This home had many small touches that gave the feeling of staying in someone's home. We look forward to our visit next year.

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Mary Vande Guchte

Host profile image
We are the parents of 5 and the grandparents of 8. We love our getaways to Lake Gaston and enjoy the water at all times of the day. This home holds a special place in our hearts with many great memories. Definitely one of the greatest parts of our lakehouse is the water. It is 12 feet deep at the end of our dock and our cove is great for waterskiing or heading out to the main lake for waves for tubing. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The home sold us on the location and the great views from each floor! We can't say it enough, Poe Creek is the best cove on the lake! It is ideal to be able to swim and boat right off the dock. It is amazing to relax on one of the many decks and just watch the day go by and the sunset, it is truly a getaway!

What makes this property unique

One of the best things about this house is how it feels like a home. It is the perfect getaway for you or your whole family. You will not be disappointed!
