About this property
Lake Life is the BEST Life! Main Lake with Beach!
It's a new name, but it's the same great property! This property was formerly called "Livin The Dream" Lake Gaston. The home features two living spaces, an open-concept kitchen/dining area, decks/balconies overlooking the sandy beach and main lake waters, a bedroom with a king-size bed and full bath on the main level, two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the second floor, and a walkout terrace level with a full bath and laundry. Guests can use our three kayaks and two paddle boards for no additional cost. The basement is also full of fun! There are lots of games, including trivia, foosball, Golden Tee, ping-pong, a poker table, and corn hole. Several floats, some sand toys for kids, two beach chairs, three folding outdoor chairs, and fishing poles are also included for use. We are steps away from the pickleball/tennis and basketball court. All the equipment needed to play is included in your stay. Nights sitting by a fire out on the back porch watching the sunset are the best!
The location is central to shopping/dining/golfing/watersports. Summers on the lake are fun; however, this home offers fun year-round!
We are a dog-friendly home! There is a Pet Fee of $25/day

Thank you! We love when guest enjoy their stay so much they come back.
We love that you enjoyed the amenities! Two of my favorite things to do when we are at the lake is to get up first thing in the morning to go kayaking with a cup of coffee and float in the water to take a nap. (that is why I bought the anchor for the floats so I can rest and not worry about floating away lol). Hope to host you again. thank you for taking such good care of the house while you were there.
Very clean and well appointed - which is always important! & we loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the view of the lake. My husband also enjoyed taking the kayak out. Great visit!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! The view is one of the main things that sold us on the house. The sunsets are something we never get tired of .
We would love to host you again if your in the area.
Loved this property! Had a great time at beginning of spring break week. Lake was quiet and a little cold but perfect for our long weekend getaway. Our 4 kids enjoyed the downstairs game room and game closet. We took the paddle boards out and did some fishing. Thank you for the awesome memories, we will be back!

Lake memories are memories that last for a lifetime! It makes us so happy to hear you enjoyed your visit and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.
While visiting the area for a wedding, we loved our stay in this extremely well-provisioned property! We took beach chairs down to the sandy beach and had a nice quiet day at the water’s edge. There’s an outdoor plug so I was able to charge my hybrid. Sweet little community and very welcoming host.

Lots of space, even for a construction crew! We enjoyed our stay, even thought it was work related. A beautiful and comfortable home with beautiful views. Cleanup was easy and they even had laundry detergent for washing clothes. Wonderful lodgings for a great price. Thank you!

Thank you! We do love how close and nice the beach area is to house. The island is my favorite spot to walk to in the morning and just sit for a few minutes, the views out there is incredible and it is so peaceful! It is also a good spot to hang out and play cornhole :). We hope to host you again in the future!

Thank you! The proximity to the water is a bonus all year round, it is great for swimming but also for for fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding. The views of the water from the house also make it a nice spot to sit and relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
We hope to host you again in the future.
The townhouse was beautiful with magnificent views from to to bottom.

Thank you for your review!
One of the reasons we chose this property is the location, it is quiet, close to the beach and you really can't beat the views!
We hope to host you again!
Great spot for our vacation. The beach area (which was super close to the house) was perfect for the kids. Maria was very responsive, the house had everything we needed and the views were beautiful! Lovely neighborhood as well. Close to a few spots (bakery, coffee shop, grocery store, mini golf) which was helpful. Enjoyed our stay!

About the host
Hosted by Maria and Myatt Meier
My husband and I met in Atlanta; we lived there until his job relocated us to New England in 2009. We have visited family at Lake Gaston for the last 15 years. We love spending time with family at the lake, where boating, water sports, jet skiing, kayaking, and paddle boarding are the highlights. Our goal is to have a place that guests want to keep coming back to, memories made at the lake are memories you will have forever. I was fortunate enough to grow up on a lake in NY, we lived close to a lake in Georgia and when my cousins bought lake houses on Lake Gaston, we were fortunate enough to spend a week every summer here. My kids learned how to kneeboard, ski, wake surf and have gone for many tube rides. They have also learned how to kayak/ paddleboard. My husband has been known to grab a jet ski and disappear for hours at a time! It is being with family/friends and spending time that is the most important. Lake Gaston is the perfect location for my family in the south to meet up with those of us who now live up North,
Why they chose this property
Enjoy convenient access to golf, shopping, and restaurants, all while having a front-row seat to the stunning sunsets that the lake offers every day. We cherish our time at the lake with family and are excited to share our home, allowing others to create their own memorable experiences.
What makes this property unique
Stunning views! Quiet cove with a sandy beach, pickleball, and basketball courts. Within 4 miles of Lake Gaston Golf Club. Nearby are The Point Restaurant, Waterview Restaurant, ABC Liquors, Food Lion, Jenny Cakes, and Lake Gaston Pizza, to name a few. Great Fishing! State Record Blue Catfish is from Lake Gaston over 100lbs! Only 20 minutes to Rosemont Winery in Virginia for some great wine tastings. Home offers a brand new kitchen in 2020 rental season with Stainless appliances. 4 bathrooms completely updated in 2020 with granite countertops, new showers and sinks. We offer kayaks and paddle-boards free of charge to use during your stay Brand new smart TV's Foosball Table Ping Pong Table Card Table Basement Bar Golden Tee
