Get ready to fall in love with one of the best kept secrets on Lake Gaston. We guarantee the first words out of your mouth will be, "Wow, I see why this is called "The Greatest Cove, Man!!" Nestled on a sprawling, flat lot, this hidden gem is a true waterfront playground, offering endless fun and panoramic views. Every bedroom offers its own private balcony with a water view, creating a peaceful retreat for each guest. The home is nestled in a cove with direct main lake views, combining tranquil surroundings with breathtaking open water scenery."
Life revolves around the lake — and it's easy to see why. Enjoy your private dock (with a party deck on top perfect for sunbathing or stargazing) or grab a kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or the 4-person pedal boat and set off to explore the quiet beauty of the cove — where you can glide across glassy waters, spot local wildlife, and soak in the peaceful rhythm of nature. Anglers will love casting a line right off the dock, with Lake Gaston's plentiful fish just waiting for the next great catch. With 8–10 feet of water depth, it’s a swimmer’s paradise, and there's plenty of room for boats, floats, and fun.
Back on land, the adventures continue. Toss a few rounds at the horseshoe pit, or relax in the tree swing under the Carolina blue sky. Prefer to keep it low-key? Stretch out on the deck or settle into the hammock with a good book in hand, letting the breeze and the sound of the water set the perfect backdrop for pure relaxation.
Inside, the home is freshly remodeled with a bright, cheerful vibe that feels just as welcoming as the outdoors. Big windows flood the space with light and keep the lake views front and center — so even on a rainy day, you’re never far from the action.
Speaking of rainy days, they’re no problem here! The game room has you covered with foosball, air hockey, and even an extra fridge and freezer to keep the snacks and drinks coming.
"The Greatest Cove, Man!" offers the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and comfort. Whether you’re swinging from a tree, paddling out at sunset, or challenging the family to a foosball or air hockey tournament when the rain taps on the windows, every moment here becomes a memory you'll treasure.
Come experience it for yourself — and you’ll be saying, "Wow! This is The Greatest Cove, Man!" before you even unpack.

A few more tid-bits... :)
1. No Pets: Trained service animals are welcome! Otherwise, we have a strict "no pets" policy. We can help arrange lodging for your pets (as long as they are up to date on shot records which must be provided) at a local boarding facility during your stay, if you'd like; just give us a call...way in advance, as they fill up fast!
2. Septic System:The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system. This system is a finely balanced biological system. Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper. Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.
3. Navigating Lake Gaston: Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves. Pontoons should have no issues. Guests can park on the pontoon lift if they have a pontoon boat, use the covered open slip, or tie up to the side of the dock.
4. Culverts & Bridges: Be sure to lower your Bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts. Appearances can be deceiving!
5. Security Cameras: The following locations are monitored:
Front door ring camera
Rear left porch facing boathouse
Right rear porch facing cove entry
Garage security camera & floodlight over driveway
Left side security camera & floodlight
