Amazing stay!

The property and hosts are amazing! As with any stay, there were some hiccups and the hosts were incredibly prompt to respond. Labels on every cabinet/drawer in the kitchen, clear instructions on how to use house amenities and TONS of games and entertainment! Thank you hosts 👍

Great House, Not So Great Location

If you’re looking for remote, this is the place for you. The house is beautiful, but there is nothing nearby for at least 25 minutes. Also, be ready to lug all your own garbage to a dump, because that’s what part of your stay requires.

Firefly Bay

Our group had an excellent time at Firefly Bay! The house is just as pretty in person as it is in the images, if not prettier. The views are absolutely amazing. The house was extremely well equipped and the owners have thought of everything to make the stay wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed everything this fabulous home has to offer, including the 2 tiered dock, hot tub, nights by the fire pit, and fun game room area. 5 PLUS Star Home!!

5 Stars for Sure

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Firefly Bay on Lake Gatson. The house had everything you can imagine and more. Every room has a beautiful lakeview and perfect sleeping arrangements for multiple families. We were able to enjoy the pontoon boat, tubing, kayaks, and endless hours in the gameroom. Our kids enjoyed fishing at sunrise and making s'mores at sunset. We would highly recommend this house, there is something for everyone. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Fantastic Week

Travel to Lake Gaston with my entire family (16 of us total with an age range from 4 years old to 84) and we had an amazing time. The house was beautiful, the dock (swimming and fishing) was incredible, the pontoon boat a blast, the view amazing with plenty of space to relax, have meals together, enjoy family time, play games and just unwind. Adam was a fantastic host who provided fantastic information about the home, the area, our stay and offered great help along the way. It was a hall of fame vacation and one our family will never forget.

Amazing property on the quieter end of the lake

This house has it all, pool table, hot tub, game room, table tennis, bar, large tvs in the bedrooms, kids bunk room. It has a mack daddy boat house complete with jumping platform, and 3 boat lifts. All the neccessary lifejackets and water toys you can think of- the splash pad was a crowd favorite- kayaks paddlepoards etc!We stayed a week with two families and a grandpa (11 total) and we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the time. There was an endless supply of things to do at the lake house, which is important because Lake Gaston is in a very rural setting. The house was stocked with pretty much anything you can think of, and the boat was big enough to accomodate our entire party if need be, though we never had all 11 on at one time. We were worried about seeing fireworks on the 4th, so we set out on the boat, but right across the lake, one of the houses put on what seemed to be a professional quality fireworks show that lasted over 30 minutes! It was a vacation to be remembered for all the kids, and they all consider themselves professional lake tubers now.Adam was a wonderful host and made some accomodations for us that he didn't have to. We were super grateful to be in such good hands at such a beautuful property. I spent a lot of time going back and forth between different properties before pulling the trigger on this one. It was the most expensive by a bit, but the best by far! I can't think of a single negative about the property

Fantastic Lake House!

Beautiful home located on a peaceful lake. We take a family vacation with 3 generations every year. This was one of the best! All ages had an awesome time with so many activities in the house and on the lake to keep them busy. We loved this vacation and have wonderful memories to cherish. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous home and lakefront property.

Total Package

Spent a long Labor Day weekend here. The home is beautifully situated in a community, with fabulous main lake views. There is just a ton of space for everyone to spread out, both inside and out. We had S’mores around the fire pit on the terrace outback and the kids loved jumping off the second story of the boat dock into the lake. We took advantage of the boat rental and spent countless hours tubing out behind the house. We come to the lake frequently so know to get down to Goat Island to tie up and let the little ones enjoy the beach and jumping off the dock. We grilled steaks up on the grill on the back deck and enjoyed making meals in the fully-stocked kitchen. Plenty of big screens to watch some football on as well! We’ve rented around the lake, but I can’t think of a location, on the main lake, that had as much as Firefly Bay! You can just book this property - no need to keep searching!

Perfection!

In the words of my 14-year-old daughter, “This was the best vacation I’ve ever had!” The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful; the house is spotless, decorated beautifully, and it was big enough for our large group of 19. The kitchen is very well stocked; we had absolutely everything we needed. The lake was perfect. The mayflies greeted us the first day or 2, but then we didn’t see them. They don’t bite, so they were never an issue. Hardly any bugs at all. I don’t think anyone ever used bug spray. Do yourself a favor and rent the pontoon boat, which is very reasonably priced. We used it every day and had a blast tubing and just exploring the lake. The provided kayaks and paddle boards that were used every day too. The floating mat was a hit as well. The hot tub is perfectly situated to enjoy the views of the lake. Speaking of views, we loved the fact that the house is on the main lake and could see the lake while relaxing inside. There is a beautiful Great Blue Heron that lives to the right of the house (standing on the dock looking at the lake). It was cool to see him every day. He will fly away if you come close on a kayak but doesn’t seem bothered by the boat. Adam and Rachel are amazing hosts and super responsive to questions. It’s obvious they want their guests to have a wonderful experience during their stay. We are so happy we decided to rent this house and plan on returning as soon we can!

Beautiful Lake House

It was our first time in a lake house, and we fell in love with it. We had so much fun with the pontoon, kayaks and paddle boards! We watched the sunset everyday while on the kayaks and paddle boards, it was very, very peaceful. The hot tub was a great way to end the day. The house has everything you need, it was very clean and very comfortable for a big family. The game room was so much fun for everyone! Adam was very helpful through out the check in and check out process. We can’t wait to go back!

"Pause, Plan, & Play" - what a great place to stay

Our family decided to get away for a few days during spring break for a retreat outing dubbed "Pause, Plan, & Play." We couldn't have picked a better venue. Pause Amazing views of the lake from every floor, comfy furniture for sitting and chatting (love the screened-in porch), and the kids even took turns helping to cook in the fully stocked kitchen. The house proved a great break from our busy lives and offered a time to reconnect with each other. Plan We got to welcome the sunrise doing yoga on the dock allowing us to ground ourselves for the day. Then throughout our stay we had amazing family conversations in the hot tub - with a picturesque view of a tranquil lake. Not everyone will finalize their summer camp schedules this way... but it was just an amazing place to facilitate discussions. Play Tons of fun to be had in the game room (I'm still undefeated in ping pong). My kids had never played billiards before and had the opportunity to give it a try on the pool table located in the basement. We took the kayaks out on the water - although the water was still a little chilly. Here's a testament to the magic of Firefly Bay, we managed to complete a full Monopoly game without a single fight!!!!! Grab your friends, bring your famiy - Firefly Bay makes for an incredible get away.

Super fun lakehouse vacation!

This house is amazing! So much room and perfectly set on Lake Gaston! The boat rental is a must do-we had hours of fun tubing on the lake! It is a fairly secluded property so we made full use of the spacious dining area and cooked each night utilizing the well stocked kitchen. The only critisim I would have about this area of the house is that the oven is a little small; especially compared to everything else in the home; but managable. The hottub had some issues during our stay that did not get resolved but we did still enjoy it somewhat. There are a lot of bugs so be prepared. But the house is wonderful-the downstairs entertainment area with the pool table, bar, big TV, etc..was a wonderful bonus. Having all the kayaks, paddleboards, etc right there was such a nice ammenity! Beautiful views, amazing house, super fun stay!

Luxury lakehouse

The house is as stunning in person as it is in the photos. It offers tons of space and privacy for large groups. The lake is healthy and amenities are top notch. Swimming in the lake is enjoyable and the teens enjoyed jumping from the dock. Kayaks and paddleboards and floats are in great condition. We should have rented the pontoon but there was a bit of a rainy forecast for the week. (Never was a problem though) The fire pit, pool table game room and jacuzzi were excellent for evening social times and we had tons of laughs The water pressure was great and there are enough bathrooms for everyone. The beds are very comfortable. The screened in porch is lovely for rainy mornings. The hosts are very responsive even for things beyond their control. We came during the height of mayfly season but the hose was all we needed and there was no disruption to our comfort. This was NOT a buggy lake because there are great breezes and water current. Highly recommend!!!

Great week at the lake

We absolutley loved our stay at Firefly Bay. It was a perfect spot for our large family to all be together. We spent the week boating, tubing, swimming and fishing. The property was wonderful and supplied with all we needed to enjoy our stay. It was very clean, and Adam and Racher were great hosts. We had to contact them a few times with questions and each time they were prompt and very attentive and helpful. I highly recommend this property!

Great house!

The house and property were exactly how described. We had a couple families with several small kids. The location is perfect for tubing and water skiing since it’s not that busy of an area on the lake. Water is clean and calm! Only negative is that there is no yard. The property in on a hill and there is no flat area for kids to play. Luckily everyone in our group loves the lake and didn’t need a yard. Would definitely stay here again!
