Main Lake Luxury and spectacular panoramic views! Sleeps 8!

Approximately 2200 square feet in this waterfront spacious and private suite - first level of a large house, located in the beautiful Lake Gaston gated community of Harbor Landing where the views are million dollars and the homes are spectacular! Although guests have access to everything listed/pictured in this listing, that does not include the locked portion (upper level) that the owners never rent out upstairs. Upper level is NEVER occupied when this home is rented. Guests will have complete privacy and exclusive access to the property and boat house deck area (not lifts). If you are looking for MAIN LAKE private access with gorgeous sunset views, this house is it! The large primary bedroom features a four poster - king bed as well as a sitting area, desk/vanity, ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. The secondary bedrooms feature queen beds. Both front bedrooms feature remarkable lake front views. The third and fourth rooms have lake views as well but are not lake front rooms. The fourth room doubles as the theater room and has a Smart 85-inch wall-mounted flat-screen TV, a queen sleeper sofa and additional seating. The well-appointed kitchen is bright, open and airy. The living area features leather seating, a flat-screen TV and a full wall of windows that overlook Lake Gaston. In fact, sitting inside the home or out on the terrace, you feel like you are actually at the water's edge! Full size washer and dryer are included as is a portable crib, a Graco pack n' play and two highchairs. Down at the lake, a boat house with docking areas for your boat and/or PWC(s) features a sunning area as well as shaded spots. The kayak is there for your use, but you must provide your own life jackets in compliance with NC boating regulations and your safety. The depth of the water off of the boathouse is about 16 feet deep! A real treasure, that you can easily fit into the tales of your family memories!

About half a mile from the home, there is a neighborhood launch for ease of getting your boat and/or PWC to the boathouse.

We’ve stayed at this property multiple times, and it’s always a great time. Unbeatable location on the main lake with the most incredible sunsets. Will definitely stay again!

We took our grands. They are tweens. Had a relaxing stay. Watched movies, sunsets, grilled, and built fires in the fire pit. Had s’mores by the fire after dinner. It was a clear night and magical.

Comfortable and spacious accommodations. Right on the lake. Literally only a few steps down which is an incredible treat. South side of the lake which allows for longer daylight time. Incredible experience!

We've stayed here a few times...it's amazing! They have done some updates and upgrades. The new rooftop deck on the the boat dock is perfect for evenings. The kids loved jumping off it as well. It's beautiful inside and out with great views of the lake and sunsets. We love staying here during the summer!

What an amazing property to stay at with equally amazing views! Marianne was wonderful to work with and everything from the cleanliness to the location was top notch! Highly recommend - the space of the downstairs is so nice that you don't even realize you have only the bottom of a house.

Beautiful home with an amazing porch and dock. Large, well-stocked kitchen was perfect for cooking in. Comfortable bedrooms and plenty of lounging space. Definitely off the grid - so be sure to bring anything you may need. Suggest bringing along some beach chairs for the dock if you want to spend time down there. We had a great weekend and would definitely go back!

We arrived at the residence to find we were staying in the basement apartment not the entire home. Though it was done very nicely, that fact was never mentioned in the ad. The kitchen was well equipped and had some things left from other peoples stays, in both the cupboards and fridge. The exterior of the basement entrance was covered in spider webs with I wasn't thrilled with. The sheets in the master were the roughest sheers I have ever slept on. I ended up sleeping on top of the comforter. The lake itself was delightful. We were surrounded by other cottages that provided inflatable floating trampolines and such so it was a bummer not having any "toys" for our rental. The price was good and my family had a wonderful time. The house was clean and had plenty of TV's. P.S. We found a joint in a drawer when looking for pen and paper. Better do a better job cleaning out the place between renters!

4/10

While the view was gorgeous, we were misled as to what we were renting. 1- It was advertised that we were renting the Heron HOUSE. My guests and I were stunned to arrive to find out we were actually renting the BASEMENT of the house only. That is an absolute misrepresentation and it should have been described that way. Why would we spend over $1800 to be relegated to a basement when we could have easily rented an entire house for less? To add insult to injury, we had to access the property through the back door. Way too many reasons why that is not only inconvenient but insensitive. 2 - We purposely researched properties that included some kind of lake equipment to minimize costs. This house advertised a tandem kayak for our use. We arrived only to find that there wasn't one. I emailed the owner who suddenly remembered that it had been stolen. Again, false advertisement! She knew that it wasn't available. While the owner did credit us $75 for the omission, that was a mere fraction of the cost that we then had to expend to rent something to enjoy the lake. 3- While the "basement" was relatively clean, (we did find a nail clipper wedged between the coach and clippings on the floor) the outside of the property is BADLY in need of maintenance. The outdoor chairs were worn and absolutely filthy, some we didn't even want to sit on. In order to enjoy the view, we had to sit out there with literally hundreds of spider nests wedged in the bottom of the deck above us just waiting to hatch. There were cobwebs EVERYWHERE! We had to buy bug spray to spray the area just to sit there. The deck (which is all we had access to) and the entire house are badly in need of a power wash. Lastly, while I can't prove this is the fault of the owner, my guests and I came home with bites all over us that closely resemble bed bugs. All in all, I will not rent this property again. In the future, I will know to make sure to confirm that I am renting an actual house as advertised. The lake is beautiful and there are many gorgeous HOUSES to rent. It's crazy to be relegated to a basement for that price.

I was unaware when booking that you just get access to the downstairs and the upstairs of the house is locked and closed off. The downstairs area is very nice and does offer plenty of space, was just unaware of the circumstance. The view is wonderful!! We did come with multiple small children and the yard area is not very kid friendly. Very steep and multiple stairs and rocky. We throughly enjoyed the dock and swimming. The closest grocery store is over 30 minutes away so just not super convenient if needing to run out really quick. Very nice of the house to have kid items including pack and play and high chair.

Our stay at the Heron House was great. The house was very large, clean and plenty of room out on the deck and dock. Would definitely come back next year if its available. Only recommendation I would have is for the owner to provide more pots and larger skillets for cooking. There was really only one small skillet and was hard to cook breakfast and dinners with one skillet. Overall, its a great place with an unreal view.

Everything was exceptional - from communications with the owner, cleaning services, and property itself. Instructions for check-in and check-out were very thorough and clear. Great location on Lake Gaston as a launch point for water recreation, including fishing. I highly recommend this property.
