Lkn, pet friendly! Boat rental! Deep quiet cove!

5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews4 months ago

Great stay. Very clean, well equipped, amenities were as advertised and well maintained. House was in great location - very near restaurants, stores, and lake norman park (great hiking trails). Communication with host and co-host was very responsive. The game room was a hit! Adults, kids, and grandkids all played pool, air hockey, and foosball. Grandkids loved the paddleboards. And the hot tub was very nice for unwinding. For Thanksgiving dinner - having 2 refrigerators and ovens for meal prep was a lifesaver! Only feedback I have is it would be nice if the game room was heated. And the fenced back yard was not as large as we expected (as it looked in the picture) but it worked out ok for the 2 dogs. All in all a great time had by all - including the dogs - and it was a great Thanksgiving! Would recommend staying here!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 73 reviews1 month ago

This was our second stay and we loved it just as much as the first time. The house is clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view, and our dog had the best time running around in the big, fenced in backyard. Location is great, on a quiet street walking distance to a couple of restaurants and an ice cream shop, and just a couple minutes drive over the bridge to the beach. We will definitely be back!

Dock & Private Boat Ramp w/flat yard

5 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews4 months ago

This was our family’s second visit to Jennifer’s Lake Gaston house for Thanksgiving and we so enjoyed our time there! The house is spacious with a beautiful and quiet location on the lake. It’s so generous of the host to allow use of the kayaks and canoe, which makes this place truly extra special. The dock and other outdoor spaces are also lovely and the area is great for taking long walks. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and Jennifer is an extremely responsive host.
