About this property

Lakefront getaway with dock!

  • Welcome to Serenity at Lake Gaston — a peaceful lakefront retreat tucked in a quiet cove on Jimmies Creek. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers just over 2,000 sq ft of comfort, perfect for families and friends.

    Enjoy easy access to the water from your private dock and a gentle slope to the lake. Spend the day paddling with our kayaks and paddleboards, or rent jet skis for a little extra excitement. Evenings are for gathering around the fire pit, roasting s’mores, and watching the stars.

    Inside, you’ll find a game-filled garage with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball, plus high-speed Wi-Fi and streaming TVs. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the deck is the perfect spot to dine outdoors while taking in stunning sunset views.
    Serenity at Lake Gaston is your place to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories—whether you’re on the water, by the fire, or simply soaking up the peaceful lake life.

This was the perfect getaway! The peaceful location was great for us to unwind and unplug for Spring Break. Our family appreciated the amenities like the kayaks (and life vests!), paddle boards, camping chairs, and fire pit. The smores supplies were an added bonus that we enjoyed at sunset. The house was clean and spacious and decorated nicely. It has everything you need - pots and pans, baking sheets, plenty of cups and plates and cooking utensils. This property felt like home and we would not hesitate to stay here again. We are a family of 6 and the bedrooms were perfectly situated to accommodate our kids from ages 6 to 15. Get ready for family game nights, sunsets on the lake, and a relaxing stay!

Nice place for two small families

Large bedrooms with king beds, nice walk in shower in the main en suite bath.Plenty of room for two families of 4. The kitchen is well appointed and perhaps a little small, but pretty workable for a short term rental. We did not swim, but the dock offers afternoon shade and a nice place to enjoy the lake view.

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!

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.

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.

Relaxing time at the lake.

We had a wonderful long weekend at lake Gaston and found the house very comfortable. We found the bed in the main master to be very soft so slept in the 2nd room with a king bed that was firm. Every thing was very comfy and enjoyable. The lake has easy access down a gentle gravel path to the dock and steps to ease into the lake ahhhhh. Very comfy home and quite comfy. We are not big cooks so found the supplies to be just fine. We would joyfully return!! Just lovely.

The Lineman crew enjoyed their stay at this location. Wonderful views, a good number of bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room were perfect. Location was great. Leigh was simply amazing and let us add one more night for them to stay due to the job. Leigh was very helpful and easy check in process.

The home is very comfortable and the host well very pleasant. The little touches and decorating for the holiday was very nice and thoughtful for our vacation away from home for the holidays.
Watched this Great Blue Heron every morning " nick name Terry the pterodactyl" we loved identifying all the birds we seen.
This is exactly what was needed for this break and you captured it all in your home and space.
Coffee in the morning watching the sunrise and set has been the highlight of my trip.
