Lake Escape - Updated 2024 - Unobstructed Views at our Family-Friendly Retreat!

Everything was good except we had no hot water and no trash pickup..we would stay again know that we know

The house had large rooms and common areas, which was so nice for our big family. Also, there were a lot of great yard games and the kitchen was well stocked.

Relaxing stay. Well-stocked, open concept house with plenty of room for large groups & great views & direct access to the Lake. Lots of activities including PingPong. A great neighborhood for walking & meeting people & their dogs.Only suggestion we had was a deep clean of the Bathroom & Shower tiles - the nature of waterfront property where moisture/humidity tend to settle easily & stick around.

Had a great time at the house. Loved the open floor plan and spacious living areas with a clear view of the lake. Enjoyed the back yard and made s’mores over the fire pit. Looking forward to going back soon!

Much needed Very well stocked kitchen, everything we needed. Peaceful place. Great fishing.everyone enjoyed themselves.

Overall we had a lovely stay. We loved how calm the neighborhood and cove was - perfect for small kids to play in the water together as we didn't have to worry about passing boats. However this also means the water could feel a bit stale at times. We also loved Lake Gaston as a whole and appreciated the proximity to the Shady Shack (by boat). And Faith is an awesome host. She responds quickly and makes sure that you will have a great stay!Some things that took away from an otherwise perfect stay was the stumps that made it difficult for us to navigate parking the rental boat. Some beds probably need to be updated as they were quite squeaky, and there could be a bit more deep cleaning.The house is spacious and there are lots of places to hang out. We loved the fire pit and the deck! And really appreciated all of the water toys and indoor toys that Faith provides. All in all a great stay!

Wonderful home for our family. Our stay was most excellent. Home was large and the separate kitchen and living spaces worked so well for our large family vacation. The kids stayed downstairs predominantly while the grownups stayed upstairs. It worked out SO WELL! The kitchen upstairs was so well stocked. The frying pans were worn but we've experienced that in every rental we've stayed at, so it was expected. The views are amazing, and the screened porches upstairs were wonderful for conversations and drinks once the sun set. We enjoyed the gigantic lawn with many games. The pier and kayaks were wonderful. We spent every single day on the lake as we really lucked out with the weather and only had 1 day of rain. We loved the geese on the lawn in the mornings. The amazing selection of games in the game closet was such a bonus! We love Lake Gaston and we loved Lake Escape. The convenience of the lake/boathouse and the house is our favorite thing. No packing everything and everyone up to drag to a beach. We ate at 313 Franklin St Friday evening and it was amazing. We cooked all the other nights in the house. Every meal was a success. The small frig on the pier as described in the property details was nowhere to be found but the close proximity of the house made that a non-issue. Curtains in all the rooms would have been nice as some of the bedrooms have no curtains though there are blinds at every window. Lilly pad belongs to us. In all - we REALLY enjoyed our stay. We'll be back!!

Great house for large groups! Lake Escape welcomed our group with open arms! The house was perfect for our 4 family group of 15. The double kitchen was just right for us and they were stocked with everything you need. They had all the utensils you can think of including the tools for the Blackstone grill and also a crockpot if you needed it. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the beach area was delightful for the kids. The kids loved jumping off the backyard dock into the water and the ability to tie off the jet ski there was a plus. The view from the deck was amazing. Faith was a great communicator and answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay. Loved the proximity to poplar pointe, golf, and the beach.
