Our weekend at Amazing Sunsets was breathtaking. The sunsets, the sunrise, just the amazing lake view is awesome! We enjoyed so much time relaxing and fishing off of the dock. Plenty of sitting space around the table. Enjoyed boat fishing also, leaving from their boat dock. The house is so comfortable, equiped with everything needed to relax and enjoy family time. Our dog felt right at home inside and out. Don was so easy to communicate with. We want to return as we miss the lake view already!

The dock and location were fantastic! Beautiful sunsets The house was well suited for our group of 9 and we loved all the indoor games for when the group needed a break from the water. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice house in a great location!

Location of house on the lake was perfect. The dock house sold us on the rental and did not disappoint from the view to the shaded areas and tiki bar with fridge plus a closet filled with water toys, wonderful! We have already booked here for next summer!

We’re so glad you enjoyed the dock house and lake views! Thank you for booking again for next summer, we look forward to hosting you!
The home was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed for a weekend, 3 adults and one teen. The house is very roomy, could easily accommodate a large group. The views were breathtaking. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming in the lake. We rented a boat for a day and everyone enjoyed that as well. We spent a lot of time on the dock which was awesome. Overall it was a relaxing weekend at a super nice house. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was very clean and in a quiet part of the lake. The owner worked with us on our check-in needs, which was much appreciated. The basement in particular is a very nice space and great to gather after a day in the sun.

This is the second time we have stayed here as a family vacation. As usual, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house offers everything you could possibly want. I would stay here every year if it's available and still at an affordable rate.

We loved our stay at this house! The location was perfect and the views from the house and the dock were beautiful. The house had plenty of space for everyone, including the dogs! The gated porch was great to keep the dogs in. Everything was clean and neat. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing time! There were so many things to do. The view was beautiful and they put a lot of thought into providing lots of options. Planning to return during the warmer months so that we can take more advantage of the outdoor activities.

Communication was great and check-in and out was very easy. We absolutely loved the lake view from the house and boat dock. The boat dock is lovely! No TV and the refrigerator didn't seem to be working but perhaps that was due to being off season. We didn't use the fire pit because of the weather but it was set up nicely with chairs and previous renters had left firewood. The kitchen is nicely equipped with 2 refrigerators (3rd refrigerator is in basement), plenty of dishes, and everything you need to prepare meals. The kids loved the arcade games and pool table downstairs which was great since the weather wasn't the best. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this house again.

We had a great time here. Brought our boat and tied up at the dock. The house is located in a protected area from the main lake and we had a great time hanging out on the water. House is well stocked with water toys, so be sure to check them out. Listing is as described and the house is well maintained. Definitely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. Fires, fishing, cards, pool, ping pong, boating, family meals and perfect weather. Even with 66 degree water temp we tubed and water skied! Plenty of kitchen supplies, plenty of room for all our food. Our dogs loved the dock and the yard. We will be back!

The interior of the home was clean but the exterior was not clean at all. We had to clean what it seemed to be weeks/months worth of dirt and grime away from any area we planned to use. Sorry, we did not take pictures but wish we had. We only stayed (2) nights. Great location and overall amenities. The owner seems to strictly in it for the ROI

Hi James,
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location and overall amenities. We were happy to accommodate your early check-in, even with your concerns about the fee, and we’re sorry we weren’t able to offer a late checkout due to the next guest’s arrival.
We appreciate your note about the deck. Unfortunately, multiple storms in the area delayed our scheduled power washing, and we apologize that it wasn’t in ideal condition during your stay. The issue was addressed as soon as possible after your departure.
Thanks again for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts—it truly helps us improve.
My family and our friends live in MD. We met our sons who live in NC. The house was perfect for our group of 12. It is very spacious with lots of seating. The covered boat deck was awesome since our weather wasn’t great. The amenities were as advertised and there were a lot. We had a great weekend and would definitely go back.

About the host
Your host
Hello! I'm Don, your host at "Awesome Sunsets" on Lake Gaston. We're a family with three grown-up boys who still love to vacation at the lake along with their families, including our two adorable granddaughters. We're lucky to have four furry friends as well - a Golden Retriever, a Rottweiler, and two German Shepherds - who make our family time even more fun!
We first discovered Lake Gaston about five years ago when we downsized our boat for more family-friendly activities. We fell in love with the clean and warm water, and it quickly became our dream home location. After months of searching, we found "Awesome Sunsets" and knew it was the perfect fit for us. We decided to share our home as a vacation rental and connected with Bob, our amazing co-host with years of Lake Gaston rental experience, to help us provide the best possible experience for our guests.
We're open to suggestions and ideas from your perspective to make your family vacation at "Awesome Sunsets" truly amazing. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
