It was absolutely perfect! Loved being on the lake, the dock that my brother was able to drive his boat up to, and the sandy beach! And the dogs loved it too! The place was perfect, very clean, host was very responsive. It was even better than the photos. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back!

I booked this for our youngest son’s wedding and couldn’t have been happier. Beautiful setting - we watched deer while eating breakfast. There were 4 bedrooms - each with their own bathroom which was perfect for my other sons and their wives. My sons loved the ability to fish in the downtime and it was large enough that we could enjoy eating and spending time together. We enjoyed our stay!

This home truly is a gem for those looking for a quiet getaway right on the water. The best things about this home have been the views, ample seating and spacious areas for gathering, and a beautiful area all around. The house was clean upon arrival. The perks have been the kayaks that are available for use, on-site, laundry, and an ice machine in the kitchen.The advice that I would give to make improvements would be to offer cleaning supplies like Windex spray and Clorox wipes so that we could keep the house tidy. Also, only four dishwasher tabs and two trash bags were provided. If renters should bring these things, it would be helpful to note that. I also would recommend that the owner get baking sheets for the kitchen.To sum up our stay, we agree that this home is worth saving in your search. Everyone in our party from 6 years, to teens, to adults enjoyed their stay!

Wonderful Hideaway !

We were pleased with everything during our stay at the Hideaway. The pictures on VRBO did not do this place justice. The rooms were spacious and the many sitting areas allowed us to enjoy peaceful times - together and separately. The view of the lake was awesome and the calm cove that the house is on was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay!

This was the perfect stay for our youth mentoring while visiting Charlotte. Rooms and beds were very accommodating to our sleeping policies and guidelines. The lake added a relaxing atmosphere. We will save this site for future visits!

About the host

Hosted by Charles H. Hutchins, M. D.

Host profile image
Charles H. Hutchins, M. D. - Facial Plastic Surgeon
in practice in Gastonia, NC for 38 years:
Laser Skin Care, P.L.L.C.
Cecile B. Hutchins, RN - wife x 50 years
2 daughters; 2 grandsons

Why they chose this property

We bought the property in 1974, when we moved to Gastonia, and it has been our main source of recreation all these years. Our two daughters grew up with the place. As our family expanded, we found it expedient to do the major renovation and addition in 2004.
In 1987 we bought the Cozy Cottage (VRBO#484074) next door; it sleeps eight .

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the open spacious feeling, the nautical theme decor, the large screen porch, the shady decks, the private setting, and the surrounding woods and wildlife. The relatively smooth water of the cove renders it ideal for water sports and offers protection from the big waves of the main channel. Our lot with 156 frontage feet of shoreline is located in a nook that maintains our sand beach.
