Perfect for Our Family

Great weather, perfect home (just the right amount of rustic). Kids especially enjoyed the dock and the floating mat. Adults enjoyed the kayaks and firepit. Truly a perfect place for our family. Owners have done a wonderful job in maximizing the space!

Great time

Location is fantastic. In a cove that is easy to access the main lake with some, but not a lot of boat traffic. Close to grocery store etc. House is nice and comfortable. Owners worked with us for everything we needed. Spent a lot of time swimming and on the dock. Dock provided right combination of sunny area and shade. Had a great time.

Perfect lake vacation

My family had a great time at this property. House was clean with plenty of room in a nice neighborhood. Excellent rental with all the things! The kids/young adults enjoyed kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding, fishing and playing games. We spent most of the day on the nice dock. The private boat ramp so close by was an added bonus. I would definitely book this property again.

RELAXING home on lake; perfect for our family

Was a perfect spot for our family, and we made some lifelong memories. Very spacious yard on the lake with a new dock complete with Bluetooth speakers. The owner is very responsive and organized with timely communication of key info. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Getaway

Five stars from start to finish. This was a wonderful vacation for my whole family. The house is even better than we could have hoped. The private dock with all the fun water toys kept us all busy from sunup to sundown. The location was perfect for the laid back vibe we were hoping for and felt like we had our own personal spot at the lake. My kids are already asking if we can come back next year, and I can’t wait (unless we buy a place of our own :))!

What a Gem!

Wonderful, clean, updated and beautifully decorated lakehouse. Was perfect for the six of us! The owner was very accomodating and the kayaks and paddle board made it extra fun for all of us! Beautiful view and a great location on the lake. The boathouse even had bluetooth speakers which my husband and teenagers enjoyed! I'm a little hesitant to say too many good things about this place because we all want to come back again! A great place for a family vacation! We didn't want to leave!

Beautiful location, comfortable house with plenty of room for our big family.

House looks deceptively small but once you walk in and see the large bottom level it had plenty of space for our group (we had six kids ranging from 9-14 and four adults). The dock is huge and the kids had a blast using the floating pad that was provided and jumping straight into the deep end of the lake. There were enough kayaks and paddle boards for everyone. We have gone to this house for the last several years and plan on continuing this family tradition for many years to come!

This was a wonderfully located, equipped and lovely lake home! My family can’t wait to go back!

We had a wonderful stay here! I grew up visiting Lake Gaston and couldn’t wait to get back! I visited with my parents and four children ranging in ages from 6-15. There was something for everyone! The dock was amazing. My children enjoyed swimming off the dock and especially the blue anchored swimming pad. I loved the paddle board and we all used the adult and kid kayaks. Our favorite nightly activity was cane pole fishing and caught lots of perch! The house was so nice. We had plenty of sleeping space and enjoyed the lake views. The yard was spacious and everyone enjoyed corn hole and wiffle ball. I am already looking forward to a visit next summer!

A relaxing lake house and great host

House has a very nice lot and amenities. Owners are obviously vested in the house and have made some updates since last year. Lake is a nice escape, and the kayaks/paddle boards are great and kept in good shape. Dock has fan, bluetooth speakers, and nice seating .... so you should spend your time outside. House is well prepared so bring your beach towels, boating stuff, and relax [Nice upgrade over houses requiring sheets and inside towels.... just one more thing to pack]. Thanks Matt. Hope to be back next year.

Perfect Family Retreat

The Wee Blue Inn is simply awesome. The house if very clean, has all cooking utensils necessary, tranquil setting with a relaxing patio over looking the lake. Corn hole, kayaks, paddleboard, hammock, you name it, this place is great. We rented a boat for two days and the dock has a place to tie up away from where the kids were swimming on the other side. A lily pad tied to the dock to lay on gave the kids and parents a place to relax. Chairs on the dock were available, along with lights and a bluetooth speaker. The lake was calm with minimal traffic. Matt promptly responded during each step of the rental booking, check-in, check-out and damage deposit return. We are more than impressed and will definitely look to see if this property is available when we venture back to Lake Gaston.

Fun on the lake

We had a great time on our mini vacation on Gaston Lake. The house and property was great, everything you need for a great stay, very clean and lots of room. My grandson loved all the lake toys provided. We rented a boat and everyone enjoyed riding the boat and the boat toys. The fire pit was a hit also. Overall a great vacation, would stay at this property again for sure

Great house and amenities. Everything was clean and as expected per the listing. We spent a lot of time on the dock and in the water. This part of the lake doesn't get too much traffic and a gas dock is close. Perfect getaway spot. Family loved it!

Why they chose this property

This home is located on a quiet cove with wide open views and deep water right off the end of the dock. The cove is off of Pea Hill Ceek, the largest creek at Lake Gaston, providing miles of protected water for skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing fun.
