Hi Rhonda, Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled your group enjoyed the lake — it really does steal the show. When we upgraded the dock, our contractor thought we were crazy for going all-in with the finishes, but it’s become one of the most loved spots at the property. The top deck is perfect for soaking in the views, while the shaded lower level—with ceiling fans and ESPN on the TV—makes for the ultimate cool-down spot. Hope you’ll be back soon for another round of lake time!

Great family vacation at the lake!

Enjoyed this house for a weeklong family vacation. Everything was great - the house was perfect for the 6 families on vacation. Our group spent the entire week down at the lake - the various amenities and lake toys were perfect (especially the water trampoline and slide for the 6 kids under 10). Check in and communication with the owners was easy and smooth. Would definitely return!!

We had an amazing time! Our family had so much on the water trampoline, fishing off the dock & relaxing in the ample shaded area when we needed a break from the sun! The property was beautiful and the beds were so comfortable! The ice machines were definitely used, helpful and needed! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an amazing home on Lake Gaston to spend quality time with their family! The owners were very responsive to any questions before arrival as well as during I stay.

Lovely home

The house was gorgeous and well appointed. Everything was clean. There were tons of activities for a large group. My only complaints were that the hot tub doesn't get very warm and doesn't consistently work well. It's also a pain to have to bring your own towels and to have to do a ton of work to close down the house despite the fees. Overall, would absolutely recommend and would definitely stay again.

We had a great week

We had our grown children and grandchildren(ages 5-18). Everyone had a great week. The property is perfect for sunsets. The home was well stocked and fit our group of 18. The kids enjoyed that water trampoline and never got bored with it. We chose to rent the boat and were glad that we did as it was in great condition and so convenient. The owners were easy to work with and the communication was almost immediate. It’s our 10th consecutive year of renting VRBOs for family vacations and this one ranks very high. We’d recommend Summer Place.

Good times…

This property was a lot of fun and well care for. The bedrooms/baths were nice, kitchen had all the essentials, the outdoor activities and amenities were amazing and fun! Owner had the cooler on the deck filled with ice ready for our arrival. The only negative I can think of was the dog hair on the living room furniture. All in all it was a lovely and welcoming home.

Ann, so glad that you had an amazing time on your vacation and appreciated all the "little extras" that we provide. Thank you for your kind words. While we do not typically allow pets, my family did stay at the lake the week before you and had our dogs. We actually pay our wonderful and long time cleaning crew extra to be sure they take care of the dog hair after our stays. You had such wonderful things to say throughout the week you were there, but I wished you would have let us know about our 🐶 Sadie's hair that was missed. So sorry!!! We've owned three luxury homes on Lake Gaston over the past 19 years, and this is our first non 5-star ranking ever, so you can imagine how much we pay attention to client feedback and not allowing these types of things. Needless to say, we'll communicate this to our team and get better from it! We always appreciate guests taking the time to let us know how to improve. šŸ‘

Awesome, but Boat Snaffu

This place is awesome and I really recommend it. The one thing that was tough that we were the first boaters of the season and the boat ran out of gas after 2 hours. The next day, they discovered that the gas sending unit was bad hence the bad gas gauge reading. We were reimbursed for the boat. Otherwise, was awesome.

Amazing House!

We stayed at Summer Place with 3 other families and our kids ages between 11 and 17. The downstairs setup of boys/girls each having their own large bedroom and attached bath as well as separate hangout spot was perfect. The kitchen was large, open and had everything we needed and more! The water access and dock/deck were amazing and had nice furniture. The kids had a blast on the water trampoline and jumping off the top level of the dock deck. Great owners, Vicki was easy to work with, fast to respond and very accommodating. It's a gorgeous house and well maintained and also loved that there was plenty of parking too. We will definitely be back!!

FABULOUS

We had an fabulous amazing week!!! Kitchen was furnished with everything. Lots of plastic storage containers, ziplock bags, trash bags, had dishwasher soap as well as lots of cleaning supplies. Coolers everywhere for you to use. Kids enjoyed having TVs in every room including the downstairs family room, after dinner movie/video time. The indoor surround system that also works at the boat house. Brought on family singing & name that tune. We had a minor hiccup but Vicki was very accommodating & had problem resolved the next afternoon. Hiccup brought many more laughs & memories. Vacationing with 13 teenagers can be never wrecking, however with all the outdoor activities, paddle boarding , Kayaking

5 Star Lakehouse on Lake Gaston!

It was my family's first trip to Lake Gaston and this home and the hosts (Vicki and Chris) made it incredibly special. The house is beautiful, clean, well-maintained, and wonderfully designed for families. We chose this property due to the location on the lake, amenities in the home, the hosts description, as well as the reviews helped us to narrow our selection. Once we arrived, we were thrilled with our choice. All the amenities you could want, plenty of space for our family, well designed flow, well thought out planning (sonos system at the home and boathouse) really helped us to just enjoy our time at the property and as a family. Communication through the booking process, on-site and departure was seamless. Even when we encountered a small issue at the home, between the property management team and hosts, everything was resolved quickly. To me, that said a lot that when things go right, everything seems great, but when things didn't go perfectly, the hosts ensured everything was resolved immediately. We appreciate everything Vicki and Chris along with their team did for our stay and we already booked to come back!

Wonderful property and excellent hosts

We came to this property to celebrate a birthday for one of our family members. With 3 families, we were very comfortable spreading out amongst the bedrooms across 3 floors. The property itself was very clean and well-stocked with all of the items you might need. The owners were helpful throughout the process - helping us to find a local gym to workout, providing highlights of the area, and addressing a minor issue with the wifi during our stay.

Another Christmas gathering

This makes the second time staying here in consecutive years for our families large Christmas gathering. We have 10 adults and 10 children and there is room for everyone. The house is fantastic with an amazing boat house, fire pit, hot tub, ping pong table, etc for everyone to enjoy. TVs galore and stunning views. Quickly becoming a family tradition for us and Vicki couldn’t be easier to work with. We’ve only stayed here in December but I imagine this place to be an absolute blast during the summer with all it has to offer.

Four Generations Having Fun at the Lake

Spacious property allowed for multiple areas to occupy and enjoy indoor and outdoor. Some could relax on the deck off the living room with a beautiful view of the lake, others on the patio using the hot tub or ping pong table, still others at the boat house with two levels of very comfortable seating so you can be in the sun or shade or enjoy the cool waters of the lake using the trampoline, kayak, paddle board, etc. House is beautifully decorated and spacious. Kitchen is well equipped and roomy. TV's and Music in all rooms and in the boat house!

Christmas at Summer Place--Dec 2020

Amazing! Serene! Phenomenal! Very clean! Well-maintained! Spacious! Did I say clean and BEAUTIFUL?...AND I DON'T usually give reviews unless it was a terrible experience. To understand how the experience at Summer Place brightened our lives, you have to know how difficult 2020 has been for us...we've had parents pass away, grandparents die, numerous people sick from cancer, Job loss, etc. And on top of that--COVID in the world !!! But we refused to not spend our Christmas week away with family. It is our tradition. Now that you have back-drop... This house is absolutely beautiful and very spacious šŸ˜ From the design, layout, decor and amenities. We were able to get inside the hot tub and it was 25 degrees outside! There is a TV in every room, the kitchen is well-stocked with all the extras, linens and bed coverings were exceptional, furniture was well maintained and it was clean, clean, clean, clean (I'm big on a place being spotless) Communication with Vicki (property owner) was superb and very prompt (within 30-min to an hour during the Christmas week...who does that?!!!) She was so responsive and hospitable. Vicki even offered to FaceTime me to answer questions!!! It was a very cold Christmas week so outdoors was minimal, but we did get to use the fireplace, hot tub spa (Michael Phelps edition) and sit at the boathouse (Phenomenal)...I think it is the best boathouse on the lake. If you want an amazing VRBO property...you better choose this place. Truly, it is worth the price. We will definitely rent this place again. Thanks to Vicki and her family for making our Christmas week with my entire family an experience we will never forget! šŸ’› šŸ’ž
