All rooms are decorated. The comfort of our guests is a top priority. Friends and family have space to relax. A new sunroom porch has sliding glass windows offering sparkling views of the lake. Enjoy a cup of complementary coffee or tea as you relax in our new porch swing - pure relaxation.

Our boat house has a wide selection of life vests and floats. The private dock is the perfect place to soak up the sun. Grab a paddleboard, a kayak, or take out a canoe.
Our large pontoon boat is available to our guests free of charge during your stay. Everyone's favorite activity is towing friends on floats or boards behind the boat. A totally 100% refundable boat deposit is required 30 days before you arrive. VRBO IS NOT a part of any boat agreement. The boat use is my gift to guests. Contact me directly with any boat questions. You may bring your own boat and use my open slip at no cost. A variety of watercraft are rented everywhere around the lake and they deliver to our boathouse. Get out on the lake and have fun on the water!
Everything about the house was wonderful. Steve, the host, provides everything you need for a perfect stay -- there were plenty of beach towels, kitchen towels, coffee pods, tea choices, and even sunscreen. The use of the boat made for a perfect week. The boat house was full of life jackets and water sport activities. And there were 4 kayaks, 2 SUP, and a canoe that got a lot of use. A neighbor helps care for things at the house and when Steve found out the sitting tube was broken, he had the neighbor deliver another one the next day fully inflated. We had the best week at the Inn at Raintree!
Our stay was wonderful - the home had everything we needed - sheets, towels, washer, dryer with detergent, kitchen spices, wood for the fire pit ( great to roast s'mores)- dock had rafts, kayaks, canoe, kids loved tubbing - everyone had a great time!!
Steve is a wonderful host. He responds to any questions and concerns quickly. His home is a great place for families to gather. Our family has stayed at Inn at Raintree for several years. Each time, we notice new upgrades. The sunroom is a welcome addition! Many family meals and games were shared there. The dock and the boat are our favorite spots to gather. The kids enjoyed tubing and swimming. The downstairs gathering area was a great spot for kids movie days when it was a bit too rainy to be outdoors. The outdoor pingpong table was used for a family tournament. Thanks, Steve, for allowing us the use of your home.
Very clean and well kept, owner was very customer service oriented. Boat was great and kids had a ball with all the water toys. Close by to shopping and marinas. We have rented on lake Gaston before but this lake house, owner and property manager were over the top.
This home and all its wonderful amenities provided our family with an incredible vacation. The home is beautifully decorated, clean, and the design and functionality was perfect for our family. Steve was responsive and informative throughout the process, and patient with all my many questions. And once we experienced the Inn at Raintree, it is obvious he wants his guests to have the best experience possible. This home has everything! We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and all the amenities it offers.
We had a wonderful time. With our larger group of 10 we had plenty of space and didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Some areas could use a bit of additional cleaning but the owner was more than receptive. The property is beautiful.
A rental house that felt like home from beginning to end
From initial emails to final goodbyes, Steven was a fantastic host, and his beautiful lakefront home did not disappoint. He let us know up front what to expect, the resources and services around town available to us, and how to access every ounce of fun available to my family. We enjoyed days in the lake, reading on the dock, playing on the wide variety of floats and water toys, or just afternoons hanging inside. There were 11 of us (5 boys from 1.5 - 12 y.o. and 6 adults from 37-74!), and no one felt overcrowded. From the porches to firepit to the screened in dining space to the game room to the docks, there was always something to do or space to relax and do nothing.
We made fantastic memories. I highly recommend staying at the Inn at Raintree!
Our family enjoyed our stay at Inn at Raintree, despite Hurricane Debbyâs best attempts to rain us out. We spent a great deal of time at the dock enjoying the lake. Steve provides a nice assortment of water toys, kayaks, canoes and a paddleboard. The family enjoyed game nights on the screened porch. Steve is a wonderful, responsive host.
A great place for a big family. The house was not super clean on check in and oddly the beds had not been made. Minor stuff overall and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
This was my first VRBO rental. I was so happy with the process. Our host was very kind and was in contact throughout the process. The house was more than what we imagined it would be. On the lake with the extended family with plenty of room to spare. Bottom line: This property was exactly as advertised. Highly recommend!!
Lastly, I asked if my family wanted to come back, they answered "ABSOLUTELY". Enough said..
This had to be the most relaxing family vacation we have ever taken! The house was wonderful and fit all of our needs. Having the ability to have the boat for the week made our trip even more memorable. Steve was a great host and very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend! and hope to make it back again!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Inn At Raintree. We spent a majority of our time at the dock and in the lake. The area is a great place for tubing with the kids. Dock is a great place to gather as is the screened-in porch. The living area is comfy and held our group for game nights. Steve was a wonderful, responsive host. Our family hopes to return next year.
After a couple of little mishaps it was great. Second year here . Love the location. Steve was great on letting us get things workout at the house. Great host. Will be back. I have a big family. Lots of room for all of us. Thanks Steve.
We had a wonderful time at the lake. The house was spacious, nicely appointed and very clean. Bill was a great host - very responsive and helpful. We rented a boat with the house and the kids had a great time water-skiing. I would highly recommend this property.
Our family of 14 ages 3 years old to 64 years old had a great time at the Inn at Raintree. Plenty of room for everyone. Kids loved the downstairs game room.
A few updates are needed i.e new kitchen faucet and grill. Nothing that hampered our stay.
This property was beyond clean. We felt very welcomed by Bill and he went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We loved that the home is located in a great ski/surf/wakeboard cove and not far off the main lake. We couldn't have asked for a better VRBO experiance.
We had a wonderful week at this beautifully decorated home. There were eight of us from 79 to 12 years of age. the six bedroom house will sleep 18. We were looking for a place on Lake Gastan with easy access to the water with a big dock, and large home for all of us to have some privacy and room for games and reading. (don't remember to much reading but I do remember our 4 grand kids having a super time. The bottom floor of the house was a great place for the kids to play games and for us to watch James Bond movies at night. From there easy access to the water with not steps. Kitchen, dinning and three bedrooms on the main level were all great. Finally we were able to rent the owner's pontoon boat for the week along with water toys like a big rubber pull behind and water skies. Of course they were a hit for the kids.
I retired from the US Supreme Court in Washington DC. The natural beauty of North Carolina has kept me here. Lake Gaston is the perfect spot to vacation all year round. Please feel welcome in my home. My guests may use my pontoon boat to get everyone out on the lake. Bring delightful family memories back home with you.
Raintree is an established neighborhood full of friendly homeowners. Feel free to stroll safely around Raintree. Our wonderful neighbors all love the Lake Life. A few miles away are good local stores and very good restaurants.
The Inn at Raintree has all the comforts of home . My guests LOVE using my pontoon boat to explore Lake Gaston. Our full kitchen has everything you need. After dinner, relax and play games on our new sunroom. The boathouse is stocked with aquatic gear to use on the water. Gather around our stone patio firepit to relax and star gaze. Cook on our two outdoor grills. Our game room with Xbox is loads of fun. The kitchenette has a fridge / microwave. Watch blu ray movies while munching popcorn. All bedroom TV sets have Direct TV. The Inn at Raintree is the perfect getaway.
