Fantastic Week

Travel to Lake Gaston with my entire family (16 of us total with an age range from 4 years old to 84) and we had an amazing time. The house was beautiful, the dock (swimming and fishing) was incredible, the pontoon boat a blast, the view amazing with plenty of space to relax, have meals together, enjoy family time, play games and just unwind. Adam was a fantastic host who provided fantastic information about the home, the area, our stay and offered great help along the way. It was a hall of fame vacation and one our family will never forget.

Fantastic Lake House!

Beautiful home located on a peaceful lake. We take a family vacation with 3 generations every year. This was one of the best! All ages had an awesome time with so many activities in the house and on the lake to keep them busy. We loved this vacation and have wonderful memories to cherish. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous home and lakefront property.

Amazing property on the quieter end of the lake

This house has it all, pool table, hot tub, game room, table tennis, bar, large tvs in the bedrooms, kids bunk room. It has a mack daddy boat house complete with jumping platform, and 3 boat lifts. All the neccessary lifejackets and water toys you can think of- the splash pad was a crowd favorite- kayaks paddlepoards etc!We stayed a week with two families and a grandpa (11 total) and we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the time. There was an endless supply of things to do at the lake house, which is important because Lake Gaston is in a very rural setting. The house was stocked with pretty much anything you can think of, and the boat was big enough to accomodate our entire party if need be, though we never had all 11 on at one time. We were worried about seeing fireworks on the 4th, so we set out on the boat, but right across the lake, one of the houses put on what seemed to be a professional quality fireworks show that lasted over 30 minutes! It was a vacation to be remembered for all the kids, and they all consider themselves professional lake tubers now.Adam was a wonderful host and made some accomodations for us that he didn't have to. We were super grateful to be in such good hands at such a beautuful property. I spent a lot of time going back and forth between different properties before pulling the trigger on this one. It was the most expensive by a bit, but the best by far! I can't think of a single negative about the property

Amazing Vacation Rental

Our family had an amazing week and this property only added to the experience. All of the items we needed were already there from the kitchen to the Lake. The house was clean and up to date. The amenities were perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. The owners are quick communicators and the entire process was seamless. GREAT property!

Great house with lots of space

We absolutely enjoyed this property and look forward to visiting it again! The house is very spacious and the outdoor space it awesome! One more bathroom will be great which they are putting in by next year… but we have no complaints! The house is well stocked and it’s an awesome place to come in and not leave your entire stay except by boat!

Beautiful Lake House

It was our first time in a lake house, and we fell in love with it. We had so much fun with the pontoon, kayaks and paddle boards! We watched the sunset everyday while on the kayaks and paddle boards, it was very, very peaceful. The hot tub was a great way to end the day. The house has everything you need, it was very clean and very comfortable for a big family. The game room was so much fun for everyone! Adam was very helpful through out the check in and check out process. We can’t wait to go back!

Great House, Not So Great Location

If you’re looking for remote, this is the place for you. The house is beautiful, but there is nothing nearby for at least 25 minutes. Also, be ready to lug all your own garbage to a dump, because that’s what part of your stay requires.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Firefly Bay on Lake Gatson. The house had everything you can imagine and more. Every room has a beautiful lakeview and perfect sleeping arrangements for multiple families. We were able to enjoy the pontoon boat, tubing, kayaks, and endless hours in the gameroom.

Great house!

The house and property were exactly how described. We had a couple families with several small kids. The location is perfect for tubing and water skiing since it’s not that busy of an area on the lake. Water is clean and calm! Only negative is that there is no yard. The property in on a hill and there is no flat area for kids to play. Luckily everyone in our group loves the lake and didn’t need a yard. Would definitely stay here again!
