Great weather, perfect home (just the right amount of rustic). Kids especially enjoyed the dock and the floating mat. Adults enjoyed the kayaks and firepit. Truly a perfect place for our family. Owners have done a wonderful job in maximizing the space!

Great time
Location is fantastic. In a cove that is easy to access the main lake with some, but not a lot of boat traffic. Close to grocery store etc. House is nice and comfortable. Owners worked with us for everything we needed. Spent a lot of time swimming and on the dock. Dock provided right combination of sunny area and shade. Had a great time.

Fun on the lake
We had a great time on our mini vacation on Gaston Lake. The house and property was great, everything you need for a great stay, very clean and lots of room. My grandson loved all the lake toys provided. We rented a boat and everyone enjoyed riding the boat and the boat toys. The fire pit was a hit also. Overall a great vacation, would stay at this property again for sure

Great house and amenities. Everything was clean and as expected per the listing. We spent a lot of time on the dock and in the water. This part of the lake doesn't get too much traffic and a gas dock is close. Perfect getaway spot. Family loved it!

Perfect lake vacation
My family had a great time at this property. House was clean with plenty of room in a nice neighborhood. Excellent rental with all the things! The kids/young adults enjoyed kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding, fishing and playing games. We spent most of the day on the nice dock. The private boat ramp so close by was an added bonus. I would definitely book this property again.

Wonderful Getaway
Five stars from start to finish. This was a wonderful vacation for my whole family. The house is even better than we could have hoped. The private dock with all the fun water toys kept us all busy from sunup to sundown. The location was perfect for the laid back vibe we were hoping for and felt like we had our own personal spot at the lake. My kids are already asking if we can come back next year, and I can’t wait (unless we buy a place of our own :))!

Great trip, great place for about 3 regular size families.
Was a great stay, a good place for about three families, or generations, probably 10-12 people is the right size. The view, firepit, dock, quietness, balconies, etc. were all amazing. The downstairs separate suite was great for the family with small kids, still be there but away type of thing. Three full bathrooms was also great! The size of the yard, scope of the dock, and kayaks/stuff outside, was awesome for the kids and adults. Only thing on the negative, and it's a bit of a reach, was the size of the kitchen, but there isn't much that can be done about it, they've maximized space everywhere else. It's still fully functional and we were able to cook/serve full meals for 11. Well worth the stay! Easy 5 star rating.

Great Week!!
We had a great time at the Wee Blue Inn. Everything was exactly as seen & explained in the pictures and description. First time staying at this property and it will definitely NOT be the last. Love the location, the kayaks, swimming pad and place to tie up our boats. The house was very clean, the kitchen well stocked, plenty of linens and we had ample space for our group. The fire pit was awesome for s’mores and the deck & boat dock were wonderful. We had great weather and a blast swimming & skiing. Matt the owner was extremely nice and accommodating if I had any questions. Looking forward to staying here again!!!

If I could buy a lake house - this would be it!
From the easy access to the calm water in this part of Pea Hill Creek, to the cleanliness and comfort of the house - we were blown away! We have never really been lake people, but this house changed our minds. The owner was responsive and easy to communicate with, and check-in was a breeze. There were so many times I would think - “I wish I brought X” but then realize the owners had already though of it! Our kids jumped off the dock, swam, cruised around in the kayaks and SUPs provided. We rented a boat for two days and it was super easy to dock. We made a fire, played cornhole, and sat around the large table with board games. Linens provided made things easy too. We will definitely be back! We also met the neighbors next door that also VRBO and will be booking both houses for a large family get together soon. Thanks for making it such a special place to vacay!
