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 (as long as they are up to date on shot records which must be provided) at a local boarding facility during your stay, if you'd like; just give us a call...way in advance, as they fill up fast!

2.  The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, 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 Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves.  Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boats.(make sure to bring your bumpers!).

4.  Culverts & Bridges:  Be sure to lower your Bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts.  Appearances can be deceiving!

5. Security Camera Disclosure:  We take your privacy very seriously.  However, this home is monitored by exterior security cameras. Cameras are located in the following areas:
One exterior, motion activated Ring camera which covers our driveway and parking area only in order to confirm visitors and deliveries

Great 2 story dock - wish it was sunnier in the afternoon!

great water gear, 2 sup and 2 kayaks. everythign was easy to access. and LAUNDRY, cominng from Asheville this was a great feature. Communication was a little slow to confirm any needs for the property, but that was most likely due to the influx of renters with hurricane helene. Was glad to have a place to take a needed respite from no water, no power, no internet. Place was clean and lovely and well stocked. There are in fact 2 fridges, with one in the downstairs. :D
