This property was perfect.
Location: On the main lake near middle of the lake, 10 mins or less drive into the main town- which has Food Lion, Marinas and Boat Rental, and restaurants. The house has only one neighboring house and all woods on one side, which made the place feel private. There are also tall trees driectly behind the of the house, which makes the main lake feel more private.
The House: Has everything you need. Owners spared no expense when furnishing this property. The layout is optimal for a prime experience on the lake. The pictures represent the house very well. Would actually say they underepresent how massive the deck is on the main floor.
The views from the deck were incredible, since the hosue was built into a hill. The Grill works and easy to use (which is not a given) Plenty of bedrooms with comfy beds. The suite above the garage was a nice touch. Nice kitchen, bar area and pantry behind. The Sonos sound system is connected throuhgout the house, although we couldn't get it working in all the areas. Plenty of appliances in kitchen as well. The dock house was probably the best part.
Rental Management: The Lake Gaston Guidebook provided by owners/rental company was great.The automated text messages and emails from owners reinforced the check in and check out procedures, making it easier to follow. Starter pack of towels/ garbage bags, toilet paper was provided. Check out time is 10AM, and cleaners were waiting to clean the property at 9:55.
