We found this property quickly when our other home fell through. It was a blessing indeed! The home was very clean and well represented on VRBO. The owner answered questions honestly and was responsive. We didn’t need to contact her for anything during our stay, everything went smoothly.

First Time at Lake Gaston

We had an enjoyable stay at this property. It fit our family perfect and only had one issue with the AC the first day. It was very hot that week and the upstairs was not cooling down. The host was very responsive and had someone there the next morning. Location was close to stores and we discovered a wonderful coffee shop. The dock area was great for floating and hanging out. The stairs are a bit steep and need to be careful. Thank you for a great week.

One of our favorites...

What can we say? This is our 3rd or 4th time staying at Linger Longer and we love it. We hate writing reviews to bring more people, but we also know how important they are in choosing your property, so… Absolutely a 5-star property with great owners and overall amazing experience. You will love the sunsets from the screened porch, living room, kitchen, deck, EVERYWHERE - completely stunning. This location on the lake is great too. It is through a very narrow and low bridge and so you don't get any boat traffic unless people are from that part of the lake. The private island and 3 fingers around this private part of the lake are great for boating and water sports. The property has 2 kayaks which are perfect on this quiet area. It would be nice if they would add a few SUP boards (hint-hint) but if they don't you can rent them literally around the corner. The dock has plenty of chairs and floats and the recently added dock bar adds a nice flair. Bring a portable speaker for the dock, as the dock sound system is for the owners only from what we can tell. The walk-out finished lower level is a great place for the kids and adults to hang and play ping pong and foosball. There are also two bedrooms down there. The master BR and jacuzzi are great. Very quiet neighborhood with quiet neighbors and the properties nearby don't seem like rentals, so you feel very secluded and private. The screened in porch is amazing for morning coffee! This is a must-stay property (just not when we are)

Great change from the beach!

Wow, what a great week we had. Lake Gaston is unbelievably beautiful. This property is almost like being on your own private lake next to the lake. Our kids tubed, swam, skied and had a fantastic time. Almost 18ft deep lake at the dock was great to swim and fish. Thank you! We will be back to Lake Gaston for sure.

This place really felt like home. So warm and welcoming.

The owners were great in answering all my questions when I booked and the weeks leading up to our trip. When we got to the house light switches were very clearly marked which was a big help as it is a large house. It is very private and extremely quiet. It was a little off the main road but I only made one bad turn. The kitchen was great and had everything we could ever want. I hope you have a tall person with you as some of the shelves are a little high. The refrigerator was super and the dishwasher extremely quiet. The bedrooms and baths were convenient and clean. Loved the screen porch which was fantastic for late night “girl” chats. The boathouse was very nice and had a lovely bar area. We were lucky the water was so warm and all the teens enjoyed swimming. All in all it was a perfect place for a perfect family birthday celebration. In fact we had four. I wish to thank the Higgins for letting us enjoy their wonderful lake house.

Amazing House, Wonderful Location

We had everything that we needed at this house. Well stocked kitchen and floats for the boathouse. Loved having a refrigerator on the dock. This house does not supply linens so we had to bring our own sheets and towels.

Wish I could have lingered longer!

The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The screen porch was so inviting and I especially enjoyed my early mornings on the porch overlooking the water. The finished basement offered multiple fun things for my grown children to do. We also loved spending time on the dock watching the sunset every night. The view is spectacular. The steps down to the lake were a little challenging but we made it work. The owner was very easy to talk with and very attentive when I had a question. Overall the house was perfect for our family.

Wow, we had an amazing stay at Linger Longer. Wonderful hosts who have a most beautiful home. Everything you could ask for, inside and out the home. Well stocked kitchen, beautiful screened porch and we spent most of our time on the dock which had everything you could need. Chairs, floats, kayaks etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our week!

A lovely place at Lake Gaston

Linger Longer is a lovely place to stay at Lake Gaston. It is well equipped, comfortable, has wonderful views of the lake and the dock is the place to be all day. I went with my husband and a couple of friends. We had plenty of room, the screened in porch was one of our favorite places to be. We also enjoyed the provided kayaks. It is well taken care of and clean. I look forward to returning to enjoy it longer.

Our group was 3 families with 6 boys ranging from 10-16. Every adult and child enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect and allowed us to use our SUP, the homes kayaks and peddle boat and store our jet skis and boat. The house was very clean, had gorgeous views, was well equipped and comfortable. With easy access to the main lake, we were able to enjoy goat island, see the damn and more. All 3 families agreed that we will be back!

Fantastic Property

Linger Longer was an amazing place to spend a week. The house is located off of the main lake and because the coves were rather large, it made us feel like we were on our own private lake. We have rented several houses over the years and this one has been the nicest so far. The house is modern, spacious, extremely clean and had the best screened in porch. In the past the screened in porches have been pretty much in need of repair with old, uncomfortable, in need of repair furniture, dirty and covered in spider webs etc.. and with multiple tears in screens. This one was spacious, clean and looked in perfect shape and nicely appointed. Any time not spent on the lake, was spent here-Day and night. The house had everything we needed and we were even provided water floats, lounge chairs, kayaks and other fun toys to enjoy the lake. The owner was friendly and communicated well. Always available when I had questions. This house was definitely a 5 star house and I would recommend it to everyone. We had a fantastic week and felt at home!

We had a wonderful week at Linger Longer ... we seriously wanted to "linger longer" ... pun intended :-) Very comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, modern TV's, wifi works great! The BEST though was the screened-in porch! We were here in October so more of a Fall season experience (we didn't boat or swim). Fabulous property and would love to come back!

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful lakehouse. House was tastefully decorated and had all the amenities that we needed. My favorite room was the screened porch with the beautiful view of the lake. Every morning, I started the day with a cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine at the end of the day while enjoying the view of the lake. Our kids enjoyed jumping off the dock and swimming in the lake daily. They also enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. We also spent hours of laying on the floats. Lori was very friendly and responsive with any questions we had. My husband said this was one of the most relaxing vacation ever. We would highly recommend this lakehouse to anyone. We would love to come back again next year!
