You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake Gaston waterfront home where lifelong memories are made!

The Inn at Raintree is tucked among the trees on Lake Gaston. The moment you arrive, you will feel right at home. The spacious six-bedroom, four-bathroom lake home has an open-concept floor plan. All rooms are tastefully designed. Our top concern is the comfort of our guests.. Friends and family have room to relax and enjoy the lake life. A big screened porch and glass doors offer sparkling views of the sun on the water. Bird songs serenade you each morning as you sample our delicious free coffee.

The fully equipped kitchen is ready to serve your hungry crew at two large tables. For an outdoor taste, fire up one of our gas or charcoal grills. On the stone patio, roast marshmallows around the fire pit or relax by a roaring fire under the starry night sky.

The fun never stops in our game room. Challenge your friends and family to a game of foosball, shuffleboard or bowling. Enjoy a game of ping pong or corn hole. If you’re in the mood for fast action, try your hand at our new X-Box-X video game system. Enjoy one of our superb Blu-ray movies. View Direct TV shows in every room. Classic board games and card games are available for players that want to return to game basics..

Down by the water, you’ll find a private dock and boat house full of toys. The dock is the perfect spot to soak up sun. For active fun, grab a kayak, hop on a board, or flop on an inflatable raft. Drift aimlessly near the dock and you will feel your worries just float away.

My pontoon boat is available at no charge during your stay . A favorite activity is towing friends on big canvas floats behind the boat. A 100% refundable boat damage deposit is required at least 30 days before you arrive. Contact me directly to use the boat. . Maybe you want to bring your own boat. Our boathouse has an open slip available to you at no cost. Vessels can be rented from lake vendors and delivered to our boathouse. Our boathouse has boat power lifts. Your jet ski rentals can be parked on two small lifts .

A rental house that felt like home from beginning to end
From initial emails to final goodbyes, Steven was a fantastic host, and his beautiful lakefront home did not disappoint. He let us know up front what to expect, the resources and services around town available to us, and how to access every ounce of fun available to my family. We enjoyed days in the lake, reading on the dock, playing on the wide variety of floats and water toys, or just afternoons hanging inside. There were 11 of us (5 boys from 1.5 - 12 y.o. and 6 adults from 37-74!), and no one felt overcrowded. From the porches to firepit to the screened in dining space to the game room to the docks, there was always something to do or space to relax and do nothing. We made fantastic memories. I highly recommend staying at the Inn at Raintree!

Great week
Our family enjoyed our stay at Inn at Raintree, despite Hurricane Debby’s best attempts to rain us out. We spent a great deal of time at the dock enjoying the lake. Steve provides a nice assortment of water toys, kayaks, canoes and a paddleboard. The family enjoyed game nights on the screened porch. Steve is a wonderful, responsive host.

A great place for a big family. The house was not super clean on check in and oddly the beds had not been made. Minor stuff overall and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

The Inn at Rain Tree Rocks
This was my first VRBO rental. I was so happy with the process. Our host was very kind and was in contact throughout the process. The house was more than what we imagined it would be. On the lake with the extended family with plenty of room to spare. Bottom line: This property was exactly as advertised. Highly recommend!! Lastly, I asked if my family wanted to come back, they answered "ABSOLUTELY". Enough said..

Incredible Family Vacation
This had to be the most relaxing family vacation we have ever taken! The house was wonderful and fit all of our needs. Having the ability to have the boat for the week made our trip even more memorable. Steve was a great host and very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend! and hope to make it back again!

Family vacation
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Inn At Raintree. We spent a majority of our time at the dock and in the lake. The area is a great place for tubing with the kids. Dock is a great place to gather as is the screened-in porch. The living area is comfy and held our group for game nights. Steve was a wonderful, responsive host. Our family hopes to return next year.

Excellent lake house
We had a wonderful time at the lake. The house was spacious, nicely appointed and very clean. Bill was a great host - very responsive and helpful. We rented a boat with the house and the kids had a great time water-skiing. I would highly recommend this property.

Lake Vacation
Our family of 14 ages 3 years old to 64 years old had a great time at the Inn at Raintree. Plenty of room for everyone. Kids loved the downstairs game room. A few updates are needed i.e new kitchen faucet and grill. Nothing that hampered our stay.

This property was beyond clean. We felt very welcomed by Bill and he went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We loved that the home is located in a great ski/surf/wakeboard cove and not far off the main lake. We couldn't have asked for a better VRBO experiance.

Wonderful stay at the Inn at Raintree
We had a wonderful week at this beautifully decorated home. There were eight of us from 79 to 12 years of age. the six bedroom house will sleep 18. We were looking for a place on Lake Gastan with easy access to the water with a big dock, and large home for all of us to have some privacy and room for games and reading. (don't remember to much reading but I do remember our 4 grand kids having a super time. The bottom floor of the house was a great place for the kids to play games and for us to watch James Bond movies at night. From there easy access to the water with not steps. Kitchen, dinning and three bedrooms on the main level were all great. Finally we were able to rent the owner's pontoon boat for the week along with water toys like a big rubber pull behind and water skies. Of course they were a hit for the kids.

Great experience
This is our 4th time at Lake Gaston, renting a home. The property is located on a great cove for boating and swimming. 13 min drive to Food Lion and Hardware store. The home is super clean and is a great size for large groups. The boat house was a delight with plenty of space. Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards with all the accessories. Bill was very communicative and available if we needed anything or had questions. We rented the pontoon boat which was super nice with a 3 person tube and tow rope. We brought our own jetski and they were docked easily. We will definitely be back.
