A few more tid-bits... :)
1. The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system. This system is a finely balanced biological system. Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper. Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.
2. Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves. Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boats.(make sure to bring your bumpers!).
3. Culverts & Bridges: Be sure to lower your bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts. Appearances can be deceiving!
4. Security Camera Disclosure: We take your privacy very seriously. However, this home may be monitored by exterior security cameras. The cameras do not record sound. Please let us know if this is an issue with your party for any reason.

Terrific property with tons to do for the entire family. Game room was a hit! Tons of deck space, only steps from the lake. All rooms view your own private dock. Fire pit and splash pad. We really enjoyed our stay. Donkey Kong high score....
We definitely enjoyed our stay at this property. The house had everything that we needed along with lots of bonus items that added to our enjoyment (pool table, arcade game, pedal boat, paddle boards, kayaks, etc). Would definitely recommend this property.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Pretty Creek Retreat. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the spaciousness of the property and the great location on the cove. We're especially glad you loved the pool table room – it's a guest favorite!
We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
I rented this lovely property for a week in August for a family gathering. The house was great, roomy, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. Between the Olympics and the pool table we were well entertained when not on the lake. The location in the cove, with not a lot of boat traffic, worked well and we had plenty of room to tie up our 2 boats. I brought a swim mat that got lots of use just tied to the pier. Also having a community boat ramp just 0.3 mi from the house was so convenient. Our rental agent was great and promptly responded to our questions.
Bottom line, we are planning on renting this property again next summer.
