About this property

Lake Gaston's BEST Secret Cove Sleeps 16 w/Toys!

  • Welcome to Hideaway Haven - tucked away in the peaceful semi-private nook of Lake Gaston. This home boasts open water views, glass-like water, and everything lake-living has to offer. You will seriously love this secluded part of Lake Gaston, as there is minimal boat traffic - making it much safer for swimming, easier to paddleboard, and more tranquil overall. The cove is basically your own mini-lake, big enough to zip around on a jet ski, or even wakeboard. We don't think there's a better spot on the entire lake! If you love the main lake, no worries - it's a short boat ride. Also nearby are some excellent restaurants on the water, by boat (ask us about our pontoon and jet ski rentals).

    As you enter the front door, you are greeted with bright two-story windows displaying the lake, and an open floorplan large enough for multiple families or groups to gather and enjoy!

    A wrap-around sundeck surrounds the main floor living space. Enjoy your morning coffee off the Kitchen with elevated views of the boathouse, and gaze across untouched water to a private island. Maybe even greet the blue herons that walk on the shore. These panoramic views allow for glimpses of sunrise and sunset. For lunch/dinner, help yourself to the gas grill, as everyone gathers for indoor-outdoor dining.

    In the evening, wind down on the porch or covered patio, or down around the fire pit roasting marshmallows.

    Nonstop fun all day in this deep-water cove. Take a morning cruise on a provided tandem kayak or paddleboat; Swim or float off the 2-level boathouse, and even try jumping off the sundeck into 7ft deep water (no diving please). Access to the water is down a tiered boardwalk (2 or 3 steps down at a time to multiple landings) that winds down the gentle grade.

    We installed a brand new water filtration system to help with water quality.

    More details of the interior:

Off to the left, we have a newly added full bathroom. Next down the hall is our spacious King Deluxe suite that leads into a newly renovated full bath with a freestanding soaking tub. Back to the main living space is the kitchen area with a large eating island for 6, and dining table that seats 8. This leads out to the oversized wrap-around lakeside porch with killer views. There are multiple sliding doors off the kitchen and main living spaces. You will also have full access to our washer and dryer located on the main floor.
    Heading upstairs you come to a double bunk-bed-set and trundle-bed Bedroom - 2 full beds and 4 twin beds all in one room. You may also turn the trundle (2 twins) into a king-size bed. Heading downstairs, to the lower level, there is another living area with a kitchenette that includes a fridge, microwave, and sink.
