Lake Gaston waterfront dream home! Guests can use our pontoon boat!

The Inn at Raintree sits among tall trees on the Lake Gaston waterfront. The moment you arrive, you feel at home. The spacious six-bedroom, four-bathroom lake home has an open floor plan. All rooms are decorated. The comfort of our guests is a priority. Friends and family have space to relax. A new sunroom porch has sliding glass windows offering sparkling views of the lake. Enjoy a cup of complementary coffee as you relax in our new porch swing. It is so restful.

Our fully equipped kitchen is ready to serve your guests at two large tables. For the outdoor cook, there are 2 grills, gas and charcoal. Did you bring along some wood and marshmallows to roast? Relax around our stone fire pit under a starry night sky.

Bring all your devices. We now have fiber internet so stream with confidence!

The game room is the Fun Zone. Play a game of foosball, shuffleboard or bowling. Enjoy a game of ping pong or corn hole. If you like fast action, test your reflexes playing on our new X-Box-X video game system. Enjoy the superb quality of our Blu-ray movie selection. Direct TV is also available in every room. Classic board games, puzzles and card games are available for more traditional tastes.

Our boat house has a selection of life vests and floats. The private dock is the perfect place to soak up the sun. Grab a board, a kayak, or take out a canoe.

Our pontoon boat is available to our guests at no charge during your stay. A favorite activity is towing friends on floats or boards behind the boat.
A totally refundable boat deposit is required 30 days before you arrive.
VRBO IS NOT a part of any boat agreement. The boat use is my gift to my guests. Contact me directly with any boat questions.
You may even bring your own boat and use my open slip at no cost. A variety of watercraft are rented everywhere around the lake and they deliver to our boathouse. Get out on the lake and have fun on the water!

Great family spot

Incredible Family Vacation

This had to be the most relaxing family vacation we have ever taken! The house was wonderful and fit all of our needs. Having the ability to have the boat for the week made our trip even more memorable. Steve was a great host and very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend! and hope to make it back again!

Plenty of Room

We had a wonderful time. With our larger group of 10 we had plenty of space and didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Some areas could use a bit of additional cleaning but the owner was more than receptive. The property is beautiful.

A great place for a big family. The house was not super clean on check in and oddly the beds had not been made. Minor stuff overall and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Family vacation

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Inn At Raintree. We spent a majority of our time at the dock and in the lake. The area is a great place for tubing with the kids. Dock is a great place to gather as is the screened-in porch. The living area is comfy and held our group for game nights. Steve was a wonderful, responsive host. Our family hopes to return next year.

A rental house that felt like home from beginning to end

From initial emails to final goodbyes, Steven was a fantastic host, and his beautiful lakefront home did not disappoint. He let us know up front what to expect, the resources and services around town available to us, and how to access every ounce of fun available to my family. We enjoyed days in the lake, reading on the dock, playing on the wide variety of floats and water toys, or just afternoons hanging inside. There were 11 of us (5 boys from 1.5 - 12 y.o. and 6 adults from 37-74!), and no one felt overcrowded. From the porches to firepit to the screened in dining space to the game room to the docks, there was always something to do or space to relax and do nothing. We made fantastic memories. I highly recommend staying at the Inn at Raintree!

Great week

Our family enjoyed our stay at Inn at Raintree, despite Hurricane Debby’s best attempts to rain us out. We spent a great deal of time at the dock enjoying the lake. Steve provides a nice assortment of water toys, kayaks, canoes and a paddleboard. The family enjoyed game nights on the screened porch. Steve is a wonderful, responsive host.

The Inn at Rain Tree Rocks

This was my first VRBO rental. I was so happy with the process. Our host was very kind and was in contact throughout the process. The house was more than what we imagined it would be. On the lake with the extended family with plenty of room to spare. Bottom line: This property was exactly as advertised. Highly recommend!! Lastly, I asked if my family wanted to come back, they answered "ABSOLUTELY". Enough said..

Excellent lake house

We had a wonderful time at the lake. The house was spacious, nicely appointed and very clean. Bill was a great host - very responsive and helpful. We rented a boat with the house and the kids had a great time water-skiing. I would highly recommend this property.

Lake Vacation

Our family of 14 ages 3 years old to 64 years old had a great time at the Inn at Raintree. Plenty of room for everyone. Kids loved the downstairs game room. A few updates are needed i.e new kitchen faucet and grill. Nothing that hampered our stay.

Perfect

This property was beyond clean. We felt very welcomed by Bill and he went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We loved that the home is located in a great ski/surf/wakeboard cove and not far off the main lake. We couldn't have asked for a better VRBO experiance.

Wonderful stay at the Inn at Raintree

We had a wonderful week at this beautifully decorated home. There were eight of us from 79 to 12 years of age. the six bedroom house will sleep 18. We were looking for a place on Lake Gastan with easy access to the water with a big dock, and large home for all of us to have some privacy and room for games and reading. (don't remember to much reading but I do remember our 4 grand kids having a super time. The bottom floor of the house was a great place for the kids to play games and for us to watch James Bond movies at night. From there easy access to the water with not steps. Kitchen, dinning and three bedrooms on the main level were all great. Finally we were able to rent the owner's pontoon boat for the week along with water toys like a big rubber pull behind and water skies. Of course they were a hit for the kids.

Great experience

This is our 4th time at Lake Gaston, renting a home. The property is located on a great cove for boating and swimming. 13 min drive to Food Lion and Hardware store. The home is super clean and is a great size for large groups. The boat house was a delight with plenty of space. Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards with all the accessories. Bill was very communicative and available if we needed anything or had questions. We rented the pontoon boat which was super nice with a 3 person tube and tow rope. We brought our own jetski and they were docked easily. We will definitely be back.
