Great Place!

We had a great stay at the Wee Blue Inn. Cozy cottage with many amenities. Enjoyed the lakefront view from both the house and dock. The communication from the owner was spot on with quick responses to questions and flexibility with check - in.

Amazing Family Getaway

We had the most amazing time at the Wee Blue Inn. The location was perfect, close to everything you need. The property manager was prompt with answering questions. The amenities were excellent. The lake was perfect. Deep enough to jump off the dock with a sand bar close by to just hang out and float around. We have stayed at several lake houses at Lake Gaston and everyone in our group agrees that this was the best place we have stayed at and look forward to coming back again.

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.

Wee Blue Inn

The eight of us had a great week at the house! 😊 The age range in our group was between 67 to 3. The "big kids and the little kids" had a fun time!😊 We spent most of our time in the water, on the porch, or on the dock. There were kayaks, a paddle board, and the two blue floating pads that everyone loved. We enjoyed making Smores and barbecuing. Plenty to do for all ages. Great set up! We are planning to come back and would highly recommend the property. Matt was the best owner we have dealt with. He always answered our questions and was very prompt in getting back to us👍🏻

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

Perfect spot

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!

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.

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 :))!

Great trip, great place for about 3 regular size families.

Was a great stay, a good place for about three families, or generations, probably 10-12 people is the right size. The view, firepit, dock, quietness, balconies, etc. were all amazing. The downstairs separate suite was great for the family with small kids, still be there but away type of thing. Three full bathrooms was also great! The size of the yard, scope of the dock, and kayaks/stuff outside, was awesome for the kids and adults. Only thing on the negative, and it's a bit of a reach, was the size of the kitchen, but there isn't much that can be done about it, they've maximized space everywhere else. It's still fully functional and we were able to cook/serve full meals for 11. Well worth the stay! Easy 5 star rating.

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.
