Family Vacation at Lake Gaston
We couldn't have picked a better home for our first trip to Lake Gaston. The Blue Heron is perfect for large groups with kids and was one of the cleanest and well stocked rentals my family has ever stayed at. We enjoyed the large kitchen and spacious living areas for our group of 12 to spread out. The kids especially appreciated all of the games, toys, and floats that came with the house. The weather was exceptionally hot, so we basically lived in the water all week, swimming and floating from the dock and beach for hours on end. The owner is very responsive and ensured we had a smooth (and early!) check-in.

Great place for our family of 11!
We enjoyed this home, we spent our days down by the water kayaking, relaxing in our floats, the kids could go out to the water from the beach area and fish off the dock. The owner kept in touch making sure we had a great stay. We hope to return year after next (we have a family trip to Ireland next year.) This is a great place to stay!

Great Place for Families
This was a great house for a large group. We had 3 families vacation together and there was plenty of space to accommodate everyone! The location is quiet with the cove that was perfect for the kids to swim, fish and play in. Lots of memories created and looking forward to creating many more!

Great House - Great Location
This house works very well for large groups with 2 full kitchens and many bedrooms. The owner was awesome communicating before our visit and really easy to reach when we needed to find something! The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Great boat dock in a small cove right off the main lake. I would highly recommend this house.

Family Yearly Week at Lake Gaston
Our two son's and our four grandson's had a great week at the lake. One of our daughter-in-law was able to join us the last two days. We mainly went tubing, boat riding, fishing, swimming, grilling, and played board games. We enjoyed a meal at the WatersView restaurant as well as takeout from Lake Gaston Pizza and Pino's Pizza & Restuarant. We have stayed several years at the Blue Heron and have enjoyed each visit. It is a great place with the right accomodations for our family.

Fantastic home, in a quiet place on the lake, offering a fun and relaxing stay
I'm not sure you could find a better experience on the lake than the Blue Heron! There is way more room here than you will need for your large family getaway. The house has a wonderful walk-in beach, an astounding main-lake cover dock which is great for fishing, a hot tub for relaxing, fire pit for roasting your marshmallows and peace and quiet like nowhere else on the lake. The house is fully stocked with all the appliances, utensils and dishes you could want.

Huge family house
This large home is well stocked to host multiple families. It's a great location on the lake and easy to access from I-95. The home owner and property manager are very friendly and accommodating. We had refrigerator concerns that were addressed immediately. The home interior is country casual style. The beds could be updated. We enjoyed the amenities like the hot tub, boat house and fire pit. We did not have the opportunity to use the gas fireplaces. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, a few details could be addressed but otherwise a nice home.

Well-appointed house in great location!
Our family just had a wonderful week at the Blue Heron. The home was more than enough space for our combined families with six kids, five adults and one pup. Located in a cove off the main lake with a great two-story dock. We had a great time jumping off the lower deck (can’t jump off top one), fishing, and relaxing in tubes. Boat ramp access was close enough. About ten mins from Food Lion, ABC Store, and Ace Hardware. We had wonderful weather but the screened in porch made evenings in the rain a comfortable place to play card games. Kitchen had pretty much everything we needed and the home was well-kept. There was no umbrella or shade up on the top deck of boat dock, and it was HOT so we did end up buying a canopy tent. Sadly it wasn’t the best quality and the rain one night broke it despite us lowering it. It would definitely be helpful to have some sort of table / umbrella up there. We had brought a folding table that we ended up putting there for the week. Another full size refrigerator would also come in handy and cut down on trips to grocery store for food and ice. But those things were easy to deal with and didn’t take away from the great time we had. The pictures of this home do it no justice. We already had good expectations going in, but we’re still pleasantly surprised at the layout and space. Hoping to book again next year - impressive house, awesome location, and owner is great to deal with. Thank you!

Large lovely home in short cove off main lake
We had a wonderful week at this large home with plenty of space for all to spread out, fully stocked kitchen, great double decker boathouse with beach and kayaks, and comfortable beds and furniture. The screened-in porch was an added plus. It's on a short cove within a kayak ride of the main lake...perfect! Monte was available whenever we had a question...the most responsive host we've had; thank you! Highly recommend this property. Felt like home.

Nice lake getaway
13 of us descended upon the property, which was big enough for Everyone have their own bed. The house is big with lots of space for eating round tables and to sit around and talk. The screened porch is nice and there is also a large deck. The boathouse provided shade and a place to jump into the lake. The lake. Itself is very clean. The little Cove that we stayed in was right off of the main lake at the 1st mile marker we rented a pontoon for a couple of days and had fun scouting out the lake. There are lots of houses on this lake and the neighbors Are very close to the house. Fortunately, no one was in those homes while we were staying there so we had a measure of privacy. Homeowner provided lots of water toys for the kids to have fun with.

The location was perfect, a quiet little piece of heaven with its own private mini beach, yet still connected to the main lake. With the mini beach, boat house, multitude of decks and screened in porch, Kayaks/SPB, hot tub, and closet full of toys for the littles, there was something for everyone. The multiple kitchens, dining areas, and spacious living rooms made it easy for us to share this space with friends/family without feeling like we were on top of each other the whole time!

Awesome Family Vacation Spot
We had the best time during our week long stay at the Blue Heron celebrating our son’s high school graduation with all of the grandparents. So many memories made! We did not want to leave. The place is very clean, comfortable and nice and roomy. It is at a great location. Our dogs loved swimming at the beach and we loved hanging out at the boat dock. We felt right at home and anything we forgot to bring we found supplied at the house by Monty and Wanda. They are great hosts and provide a stress free stay. Highly recommend!

Blue Heron is a beautiful home in an equally beautiful setting. Well equipped, plenty of comfortable spaces for our family to spread out (inside and out), but also great gathering spaces for games, meals and just hanging out together. Our 3-generation family came together to enjoy the holiday. We cooked all our meals in the comfortable kitchen, making it really convenient. Morning coffee on the dock deck is a must! It was our first trip to Lake Gaston and what a great way to experience it!
