We had a great week (July 2025)! Perfect size house for our family of 6. House was well appointed and maintained. Excellent outdoor areas (boathouse and patio). Fun game room/tv room in basement. Good beds and baths. Loved location near Eaton Ferry Marina and mid-lake. One small downside is the shallow/mucky water off the dock, but you only have to go out a short way to get to great spots for swimming/floating, which we did all day. Owner was very responsive to all my messages, including an emergency service call to fix a/c mid-week (an easy fix). I recommend this house and would stay here again.
I cannot say enough about this beautiful home. It is so well maintained and comfortable. It is beautifully decorated. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The home is stocked with everything you can possibly need.Hanging out on the covered dock was such a treat. There was plenty of seating for everyone. We loved having coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon on the screened in porch. The homeowner was always quick to respond with thoughtful helpful messages. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the perfect July 4!
The house was incredibly clean and the beds were comfortable. We loved having fires in the fire pit and hanging out on the beautiful dock. The cove is nice and quiet, perfect for kayaking with the kayaks provided. It's also quick and easy to get to the main lake and the dock is a perfect place to park your boat. In addition to the house being fantastic, communication with Valerie was incredible. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We were very pleased with the location we were able to rent this year. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. We will diffidently consider this property if we come back to Lake Gaston in the future.
What a gem on Lake Gaston! This vacation rental was everything we hoped for and more. The beautiful views and peaceful setting in a secluded cove made it the perfect escape. We especially loved waking up to the sound of birds singing each morningâit was like natureâs own soundtrack. The huge screened-in porch on the second floor was a dream come true for my art projectsâso much space, fresh air, and inspiring scenery. Whether you're looking for a family getaway or a quiet retreat for two, this spot checks all the boxes. Highly recommend!
This is the second year we have stayed in this lakehouse as we love it. The host is gracious and she thinks of even the smallest details. We look forward to next years trip. The Shearins are great hosts .
This was our first experience using Vrbo for a family vacation so we were pessimistic everything would work out perfectly...I was wrong. The owner provided amazing communication and details and check-in was simple. The property was super clean and inviting! We really appreciated the fact that everything in the house is quality e.g., comfort of beds, linens, kitchenware, etc. The boathouse provided plenty of room to relax and listen to music while fishing. Everyone was sad to leave but we will definitely be booking another trip here. Thanks so much!
They house was clean and had everything we could have possibly needed. The kitchen was very well stocked, plenty of towels. My grown children had so much fun just hanging out together playing games and laughing all night. I would highly recommend this lake house. We will be coming back to stay here.
We enjoyed our stay, we especially appreciated the new boat dock and close proximity to the main lake. Communication with host was a breeze and the house is well appointed.
Valerie was a fantastic host. Communication and booking was excellent. Couldnât say enough about this beautiful home! The boathouse was great with a beautiful view of the lake. The host provided everything you might need for a great stay.
We didn't leave the property once in five days. If I had to use one word to describe our stay here, it would be "peaceful." Everything you need is there! Super comfy beds in every single room. The host was very responsive, helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is located in a quiet cove, and was the ideal size for our family of 8. The owners have recently upgraded the home and the dock / boat slip and sidewalk to the dock are brand new.
Beautiful home and superbly maintained property with careful attention to all details to ensure a fun filled vacation on the lake!
Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sunset Cove! Very relaxing, great set up and easy to visit! The only item to add is local channels on the tv - the Olympics were on major network.
The home, porch, patio, boat house was amazing and it worked great for our boat! The home is very. clean and had lots of amenities. Thank you!
I recently stayed at a beautiful lake house and had an incredible experience. The property was in a great location, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities you would for a great stay at the lake including surplus of towels, games, and bedding. The serene lake views and peaceful surroundings made for a perfect getaway. The hosts were friendly and responsive, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this lake house for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable vacation!
This was a wonderful vacation from the time we set foot on the property till we had to leave. This house is spacious and had everything we could want and more! It is very clean and the decor is very much modern and inviting. The whole family appreciated the screened in porch where we ate supper- totally bug free! The dock was perfect with shade and sun for all. The best part was that in this quiet cove, we felt like we had it all to ourselves and floated blissfully during the day. I could go on and on! The property owner was very communicative and that is very much appreciated. You canât go wrong with this house.
The lake house was as described in the listing. It was a lovely setting and well equipped, the beds comfortable and room for all. The screened porch was a great addition-coffee in the morning,dinner at night and some of us worked a few hours in a peaceful setting.
We all said we would happily return.and stay there again.âââââȘïž. additiit was a beautiful view of the lake, a
There are so many positive things to say about this vacation homeâŠ
It was classically remodeled and was decorated with the cutest details here and there. Valerie is a REALLY great host!! She even came to our aid in the rain to help us with the boat ramp access⊠she was super easy to contact and work with. I thank her and her family for her kindness and generosity with their wonderful lake house. It literally is the perfect lake house âŠ
My family tends to be hard to find accommodations for due to some disabilities, and this home provided us a vacation, and for that I am grateful!!
I Loved the property, and we were all happy!
Things that I would suggest to be âaddedâ would be-
A TV in the living room upstairs.
And
Some âTaller/comfortableâseating.
(My elderly dad is really tall and I have a sister with mild disabilities)
They werenât able to make it down to the water or the game room âas easyâ to enjoy all the fun⊠so they got âboredâ a bit⊠but weâre all âHappyâ đ
Again, these are just âsuggestionsâ đ
If my family wasnât so âuniqueâ it would have been PERFECT!!
I wish we were able to access the sidewalk down to the water from the front of the house⊠however, there is a small deck on the side of the screened porch. We made it work though đ
But⊠that is one thing that I was âhoping forâ in the rental âŠ
Over all I would give the property more than 5 stars if I was able!! If you are looking at this home, you will not be disappointed.
The house is big enough for 2 families to stay and spread out. The dock is a great place to hangout and even fish! The kitchen is well stocked and the screened in porch is wonderful for family meals. Valerie was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Thank you!
