Nice place for two small families

Large bedrooms with king beds, nice walk in shower in the main en suite bath.Plenty of room for two families of 4. The kitchen is well appointed and perhaps a little small, but pretty workable for a short term rental. We did not swim, but the dock offers afternoon shade and a nice place to enjoy the lake view.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely with plenty of room to both spread out and all be together when desired. It was my husband and I, and our two adult children with a friend each. All of us had a blast fishing, relaxing in the water, and having a ping-pong tournament. The cove was quiet and we all really enjoyed ourselves. I think this will become an annual trip for us.

Great Family Vacation

We had a wonderful few days at Serenity. The home was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. We had fun with the games in the garage, took out the kayaks and enjoyed s'mores at the fire pit. Kitchen was very well stocked, which was a real bonus. Thanks for a great weekend and we hope to come back!

Great Vacation Home

This home is laid out really well for a couple of families to share. On each side of the home are two bedrooms and a bath, so it can be private. Living area in the middle. Host was great with good communication.

Great property with plenty to do!

The house was perfect for our short stay during a wedding in the area. Although it was November, the temperature was mild so we could walk around the neighborhood and enjoy playing cards and board games in the evening. I loved the layout of the house and all the extras included. I would highly recommend this property!

Family getaway

This house was a beautiful, peaceful, haven located just a short walk away from beautiful Lake Gaston. The view was breathtaking and relaxing. We enjoyed time on the lake with the kayaks you provided, made smores around the firepit, and played many fun games inside the house with the many games that were available. Will definitely be back!

Relaxing time at the lake.

We had a wonderful long weekend at lake Gaston and found the house very comfortable. We found the bed in the main master to be very soft so slept in the 2nd room with a king bed that was firm. Every thing was very comfy and enjoyable. The lake has easy access down a gentle gravel path to the dock and steps to ease into the lake ahhhhh. Very comfy home and quite comfy. We are not big cooks so found the supplies to be just fine. We would joyfully return!! Just lovely.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway!

Our family came from different states to celebrate Thanksgiving and we felt completely comfortable and welcome at this home. It was spacious and welcoming and pulling off Thanksgiving dinner was easy with their well-stocked kitchen. We loved the backyard with the firepit, dock and kayacks. The master bath tub provided some much-needed "me" time. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Serenity

Mark was a fabulous host, very accommodating and he met all of our needs. Despite the noise from the landscaping company cutting trees we were able to have a peaceful, restful week. The property has ease of access to stores, wineries, and restuarants. Every person we encountered was also very friendly. I would recommend a visit to this beautiful lake.
