Waterfront Log Cabin On Lake Gaston

Relax at this cozy waterfront log cabin with awesome views of Great Creek on Lake Gaston! This lake house has 200 feet of shoreline with a spectacular sunrise view of the lake. Kids can enjoy swimming with minimal boat traffic at your dock with over 8 feet of water. Great Creek contains 1.5 miles of an awesome cove to ski, wakeboard, and fish. You also have a covered dock with guest boat slip/lift. Your boat will be protected from rain and wake chop.

This lake house contains comfortable living spaces and furnishings. It has spectacular views of Great Creek from the large lakeside deck and HUGE sundeck at the dock. There is deep water at the dock and just a few stairs that lead from the house. The home is a beautiful log cabin with full walk-out basement and garage. The 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are on the main level along with a relaxing living area with floor to ceiling windows looking out to the lake. The kitchen and second living area are on the lower level with additional lake views. The upper level has a wraparound deck and the lower level has a patio with rockers, table and chairs, gas grill, swings, and a fire pit! Total square footage is 2,850. High Speed Fiber Internet and Hulu Live/Disney+ streaming services are included.

There is a short stairway from the house to the covered double boathouse with one slip/lift for renter, HUGE sundeck, and other lake floats, chairs, and life vests for renter enjoyment.

This log cabin is located on Great Creek in the northwest quadrant of Lake Gaston. The home is a 10 minute drive from I-85. Great winery and golf only a few miles away.

The creek is protected from the main lake by a no wake zone and box culvert. That keeps the everyday boat traffic to a minimum. With 1.5 mile run, it makes a perfect spot for slalom skiing and wakeboarding.

There is excellent fishing right from the dock at the home. Crappie, bream, largemouth bass, and catfish are easy to catch from the dock. This property also has a Special Guest Fishing Permit that allows guests to fish from the dock, pier, or shoreline without needing an individual fishing license! The main lake offers a variety of good fishing spots as well.

Beautiful home
Gorgeous home, beautiful views, very peaceful location. Owner was very friendly and quick to correspond with me every time I messaged him. Highly recommend, but only if you’re looking for tranquility, relaxation, sunshine and lake time 😉.

Peaceful and Relaxing
A much needed getaway! Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Communication with the host was great. This house offers everything you need or want to have the perfect getaway. The view of the water in the morning on the deck with a cup of coffee was one of my favorites. I would recommend and hope to stay there again.

About the host

Host profile image
I currently live in Charlotte, NC now, but grew up in nearby South Hill, VA. I spent a lot of time on Lake Gaston growing up and always wanted to own a place there. I enjoy getting back to the lake with family and friends whenever my schedule allows!

Why they chose this property

This property is very convenient to I-85 and stores in Bracey. I have family and friends that live in nearby South Hill, so it is very convenient for them to visit. I've always loved the Great Creek/Holly Grove area for its deep and relatively calm water which is great for skiing and wakeboarding. The lake is usually smooth as glass in the mornings and evenings!
