Really enjoyed our trip!

As the first guests at this house, we are excited to leave a 5-star review for "Chillin and Grillin!" It was our first visit to Lake Gaston and it did not disappoint! The house was super clean, kitchen well-equipped, and beds comfortable. There was nothing we needed that we could not find! The house is not too far from the lake, with the fire pit about halfway in-between which we enjoyed to make s'mores. There were 2 paddle boards and 2 kayaks available to us, which was awesome. We rented a boat from the nearby Eaton Ferry Marina, and Food Lion is less than 10 minutes away. There is also a gas station/marina around the corner. The host, Marc, was very responsive and we hope to stay here again. Thank you!
