About this property

RECENTLY RENOVATED - 180-degree views, 2-story boathouse & OPTIONAL BOAT RENTALS

Welcome to Hideaway Haven - tucked away in the peaceful & sought-after area of Lake Gaston, known as Six Pound Creek. This home boasts open water views, glass-like water, and everything lake-living has to offer. You will seriously love this peaceful part of Lake Gaston, as there is minimal boat traffic - making it much safer for swimming, easier to paddleboard, and more tranquil overall. We don't think there's a better spot on the entire lake! If you love the main lake, it's a short boat ride. Also not far from some restaurants on the lake, by boat (ask us about our pontoon and jet ski rentals).

As you enter the front door, you are greeted with bright two-story windows displaying the lake, and an open floorplan large enough for multiple families or groups to gather and enjoy!

A wrap-around sundeck surrounds the main floor living space. Enjoy your morning coffee off the Kitchen with elevated views of the boathouse, and gaze across untouched water to a private island. Maybe even greet the blue herons that walk on the shore. These panoramic views allow for sights of sunrise and sunset. For lunch/dinner, help yourself to the gas grill, as everyone gathers for indoor-outdoor dining.

In the evening, wind down on the covered patio or around the fire pit roasting marshmallows.

Nonstop fun all day in this deep-water cove. Take a morning cruise on a provided tandem kayak or paddleboat; Swim or float off the 2-level boathouse, and even try jumping off the sundeck into 7ft deep water (no diving please). Access to the water is down a tiered boardwalk (2 or 3 steps down at a time to multiple landings) that winds down the gentle grade.

New for 2022!
A full bathroom has been added to the main floor! Also, the master suite bathroom has been fully renovated with all-new plumbing, tile, vanity, fixtures, and a freestanding soaker tub.

Lastly, we installed a brand new water filtration system to help with water quality.

Some amenities include:
2 smart enabled TVs and internet in both family rooms.
1 double Kayak, 1 paddle boat
Foosball table
Pac-Man Arcade Game

If you have your own boat insurance we have 2 rental options:
Rent our 3-seater Sea-Doo or 50-hp Playbuoy pontoon boat (up to 12 persons).
This is a separate booking, please email for availability and pricing.

House is located on the quiet waters of the popular Six Pound Creek, just minutes by boat to Eaton Ferry bridge where you have two marinas, The Pointe Restaurant, and Waterview Restaurant. Across Eaton Ferry Bridge (by car) is a mini shopping mall with groceries, lake apparel shopping, fast food (Hwy 55), and a gas station.

This is a No Pets, No Smoking property.

More details of the interior:
Walking into the main floor you have an open living area with a gas fireplace, ceiling fan, and large flat-screen tv that leads to an open stairway with two-story views of the lake. Off to the left, we have a newly added full bathroom. Next down the hall is our spacious King Deluxe suite that leads into a newly renovated full bath with a freestanding soaking tub. Back to the main living space is the kitchen area with a high bar and dining table that seats 6. This leads out to the oversized wrap-around lakeside porch with killer views. There are multiple sliding doors off the kitchen and main living spaces. You will also have full access to our washer and dryer located on the main floor.
Heading upstairs you come to a double bunk-bed-set and trundle-bed Bedroom - 2 full beds and 4 twin beds all in one room. You may also turn the trundle (2 twins) into a king-size bed. Heading downstairs, to the lower level, there is another living area with a kitchenette that includes a fridge, microwave, and sink. This lower living area is where you'll find the covered patio to enjoy the evening views. There are two bedrooms on the lower level. One is a private room with a plush Queen bed. The second bedroom is loaded with custom built-in bunk beds (3 twins), a full bed, and a futon that sleeps 2. There is one full bathroom on this lower level, with a tub/shower combo.

Beautiful view and location!
Pretty house with a beautiful view of the lake! Very peaceful and relaxing weekend. We were a bit disappointed that the hot tub and fireplace were not working since those were a couple of features why we chose this house over some others we considered. We did enjoy the pedal boat! Overall, we had a great weekend!

Great Stay
We really did enjoy our trip to this house. Quiet and calm area of the lake, and main floor of the house is beautiful. Dock is nice, and our group had a wonderful time using the space. Would definitely recommend the house. My only real complaint is that there is no trash service, so having to pack out a weeks worth of trash from 18 people was a pain. The nearby and recommended waste facility wasn’t open for the last few days of the week, so it was a 20 min drive with a lot of smelly trash in a van.

Great Weekend with Fellow Engineering Alumni
We had a group of 7 NC State Alumni who enjoyed a weekend trip. We had fun jumping off the 2nd floor of the dock, paddling in the kayaks, sitting around the fire, and playing games in the game room.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Mathews

Host profile image
This home is owned by two families, the Olmstead's and the Mullins.
We take pride in this home and have spent many hours making this place feel like a HAVEN.
The Olmstead Family:
Husband and wife of 25 years with 4 kids. Christian is a general contractor. We were born and raised in upstate NY and moved to NY in 2000. The weather, our careers, and the Lord are what brought us here. We absolutely love everything about NC and we are beyond thrilled to own our first vacation home on the Lake.
The Mullins Family:
Husband and wife of 19 years with 4 kids. Nate is a general contractor. The Mullins also come from upstate NY and have lived in NC for close to 17 years as well. They reside in Clayton NC and enjoy the outdoors, family time, and traveling.

Why they chose this property

When we purchased this property in March of 2021 we saw so much potential. We recognized that what you can not change much of is the view. These views are to die for and the location was exactly what we wanted. A small quiet cove, two story boat dock and great adventurous surroundings. Being on highly desired Six Pound Creek was perfect for us.
With both owners being custom home builders we went right at the design phase of this home. We believe we have restored this home to show it's true beauty. We updated it to allow you to enjoy a hassle free vacation, full of great family fun. Through the years, we desire to improve the grounds so vacationers enjoy it more and more each year.

What makes this property unique

Wraparound decks to enjoy the beauty.
Outdoor activities like kayaking and paddle boating.
WINDOWS!!! The views are everywhere. We hope you will be able to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Haven.
Boat rental is available for those with their own boat insurance. Contact us for the availability of the Pontoon and/or Jet Ski.
