Come and enjoy all that Lake Gaston has to offer in our spacious house located on a quiet cove right off main lake. We are located on the waterfront with private two-story dock with 10-12 feet of water! Feel free to rent a boat or bring your own and tie it up to the boat cleats. This house is the perfect location - quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants, and stores.

KITCHEN - The kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need to cook for your family including stainless steel pots and pans, cast iron skillet, baking sheets, casserole dishes, and much more! Also, everything you need to serve the meal is provided (plates, bowls, cups, wine glasses, silverware, etc.) A stand alone ice maker has recently been installed. There is an eight-person dining table with two additional barstools or utilize our deck with a dining table and chairs.
FAMILY ROOM - The family room has a wood burning fireplace with a large reclining couch and love seat. The large TV comes with a firestick with access to YouTube TV (live TV and recordings). You can also log into your streaming services. Enjoy the board games and puzzles located in the cabinet under the stairs.
Also, on the main level, you will have a recently remodeled full bath, a bedroom with king size bed, and a laundry room with full size washer and dryer. There is highchair located in the closet.
