Executive Mansion at Lake Gaston sleeps 40 and has HEATED POOL.

The house was absolutely gorgeous! The views: from sun up to sun down breathtaking! Peaceful retreat! Loved the hot tub, so nice on a cold winter evening!

Working with the host was great. He worked with us prior to arriving and always responded very quickly. The property was absolutely beautiful and the pictures did not do it justice. The only disappointing aspects was the pool was broken upon arrival and there was no bedding/blankets for the pull out couches available.

This is our third year at the executive mansion and we absolutely love it. Tony and his team are the absolute best. Two boats, heated pool, watched college football in the in-home theatre. A dream weekend!

Overall, the house was a great space for what we needed, but there were some things lacking and some issues I wouldn't expect at a property of this caliber. What was good: -Lots of space! -Different living areas and multiple laundry rooms. -Was great for my parents to be able to rent the boat from the property manager so it was already there waiting for us. -Pretty, quiet, private location. -Pool was wonderful and the kids especially loved it. -Great to have a refrigerator by the pool. What was lacking: -Biggest issue for me: my brother brought his dogs by for 15-20 min to say hello to their "grandparents" before he dropped them at the kennel. The dogs were outside only. After this, I received a message from the property manager saying he wasn't aware we had pets and charging me $500. I am a rule follower so I understand them wanting to get the fee that they say they will charge if pets are there - I did explain the situation and the charge was rescinded. However, my big issue with this is that with the dogs literally there for 15-20 min being noticed, I felt like we were being watched, which is not a fun feeling when staying at a vacation rental. -Mouse feces in some of the kitchen drawers had me questioning overall cleanliness of kitchen items. -Kitchen supplies were lacking. For a house that sleeps 40+ people, better supplies would be nice. We had to go out and buy a second cutting board to be able to cook dinners for a large group, the two can openers there did not work, for example. -Main level kitchen is missing a shelf on top of the drawer. This was really inconvenient as it meant that we had to pile stuff up on top of the items in the drawer and could not open the drawer to retrieve items. Lower level kitchen didn't have shelves on the door. -No filtered water except for very top floor refrigerator. -Listing said there were treadmills, which a couple people were wanting to use. No treadmills or any exercise equipment there. -Main level master bedroom was warmer than the rest of the main level making it uncomfortable to sleep in. -Outdoor pool area lighting - found a remote that supposedly turned on the lights around the pool on the last day. Couldn't figure it out before then. -There is a small, old dock on the property that is unsafe. Nephew fell through injuring his ankle when retrieving his kayaking gear. This should be closed off or removed. Overall, house of this caliber needs improving.
