About this property

Awesome Views! Two Full-Kitchens And Relaxing Fire Pit Area!

Come and take a look from Our Point of View! Take just a six minute drive to Great Creek Landing subdivision from I-85, and you will experience gentle, rolling hills, perfect for walking or biking, that lead to a beautiful lakeside home perfect for any get-away. Our Point of View is located at the entrance of a peaceful cove with a magnificent view of the greater lake.

Our Point of View is a five bedroom home (Three of the bedrooms include king beds with gorgeous lakefront views!) which comfortably sleeps 17 guests (with beds for all 17 guests). The main level has a large kitchen with updated appliances and dining area, perfect for cooking and entertaining. The living room includes a 60" smart TV, so no one misses the big game, even those "working" in the kitchen! Two bedrooms (king and queen) are located on the main level with a full bath and laundry room. The lower level, a walkout basement, has been recently painted and updated. The living room contains a sectional sofa, large 55" smart TV, custom bar, games, books for all ages and a foosball table. This lower level also includes a full kitchen with washer and dryer, making our home perfect for multiple families to get away from it all together, but still have their own space! The lower level also features two bedrooms (king and bunk room) and a full bath. On the third floor is a master suite, including a Jacuzzi tub, with breathtaking views of the lake.

While the inside has all the comforts of home, it's the lakeside view our guests will rave about. This home includes multiple outdoor seating areas for you to choose from to relax or gather with friends. Spend lake front time on the main level deck (complete with a gas grill), or rest on the patio on the lower level with ping pong table, charcoal grill and newly built fire pit! The fire pit is nestled in the middle of a stone seating area with Adirondack chairs built for relaxing and taking in the scenery day and night! Don't forget the fixings for S'mores over the fire pit! A paved walkway on a gentle slope leads you to a large dock, perfect for sunning, and with a water depth of eight feet, it's also great for swimming, floating and fishing. A boat house is located on the dock with 2 paddle boards and 3 kayaks for use during your stay at no additional charge. After a long day of fun in the sun, shower off outdoors in our newly built private, outdoor shower equipped with both hot and cold water.

Our Point of View offers every comfort of home. Enjoy this lakeside paradise with views that will leave you breathless. This is truly a special property that makes the most of an ideal location and allows you to feel like you are on vacation from the moment you arrive.

Thanksgiving Family Trip

Our family had a wonderful time. We loved the two sitting areas. This home had everything we needed. Very well stocked kitchen. The beds were all so comfy. We loved the fire pit too. Our grandson caught large catfish and it made his day. The older kids jumped in the lake. (per our yearly tradition). Quite chilly!!! We will be back. Our hostess was terrific. Thank you!!

Beautiful Home

My family of 14 had a wonderful stay at My Point of View. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable!! Outside there was a beautiful new fire pit and an easy walkway down to the dock. The dock was in a quiet cove and everyone enjoyed fishing off the dock. Having use of the kayaks and paddle boards was so much fun. We rented a pontoon and had a couple jet skis to enjoy on the lake. Jodie, thanks for being an amazing host and quick to respond to our questions and needs. We highly recommend this vacation home.

Fun week at Lake Gaston

Our family had a great week at Our Point of View. Jodie was a great host. She was very responsive to any questions we had. We loved the boat dock and spent many hours floating and swimming in Lake Gaston. Since there was a tropical storm in the forecast for later in the week, we decided to take advantage of every good day. It turns out there was only one rainy day which we spent indoors playing game as a family. Our granddaughters loved the bunk room and jumping off the dock. We rented a boat and jet ski to take full advantage of the lake. Highly recommend 313 Franklin Kitchen in South Hill. A great experience and really good food. We also enjoyed lunch at the Shady Shack and a visit to Rosemont Winery. A great time was had by all!

Glorious Week at Lake Gaston

Our family, eight people in three generations loved our time at Point of View Lake House. The house was great, with bedrooms and bathrooms on three levels, the best stocked kitchen we’ve experienced with a VRBO rental, and is situated only a few steps from the lake. The dock was a highlight for our grandchildren, who loved swimming near the dock in the safety of our cove. The pictures of the home are very accurate. Everyone in our family recommends Point of View.

Great family home!

We stayed with extended family including children aged 6 months to 13. The property was great with many kid-friendly amenities. Aside from swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding in the lake, we also especially enjoyed the fire pit and hanging out on the screened-in porch. The home had the most well-stocked kitchen of any VRBO we’ve ever rented which made cooking for the family easy. Looking forward to coming again!

Sweet Spot for Family Togetherness

Family time well spent in this beautiful vacation home. The location on the lake was perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and floating. While fish were sparse (most likely due to the beaver’s daily swim through), we loved the ability to fish with the property fishing license. The outdoor fire pit area was a beautiful spot to gather at day’s end. The screened in porch was perfect for book lounging. The home was clean and spacious for 16 people. The outdoor shower a lifesaver for our large group. Jodie was quick to respond when needed and always very polite. Highly recommend this rental not just for the property, but also because of the owners. We’ve stayed in many rentals for vacation, but Jodie was by far one of the best.

Quiet Cove

Our annual family vacation was wonderful! This house is very well stocked; games, books, closets with blankets and fans, kitchen with everything you need, outdoors with kayaks and SUPs. The owners are fantastic and so easy to communicate with. The cove is peaceful and opens up to the side of the lake the perfect size for boating and tubing!

Fantastic and hospitable

The location is great for large groups. Plenty of space with lots of room to come together if you’d like but also enjoy your individual comfort as well. The view of the lake is stunning morning, noon and night. The only concerns may be lack of cellular reception and how far it is from any city needs like shopping or restaurants, but if you’re looking to get away from it all, that’s perfect. Amazing for group bonding

Best Family trip ever

There’s about 12 of us coming from up and down the east coast. We have been doing Outer banks but decided to try a lake vacation. We were so happy we have already booked for next year. So much to do on the property. Just bobbing in The lake most of the time. Next year we will rent wave runners and possibly a boat. If you are thinking about a lake vacation. This prop was awesome and checked all the boxes.

Relaxing And Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay very much. Lazy days just kayaking, paddle-boarding and making memories. The house was comfortable and a great layout for us with the three different levels and it was so nice to just walk across the yard to the dock. Lots of amenities but it was disappointing to find that some things were broken, such as the seat backs on the kayaks. They were still perfectly usable but not as comfortable as they could have been. Jodie had ordered new paddles to replace some that were missing and they were there on the porch when we arrived - much appreciated. She also replaced a broken coffee-maker ASAP. She always responded quickly and satisfactorily. Thanks for providing the fishing license - our 7 year old grandson was thrilled to catch his first fish ever from the dock! Be aware that towels are not included in the linen package, a fact that we didn't know until after the cancellation date had passed. Those, along with the other basics that were not provided - paper towels, trash bags, more than one roll of TP per bathroom, tissues, made for a lot of last minute scrambling to buy and find room in the car for things that we are used to having provided in rental homes.

Little piece of paradise

We loved our stay with our extended family over the 4th of July! Highly recommend renting a boat during your stay. We were able to enjoy the house, boat dock, and lake for tubing, swimming, and fishing. Beautiful sunsets and really liked how this house is in a protected cove. The lake was like glass! This place is amazing and really enjoyed our time. Will definitely be back!

Great family vacation home

We took our kids and grandkids, and this home was the perfect layout. A well-stocked kitchen, plenty of games for the kids, and just steps away from the lake. The dock is located in a cove, which was great for docking our boat, and for taking advantage of the water toys our host provided. Definitely one of the top lake homes we have rented over the years.

About the host

Hosted by Our Point of View owner

Host profile image
Martin and I have been married since 1999 and I can honestly say we have had some kind of project going since day one! In addition to raising two teenage daughters, working as a second grade teacher, and Martin a mechanical engineer, our life has been full of remodeling, creating and construction of some type! When we bought Our Point of View in September of 2016 we agreed we would only do a few simple improvements the first year. Wrong! Before we knew it we decided to repaint and update almost the entire lower level! We just want our guests to feel comfortable and enjoy their surroundings while visiting. Martin grew up on a Caribbean island so he loves water and boating. We both knew we wanted a place that was easy to get to in a short amount of time. Lake Gaston was the perfect spot! We love it and hope you will too!

Why they chose this property

We knew Our Point of View was the right house for us the moment our realtor drove us down the driveway! Martin and I both fell in love with the lake view! We loved the gentle slope of the yard, the large dock and the location. We get the benefits of seeing the greater lake combined with the coziness of being in a cove. In addition, we also love the location. It is easily accessible from I-85 and only takes about an hour for us to get here from our home. It is so nice to go from a hectic, crazy schedule to total tranquility in such a short amount of time!

What makes this property unique

Immediately, we saw the benefits of this home. For starters, it has two full kitchens! Not many lake rentals have this. Personally, I am not a fan of cooking but some renters love it. But more importantly, I envisioned family and friends getting together not only during the summer but for holidays! Two ovens and two refrigerators definitely come in handy. Plus having a complete lower level gives multiple families more space. Another benefit of this home is the master bedroom and bathroom having its own level. In addition, the views are amazing from the third level! The first thing we did when we bought the home was position the bed to look out at the lake. It's a great view to enjoy first thing in the morning after you wake up! There are many benefits about this home but another one that stands out is the yard. We have a large front yard, great for volleyball or kickball, and an awesome lakeside yard. I told Martin when we saw the house that the house screamed for some attention in the back even though the view was amazing. It needed to be brought to life! This is where the beginning of Martin's design of the fire pit and walkways started! I look forward to listening to old stories and creating new ones by this fire pit. I hope you and your friends and family will too!
