You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake Life is the BEST Life! Formally "Livin The Dream"

It's a new name, but it's the same great property! This property was formerly called "Livin The Dream" Lake Gaston.
The home features two living spaces, an open-concept kitchen/dining area, decks/balconies overlooking the sandy beach and main lake waters, a bedroom with a king-size bed and full bath on the main level, two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the second floor, and a walkout terrace level with a full bath and laundry.
Guests can use our three kayaks and two paddle boards for no additional cost.
The basement is also full of fun! There are lots of games, including trivia, foosball, Golden Tee, ping-pong, a poker table, and corn hole.
Several floats, some sand toys for kids, two beach chairs, three folding outdoor chairs, and fishing poles are also included for use.
We are steps away from the pickleball/tennis and basketball court. All the equipment needed to play is included in your stay.
Nights sitting by a fire out on the back porch watching the sunset are the best!

The location is central to shopping/dining/golfing/watersports.
Summers on the lake are fun; however, this home offers fun year-round!

We are a dog-friendly home!

***My husband and I took over this property in November, so you won't see many reviews right now because we have only had a few stays since we took over.
This was a premier property prior, and the only changes we have made were to add a few new items for guest to enjoy.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with an oven and a stovetop. There's a private balcony. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a pickleball court or make use of other amenities including charcoal grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

My new favorite spot
From the time we booked through the time we checked out, we had an amazing experience. Maria was super responsive and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The home was spacious, clean, and well-stocked. It was so nice to have the basic supplies there when we arrived (paper products, soap, trash bags, even coffee k-cups). The views from the two decks and patio are gorgeous - especially the sunset over the water. Even though it was January and chilly outside we were able to sit outside and enjoy the patio using the gas fire pit. The bedrooms are spacious and we appreciate that each has a private bathroom. The common space is well furnished with plenty of room. They thought of everything....games, books, a poker table, a dry bar, an extra full-size refrigerator, foosball, ping pong table, cornhole, paddle boards, etc.We enjoyed taking walks along the waterfront and trails within the community. The grocery store and restaurants are close by. We had lunch on the water at Waters View Restaurant and a fabulous dinner at Blue Jay Bistro. If you are considering booking - do it! You will not regret it. We look forwarding to booking again.

We are a return customer. We have stayed here before so we knew from the start that this place works well for us. Good location with lake views and spacious enough with the downstairs area to accommodate the guys watching Football while the kids are watching their shows upstairs.Highly recommend this unit for others.
