Great vacation!

This was our first visit to Lake Gaston. The Golden Sunset Cottage was perfect for our vacation. The location was great being in the cove, set back in away from boat traffic and a nice spot for the kids to swim off the dock and fish. It was a short distance to the main part of the lake for boating. The house was perfect for our family group of 5 adults and 6 kids. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We all enjoyed the screened in porch and morning view of the lake. Communication with our hostess Erin was great! She was very responsive with any questions/concerns we had.

Week at the lake

My husband and I took our two teenage sons and eight of their friends to Lake Gaston for a week. We stayed in the Golden Sunset Cottage. There were 12 people and 2 dogs total. There was plenty of space for everyone. The boys loved hanging out on the dock, playing on the float pad, kayaking, swimming, and floating in the water. When inside, it was nice to have the downstairs space for the kids to hang out. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable. No complaints from us! Our adventure with 10 teenagers was great. The boys wanted to know if we could come back later this summer. :)

Close to Paradise

We had an amazing week at Golden Sunset Cottage! The house was immaculate and roomy. Their screened porch (with a ceiling fan) gave us hours of comfortable reading, computer work and birdwatching. The beds were comfortable and the sheets soft. I have trouble doing stairs but these were designed perfectly with bannisters all the way along the steps. There were enough stairs for me to get to the lake and onto the dock. The lake was warm but refreshing and very clean. No leeches. The dogs we like kids and didn't want to get out of the water! We prepared all our meals but 2 in a well-equipped kitchen. One dinner we had out was at the Blue Jay Cafe, a bit pricey but work every penny. The food and service was on a par with what we've had in cosmopolitan areas. Thank you for a wonderful opportunity. We hope to see you again!

OK

We had someone parked in our driveway and using the dock and equipment our next to last day. That was surprising, but they left when we went to the dock. I'm guessing it was the owner's kids or friends of the family. Excellent location on the lake. Great equipment available for lake activities. This is the type of house just for sleeping and then you spend your time outside. Which is exactly what some people are looking for. This is not a luxury house. There is 1 comfortable bed and the couches are better quality too. The others sink right to the box springs. The front door is difficult to open. You must take all trash to the dump or with you. That was shocking for the price. The house is average with poor insulation and low-quality paint that makes the walls sweat. You absolutely cannot WFH here. The wifi only works after midnight-about 5am. Streaming is available, but will not work due to poor wifi. There is not a DVD player so the TVs are only good at certain times, when the internet works. One wasn't even plugged in. There are board games and a pool table. Not our cup of tea and we won't be going back.

Awesome getaway for a family

My family and I spent Thanksgiving here and we really enjoyed our stay. The host got back to me quickly when I reached out to her on a minor issue. The view was amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots and pans to prepare our meals. Cell service wasn’t the best but we didn’t mind because we kept ourselves busy playing pool and other games.

Relaxing and beautiful setting!

Beautiful home on Lake Gaston! The kitchen had everything you’d need and the home is nicely decorated and the beds were comfy. We didn’t get to use the outdoor games or equipment due to the weather but it was well stocked. The only down side was that the Internet connection was a bit weak, but fortunately we were only there for a short time. The host was very quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. Would stay there again!

Four generations at Lake Gaston

Our extended family had a wonderful week at the lake. The fishing from the dock make our fishing folks very happy while others preferred swimming and paddle boarding. The screened porch was a favorite gathering area and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our only concern was the condition of the driveway, but we made it work. Thanks soooo much for sharing your lake house with us!

Quick getaway

We absolutely loved the location of the house. The cove was perfect for the kids to kayak and paddle board and also the perfect place for them to learn to water ski. The house was well stocked with everything we would need to cook all of our meals at the house. The only complaint was the cleanlinesss of the house. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned upon our arrival. There were also many bugs on the bottom floor. The floors were dirty and it didn’t seem like the sheets had been washed after the previous visit. Besides the cleanliness we would def recommend this house and would absolutely rent it again.

Quiet, yet FUN!

The house is located in a quiet cove which was perfect for our large blended family. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board included in the rental. Our week at the lake was comfortable because the house was perfectly sized for our family of 11. The owners were very helpful and answered questions in a timely manner. We would definitely rent this property again.
