Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a peaceful weekend recharge, or a quiet getaway with your favorite people, this cozy Main Lake cottage is just what you need. Tucked in a secluded setting with rustic charm and modern comforts, Snuggle Inn is the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and wrap yourself in lake life serenity. Even better—it's dog-friendly, welcoming up to two well-behaved pups to enjoy the lake life with you. Conveniently located near a local winery, golf course, marinas, and shopping, you’re close to everything—yet it feels like your own private hideaway. Sneaking away with someone special? Ask about our Romance Package for an extra dose of magic. Warmer weather invites you to snuggle up with sunshine and lake breezes. Swim, float, or just lounge on the dock and let the day drift by. Looking for adventure? Tubing, wakeboarding, and endless fun are right at your fingertips—or just hop on a sunset cruise to Eaton’s Ferry Bridge for a delicious dinner on the water. Got a four-legged snuggle buddy? You're welcome to bring up to two dogs along for the fun (pet fee of $250 applies). Sorry—no cats, please. This lakefront cottage is perfect for pups who love splashing in the water or napping in the sun. Prefer to stay snuggled in? Curl up with a book on the lakeside deck, toss a line in off the dock (with 10+ feet of water!), or simply sip something cold and watch the clouds roll by. In cooler months, the lake transforms into a canvas of vibrant fall color. Bring your own pontoon and take in the reflections from the calm, quiet water—there’s nothing quite like it. End your day by the crackling firepit, sharing stories, roasting S’mores, and watching the stars wink goodnight. No matter the season, Snuggle Inn is your go-to spot for cuddling up, kicking back, and creating memories you’ll never want to leave behind. Come Snuggle Inn. Stay cozy. Stay a while.

Necessaries were provided cutlery, (shampoo conditioner, soap) and the kitchen is very well stocked with cutlery, kitchen tools etc. very nice stay. ##### Patricia A.

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Nov 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities One primary thing that dropped a star (and I really felt like dropping two stars) from my rating: misrepresentation of the bed sizes. In two different places the listing stated there were 3 king sized beds, which was a huge factor in our choice of this place. This was absolutely inaccurate: There were two queens and what we believe was a double/full. I respectfully request that the listing be edited to reflect the actual offerings of this property. Other than the upstairs shower being uncomfortably small, most everything else was excellent. It's unfortunate that the listing was misrepresented, as this may have gotten them a 5\* rating. Sadly, although we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back to Lake Gaston in the future, we will not be renting this property. It's very easy to tell a king from a queen, and the choice to misrepresent that left a bad taste in our mouths. ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kare H. Jul 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Heron Lodge Stayed 3 full days. We had a nice time even though it rained. Nice quiet area! We visited the area shops on the rainy days. We were able to get in the water one day which was nice! We enjoyed our stay at Heron Lodge. Thanks! ##### Kare H.
