Family Getaway on Large Quiet Cove w/Great views!

NO REGRETS with this lake house, just read our reviews! This is a Family Friendly waterfront home in a quiet and relaxing neighborhood with GREAT VIEWS on Pea Hill Creek. The Primary Guest renting our home and signing the rental agreement must be at least 25 years of age.

With over 300' of beautiful bulk headed shoreline on Lake Gaston this home is all about true Lake Living! This tastefully decorated lake cottage will surprise you w/ 3 bedrooms & 2 baths on the main level & an extra bedroom & full bath on the lower level giving you ample room for family & friends. The 1st floor great room is picture perfect w/ tongue & groove wood cathedral ceilings w/large stained beams, wood floors & brick fireplace...all opening up to the large covered porch giving you the ideal place to relax & enjoy the fabulous water views that surround this property. The large sliding glass doors give easy access to the generous level lawn and outdoor fire pit.

DirecTV upstairs and AppleTVs upstairs and down so you can AirPlay your Vacation photos and videos or your own media content!

The dock was completely rebuilt in 2016 and guests can enjoy the shaded area with ceiling fan, LED rope lights (for evening enjoyment) and BLUETOOTH speakers for listening to your tunes. The end of the dock is in 7' of water to allow swimming and jumping off the dock as well as steps to walk into the water from the land into a sandy bottom. There is also a large blue foam swim pad which the kids (and adults) can enjoy sunning and playing on while swimming off the dock! (PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE SWIM PADS FROM THE WATER).

The boat lifts and jet ski lifts are NOT for use by renters or guests. There are built in bumpers and tie down cleats to the right of the pontoon boat for guest boat storage.

Three youth kayaks, four adult kayaks, and two stand up paddle board are available for use by guests.

There is a private neighborhood boat ramp (combo provided at check in) so you don't have to mess around with busy marina ramps. The fishing is also very good at Gaston with striped bass, largemouth bass, crappie and other pan fish and catfish.

A Food Lion, an Ace Hardware, a Subway, and ice cream shack are all located within 5 miles. Other lakeside restaurants are nearby around the lake and they range from casual to more formal. Roanoke Rapids is a 20 minute drive from the house, with a mall with a Belk Store, Super Wal-Mart, movie theater, and numerous restaurants.

We enjoyed our second stay at The Wee Blue Inn very much. The house is clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The views of the lake are absolutely stunning. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the cooler fall temperatures.

We LOVED our stay, so peaceful and quiet. The addition of the pathway and firepit were fantastic! The house was clean and well stocked with amenities and "lake toys". This was our first visit to the area and we had so much fun and will be back!

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.

RELAXING home on lake; perfect for our family
Was a perfect spot for our family, and we made some lifelong memories. Very spacious yard on the lake with a new dock complete with Bluetooth speakers. The owner is very responsive and organized with timely communication of key info. Would definitely recommend.

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 :))!

Precious little blue paradise
We enjoyed a lovely 4 nights here. Our favorites about the house were the deck and docks spaces. At the lake those make a house and this house is amazing with seating, lightening, views, music and just overall comfort! We loved the kayaks and just relaxing! The house was beyond comfortable for our family of 5. I loved the decor and how they took an older house and really made it cute, clean, modern and comfy. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Loved everything about this property. It was just as described. Had ALL of the comforts of home. Dock was perfect. Swim mat was so fun. Great location on the lake. House was clean and ready. Communication with manager was great. I don’t have a single complaint.

What a Gem!
Wonderful, clean, updated and beautifully decorated lakehouse. Was perfect for the six of us! The owner was very accomodating and the kayaks and paddle board made it extra fun for all of us! Beautiful view and a great location on the lake. The boathouse even had bluetooth speakers which my husband and teenagers enjoyed! I'm a little hesitant to say too many good things about this place because we all want to come back again! A great place for a family vacation! We didn't want to leave!

Beautiful location, comfortable house with plenty of room for our big family.
House looks deceptively small but once you walk in and see the large bottom level it had plenty of space for our group (we had six kids ranging from 9-14 and four adults). The dock is huge and the kids had a blast using the floating pad that was provided and jumping straight into the deep end of the lake. There were enough kayaks and paddle boards for everyone. We have gone to this house for the last several years and plan on continuing this family tradition for many years to come!

This was a wonderfully located, equipped and lovely lake home! My family can’t wait to go back!
We had a wonderful stay here! I grew up visiting Lake Gaston and couldn’t wait to get back! I visited with my parents and four children ranging in ages from 6-15. There was something for everyone! The dock was amazing. My children enjoyed swimming off the dock and especially the blue anchored swimming pad. I loved the paddle board and we all used the adult and kid kayaks. Our favorite nightly activity was cane pole fishing and caught lots of perch! The house was so nice. We had plenty of sleeping space and enjoyed the lake views. The yard was spacious and everyone enjoyed corn hole and wiffle ball. I am already looking forward to a visit next summer!

A relaxing lake house and great host
House has a very nice lot and amenities. Owners are obviously vested in the house and have made some updates since last year. Lake is a nice escape, and the kayaks/paddle boards are great and kept in good shape. Dock has fan, bluetooth speakers, and nice seating .... so you should spend your time outside. House is well prepared so bring your beach towels, boating stuff, and relax [Nice upgrade over houses requiring sheets and inside towels.... just one more thing to pack]. Thanks Matt. Hope to be back next year.

Perfect Family Retreat
The Wee Blue Inn is simply awesome. The house if very clean, has all cooking utensils necessary, tranquil setting with a relaxing patio over looking the lake. Corn hole, kayaks, paddleboard, hammock, you name it, this place is great. We rented a boat for two days and the dock has a place to tie up away from where the kids were swimming on the other side. A lily pad tied to the dock to lay on gave the kids and parents a place to relax. Chairs on the dock were available, along with lights and a bluetooth speaker. The lake was calm with minimal traffic. Matt promptly responded during each step of the rental booking, check-in, check-out and damage deposit return. We are more than impressed and will definitely look to see if this property is available when we venture back to Lake Gaston.

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.
