Enjoyed our getaway
We enjoyed our time at the rental. Great communication with hosts and very responsive to our needs. They even went so far as to buy a full size ironing board when they realized we were there for a quilt retreat with friends. Plenty of supplies and extra goodies. Great view and easy access to lake

Armstrong Cottage
The grill was very dirty & the grease trap must have been full, so when we tried to heat the grill, it caught on fire. We had to use a extinguisher to put it out. The cleaning lady adamantly claimed that she had cleaned it earlier but the tray under the grates was very dirty. However, the writeup on the cottage DID state that the grill is not part of the normal cleaning service. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful place to stay!
We loved our stay! The house had plenty of room for our three families including three kids. The house had everything we needed and so many extras to make our stay so fun and special! We loved taking the kayaks and canoes out and enjoyed the games in the garage. We took the kids to the public beach where the water is shallow and they had so much fun! We would recommend this house without hesitation!

Family reconnection
This is the second time we stayed at this property the first time in June 2021 and June 2023 and both times it was great. Our children are spread out all over the country being in the military, so it is really hard to get everyone together at the same time. The house is wonderful and very comfortable, feels like home as soon as you walk in. It is right on the lake on a very quiet back cove for fishing, swimming and tying the rental boat up. The back deck is very relaxing to be able enjoy the water view especially in the early morning and evenings. It has a fenced side yard with a swing set the for the little one's and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows for their smores. It has plenty of life jackets in all sizes plus a canoe and three kayak's to paddle around the cove. It has all the cooking equipment for any meal. We plan to come back as soon as we can. When we think of going to the lake house this is where we think of.

Great property!
This house was cozy and private. The only “issue” was that our pontoon is large and docking was difficult with the other pontoon already there. The owners were quick to answer questions and accommodating. We will definitely use this property again!

Relaxing getaway
The house was clean and very well equipped from kitchen items to toiletries and a welcoming basket of goodies. We enjoyed the 2 living room spaces. The outdoor deck accommodated 6 adults easily which was great because that's where we spent a lot of time. It was easy to communicate with the hosts.

Quiet and peaceful location
This was our 3rd year and 3rd location at Lake Gaston celebrating our annual family vacation.Denise and Gary not only provided a comfortable and clean home but they also provided excellent communication throughout our booking process, pre arrival and departure. Everything was in working order, the kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances, plenty of dishes, pots and pans and utensils. The grill was used multiple times. We enjoyed the extra fridge and freezer as well. Both sitting areas with large screen TVs were an asset as well. The location was conveniently located near the public boat launch, as well the grocery store was within about a 10 minute drive. We look forward to the opportunity to return next year.

Plenty of room for family with 3 married children!
We had a very fun 1st annual lake vacation at Idle Zone! When we weren’t out on our boat, The three levels of bedrooms, the garage games, and the kayaks/canoe all gave us plenty to take advantage of to make for a delightful family vacation. We even found the yard with room for some outdoor games. The driveway, though narrow, was a loop that made maneuvering the boat and trailer in and out simple and the extremely close boat ramp is public and super well kept! The dock is on a very quiet and still (almost too still) cove. Tying up at the dock was not a problem but was not the most convenient either. As we were informed ahead of time, the pontoon boat occupies the boathouse. Once out we were able to find smooth water nearby for wakeboarding, skiing, and tubing. This made it easy to return to the dock for lunch, or equipment/ people change out or just to relax. The dock was great for this especially since the trees provided some very nice shade during the day. The house is very close to the water and has nice decks we used to eat and gather. We used the kitchen every night and were all able to eat together around the table! Very important to us. Overall I highly recommend Idle Zone for a fun family lake vacation! Thank you Gary and Denise!
