Description
Still. Waters. Refuge. These three words describe the lifestyle you'll enjoy while on vacation in a luxurious cottage on the lake. This craftsman-style home features BREATHTAKING SUNSETS on an expansive area of Lake Gaston! WINDOWS GALORE greet you the moment you walk into the home reminding you of why you came. Bright & airy living spaces with vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan allow you to truly relax and decompress. Living spaces transition seamlessly into a fully stocked culinary kitchen with large center island, wine cooler, granite countertops and hickory hardwood floors! A casual breakfast bar seats 6 comfortably. Two additional tables (6 and 4) seat up to 10 more inside. More options are available with exterior seating for 10 more! TWO private master suites (1 on main and 1 in basement) with spacious rooms allow for intimate "getaway" time even when hosting large groups. Remaining sleeping areas have either Queen, Twin or Bunk beds with endless options for ensuring kids and adults have appropriate spaces. The walk-out basement is a perfect place to flop for kids young and old offering plenty to do for large groups even on rainy days! Enjoy a game of pool, TV in the living area, a game of cards or board games at a dedicated gaming table or just relax and watch the kids entertain themselves! THEN...there's the BOATHOUSE!!! Many guests spend their entire time at this fabulous dock reading, sun bathing, swimming, boating, eating and talking while the sun sets on another perfect day. This unique dock area is equipped with swinging chairs and cheerfully colored Adirondak chairs for comfortable casual setting to kick back, relax and soak in the sunsets! Want to deepen that tan? Grab a drink and head topside to the party deck. Feel like you need to get up and move around a bit? Not one to sit still? Why not set off on an adventure and explore nearby coves, islands and wildlife with the kayaks provided for your enjoyment! All this and more, is conveniently located close to Wal-Mart, Food Lion, gas stations, restaurants, marina, dog boarding and local winery. Just 5 minutes off of I-85 between Raleigh & Richmond.

Just the right level of good, clear communication throughout the process of booking to staying on the property to check-out.

SWR is a beautiful house on an exceptional location of Lake Gaston and is set up to comfortably host a large number of guests. This was or second stay and we expect to come back. The property offers something for everyone. The kitchen has everything thing you need to prepare meals for large groups. The open space concept provides eating together and then playing board games and cards together. A similarly large common area/game room connects all downstairs bedrooms with TV/gaming console, pingpong, air hockey/bollards. There is a nice fire ring on the way to the waterfront. Then there is the versatile 2 story boathouse and dock that supports swimming, fishing, game playing and picnicking, and sunbathing up top. It was sunny and highs near 90 our entire visit, and we had a comfortable time enjoying the waterfront in the shade of the boathouse area and swimming from the dock. This place is very much a peaceful refuge.

Les was so great at answering all of our questions and assisting us in any way he could. Ryan was a life saver. He came on a Sunday to get rid of a mayfly swarm on the dock. He stayed for several hours to get it all taken care of. He was so kind and helpful!

Still Water Refuge is a great house! We loved the location, as it wasnt in such a busy area. The house is beautiful and had anything we could have possibly needed to make our stay comfortable! There was plenty of room for our large family to gather, but also have separate space. The sunset views are simply gorgeous!
