About this property

🌞 Multiple Family Friendly, Modern Lake House On Deep-Water Cove, 2 Kayaks 🌞

Immaculate modern lake house on deep-water cove just minutes by boat to Jimmy’s Creek and Pea Hill Creek. Beautiful safe cove with main lake views can be seen from the living and dining areas, as well as enjoyed while relaxing on the screened porch. Enjoy night-time fun around the new fire-pit!

The main floor has an open concept with seating for 4 at the granite topped island as well as a separate dining, opening to the living area. Hardwood floors, stainless appliances and granite counters create this modern home away from home, filled with amenities. The main floor master bedroom has a king size bed and a walk in closet. The master bath has a whirlpool tub and separate shower.

Upstairs has 2 large bedrooms, one with bunk beds and a Full (New 2019) bed and the other with a queen size bed and a lake view. These rooms share a large full bath & tub/shower with plenty of storage.

The lower level has a private room with a queen size bed, a furnished game room and an additional full size futon. The lower level also has a full bath. The game room is equipped with a flat screen TV a game cube and ping pong table. There is a walk out to a covered patio for outdoor dining, just steps to the lake. The Weber gas is also available for your cookouts. The kids will be entertained with a ping pong table, TV and Wii. Like the kitchen, all baths are upgraded with granite counters and new cabinets creating a modern feel.

The large dock has 8 feet of water depth, and offers two areas for boat tie-up for your use. Water depth is 3 feet at the steps near the shore to 8 feet at the outer edge of the dock. The calm water cove allows for safe swimming, floating, kayaking and paddle-boarding for worry free water play.

The landscaped back yard is perfect for badminton or Frisbee. The Lantana bushes attract butterflies and hummingbirds in the summer and at night chase the fireflies in the yard with the little ones.

Just a few miles to the public boat launch, there is ample space for multiple vehicles and your boat trailer on our property. Washburn's Mariana is also nearby for your boating needs (and a great morning biscuit!)

Great House For Families

This house was perfect for our family. It was clean, had plenty of room, and well stocked. The dock and water access were great. We loved the “shallow end” for the little ones to swim in without their life jackets or floats. The cove was nice and quiet. Owners communicated very well and quickly.

Great House, Great Location

Beautiful home with everything we needed, in an amazing location - barely off the main lake. We loved being able to hop on the boat at the last minute to catch the sunset. We also loved coffee on the screened-in deck with a fabulous view, late afternoons on the dock, evenings making food together at the grill or in the kitchen, and nights at the fire pit and/or basement TV for Wii bowling. We were an over-18 crowd, with our kids and their significant others, but there is definitely something for all ages at this house. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Another great vacation

Our family had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful property. The weather was perfect so we could enjoy all the lake activities. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and swimming from the pier. We brought our own boat so we were also able to take the kids tubing on the lake. We love the screened porch with the best view. The house is spacious and nicely furnished. There are tvs on the basement and main levels.

Tranquil with a view

The house was very well stocked. We didn’t need to buy any toiletries during the week. The screened in porch was my favorite spot in the house. It had a great view of the lake. The dock had plenty of chairs & we used the kayaks several times. We were able to dock our boat on the dock which was great & we went to several restaurants. All in all a great house & vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Ronnie Bouchon

Host profile image
Hi Ronnie and I fell in love with Lake Gaston at first glance. After 20 years in Raleigh and spending time at the ocean, we were introduced to Lake Gaston, just 90 minutes from our home. It was an awakening back to our childhoods where lakes were the family vacation destination. We spent every weekend here at the Lake, bringing friends for fun and fellowship. Our girls learned to ski, wakeboard and tube, of course! They earned their boaters licenses before their drivers license and jet skied through the coves experiencing adventure and fun. Family reunions with our children, father, siblings, nieces and nephews are wonderful memories to reflect on and look forward to again! Our most recent and best memory was in May our daughters now fiancé popped the question on the dock and "she said yes"! Our home is filled with love and the hope of a relaxing (albeit sometimes very active) get away from work and day to day responsibilities. A place where you can reunite, relax and reflect. Although the house was built in 2002, it was fully updated in 2013. Now when you open the front door you are met with completely modern and updated wood flooring, cabinetry, granite surfaces and hardware. It is designed to be a home away from home with all the comforts.

Why they chose this property

As a working mom, vacations take a lot of planning and expense. Hotels and rentals can be stressful and sometimes disappoint when the description doesn't live up to the reality. Our place is meant to impress and is designed and furnished to make you feel at home immediately. The opening word on our description is Immaculate. Followed by updated. You will relax at first glance knowing you have a beautiful, clean and safe haven allowing you to start you vacation now!

For the family fun, we are only 3 miles from the public launch and are on a private cove with 8 homes. At the dock stairs you can walk out into the lake and so it is safe for playing in the shallow areas, then at the end of the dock it is deep enough for cannonballs and jumping. The water is calm in the cove and safe to swim and float.

We are nestled in Four Seasons Neighborhood where you can enjoy morning walks. Only a short drive to a grocery, pharmacy and restaurants. During the summer a farmers market opens for fresh produce as well as mini golf for the kids.

What makes this property unique

Many gathering spaces! Room for the family and room for a get away!

A downstairs game room and private bedroom is perfect for the kids after a long day on the water. Ping pong tournaments are a family favorite for kids and adults alike. The adults can gather upstairs in the living area or on the screened porch overlooking the lake. Upstairs bedrooms also provide space and privacy for the family and guests and a place to relax.

For the avid fisherman (or woman) the lake offers a wide variety of game fish and pan fish. Throw a line off the dock and take a chance on a record breaking catch like the 40 lb. catfish caught by a neighbor around the corner. There is something for everyone at Lake Gaston and the perfect family spot is our home.
