"Our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation together at On Lake Time! The home had plenty of space for our kids and grandkids, and provided everything we needed for making meals, relaxing and enjoying the lake. We especially enjoyed just hanging out at the dock, swimming, kayaking and boating on the lake. The nearby lakeside restaurants were an added bonus."

Executive Mansion at Lake Gaston sleeps 40 and has HEATED POOL.

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time at the Executive Mansion with our family of 24 people. The house was very spacious and the amenities were great. Having a pool was a definite plus and it got a lot of use. The kitchen had just about everything we could need and made meal prep very easy. We rented the boat and went fishing almost every day. We caught more fish on this trip than any other vacations we have been on, and we didn’t even have to travel that far from the house.We had a few minor issues, but the home owner was very responsive in addressing them. When you spend as much as we did on a vacation property you expect everything to be perfect. However, it’s a rental property, so it’s going to show some signs of wear and tear. Did any of these issues detract from our overall experience? Not really, so I’m not going to dive into the specifics. Would we go back? Our group likes to try different places each time, but if we were to go back to Lake Gaston, the Executive Mansion would definitely be on the list."
