We had a fabulous week staying at this property for a family retreat. The communication was very good from getting ready for trip, to check in, to check out. The location is excellent, as it is on a point, so wide open views. Very nice neighborhood, which was great for doing our morning walks. There is a farm nearby with horses, and elk! The house was clean, and set up perfect for our family group. The kids loved the water activities, and especially the high dive. If we go back to gaston, we are booking this house again.
The house was beautiful. The location was even better. We stay at Gaston often and like the north/east quadrant. It is 10 minutes from Eatons Ferry which has marina, resturants, ABC store, Jenny Cakes ( which has fantastic baked goods), Food Lion, and Lake Gaston's only gym.
I love the location of this house. Very deep water at the boat dock, expansive views, and not too much boat traffic even on the weekends.
The house itself was very nice. 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The kitchen was a tiny bit small if you do alot of cooking. But hey, you are on vacation, so you shouldn't be doing alot of cooking! Plenty of space inside to chill with the upstairs living room, the basement living room, and the renovated garage game room but to be quite honest, we spent day and night at the boat dock! I wish they could change a few of the beds to kings because I am spoiled and like sleeping with lots of room.
Overall, I would recomend this house to everyone!!!
I highly recommend this property. Fantastic vibe in this house and it is loaded with entertainment opportunities. Many bedrooms make this a group-friendly house!
After a year and a half, we wanted to have a great get away with our grandkids and children. Covid had impeded visits and after reading about Grandview Lodge, we knew we would be in a safe, well cared for environment. We were not disappointed! Everything was immaculate. The home is lake front and the scenery is spectacular from sunrise to sunset. All details are cared for by the rental agency. All questions were handled efficiently and timely. Our grandchildren had much to do in the game room and outside. The kitchen is well stocked! Wi-Fi is great! Each of us had adequate space for rest and relaxation ! 5 adults and 3 children enjoyed the Thanksgiving getaway!
The home is in a very nice neighborhood on the main lake near the Lake Gaston Dam. Being on the main lake and on a corner of an inlet there is a lot of boat traffic that comes close to the dock sometimes causing waves and choppy water. The boat house is very nice with a variety of water toys included. The extra boat lift can not be used by guests, but there is room to tie up a small boat or jet ski (but there is a lot of wake). A marina is close by for gas. There is a public boat launch a few miles away. The view from the main family room is excellent as well as the front top deck and screened in porch. The house is well furnished inside and out, and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well appointed and we were able to cook large meals. Using both the island and table we sat 10 for dinner. Local restaurants are very crowded with long waits (understaffed). Most of the mattresses and bedding are acceptable but not great, and one lower level bedroom has a very uncomfortable mattress and some bad, crinkly, cheap pillows. There was a broken well pump in the lake house that ran all week long and we informed the management company (Lake Gaston Vacation Rentals) and they did not return our calls and never came out to fix the pump (the owner needs to replace or repair the pump). The garage is full of fun toys and activities including ping pong and foosball . Our family including grandparents, teens, and adult children enjoyed our week at this upscale home. We spent most of our time floating, jet skiing, paddle boarding, and sitting on the dock.
