Hi! I'm Don. I have 3 grown sons (and their families) who love vacations. We found Lake Gaston 5 years ago and fell in love with the clean and warm water. We decided to make it our dream home and found "Awesome Sunsets" through a realtor turned friend. We're new to renting our home, but Bob, our co-host, has been a huge help. We want your vacation to be amazing, and we welcome your suggestions and ideas. Thanks for choosing "Awesome Sunsets"
