Awesome Views! Two Full-Kitchens And Relaxing Fire Pit Area!

Come and take a look from Our Point of View! Take just a six minute drive to Great Creek Landing subdivision from I-85, and you will experience gentle, rolling hills, perfect for walking or biking, that lead to a beautiful lakeside home perfect for any get-away. Our Point of View is located at the entrance of a peaceful cove with a magnificent view of the greater lake.

Our Point of View is a five bedroom home (Three of the bedrooms include king beds with gorgeous lakefront views!) which comfortably sleeps 17 guests (with beds for all 17 guests). The main level has a large kitchen with updated appliances and dining area, perfect for cooking and entertaining. The living room includes a 60" smart TV, so no one misses the big game, even those "working" in the kitchen! Two bedrooms (king and queen) are located on the main level with a full bath and laundry room. The lower level, a walkout basement, has been recently painted and updated. The living room contains a sectional sofa, large 55" smart TV, custom bar, games, books for all ages and a foosball table. This lower level also includes a full kitchen with washer and dryer, making our home perfect for multiple families to get away from it all together, but still have their own space! The lower level also features two bedrooms (king and bunk room) and a full bath. On the third floor is a master suite, including a Jacuzzi tub, with breathtaking views of the lake.

While the inside has all the comforts of home, it's the lakeside view our guests will rave about. This home includes multiple outdoor seating areas for you to choose from to relax or gather with friends. Spend lake front time on the main level deck (complete with a gas grill), or rest on the patio on the lower level with ping pong table, charcoal grill and newly built fire pit! The fire pit is nestled in the middle of a stone seating area with Adirondack chairs built for relaxing and taking in the scenery day and night! Don't forget the fixings for S'mores over the fire pit! A paved walkway on a gentle slope leads you to a large dock, perfect for sunning, and with a water depth of eight feet, it's also great for swimming, floating and fishing. A boat house is located on the dock with 2 paddle boards and 3 kayaks for use during your stay at no additional charge. After a long day of fun in the sun, shower off outdoors in our newly built private, outdoor shower equipped with both hot and cold water.

Our Point of View offers every comfort of home. Enjoy this lakeside paradise with views that will leave you breathless. This is truly a special property that makes the most of an ideal location and allows you to feel like you are on vacation from the moment you arrive.

We had a fabulous family reunion vacation at Our Point of View! Having 2 kitchens was a great benefit. We had the parents with toddlers on the lower level and us mature folks on the main level so we were able to sleep a little later. We loved the close access to the dock/lake and all the paddling options. Enjoyed the fire pit and walks around the neighborhood. Did some side trips to breweries, mini golf, winery, dinner, & ice cream. We loved everything about the house and location. Would definitely book again.

Perfect Stay

We couldn’t have asked for a better house at Lake Gaston. For us, the boat house is the most important thing since that is where we spend the most time. This boat house was perfect. Comfortable furniture, great kayaks and paddle boards, shade, and a great swimming area.The house itself was very well-equipped and the beds were super comfortable. Jodie was very responsive and answered any and all questions. Don’t hesitate booking this property.

A lovely week with family

We had a great week with our sons and their families. The house is beautiful, roomy and very clean. The property is beautifully landscaped. We all (including our teenage grandchildren!) enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, ping pong, foosball and fire pit. It was a great place to spend family time together.

Spectacular property

This was a fantastic property for the 13 of us, offering everything we needed. The different levels of the house gave everyone their own space inside and the water toys gave everyone plenty to do outside. The owners were very responsive and the property was in wonderful condition. We already booked again for next year!

Thanksgiving Family Trip

Our family had a wonderful time. We loved the two sitting areas. This home had everything we needed. Very well stocked kitchen. The beds were all so comfy. We loved the fire pit too. Our grandson caught large catfish and it made his day. The older kids jumped in the lake. (per our yearly tradition). Quite chilly!!! We will be back. Our hostess was terrific. Thank you!!

Little piece of paradise

We loved our stay with our extended family over the 4th of July! Highly recommend renting a boat during your stay. We were able to enjoy the house, boat dock, and lake for tubing, swimming, and fishing. Beautiful sunsets and really liked how this house is in a protected cove. The lake was like glass! This place is amazing and really enjoyed our time. Will definitely be back!

Another Memorable Lake Week

Thank you another memorable Lake Week! We had a ball enjoying all that Our Point of View has to offer. We get so much use out of the screened porch, fire pit and dock. Our crew ranged in ages from 3 - 75+ and this place has something for everyone. This spot on the lake can't be beat and the house has everything you need. Thank you!

Beautiful Home

My family of 14 had a wonderful stay at My Point of View. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable!! Outside there was a beautiful new fire pit and an easy walkway down to the dock. The dock was in a quiet cove and everyone enjoyed fishing off the dock. Having use of the kayaks and paddle boards was so much fun. We rented a pontoon and had a couple jet skis to enjoy on the lake. Jodie, thanks for being an amazing host and quick to respond to our questions and needs. We highly recommend this vacation home.

Best vacation house/lake ever

We have stayed at many lakes and homes and this was the best! Beautiful clean home, great dock and yard, incredible lake! The house was large enough for 3 families and the beds are very comfortable! The lake was not busy and perfect for our boat sports playing. The owners were very responsive and so helpful! There is even an amazing outside shower! The sheets are provided and on the beds when you get there! Beautiful lake views from the kitchen! Can’t wait to return!

Another great week

Our family of 9 had a great week vacationing at “Our Point of View”. This was our second year there and we had a great time. The house is well equipped with everything from dishes, kayaks, SUP boards. It’s located at a great place on the lake, perfect for kayaking, tubing, or sweet. The owners are very responsive when you need to contact them. A great house for a large group! We were only 9, but had plenty of room for more.

Sweet Spot for Family Togetherness

Family time well spent in this beautiful vacation home. The location on the lake was perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and floating. While fish were sparse (most likely due to the beaver’s daily swim through), we loved the ability to fish with the property fishing license. The outdoor fire pit area was a beautiful spot to gather at day’s end. The screened in porch was perfect for book lounging. The home was clean and spacious for 16 people. The outdoor shower a lifesaver for our large group. Jodie was quick to respond when needed and always very polite. Highly recommend this rental not just for the property, but also because of the owners. We’ve stayed in many rentals for vacation, but Jodie was by far one of the best.

Amazing vacation!

Our extended family (6 adults and 4 kids) have been spending a week at the beach for nearly 10 years. We decided to try something new this year and spend the week at Lake Gaston. This has been one of our best vacations ever! This house is perfect for large families, families with young children and teens. The lower level set up is awesome! This house is well stocked, and the location of the house is perfect!!! Our kids and teens loved being able to kayak and paddle board around the cove. The house is located in a quiet area that’s perfect for swimming and kayaking, but also has an area nearby great for boating and pulling kids on the tube. The owners are very responsive. We can not wait to go back next year!

Fun week at Lake Gaston

Our family had a great week at Our Point of View. Jodie was a great host. She was very responsive to any questions we had. We loved the boat dock and spent many hours floating and swimming in Lake Gaston. Since there was a tropical storm in the forecast for later in the week, we decided to take advantage of every good day. It turns out there was only one rainy day which we spent indoors playing game as a family. Our granddaughters loved the bunk room and jumping off the dock. We rented a boat and jet ski to take full advantage of the lake. Highly recommend 313 Franklin Kitchen in South Hill. A great experience and really good food. We also enjoyed lunch at the Shady Shack and a visit to Rosemont Winery. A great time was had by all!

Perfect lake house for the larger group.

Loved the house. My niece wanted to post a review but couldn't because she wasn't the renter. I couldn't improve on what she wrote, so here it is: I just wanted to write a review on behalf of our recent stay at this beautiful place! My aunt rented this lake house from September 26- October 1! I told myself before I left I would write in the notebook in the living room and I forgot, so i googled the home hoping I can write a review but I see no option to do so! If there is no way to do so I just want to say thanks, thanks because after my grandparents sadly passed away my aunt and uncles had not gotten together like we did this last week. We had so many laughs, such wonderful pictures! We caught a huge catfish just so many wonderful moments were shared this week and all under this roof! This house brought us all together and we enjoyed not only eachothers presence but the comfyness of this home, the amazing view! I posted so many pictures on my social media i had so many questions of where I was, truthfully breath taking lakehouse! Thank you!!

We have stayed at this property for many years and love the house, very comfortable and clean. It’s many bedrooms have comfortable beds and allow for privacy when needed. The dock and lake location are perfect. This section of the lake is not very crowded with boat traffic so it’s wonderful for tubing, wake surfing, etc. We bring our boat and it docks easily there. They have lots of great paddle boards and kayaks we also use. The dock remains in the sun for the day which is perfect for those who love the sun, but also has shaded areas with fans and comfortable furniture for those who want shade. The screened in back porch is also wonderful! Morning coffee is the best there! We continue to love it and return year after year. The hosts are the BEST! Great communication and always very helpful!

About the host

Hosted by Our Point of View owner

Host profile image
Martin and I have been married since 1999 and I can honestly say we have had some kind of project going since day one! In addition to raising two teenage daughters, working as a second grade teacher, and Martin a mechanical engineer, our life has been full of remodeling, creating and construction of some type! When we bought Our Point of View in September of 2016 we agreed we would only do a few simple improvements the first year. Wrong! Before we knew it we decided to repaint and update almost the entire lower level! We just want our guests to feel comfortable and enjoy their surroundings while visiting. Martin grew up on a Caribbean island so he loves water and boating. We both knew we wanted a place that was easy to get to in a short amount of time. Lake Gaston was the perfect spot! We love it and hope you will too!

Why they chose this property

We knew Our Point of View was the right house for us the moment our realtor drove us down the driveway! Martin and I both fell in love with the lake view! We loved the gentle slope of the yard, the large dock and the location. We get the benefits of seeing the greater lake combined with the coziness of being in a cove. In addition, we also love the location. It is easily accessible from I-85 and only takes about an hour for us to get here from our home. It is so nice to go from a hectic, crazy schedule to total tranquility in such a short amount of time!

What makes this property unique

Immediately, we saw the benefits of this home. For starters, it has two full kitchens! Not many lake rentals have this. Personally, I am not a fan of cooking but some renters love it. But more importantly, I envisioned family and friends getting together not only during the summer but for holidays! Two ovens and two refrigerators definitely come in handy. Plus having a complete lower level gives multiple families more space. Another benefit of this home is the master bedroom and bathroom having its own level. In addition, the views are amazing from the third level! The first thing we did when we bought the home was position the bed to look out at the lake. It's a great view to enjoy first thing in the morning after you wake up! There are many benefits about this home but another one that stands out is the yard. We have a large front yard, great for volleyball or kickball, and an awesome lakeside yard. I told Martin when we saw the house that the house screamed for some attention in the back even though the view was amazing. It needed to be brought to life! This is where the beginning of Martin's design of the fire pit and walkways started! I look forward to listening to old stories and creating new ones by this fire pit. I hope you and your friends and family will too!
