About this house rental
Welcome to The Good Life – Lakefront Living at Its Best
Escape to "The Good Life," a spacious and family-friendly lakefront retreat in Pea Hill Creek on beautiful Lake Gaston. With a private beach, protected swimming area, dock, kayaks, paddle boards, game room, and pet-friendly accommodations, this home is designed for unforgettable lake vacations, family gatherings, and relaxing getaways.
Nestled on a level lakefront lot with mature shade trees, the property offers stunning views, plenty of outdoor space, and direct access to the calm waters of Pea Hill Creek — one of the most desirable areas of the lake.
Whether you're looking to relax by the water, explore the lake by kayak, enjoy family game nights, or gather around the fire pit under the stars, The Good Life offers everything you need for the perfect Lake Gaston vacation.
The OUTDOOR SPACE is where this property truly shines.
Enjoy peaceful lake views from the dock Adirondack chairs, relax in the shaded hammock, or swing on the double swings overlooking the private beach.
The protected cove location makes this one of the best swimming spots on the lake. The water is shallow near the shoreline for younger children and gradually deepens toward the dock.
Guests also enjoy complimentary access to:
6 kayaks (5 single, 1 double)
2 paddle boards
1 pedal boat
Private boat dock (perfect if you rent or bring a boat)
You can paddle to nearby Halley Rock island, explore quiet coves, or head to the main lake just minutes away by boat.
Fishing enthusiasts will love Pea Hill Creek, known for excellent bass and freshwater fishing.

We had a wonderful stay at the Good Life! The property was beautiful and relaxing. The lake was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the Lake. The hosts, Holly and Chad, were delightful and were helpful in every way.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. It was a total of 10 of us, 2 families with an extra teenagers). We had plenty of space and things to do!! The backyard is flat and nicely kept. We did some dock fishing and caught a 4 lb catfish one night!! We had a boat and had plenty of room to park and still be able to play in the lake and use the kayaks!! The SUP boards were a big hit as well as the noodles and other floats that were available. Nice little quiet area in the cove. The owners were amazing providing updates when we lost the power. Highly recommend!! Already planning another trip!
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
The property was nice. Unfortunately we were there in a serious heat wave so it was hard to enjoy any outside activities. The lake was so warm it was not pleasant. Equipment at this house was as listed & more. We had a party of 13 (9 adults & 4 kids). Loved the large table that sat us all at meals. Lots of shade. Property was experiencing power outages wich affected the 2 icemakers which did not work. We also lost power for a few hours. (No fault of the house or the host.) You have to put on your own sheets that are provided. Didn't like that after a long drive but then at least your sure they're clean. Holly & Chad answered our texts very quickly. They are not local but have neighbor as a property manager who was nice. Lots of supplies where there, plenty of towels & soaps & cleaning & food storage, seasonings. Large frig to handle our large group. Kitchen had plenty of counter space with the island. Plenty of dishes, glasses & silverware. Of course as with all rentals games were missing pieces, couldn't find the blender lid & only one beater but later we found the other ( after we made the mashed potatoes) the house is nicely decorated & very pleasant to be in. Air conditioning worked great. Hot water handled all if us. Its a very nice house to visit. Didn't find much to do in the area. Littleton is moslly closed & the few shops they have Didn't open till Thursday. Wasted trip. Has many nearby marinas. Well maintained dock for boats & swimming.
