Perfect Lake Getaway

My family of four (plus friends) had an amazing stay at this house in Lake Gaston. The house easily accommodated everyone in their own bed, and it never felt crowded. The kids were able to bring friends and we were able to have a few other family members join us easily. The house feels new and the decks and boathouse are fantastic. One of the best parts of the house is the screened in porch that looks over the lake where we were able to sit and read and keep an eye on the kids having a blast on the water trampoline. The house also has views out into the main lake while still being tucked a bit in a cove – so you get the best of both. Additionally, the neighborhood is unique and a definite plus. If anyone is a walker or runner, the Ferncliff neighborhood where this house is located is great for walking and running. (I'm a runner and could go on 6+ mile runs without worrying about traffic.) Definitely unique for Lake Gaston! Finally, the hosts were amazing. Incredibly responsive and kind. Easy 5-star review.

Wonderful Respite!

Luxury On The Lake lived up to it's posting! The home is open and welcoming, outdoor areas were spot on perfect for relaxed family time. You will love the dock area, with trampoline, paddle boat, kayaks, and so much more. There are 4 full bedrooms with other futons that open to sleeping space. The two laundry rooms were especially nice with a large family. We loved it and hope to return again in the future.

Perfect Family Destination!

We had three families in our party, and it was a perfect setup with wonderful amenities for everyone. The boathouse is where we spent most of our time, there was plenty of room for everyone to relax, and the kids loved the trampoline, kayaks, and paddle boards. The dock is even large enough for two boats to tie up. Communication with Bruce was phenomenal! One of the A/C compressors went out the first night we were there (no fault of the owner) and Bruce had an HVAC company there the next afternoon, on a Saturday of a holiday weekend! He even brought a portable A/C unit to help with the load until the compressor could be repaired. We also loved the fire pit and the screened in porch. Overall it was a wonderful trip with fantastic memories and a well-appointed home. Highly recommended. If you bring your own boat there is a neighborhood ramp only 1/4 mile away. You will need to back your trailer down Sleepy Hollow Rd. to the driveway as there isn't enough room to turn around if you drive in straight, but this wasn't an issue.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I am Kathleen. My husband Bruce and I are thrilled to share The Great Escape with families and friends looking to make unforgettable memories at Lake Gaston!

As a longtime lake lover, we know firsthand how special time on the water can be—whether it’s early morning coffee on the dock, kids laughing on the water trampoline, or evenings by the firepit under the stars. That’s why we love this home and have poured so much care into creating a special place that’s not just a rental, but a true retreat—beautifully furnished, thoughtfully stocked, and designed for fun, comfort, and connection.

We take great pride in maintaining The Great Escape to the highest standards, ensuring it’s always clean, welcoming, and ready for your stay. In return, we ask that guests treat it as their own—respecting the space, the lake, and the experience for future visitors.

Our goal is for you to feel at home from the moment you arrive and to leave with memories that last a lifetime. I’m always just a message away if you need anything, and we can’t wait to host you at Lake Gaston!

Welcome to your home away from home—The Great Escape awaits!

Why they chose this property

Before finding The Great Escape, we spent years visiting Lake Gaston, renting different homes in search of the perfect spot. Time and time again, we were drawn back to this exclusive neighborhood in the southeast quadrant of the lake. It offered everything we loved—breathtaking main-lake views, a quiet cove for safe swimming, and a wonderful sense of community.

We knew this was where we wanted to be and when we finally found this beautiful home, we knew it was the one. We’ve since poured our hearts into making it a comfortable, welcoming, and fun-filled retreat for our family—and now, for yours.

Just a short drive from The Great Escape, downtown Littleton is a hidden gem with small-town charm, great dining, and unique local shops. Stroll through Main Street and explore boutique stores, antique and artisan markets filled with one-of-a-kind finds.

Food lovers will enjoy delicious local restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries, while craft beer enthusiasts can stop by Lake Gaston Brewing Company for a refreshing drink. Don’t miss the Lakeland Cultural Arts Center, which hosts live performances and events throughout the year.

We truly believe this is one of the best locations on Lake Gaston, offering the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, fun activities, and easy lake access. We hope you love it as much as we do!
