Waterfront Home with kayaking & pets allowed

Welcome to Serenity at Lake Gaston, a haven of peace and relaxation situated in the serene cove of Jimmies Creek, located in the northeast quadrant of the lake. This picturesque WATERFRONT home offers an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Our charming residence features four spacious bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, comfortably accommodating families and groups of friends. The layout of the home is designed with your comfort in mind, providing ample space for rest and relaxation. As you enter, you'll immediately feel the warmth and welcoming atmosphere that makes Serenity at Lake Gaston feel like a home away from home.

The property boasts a gently sloping lot that leads directly to the lake and a private dock. This convenient access to the water allows you to easily enjoy all the lake has to offer. Whether you bring your own watercraft or prefer to use our provided non-motorized water toys, including kayaks and paddleboards, there is plenty of fun to be had on the water. Spend your days exploring the lake, fishing, or simply floating leisurely under the sun.

Evenings at Serenity are magical. Gather around the fire pit to toast marshmallows for s'mores or roast hotdogs while sharing stories and enjoying the company of loved ones. The fire pit area provides the perfect setting for making lasting memories, with the crackling fire and starry sky enhancing the experience.

For those who enjoy indoor entertainment, our garage is equipped with high-speed internet and streaming TVs, ensuring you stay connected and entertained. The garage also features a variety of games including ping pong, air hockey, and foosball, offering fun for all ages. These amenities make it easy to keep everyone entertained, whether you're having a family tournament or just looking for a way to unwind.

The heart of the home is the well-equipped kitchen, which has everything you need to prepare delicious meals during your stay. With modern appliances and ample counter space, cooking is a pleasure. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining area with large windows that let in natural light and provide beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

Step outside onto the deck, where you’ll find comfortable seating perfect for dining al fresco. Enjoy your meals while watching the sunset over the lake, a breathtaking sight that adds a touch of magic to your evenings. The deck is also a great spot for morning coffee, reading a book, or simply soaking in the peaceful ambiance.

Serenity at Lake Gaston is more than just a place to stay; it's a retreat where you can reconnect with nature, spend quality time with loved ones, and create cherished memories. Whether you're seeking adventure on the water, relaxation by the fire, or fun and games indoors, our home offers something for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you to our slice of paradise and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we do.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay
We had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely with plenty of room to both spread out and all be together when desired. It was my husband and I, and our two adult children with a friend each. All of us had a blast fishing, relaxing in the water, and having a ping-pong tournament. The cove was quiet and we all really enjoyed ourselves. I think this will become an annual trip for us.

Great Family Vacation
We had a wonderful few days at Serenity. The home was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. We had fun with the games in the garage, took out the kayaks and enjoyed s'mores at the fire pit. Kitchen was very well stocked, which was a real bonus. Thanks for a great weekend and we hope to come back!

Family getaway
This house was a beautiful, peaceful, haven located just a short walk away from beautiful Lake Gaston. The view was breathtaking and relaxing. We enjoyed time on the lake with the kayaks you provided, made smores around the firepit, and played many fun games inside the house with the many games that were available. Will definitely be back!

Great property with plenty to do!
The house was perfect for our short stay during a wedding in the area. Although it was November, the temperature was mild so we could walk around the neighborhood and enjoy playing cards and board games in the evening. I loved the layout of the house and all the extras included. I would highly recommend this property!

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway!
Our family came from different states to celebrate Thanksgiving and we felt completely comfortable and welcome at this home. It was spacious and welcoming and pulling off Thanksgiving dinner was easy with their well-stocked kitchen. We loved the backyard with the firepit, dock and kayacks. The master bath tub provided some much-needed "me" time. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Serenity
Mark was a fabulous host, very accommodating and he met all of our needs. Despite the noise from the landscaping company cutting trees we were able to have a peaceful, restful week. The property has ease of access to stores, wineries, and restuarants. Every person we encountered was also very friendly. I would recommend a visit to this beautiful lake.

Perfect Lake house!
This house and location on the lake is even better than described! The kitchen was well stocked and they even had all the essential pantry items (oils/spices, etc.) …and we were pleasantly surprised to find firewood waiting for us so we could make s’mores by the fire pit. The paddle board was a favorite for our family…such a relaxing little cove to enjoy the peaceful lake. The owner, Mark, was wonderful about communicating…thank you for a fabulous few days at beautiful Lake Gaston! We hope to return again soon!

Exactly what we were looking for!
We spent a week here. What you see is what you get! Started to relax the minute we got there. The house is delightful, the setting is stunning, and the owner is very responsive. We enjoyed swimming, paddling and tubing on the lake on the hot afternoons of our week's stay. The pictures are completely accurate - you are on a quiet cove with a huge dock and swim ladder. Short, easy walk from the house to the dock. House is well stocked. Thank you Mark for a memorable family vacation!
