Welcome to "The Good Life!" THIS IS A VACATION DREAM! Conveniently located, spacious lakefront home with level lot, mature trees and small private beach in popular Pea Hill Creek on the Northeast quadrant of Lake Gaston. This 2-level, pet friendly home is designed with families in mind and is the perfect location for annual family reunions or vacations! Come visit "The Good Life" and see what lakefront vacations are all about! THE OUTSIDE DETAILS: Let’s face it. You don’t come to Lake Gaston for the house… you come for the setting and all that the lake has to offer! Whether you want to relax or play, this property has everything you need! For those of you who want to relax, come enjoy the beautiful view of the lake from the Adirondack chairs on the dock, sway in the hammock under the trees, or swing in one of the double swings on the small, private beach. The swimming area is protected from the hustle and bustle of the main lake and is the perfect place for swimming and boating. The water is shallow near the edge of the property for younger children to stand in and swim. The water level is 3-4 ft near the dock and gets deeper as you head toward the main lake. We have two paddle boards, six kayaks (five singles and one double) and a pedal boat for our guests to enjoy. We have multiple “old school” orange life jackets, but please bring your own if possible. There are lots of areas to safely explore by kayak or paddle board, including a little island called "Halley Rock." If you decide to rent a boat (or bring your own), we have a boat dock that you can dock up to. And for all of you who love to fish - Pea Hill Creek (and Lake Gaston in general) offers some of the best fishing in the state! The yard is certainly worth mentioning as it truly feels like a special place. The large, mature trees provide ample shade and respite from the sun. We have an outdoor shower, picnic table, corn hole, a horseshoe pit, a fire pit and a big field for yard games! Feel free to bring your own games! We also have a large, gas grill outside for grilling. This is truly one of the best coves on the lake! The main lake is just a few minutes away by boat. The Pea Hill Creek boat ramp is less than 2 miles away, as is the Lake Gaston Golf Course! One of the best things about Lake Gaston is that it’s in a beautiful, quiet, charming, rural area. There are no big box stores here! Our home is conveniently located with access to local restaurants, the Food Lion, an ice cream shop, mini golf, multiple marinas, boat rentals, bait shops, gas stations and more. THE HOUSE DETAILS… MAIN FLOOR: The main floor has an open floor plan and is a perfect space for entertaining large groups! There is a fully stocked kitchen and huge dining table that seats 10 comfortably. There are three additional seats at the counter. The kitchen is loaded with dishes, cutlery, pots, pans, bakeware, serving trays, bowls, storage containers, strainers, pitchers, drinkware, etc. There are also tons of “extras,” including a microwave, crock pot, blender, toaster, Keurig, a drip coffee pot, tea kettle, mixer, meat slicer, etc. \*\*\*Wondering if a particular item is available in the kitchen? Please message me for clarification. The spacious family room offers comfortable seating and a large 55” TV.. The family room and kitchen open out to the huge upper deck with lots of comfortable seating and great views of the lake and backyard! On this one deck alone, there are three seating areas: sink into the comfortable chairs in the covered deck area with ceiling fan, do some bird watching from the rocking chairs under the canopy of the trees, or enjoy a meal on the small outdoor table! We regularly see a pair of bald eagles and flying squirrels from the back deck; it's incredible! There is also a lower deck that offers another great area for enjoying the beautiful outdoors with additional comfortable patio seating, providing you with multiple areas to spend time with your family and friends. Back to the main level… There are three bedrooms upstairs: one master bedroom with a king-sized bed and private bath, one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and one bedroom with two twins. There is a hall bathroom on this level with a tub/shower combo. All bedrooms have smart TV’s, alarm clocks, dressers and spacious closets. LOWER LEVEL: The lower level is stocked with entertainment. There is an 8’ Olhausen pool table, a foosball table, tons of games and puzzles, a large TV for movies or watching the game, and multiple areas for relaxing. The lower level has two bedrooms: one with a king-sized bed and the other with two bunk beds (one double and three twins); there is also a pull out sofa in the main area. There is a full bath with a tub/shower combination. There is also a laundry room on this level with a full-sized washer and dryer for your use. WHAT MAKES THIS PROPERTY UNIQUE? This house does not feel like a rental property… it feels like home. The furnishings are high quality, the beds are extremely comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked… All you have to do is walk in the door and you have all you need to be able to relax and enjoy your lakefront vacation. We treat our guests like friends and are always available if you have questions or concerns. We have confidence that you will love this home as much as we do!

We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. It was a total of 10 of us, 2 families with an extra teenagers). We had plenty of space and things to do!! The backyard is flat and nicely kept. We did some dock fishing and caught a 4 lb catfish one night!! We had a boat and had plenty of room to park and still be able to play in the lake and use the kayaks!! The SUP boards were a big hit as well as the noodles and other floats that were available. Nice little quiet area in the cove. The owners were amazing providing updates when we lost the power. Highly recommend!! Already planning another trip! ##### Tina N. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce L.

We had a blast out on the lake with the kayaks, paddle boat and paddle boards (though the paddle boat rudder handle could use some fixing). We sat out by the fire pit every night. The downstairs game area was used quite a lot, and all of the games were in perfect working order. Our dog also had the time of her life. Thank you, Holly, for allowing us such an amazing experience in your gorgeous home! ##### alison b. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy C.

The host sent a charming and helpful welcome email 3 days prior to our arrival. We were a bit surprised to read that we needed to bring our own bath towels and make the beds when we arrived. Otherwise, the fire pit, dock, kayaks and paddle boards, and well-stocked kitchen were all very nice and appreciated. ##### Ryan H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda T.

It was very clean, they provided everything we could possibly need or want! The kayaks, paddle boards, and pedal boats were a huge hit and got used every day. The kids were able to fish right off the dock while the littles played on the beach. It was our favorite vacation house.

Easy access to the main lake but very quiet tucked into Pea Creek. Pool and games were the highlight at night. There are plenty of tv's but we never turned them on. Holly is quick to respond and made everything very easy. ##### jeff d. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### teresa l.

Returning to this lovely home felt like coming back to a cherished family retreat. The panoramic lake views from the deck are absolutely mesmerizing, and the house is impeccably clean and welcoming. The hosts have truly created a haven here, with thoughtful touches throughout, from the well-stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds. We enjoyed every moment, from early morning coffee on the porch to stargazing at night. It's the perfect spot for both adventure and relaxation. It fits our family of 8 beautifully with young grandchildren. Holly is so accommodating and responds very quickly. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful, rejuvenating escape! ##### teresa l. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren B.

The home was spotless, organized and welcoming and the location was just beautiful. Holly was so friendly and accommodating. The whole process was easy breezy and we really had a wonderful time. We cooked together, went on a nice walk, took out the pedal boat, made s’mores in the evening and enjoyed coffee on the porch. It was a fun trip for us moms, but next time we’ll bring the husbands and kiddos! 5 stars all around! 🙏 ##### Lauren B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angie W.

Been to Gaston many times but first time at Pea Hill Creek area and is our favorite spot so far! Deap, calm water just a few yards from the dock and no tiny bridges to navigate! Sheets were so soft. 2nd "drink fridge" was great! Downstairs game room was a big hit with the teenagers. Only suggestion is to clean up some cob webs outside but inside was very clean. Host was amazing to work with regarding checkin/out! Would absolutely come back! ##### Angie W. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey R.

Our hosts were so receptive to any questions we had, and answered immediately. The property is lovely! A flat close walk to the lake, which we all appreciated, and was especially nice because we had a 3 month old baby. Situated in a quiet cove, where swimming and kayaking were so enjoyed. The house has all the kayaks you would need and the dock has a space for you to rent a boat which we did. The house itself was perfect for all of us. Very well equipped and the downstairs pool table and foos ball table were great for evening activities. Many decks for lounging and reading. None of us ever felt we all did not have our own space. We highly recommend this property for your vacation on Lake Gaston. You will not be disappointed! Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks, Jeff and Sarah ##### Jeffrey R.

Very well equipped, the house had everything we needed for a complete traditional Thanksgiving dinner, and a well stocked kitchen. A bonus was the dining table that would easily seat ten. Multiple decks over looked a beautiful back yard and the scenic lake. Plenty to do and plenty of space for group fun or just relaxing. A pool table, foosball, corn hole, horseshoes, six kayaks, two paddle boards, a paddle boat and more. We did kayak, but being November, we did not go in the water. While we are past that stage, there was plenty of stuff for families with younger children - high chair, child gates, games and toys. The hosts provided information about the area and the house before we arrived, and checked in with us during our stay. All in all, we had a very nice, relaxing and restorative four days. We will have to come back again in the summer…. ##### David H.
