Vacation rentals with a kayak in Gaston County

This lake house was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true escape. The house had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway—cozy, clean, and so thoughtfully stocked. But what really stole our hearts was the view. Watching the sun set over the water each evening, wrapped in a blanket with nothing but the sound of the lake and laughter in the background, was pure magic. We made beautiful memories here and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. Highly recommended, we will be back! We also used Lake Effects for our boat rental, they were fantastic! It’s about an 18 minute trip back to the house on the water.

Kevin was awesome and treated us great! Great spot and would come back!!!

We had 6 adults staying in this home and it was perfect! The view was awesome! Loved how the home was situated in a cove at Lake Norman. It was very private which made kayaking enjoyable. The boat ramp was only 3 minutes from the home which made it convenient for docking our boat there! We enjoyed the fire pit which overlooked the lake. We will definitely stay here again!

Lucy and her co-host were prompt to respond. I had a lack of clarity on my part as where to park and access (follow the signs) and she responded within moments. The path to the entrance is private and lighted. The view is beautiful and very private. No complaints on the interior. All was good!

Outstanding place right outside of Charlotte. Best hosts I’ve ever had. Perfect spot or a small family getaway or a couple buddies on a fishing/golf trip.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was cozy and extremely well maintained and clean. The view of the lake was amazing and the area was quiet and peaceful. This was our first trip to the area and Kate was very responsive to my messages. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved it! The house was very nice, clean and all the furniture (including the beds) were comfortable and cozy. The lake views were beautiful and there was plenty of things to do. We made amazing memories with our family!

Great location! Very responsive host! Game room and master bedroom upstairs was a huge hit!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. My Mom was shocked to see my family from up North, she cried. Perfect Christmas gift, It was a lot of fun. The place was spacious and very clean. Eric was very responsive and very nice. Thank you for letting us make memories together in your home.

Great host and home! Great location for a lake stay. Paddle boards and kayaks included made it even better! Peaceful area and definitely recommend staying here

This is hands down, the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The amenities were amazing, it was exactly as described, and is a beautiful home. We can’t wait to go back!

Tim’s wife - “This place was SO CUTE. Even better than the photos, and the dock was everything. As soon as I walked in I started planning our next trip to this same house because it was so perfect for us. So cozy and beautifully decorated. We look forward to staying here again in the future!!”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Zachary’s place and highly recommend it for a perfect lake getaway. Zachary and his family are great hosts.

Amazing location! Beautiful home and views. Very relaxing too. Our first time in SC. Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. Located only a few minutes from anything we needed or wanted to do. Our 2 teenage girls really liked the loft room with their own couch and TV. I’m glad we found Ebenezer park just a half a mile away for our little ones to play on a playground. I had asked about a crock pot being there and Jessica made sure there was. I’m a big coffee drinker so the different options and complimentary k-cups were wonderful! We had 1 issue with one of the TVs and Daniel was very quick to respond and help us get it resolved. We would love to book again if we ever make it back down to Rock Hill!

Cute little tiny homes and community. We look forward to returning.

Great stay!! Peaceful and quiet for family time. Lots of nooks for reading and quiet time plus spacious rooms to gather. We loved sitting on the dock. Very pet friendly. Generous incidentals that made the stay convenient.

We had an excellent stay at Danielle's place. The views of the lake were remarkable and very peaceful. Felt right at home and would definitely want to come back again!

Alicia & John were lovely hosts. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking meals. There were extra towels & washcloths for our family of five. Lots of great info in their guest binder. Covered pier was an amazing place to spend mornings & evenings. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

We have not used AirBnB many times, but this one stands out as the best experience yet! What a lovely, clean, tidy, quaint, attractive, simple, elegant, and comfortable lakeside property this is. We enjoyed cooking meals, grilling, soaking in the hot tub, sunset cocktails on the dock. Planning to return in the future for another stay!

We had a great weekend away relaxing at the lake! Lynne’s place was the perfect spot for our group of girls and she was very responsive when we had a few questions. She had great accommodations inside (towels, linens, kitchen items, shower items, etc.). We greatly enjoyed our stay and would choose to stay with Lynne again!

Really great place. We’d love to stay here again. It was in a perfect cove for our littles to explore the water and we all felt like they were safe. The tv in the living room didn’t work, but they did come try to fix it and were extremely kind and responsive. We really didn’t use it anyway, other than at night. My kids loved the fishing gear, paddle boards, canoes, and fire pit for roasting marshmallows. We had a blast. I would have loved some local eating recommendations, but really, the house was clean and amenities perfect, so we didn’t want to leave very much. Can’t wait to go back!

This is an incredible little getaway place. It is certainly a hidden gem. I feel the photos do not do it justice. You have to experience it yourself. Everything was extremely convenient. Plenty of parking with a circular driveway. Plenty of room for a boat trailer. The dock is absolutely fantastic. I cannot say enough about the host. They truly went above and beyond for everything. We had a fantastic day would highly recommend and would love to come back someday soon. Do not hesitate to book this one.

Easy check in, great location, would stay again.

We loved our stay on the lake. I loved the area. It was a great place to take walks and enjoy the outdoors. Our boys really enjoyed the kayaks. The house was really close to so many places and activities in the Charlotte area.
