By the way, if you enjoy hanging out at the dock at night you'll love the mesmerizing underwater fish light which might give you a glimpse of "The Big One" swimming by!  And in case "The Big One" pulls you in you can always shower off in the lakeside outdoor shower!  :)

Come inside; the fully stocked kitchen, complete with a large island bar and stunning water views, is perfect for preparing meals while staying connected with family and friends. Gather around the cozy fireplace in the evenings, surrounded by comfortable and rustic décor that makes you feel right at home. The walk-out basement is a hub of fun with a Smart TV and Legacy Arcade System (for the inevitable rainy days!) and space to unwind. Stay connected with high-speed Starlink internet, ensuring that even while you’re tucked away in this peaceful haven, you have access to the world when needed.  There's also an EV Charger available for the complimentary charge before you head home!

Whether you’re fishing off the dock, paddling along the shoreline, or enjoying the warmth of the firepit under the stars, Lakin' Reel Memories is the perfect retreat for creating lifelong memories. Book your stay today and discover your new favorite lake getaway!

A few more tid-bits...  :)

1.  Trained service animals are welcome!  Otherwise, we have a strict "no pets" policy.  We can help arrange lodging for your pets at a local boarding facility during your stay. Please let us know well in advance, as they fill up fast.

2.  The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system.  This system is a finely balanced biological system.  Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper.  Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.

3.  Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves.  Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boats. Please make sure to bring your bumpers!.

4.  Culverts & Bridges:  Be sure to lower your Bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts on different areas of the lake.  Appearances can be deceiving, and the water levels can flucuate daily!

5.  Life Jackets: While a variety of life jackets are provided, they are not guaranteed in every size. Please bring life jackets specific to individual needs.
