PERFECT VACATION DESTINATION
California Dreamin was a perfect blend of fun and sun. The house was beautiful and clean. The decor was very fun and invited fun moods, games, and gatherings. My family loved the house, all 6200sqft.
Sondra was welcoming and accommodating, we had a couple small issues at first but Sondra was on top if it and eager to make certain her guest were happy and comfortable.
The boat dock was great, the water deep enough to jump of and swim in water that just seemed to be a perfect temperature. We rented the pontoon and kayaks and everything was great, if you enjoy coffee at 0730 on the porch or dock, then a 30-45 minute kayak trip by 0830, this is the spot for you. The cove was quiet enough for family but fun enough for a party. The main lake body is 150 200 yards away, just far enough away from high speed traffic but close enough to get to quickly and start the boating fun.
My family totalled 13 at one point with AMPLE ROOM.
Sondra and her California Dream house was perfect.
With any luck we are going back next year.
See you in 2018
Great house in a nice location!
Had a beautiful couple days on Lake Gaston at this large house on the water. Sondra was a pleasure to work with, and everyone loved the decorations in the house. Plenty of kitchen space as well!
Family Reunion
The house is Huge and sits nicely on the lake with a great view. Lots of space from Kitchen to living room to Bedroom. 19 of us stayed (9 Adults and 10 kids). We had a great time being together. It was private and quite. The house was clean and they had two kayak we used. However, the reason for my 2 star is because I think the beds (esp. the ones in the twin and bunk beds) need a good cleaning or replaced. All of the kids had bug bites. One of the Jacuzzi was not working and we were not offered a discount. Finally, $95.00 was taken off our deposit for booking fees (this was not disclosed to us prior to booking).
Great House
Very spacious and clean home with three separate floors to divide up the group or congregate together. Everything you could possibly need and some small issues we had were resolved with a quick telephone call.
Outstanding property!
Over the past 2 years we have stayed at 4 houses at Lake Gaston. All were good. This one was the best! It had a very nice view of the lake and was just tucked away off the main lake enough to not be too busy with boats. The nice thing about this location was that the house is close to the lake without hundreds of steps down to the boat dock like some of the other houses. I liked having the sandy beach area for my dog while the depth off the end of the dock was deep enough for the kids to jump off the top dock. The house was great! 2 full kitchens and an efficiency kitchen on the top floor that we didnt even use. 2 queen bedrooms and a bath on the bottom floor. One king bedroom and bath on the main floor. A king room, a queen room and a room with 8 singles on the top floor.We found the kids really enjoyed the ping pong on the top floor. Sondra was great to work with. Really recoment this property
Paradise Getaway
We had a great time in this house. There were 16 ladies and it was very comfortable arrangements. Lots of room to spread out and enjoy the gorgeous view of the lake and very tastefully decorated inside. Included everything we needed. Sondra was great to check on us and make sure everything was going well. Would highly recommend it.
Map
