Summers Dream! Great Views - Flat Back Yard - Float Mat -Kayaks -Steps into Lake Join us at Summers Dream for a relaxing vacation at the lake. The first thing you will notice when you drive up is the view of the water. The property includes a wide lakefront yard with an expansive water view from our 150 feet of lake frontage.The lakefront yard includes two large flat grassy areas that provide an easy short walk to the water. There is only one set of 5 steps from the house to the large dock and double boathouse. The yard is perfect to set up a game of croquet, badminton, or corn hole (all provided). It’s a nice area for kids to run around or set up their camping hammocks (bring your own) in the trees which provide some welcome shade in the afternoons. There is also a fire pit area near the water perfect for enjoying s’mores.We provide plenty of water toys for your enjoyment: 2 one person kayaks with paddles, a canoe (May through September), a large 6 x 18 floating island mat (Memorial Day through September), 3 floating lounge chairs, and many life jackets available for your use, all complimentary! It is a great place for kids to swim with 6’ depth at the end of the dock, gradually getting shallower towards the shore. Enjoy easy entry into the lake on large steps off the dock with a handrail. The floating swim island greatly enhances swim fun. Enjoy kayaking and fishing right from the dock or just relax in the comfortable Adirondack chairs.The entire house is newly furnished with only two years on the rental market. Summers Dream has fantastic views of the water from all 7 rooms (except the bunk room). It is the perfect house for 1 to 2 families. It comfortably sleeps 8 to 10.

A lamp with a charging port and a surge protector extension cord are also provided.The open concept living/dining/kitchen, one floor living at Summers Dream is ideal for family vacations. It’s great for families with younger children that wouldn’t have to deal with gating off stairs inside the house. It’s also helpful for older relatives and anyone who doesn’t want to feel like they’ve spent half their vacation running up and down the stairs.Enjoy your meals with views of the water at the main dining table that seats 8. There is an additional 4 person dining table for overflow seating, setting up your laptop, working on a puzzle, or family game night. Relax in front of the large 55” smart TV in one of 5 recliners in the main living area.

Small appliances include a mixer, blender, waffle maker and toaster. Laundry is available in the attached garage, which is also equipped with a ping pong table and a television (to attach your own game system) for your enjoyment. A second refrigerator provides extra space for food storage, bags of ice or cold drinks to take to the dock. The two-level back patio has ample space for cooking on the provided gas grill, and includes a picnic table, and a second table (with chairs) that together provide enough seating for everyone to enjoy outdoor dining while taking in the amazing view.The large dock has plenty of space to enjoy all that Lake Gaston has to offer.

Several marinas are nearby to rent a boat or jet ski, and a large public boat ramp is located within 2 miles.Great Creek has 2 miles to tube, ski, wakeboard, kayak and fish.
