Discover your new lakeside getaway at this charming cottage home on Lake Gaston.

Perfect for multiple families or groups, the layout showcases two bedrooms and a full bath on each wing of the house. Upon arrival, a gravel driveway and convenient carport await. Both a front porch and a back deck equipped with a fire table and seating provide places to unwind. A screened-in back porch offers lounge chairs and outdoor dining opportunities. Grilling enthusiasts will appreciate the option of two Weber grills, one propane and the other charcoal-fired, catering to your culinary preferences.
For nature lovers, the property showcases views of the lake, mature trees, and an open grassy expanse, complete with a firepit for evening get-togethers. Enjoy the private dock and a two-slip boathouse, granting direct access to the lake. The waterfront is ideal for leisurely swims or explorations on stand-up paddleboards, a canoe, and kayaks. To the east, follow the southern shore to uncover the splendor of Smith's Creek or head straight across to explore the islands, with the old Roanoke River bed on the other side. No matter which direction you head you'll find a haven teeming with fish and inhabited by eagles, osprey, ducks, herons, and turtles.
Bring your own boat or rent one nearby to fully immerse yourself in the lake experience. For anglers and boating enthusiasts, a neighborhood boat ramp is available just a quarter-mile down Hinton Mill Road. If you’re looking to rent, a 20-minute drive will take you to Holly Grove Marina, and from there, a picturesque 6-mile boat ride will lead you back to the Sunrise Cottage boathouse. Please keep in mind this is a shallower section of the lake and the docking area may not be appropriate for boats with deep drafts like ski boats or center console offshore fishing boats. Please message us if you plan on bringing your own boat so we can help you plan to have the best trip possible.
On rainy days or during late-night hours, take advantage of the collection of puzzles, games, and books. Plush, oversized sofas provide comfort for the entire family. Enjoy access to high-speed fiber internet and a Roku-equipped TV in the living room, along with an Xbox and a selection of games and many DVDs.
With four bedrooms accommodating a maximum of 8 guests, the base rate covers 2 guests, with an additional nightly rate for up to 8 guests. The residence is smoke-free and embraces a peaceful neighborhood, so kindly refrain from house parties. While the yard isn't fenced, you're welcome to walk your dog along the road.
