"This place is wonderful. One of the best properties I've stayed in using VRBO. The layout, the openness was spectacular. We rented this house as a surprise for my mom's 74th birthday and she was blown away. The kids didn't want to leave. If you are looking for a place to get away and relax with your family, this is a great place with 8 bedrooms in a multi-level home. 5 stars all around."

From the moment we decided to book the house to the very last "Thank you" message we received from the host, this has been nothing but a positive experience. The pics are beautiful, but the house is so much more beautiful when you're there! The booking was easy through VRBO, then the host contacted us after the booking to ask if we needed anything. All requests were honored by her and she always promptly responded to all questions. Then house had everything we wanted and more. The kids (& the adults) enjoyed the lake and all the fun activities set up for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the firepit. The hot tub, the theater, the well-stocked kitchen, extra blankets...everything was good. Amazing host! Amazing house! We will definitely be back again...and again...and again! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home with us!

The Perfect Lakehouse

I recently celebrated my birthday with friends at what turned out to be the best location ever! From watching movies in the great media room, fishing, grilling to preparing gourmet meals in the two kitchens and s'mores by the fire pit-this place covered it all. It definitely lived up to the name of Icing on the Lake! The new owner Elle was very proactive and gracious with supplying useful information and responsive to all inquiries. I couldn't have asked for a better way to create new memories with special friends. Absolutely Perfect!!

The property was great! Probably the nicest house we have ever rented. The house was beautiful, functional and had everything you could need. The towels and linens were so nice, and beds were comfy. I wish we had had more time to enjoy all the property had to offer. Our family stayed the weekend to attend our dads Celebration of life, and everything was great! Elle was so nice to communicate with. We would definitely recommend!

★★★★★

We love all the space that this place provides, both in bedrooms and in living spaces, including 2 full kitchens. Elle, the owner, was so helpful in answering my questions!! All our communication was clear and quick. We had an issue on our end because of a family situation and she helped us in every way possible to solve the problem. Looking forward to being there next year!

Perfect Lake House

Our family celebrated Christmas here and the house was exactly what we were looking for, clean and spacious. There are numerous shared spaces around the house where different groups could gather so it never felt cramped or crowded. Some people were watching a movie in the theater room, some were chatting around a fire place, others were playing card games, and others were watching football - and there were separate spaces to do all of these at the same time! Elle was incredibly responsive and accommodating host; whether I reached out to her in the late evening or early morning, she always responded to questions very promptly. I highly recommend this property.

Amazing family weekend!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! We recently found out we had long lost family members and we got to have the most special reunion at this house. Elle was so responsive and helpful and the house had everything we needed! I would absolutely recommend and we look forward to going back!!

Book now!

This is an amazing home! We stayed to celebrate early Christmas with my family and had 22 people (children and adults). The 8 large bedrooms were great for sleeping and the two levels of living space provided plenty of room for us all. The kids loved having movie night in the movie room and playing the provided board games. There are two kitchens which helped when preparing dinners! The views are amazing and we really enjoyed the gas fireplaces during the evening. We hope to come back in the summer to get out on the lake but this house really has it all to enjoy even in December!

Wonderful Property

Elle is an amazing host who presented a beautiful waterfront property with all the items you could imagine needed already there. This is a must stay and there is just so much space for you to host a large family. The internet is stable but satellite so don’t expect to stream a lot but there is so much available on dish plus Disney that you will be good. All that said between the beautiful grounds, hot tub, fire pit, deck, dock, and the cute neighborhood of Warrenton I doubt you spend much time inside and if you do pour a drink and enjoy there view by the fireplace!

★★★★★

Our family had a wonderful week in this beautiful home. We normally stay closer to Food Lion but the extra drive was well worth it. The wifi was a little wonky so that made us appreciate our togetherness even more and the teens put down their devices, lol. We'll definitely keep this home on our favorite list to stay again. Elle is very gracious and attentive : )

★★★★★

We booked this house for 14 adults (7 siblings and spouses) for two nights. The house was beautiful, extremely spacious and had everything you could possibly want for a vacation. The only downfall was that we weren’t there long enough to enjoy everything the house had to offer. Elle was wonderful to work with. She responded very promptly to every inquiry and was extremely helpful in planning our visit. We will definitely be booking with her again.

★★★★★

The Lakehouse exceeded my expectations in look & feel. We all felt at home. Each person had their own space. There was plenty of amenities. We didn’t get to enjoy everything. This truly felt like home away from home.

★★★★★

The lakehouse was perfect for our retreat of 8 people. So much space to spread out. Everything is well-appointed and clean. Elle was incredibly responsive in communicating, and check-in was a breeze. Would love to stay here again!

★★★★★

It’s a really good house, with a great multi-level deck and boathouse. Perfect for our 8 person retreat. Nice quiet cove just off the main channel of Lake Gaston. Peaceful, lovely surroundings. Elle was a terrific communicator.

★★★★★

Great location! Very responsive and helpful hosts. If you’re in the area choose this home.

Happy go lakey was amazing and perfect for our family weekend getaway. Elle had anything and everything there we needed. We had to reach out one time to help figure out the lighting outside and she was very responsive and helpful. Our kids loved the pool and the trampoline the most. You definitely will not be bored at this house. Thank you again Elle for a very memorable weekend!!

We absolutely loved staying here! The house is gorgeous and exactly as described, and it is so peaceful being out there. Elle was so helpful in the booking process and leading up to our stay, and we honestly had the best time ever. Thank you again so so much!
