Welcome to The Lodge at Lake Gaston

Wake up to panoramic main-lake views, enjoy coffee on the deck as the lake comes to life, spend the day swimming, boating, kayaking, or fishing from the private dock, and finish the evening with homemade pizzas from the outdoor pizza oven, s'mores around the fire pit, and spectacular views over the water.
This spacious home comfortably accommodates families and groups, with plenty of room to spread out while still enjoying time together.

The Home
Our authentic log home combines the warmth and character of a mountain lodge with the beauty of a waterfront retreat. Large windows throughout the home showcase the lake, and the open living areas make it easy for everyone to gather together.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare everything from quick breakfasts to holiday meals. Enjoy dinner inside or dine outdoors while overlooking the lake.

Outdoor Living
This is where most guests spend their time.
Start your morning on the deck with coffee and lake views. Swim from the dock, launch the kayaks, spend the afternoon cruising the main lake, or simply relax with a book by the water.
As evening approaches, gather around the pizza oven to create homemade pizzas, grill dinner, and enjoy the fire pit under the stars.

The property was clean and well stocked. Communication was clear, prompt, and very helpful. The dock was amazing, and our group of 11 had the best week despite some rainy weather.
This is a beautiful home & property. Plenty of room for all 7 of our family. Kids loved the basement & spent the time not on the lake playing all the games provided. The view from the deck was spectacular & coffee in the morning was our favorite. The kids also loved the boat dock with the slide & used the kayaks & paddle board all the time. This is a fully equipped home that made our week a wonderful time. Beds were very comfortable & firepit was fun. Didn't try the pizza oven but is cool. And then there's Lisa, who is a very responsive host responding to my many questions often within a couple hours. This is a perfect place to enjoy Lake Gaston!
Wonderful stay on lake Gaston. Cozy super clean cabin with tons of amenities enjoyed by our family ages 8 to 73. Great gathering and dining areas, watercraft available, tvs with streaming, great WiFi, fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds with high end linens provided. Lots of games, dvds, great views, dock with slide , osprey and herons to watch. Great place!
We visited with a family of 8. (3 kids, 5 adults). The space was perfect for us. The rooms on the main floor had adjoining bathrooms, which was nice for some privacy, one person stayed upstairs, though there was space for 2-3 more, and she had her own bathroom. The 3 kids stayed in the basement, and they loved all of the "extras" down there. Our 13 year old spent the evenings learning to play the piano! Our 8 year old loved the video game console and the ping pong table, and our 11 year old loved the easy access to the dock. The house has everything you need - the views are amazing, and we loved our time on the back deck (morning coffee and conversation) and the dock was where we spent the majority of our time, between the slide, the kayaks, the raft, the boat. The games in the basement were a nice bonus as well -- charades, trivial pursuit, apples to apples, puzzles. We would stay here again.
This was a great property. It was very clean and provided everything we needed for a long weekend. Communication with Lisa the owner was great. Having the pontoon rental on site was great as well. We would stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. It was super clean at check-in and had everything we needed!
The location was great and the dock is fantastic.
Plenty of room for our 9 adults.
This property was amazing and very clean! Beautiful views, house had everything for a great time and pontoon rental was the finishing touch. I would definitely stay here again.
Such a comfortable house with great amenities!! Hosts could not be more accommodating. We have stayed here several times before and plan to come back next year.
We had a great stay! The property is exactly as advertised. Lots of fun amenities and a great view as well as location on the lake itself. Highly recommend!
This was the perfect house to vacation with our children & their families! Very well equipped with everything you may need! We’ve created wonderful memories here!
It was a glorious stay in a well equipped and thoroughly thought out beautiful home.They had everything you could want or need and then some. Special mention to the kindness and assistance by the owners! We all thank you and look forward to the next time!
Gorgeous Cabin on Lake Gaston. Owners super responsive and a pleasure to work with. We had 4 kids, and everyone had an incredibly enjoyable weekend on the water! Highly recommend this house and owners.
The property was a perfect way to kick off the New Year with family. The house was warm and comfortable with plenty of things to keep the teens and adults entertained. The host was very easy to communicate with and did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable! Would recommend this house to others.
The Lodge is a lovely home with great amenities. It's close to shopping, the quilt store and restaurants. Gorgeous lake views. We had a wonderful, issue-free weekend - thank you very much!
The Lodge was exactly as advertised. It was very well stocked and very well organized. The labeling and information was excellent. The interior was so comfortable and accommodations were excellent. The log beds on the main floor were a true work of art. The privacy of the accommodations from one floor to the next was incredible. We would rent this property again, for family and friends of all ages, without any hesitation.

Why they chose this property
I fell in love with the rustic but beautiful log cabin style and the beautiful views of the main lake from nearly every room in the house. There are so few log cabin homes on the lake!
I also love our boat house and dock area. It's particularly large and we have an extended covered area that is beautiful and comfortable all year round (even in the summer since it is covered). We also have tons of chairs for relaxing with family and friends on the dock. There is a granite bar and a drink fridge inside the boat house. And everyone loves the water slide. We spend most of our time on the dock!
Whenever I am at our house I truly feel like I'm on vacation.
