Our sons and their families joined us for a family vacation at beautiful Lake Gaston. The house was awesome. Each family had their own bedroom area. The kitchen was well supplied. The outside area was awesome. Ate some meals on the screened in porch. The views of the lake from the back of the house were amazing. We all enjoyed the time spent down at the dock. The kids, ages 4-12, especially enjoyed the floating raft. There were quite a few (77) steps from the house to the dock, but definitely worth climbing. Enjoyed the quietness of the area. Not a lot of traffic or noise from neighbors. Would definitely return for another visit.
Our family group really enjoyed their stay here. Great screened porch. Sunset and moon set photo ops over the lake. Kids loved the rec room downstairs. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, etc. It really had something for everyone. Proximity to Rosemeont vineyards was awesome.
We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous house. There were 10 of us (plus 2 more day-trippers) ranging in age from 15-80 and we all had the best time. The house has ample space for everyone to spread out, there are tons of activities for everyone to enjoy (foosball, Pac-man, kayaks, swings, hot tub...and more!) Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook all weekend. The back screened in deck overlooking the lake is amazing. Just to note: a little challenging for someone with mobility issues as there are a bunch of steps to the dock and a skinny spiral staircase to the basement area...but that didn't stop any of us from having a wonderful time. The owners were great to work with too, as we had a couple of minor things that were addressed immediately. Highly recommend this rental and we hope to enjoy it again soon!
Beautifully situated on Lake Gaston, the home was well-suited for a family ranging in age from 2 to 78. Convenient kitchen, two fireplaces, plenty of TVs and games, and a great hot tub and firepit. Perfect for those chilly winter nights! Highly recommended. Note: linens & towels are not provided and the only interior staircase is spiral.
Wonderful long weekend at the Flip Flop Inn. Our family had a great time! We hope to come back when it is warm & enjoy the screened porch on the back. Beautiful sunsets!!
Everything was great! The kids had lots to do and the grown up cooked and relaxed! Location was great, nice indoor and outdoor features. We rode bikes, got in the jacuzzi and just hung out!!!
We loved the flip flop inn! Plenty of room for everyone and such a fun game room. Everyone had a blast. Lots of steps to the dock kept us from gaining weight from all of the food and drink! Shady shack and rosemont winery nearby were added extra bonuses.
This is our second time to rent this property. The house is well maintained and checkin and check out process are smooth. Location and view are great. The only thing is the AC is not power enough to cool down the room temperature when we had 100 degrees outside. The porch would be pretty hot in the afternoon since there is no AC.
This was a perfect spot for a quiet girlsâ weekend getaway. We were blessed with good weather, but the home has plenty of amenities for a rainy day. We spent most of our time admiring the amazing views from the screened back porch. We loved the property.
The property location is amazing! I literally cried at how beautiful the lake was when I first walked on the back covered deck. Boat rental is a must! Sun sets are incredible! The house was perfect for my family and we will definitely be back!
This place was amazing and we all enjoyed everything about it. When we walked in it smelled so fresh and clean we immediately felt at home. The views from the back were beautiful all day long and we were lucky enough to witness the meteor shower one night from the upstairs deck. This home has so much built in entertainment, never a dull moment. We rented a pontoon and brought 2 of our own jetskis.
We stayed here with my wife and two kids along with my in-laws and we had a great time. The view is gorgeous whether itâs first thing in the morning or watching the sun set! The dock had several kayaks along with a big floating raft which made for relaxing times on the water. Also, thereâs a tv in the screened in deck, so we enjoyed an evening movie! Other than than, we had a ton of quality family time and made some great memories. Would definitely recommend!
Breath taking! The place had multiple areas that could accommodate a large group of people ( 10+) to gather in one space, to eat and play.
Many areas indoors to sit and relax. Kitchen and large grill made preparing family meals easy and enjoyable! Outdoors there are multiple areas to sit in the sun, shade, screened in, or in even in the rain!
The dock area/boat house requires many, many steps to reach, but so worth it! Just remember to bring everything down that you may need or want to enjoy swimming, fishing, relaxing, kayaking, etc!
Our family had a wonderful time at the Flip Flop house. The owners provide a lot of extras, like outdoor seating, kayaks, and floats. The fishing from the dock was a plus for the children who each were able to catch something.
There were a couple of issues we discovered after our arrival, the owners were quick to respond and notify us when they would be resolved.
The steps to the dock was quite a lot for some of us âseniorsâ but it provided us with some cardio for the week.
We enjoyed our stay here! They have everything you need to enjoy the lake and the view is breathtaking. Communication with the owners was quick. We had a great time lying out in the sun on the boathouse, kayaking, and hot tubbing. One day it rained all day and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch drinking coffee and watching TV. The game room was a lot of fun, too! We played basketball, Pac-Man, and foosball. We meant to set up ping pong but never got around to it. There was always something to do so you donât need to go anywhere. The kitchen is well-stocked which we appreciated. Loved having meals together. I would definitely recommend this place.
Beautiful Lake Views plus a family fun dock and house!
We have rented many homes on vrbo and we have never had an owner as kind and responsive as John was! He was so quick to answer our questions and was very helpful with anything we needed. The house was a great fit for our family vacation. The 6 bedrooms were nice so everyone had their space. We absolutely loved the outdoor space and spent much of our time down at the water. The 2 story dock has hammocks, swings, kayaks, chairs, tubes & everything you need to enjoy lake life! We loved the views from the hot tub and the sunsets were gorgeous!
Lake Gaston is just beautiful and we would definitely go back. Thanks again John for opening up your home to us. God bless
This was my first time renting a Lake house at Lake Gaston. My kids, grandkids and myself really enjoyed it. The Flip Flop Inn has great views of the lake and beautiful sunset views.
On the top level they have a nice size gas grill outside of the screened in porch which you can watch all the boats and water skiers go by while you grill out.
Downstairs they have so many games, Wii System, Foosball, Pop a Shot Basketball game, Dart Board, Pac Man, Donkey Kong and other games on the machine and a Ping Pong table which my grandkids played on most of the time. They have a nice firepit which my grandkids made smores from at night time. Also a really nice Hot Tub to relax in. They even have a outdoor shower there. And I might add a lot of seating for everyone and Hammock's outside at the house and at the boat dock.
And there is also a Gazebo on the way down to the boat dock.
The floating boat dock is 2 stories and they have everything down there that you need to enjoy the lake with. My son's fished off of it and one day a boat stopped by and gave them some fish that they had caught that day.
We all had a great time and looking forward to going back again.
My family and I had a great time at the lake house. That said this was obviously (maybe at the time the photos were taken) a very nice place that has been neglected and used just for rental income. The upstairs beds and bath were very nice but the kitchen and the rest of the property need some serious love. The yard was unkept with very tall grass. The stairs (97 of them) to the dock are rickety. Broken cabinets in the kitchen held together with a hair tie. The gazebo is rickety.
The house wasnât really clean, slop on the kitchen cabinets and pee down the front and sides of the toilets. Sticky floors etc. The house has a central vacuum that would be cool if it worked, a regular vacuum thatâs brush didnât work and a giant rattty corn broom from1970 to sweep the floors.
The trash situation is terrible, crappy old trash cans held shut with bungy cords from 1960 that the critters can easily get into and spread your trash everywhere. Oh! And you have the pleasure of taking your trash to the âdumpâ which is a horrific hell hole. There is no trash pickup (although there could be if the owners paid for it).
Ok so on to the good. There is a ton of stuff for kids to do inside and out. Tons of games. The dock is awesome and with kayaks and a ton of cool stuff. The kids had a blast.
This place would be amazing with some upkeep and some god bless trash service and decent trash cans.
Our first family Thanksgiving trip was a success. I donât think we have ever stayed at a place that had such a well stocked kitchen. Every thing we could have possibly needed for fixing a huge meal was there and more.There were so many things to keep everyone busy. Our grandson was glued to the video game! The view of the sunsets were
