Great trip

We had an absolutely perfect stay at the lake house! Everything was exactly as described, and it comfortably accommodated all 16 of us, ranging in age from 8 to 72. The house had all the amenities we needed, and the views were stunning. Edie, the owner, was super helpful and incredibly responsive throughout our stay, making sure everything was just right. It was a wonderful time for everyone, and we can't wait to come back!

Beautiful home and property

We have vacationed in Lake Gaston for 5 years. We absolutely love this area and the beautiful lake. However, this was our first year at ‘Floating and Boatin’, and it beyond surpassed our expectations. The home is so beautiful. The views of the lake make mornings on the porch heavenly, and the dock with its many toys impressed all of us from age 4 to age 76! I could go on forever…By far one of my favorite stays at Lake Gaston. Thank you Edie and Steve for a wonderful core memory vacation.

Weekend at the lake

Excellent!! Place worked great for our whole family. Grandkids spent a lot of time on the floating mat or the Big Bubba we rented. Having kayaks and stand up paddle boards was a treat. The house had so many things inside for entertainment as well. Edie was great at communicating and a pleasure to deal with.

We have been vacationing at Lake Gaston for years and decided it was time to own a piece of paradise! This home is stocked everything we wanted while vacationing from indoor activities to outdoor fun! We stay at "Floatin & Boatin" every chance we get, all year long! There's always something to do or see throughout the year at the Lake!

Why they chose this property

We viewed many homes and this property fit our wish list! The layout is perfect for our large family with 2 living areas. Gentle slope to the water, gorgeous views, double dock w/10' depth and private 1 acre point lot on Great Creek.

What makes this property unique

Living area with 2 kitchens makes it easy for large families to have separate areas to entertain or relax. Amazing water views from almost every room in the home.
