We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at our lake home, Danny. We added a floating dock so it is easier to swim from the dock area. We like our little cove in the quiet end of the lake because we don’t get a lot of boat traffic and it is safer for our grandchildren to enjoy their floats and kayaks. Thanks for choosing our home for your family’s vacation. Denise and Gary

Beautiful home on a quiet inlet on Lake Gaston. We appreciated the ability to dock our boat alongside the owner's boat dock. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed from bedding to bath and kitchen essentials. The firepit, kayaks and swingset were bonuses! The hosts were a pleasure to work with.

Thanks, Edwin. We are glad that your family enjoyed our lake home. We love our cove which is great for kids because we don’t get beat up from boat and jet ski traffic. But then we are so close to the public boat ramp that it is convenient to launch water craft. We hope you enjoyed the canoe and kayaks too. Your family is welcome back any time.

We loved taking the kayaks and canoes out and enjoyed the games in the garage. We took the kids to the public beach where the water is shallow and they had so much fun! We would recommend this house without hesitation!

About the host

Hosted by Denise and Gary Armstrong

Host profile image
We are the Armstrong family. We moved to the south from the midwest in 1976. Since then, we have had a home near the water. Our home is new to the rental market. It sits on a quiet cove of Lake Gaston. We are happy to share our home with you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay a great one.

What makes this property unique

Our home is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. There is a public boat ramp adjacent to our neighborhood. Our cove is on Lee Creek which leads into Lake Gaston. We have less boat traffic than those homes on the main lake. It is a perfect location for playing in the water or using the provided canoe and kayaks.
