Thanksgiving getaway

We visited the lodge for a thanksgiving family getaway. The rooms and house are very spacious. Vrbo’s description of the house was very accurate. The owners of the home are very nice, welcoming, and are timely in responding. One negative I would give is the housekeeping of the house. It needed more of a “detailed” cleaning. This property could also be more handicapped friendly as far as entering the house. Overall, it was a great stay and would recommend to others.

Great Family Reunion

We had such a great time!! Lots of space for everyone. Even space to close the door so the "littles" could not hear the adults play games, loudly!! The dock was perfect for kayaks, paddle boards and a fishing boat. The water was deep so no feeling the bottom of the lake. Lots of parking for everyone coming and going. The grill was perfect for burgers, chicken and anything we threw on it!! We can't wait to go back! What a great week!!

Very Relaxing

We all really enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing, the host was great, and the kitchen was fully stocked with cups, plates, and other needed dinnerware. The only drawbacks were that there was 1 television in the whole home and that there wasn’t a new dish sponge to use. Otherwise, it was great and we plan on coming back!

Work retreat

My company held an event at Lake Gaston and several of my coworkers rented this house for a couple of days to attend the event. It is a beautiful home with an amazing view. What a great place to relax and hang out with friends. We did not want to leave. This would be a perfect house for a family vacation to the lake. Plenty of space, beautifully decorated, and conveniently located to the grocery store and local restaurants.

Perfect for 5 couples

The owner was easy to work with and communicated clearly. There is so much room in this home (and outdoors) to spread out. We needed 5 bedrooms with either queen or king size beds for our 5 couples, so this was a good fit. It seemed like each room was well-insulated. We didn’t hear any noise from any other part of the home while sleeping. The rockers on the back porch were favorites of all of us!

Needs work but great location

The property was in a great location and the deep water dock was great. The layout of the house was good for our 16 people but the house needs a lot of work and it was not up to par for cleanliness. Needs carpets cleaned and pests controlled. The deck and below the deck needs power washing. The condition of the deck was dangerous with nails sticking up and splinters. Had to go buy wash cloths and towels. If you advertise sleeping 16, then you need to supply for 16 people.

Nice Property on Lake Gaston

8 members of my bass fishing club stayed at Blue Heron Lodge for a weekend tournament on Lake Gaston. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and property owner/manager John Gray was easy to work with. The long driveway worked well for four truck/boat trailer combos. The dock also worked well for two of our boats. We launched an recovered the other two each day. Some bushes could use trimming and the front porch and dock steps could use a coat of paint, but otherwise everything was to our liking.
