About this property

Main Lake Luxury and spectacular panoramic views! Sleeps 8!

Approximately 2200 square feet in this waterfront spacious and private suite - first level of a large house, located in the beautiful Lake Gaston gated community of Harbor Landing where the views are million dollars and the homes are spectacular! Although guests have access to everything listed/pictured in this listing, that does not include the locked portion (upper level) that the owners never rent out upstairs. Upper level is NEVER occupied when this home is rented. Guests will have complete privacy and exclusive access to the property and boat house deck area (not lifts). If you are looking for MAIN LAKE private access with gorgeous sunset views, this house is it! The large primary bedroom features a four poster - king bed as well as a sitting area, desk/vanity, ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. The secondary bedrooms feature queen beds. Both front bedrooms feature remarkable lake front views. The third and fourth rooms have lake views as well but are not lake front rooms. The fourth room doubles as the theater room and has a Smart 65-inch wall-mounted flat-screen TV, a queen sleeper sofa and additional seating. The well-appointed kitchen is bright, open and airy. The living area features leather seating, a flat-screen TV and a full wall of windows that overlook Lake Gaston. In fact, sitting inside the home or out on the terrace, you feel like you are actually at the water's edge! Full size washer and dryer are included as is a portable crib, a Graco pack n' play and two highchairs. Down at the lake, a boat house with docking areas for your boat and/or PWC(s) features a sunning area as well as shaded spots. The kayak is there for your use, but you must provide your own life jackets in compliance with NC boating regulations and your safety. The depth of the water off of the boathouse is about 16 feet deep! A real treasure, that you can easily fit into the tales of your family memories!

About half a mile from the home, there is a community launch for ease of getting your boat and/or PWC to the boathouse.

We took our grands. They are tweens. Had a relaxing stay. Watched movies, sunsets, grilled, and built fires in the fire pit. Had s’mores by the fire after dinner. It was a clear night and magical.

Comfortable and spacious accommodations. Right on the lake. Literally only a few steps down which is an incredible treat. South side of the lake which allows for longer daylight time. Incredible experience!

Amazing vacation

We've stayed here a few times...it's amazing! They have done some updates and upgrades. The new rooftop deck on the the boat dock is perfect for evenings. The kids loved jumping off it as well. It's beautiful inside and out with great views of the lake and sunsets. We love staying here during the summer!

Amazing View

Beautiful home with an amazing porch and dock. Large, well-stocked kitchen was perfect for cooking in. Comfortable bedrooms and plenty of lounging space. Definitely off the grid - so be sure to bring anything you may need. Suggest bringing along some beach chairs for the dock if you want to spend time down there. We had a great weekend and would definitely go back!

Not super kid friendly

I was unaware when booking that you just get access to the downstairs and the upstairs of the house is locked and closed off. The downstairs area is very nice and does offer plenty of space, was just unaware of the circumstance. The view is wonderful!! We did come with multiple small children and the yard area is not very kid friendly. Very steep and multiple stairs and rocky. We throughly enjoyed the dock and swimming. The closest grocery store is over 30 minutes away so just not super convenient if needing to run out really quick. Very nice of the house to have kid items including pack and play and high chair.

Great Property

Our stay at the Heron House was great. The house was very large, clean and plenty of room out on the deck and dock. Would definitely come back next year if its available. Only recommendation I would have is for the owner to provide more pots and larger skillets for cooking. There was really only one small skillet and was hard to cook breakfast and dinners with one skillet. Overall, its a great place with an unreal view.

Everything was exceptional - from communications with the owner, cleaning services, and property itself. Instructions for check-in and check-out were very thorough and clear. Great location on Lake Gaston as a launch point for water recreation, including fishing. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Rental

Great view of the lake (none better). Excellent accommodations. Marianne was very responsive to our questions and requests. It should be noted that the only entrance available for renters is the lake side (back side) of the house, so you need to carry all luggage and supplies around to the back of the house.

Fantastic Lake Getaway!

The pictures do not do this property justice. My family and I had an absolutely amazing time of relaxation and fun. The house was really nice and clean. The property is hidden away in a gate community that is really nice and beautiful. The dock is great and offers a great spot to fish. We caught catfish, bass and brim right off of the dock. The sunsets are absolutely amazing. One night we watched a movie in the theatre room which was great too. The property owner was very quick to respond to any questions that I had during our stay. We are definitely looking forward to coming back in the future.

Spring break getaway

The location of this rental was awesome! Beautiful views from almost every room and gorgeous sunset views every day of our trip. The only issue we had is that we brought our boat with us and the drive way could not accommodate our vehicle and trailer. Our host gave us a parking option in an empty cul-de-sac near by, so it worked out. This is a must see rental, the pictures don't do it justice.

Excellent location right at the water

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Christmas. The layout of the house was perfect for us - master suite to one side of the house and the other bedrooms to the other, with the living area/kitchen in the middle. Most rooms had gorgeous views of the lake. The porch is fantastic and we sat out a bit even with the cold temps. Our only issue was that the wifi was spotty and didn't work at all on our last day. Other than that, our stay was perfect and we do plan to return (in the summer or fall).

About the host

Hosted by Marianne

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 who cherish our times at Lake Gaston. Something about being on the water all day really bonds the family, and creates lasting memories. To us, grilling and watching the sun set at the end of a lake day is a treasured family tradition.

We purchased the land in 2000 and built the house in 2004, but didn't finish the lower level until 2014. We have loved sharing the lake house with others, and receiving pictures of fish they've caught, sunsets they have been witness to and treasured family gatherings.

Why they chose this property

We chose Lake Gaston because lake life has always been important in our family through the generations. Our hope is that you will feel relaxed, rejuvenated and invigorated as you enjoy yourself in a luxurious setting with unforgettable views, in the hopes that you can create your own lasting memories. We place ourselves in your shoes in order to serve our Guests in the best and most comfortable way.

What makes this property unique

Heron House features an intimate space for smaller friend/family gatherings and allows guests to have the "main lake" experience, without the McMansion main lake pricing, and weekly minimum requirements, while maintaining a luxurious, fun-filled, and relaxing atmosphere. This allows for more meaningful time to spend with your friends and family, and of course allows Heron House to be an affordable vacation destination. The lake is so close that sitting on the patio feels as though you're at the water's edge. Getting to and from the entrance to the home is without steps and the rental is a single level. From the home to the boathouse features minimal stairs for ease of access. And...new for '22...is a wood burning fire pit with plenty of bench seating.
