My family and I enjoyed our stay! So relaxing the sunset is beautiful for sure, definitely took advantage of everything this house had to offer! Would consider staying again, just would have liked for the grill and deck to have been cleaned. Thank you
The house was very clean and in a quiet part of the lake. The owner worked with us on our check-in needs, which was much appreciated. The basement in particular is a very nice space and great to gather after a day in the sun.
For the second time, we rented this beautiful house for Thanksgiving. It is centrally located for our family members and well equipped for cooking and entertaining. Terrific!
We loved our stay at this house! The location was perfect and the views from the house and the dock were beautiful. The house had plenty of space for everyone, including the dogs! The gated porch was great to keep the dogs in. Everything was clean and neat. We would definitely stay here again.
Our family has been going to Lake Gaston for about 15 years & this Lake house is definitely one of our favorites ! It was very comfortable, clean ,well-stocked ! We loved the dock ,sunsets were amazing ! We enjoyed the firepit ,making S'mores & just sitting around it talking & having a drink ! Best of all being able to have our Fur Babies with us made everything PERFECT!!
We had an amazing time! There were so many things to do. The view was beautiful and they put a lot of thought into providing lots of options. Planning to return during the warmer months so that we can take more advantage of the outdoor activities.
We had a great time here. Brought our boat and tied up at the dock. The house is located in a protected area from the main lake and we had a great time hanging out on the water. House is well stocked with water toys, so be sure to check them out. Listing is as described and the house is well maintained. Definitely recommend.
This was without a doubt the best !!! Very well stocked, very clean, decor wonderful, sunsets/sunrise perfect !! I highly recommend for a quite, beautiful awesome get a way! Thank you. Will go again!
We thoroughly enjoyed this property. Fires, fishing, cards, pool, ping pong, boating, family meals and perfect weather. Even with 66 degree water temp we tubed and water skied! Plenty of kitchen supplies, plenty of room for all our food. Our dogs loved the dock and the yard. We will be back!
My family and our friends live in MD. We met our sons who live in NC. The house was perfect for our group of 12. It is very spacious with lots of seating. The covered boat deck was awesome since our weather wasn’t great. The amenities were as advertised and there were a lot. We had a great weekend and would definitely go back.
We rented Awesome Sunsets as a central location for our extended family to celebrate Thanksgiving 2023. The property was immaculate and well appointed. Given that the main event was Thanksgiving, we were delighted to find 3 large refrigerator/freezers inside and another at the boat house. The house provided plenty of entertainment options for the family. We were delighted with this wonderful vacation rental!
Loved our Lake Gaston stay. My family has always had lake gatherings since I was a little girl and this was the perfect way to continue this tradition with my children and grandchild. Amazing location! Serene, quiet, awesome sunsets. House was fantastic. Game room brought back childhood memories. Even as a December rental with colder weather, the house and lake was great for our Christmas family gathering. Would definitely consider renting again. Thank you!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Awesome Sunsets. The kitchen is fully stocked and I cooked every night. Even though it was just the two of us, this place is great to share with family! The two separate living areas would allow for some great family fun playing pool and games while also providing some personal space. The view from the boat dock was a little slice of heaven. We could truly see ourselves living lake life on a more permanent basis. The hosts have really outdone themselves with all the little touches to make any length of stay a memorable one.
this is a fantastic property. room for everyone with very comfortable beds. kitchen is well stocked upstairs . 3 refrigerators made storing food and drinks a breeze. the dock and boathouse was our favorite spot.lots of water foats, life jackets and the 2 kayaks and paddleboard were used every Day!!! pwner was very responsive when we had an issue with the dishwasher and were missing some equipment. they even ordered a replacement and had it delivered while we were there.
we hope to return to this house again. tha knyoy for sharing your home with others to enjoy!
One last trip hoorah before school starts. This place was great. Probably better than pictured and described. We had 8 adults and 6 kids 6 and under. There was plenty of room to play and sleep. House was clean and well stocked. Boat house is amazing and also well stocked with water skis,tubes,ropes,life jackets pool noodles like I’ve never seen, and fishing poles. Sunsets were amazing. We rented a pontoon from stonehouse timber lodge. The lady that runs it is great. It’s about a 25 minute boat ride back to the house. The cove the house is on is big and wasn’t very busy during our stay. Our only issue was that we couldn’t stay longer. Would love to do it again! Thanks for sharing your home!
This was our first trip to Lake Gaston and it certainly will not be our last! The house is stellar to say the least! It worked out perfectly for our group. We had adults and tweens on the top floor and our teenage boys took over the bottom level: “The Man Cave!” I think they will be very disappointed when they go to college and find their apartments are not nearly as nice as this LOL! We could close the door and it was like having two houses in one! And what a prime location! You have deep water where the kids can jump and dive but not too deep where you’re over worried. The adults, my kids and their friends loved all of the many many amenities offered! There is way more than what’s listed on the site! I will say I was a bit perturbed that my Frogger skills didn’t return after many moons and I gave up on the arcade game but it was great! So nostalgic and even the young ones enjoyed playing! We rented a pontoon boat and my absolute favorite memory was how much our pups loved boating! One even walked down to the boathouse in the rain asking to go out on a ride. We all agreed that we are by far lake people over beach people and would love love love to return to this magnificent house next Summer!
The dock and location were fantastic! Beautiful sunsets The house was well suited for our group of 9 and we loved all the indoor games for when the group needed a break from the water. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice house in a great location!
Location of house on the lake was perfect. The dock house sold us on the rental and did not disappoint from the view to the shaded areas and tiki bar with fridge plus a closet filled with water toys, wonderful! We have already booked here for next summer!
The home was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed for a weekend, 3 adults and one teen. The house is very roomy, could easily accommodate a large group. The views were breathtaking. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming in the lake. We rented a boat for a day and everyone enjoyed that as well. We spent a lot of time on the dock which was awesome. Overall it was a relaxing weekend at a super nice house. Would definitely stay here again.
