Pet Policy:  We know what it's like to have dogs that are part of the family, so we welcome well-behaved, fully housebroken dogs (limit 2). All dogs will need to be registered on the Lake Gaston Vacation Rentals site, and they must be supervised at all times or in a crate if home alone. Please respect our home by keeping the dogs off of the furniture, inside and outside.  It is the owner's responsibility to clean up any pet waste. There is a non-refundable pet fee of $250.  No cats please. 

Septic System:  The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system.  This system is a finely balanced biological system.  Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper.  Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.

Navigating the Lake: Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves.  Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boat.(make sure to bring your bumpers!). Be sure to lower your bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts.  Appearances can be deceiving!

Smoking Rules: Absolutely no smoking inide the property.  If there is any evidence of smoking, you will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund.  Smoking is permitted outside and at the boat house.

Trash: Please bag all trash and place it in the outdoor receptacles for pickup. We also provide concierge trash service, which means that if you have an overflow issue during your stay, we will pick-up the excess trash! Just give us a call or text.

Parking:  There is plenty of parking to accomodate a maximum capacity of 11 people.

Life Jackets: Guests are asked to bring their own life jackets to ensure safety and proper fit for everyone.

Boathouse: Quick note here for our boaters...the lifts are not available, but you can tie off at the dock.  Water depth at the end of the dock is approximately 3-4 ft. deep.
