Our family of 11 ages 2-70 had a great time at the Oasis at Lake Gaston. The property pictures and description were spot on. It was decorated beautifully and the owner had thought of every detail for your stay. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, cooking utensils, cutting boards, dishes etc. There were extra refrigerators in the garage for your food storage and even items such as paper plates, napkins, paper towels and coffee for the keurig to name a few. The home itself was laid out so you could all be together either on the main or lower levels. We enjoyed the lower level which had a nice bar set up, game and TV area. We rented the pontoon boat which was wonderful we were able to go out each day to just take a relaxing ride or you could use the ZUP board or towable float. There were also kayaks, canoe and paddle boards to use. The property is located in small cove so you could fish or use these items right off of the dock. The outdoor area was well organized there were gates on the upper deck and walkway to enter the dock area which was nice when you had smaller children. The area above the dock was nice to use to enjoy a morning coffee or to watch the sunset in the evening. The swing on the upper deck was relaxing at any time of the day. The pool area worked well for kids there were a lot of inflatable items and plenty of towels were supplied. You could also use the outdoor fireplace, firepit, green egg and grill. Bill Heather and Bonnie were great to work with
