What makes Summer Place different than the other rental homes on Lake Gaston?

For several years we owned & managed dozens of beautiful homes on Lake Gaston. We successfully sold that business because it was simply too frustrating to have home owners not invest in their own home for the satisfaction of our guests. We now only own and operate the "MacDaddy" home on Lake Gaston and rent out Summer Place on a limited basis.

The Daltorio's are a family of 7 who enjoy making memories at the lake. We originally built our home just for our family. Then, we started offering our home for rent when we weren't able to use it due the activities of five kids. Our family continues to grow with one daughter-in-law, two grandsons, two granddaughters and a new fiancé added into the family! We're glad others have the chance to enjoy it when we cannot!

In light of recent events, we recommend travel insurance for all reservations.  Please check your policy for coverage details.  Travel insurance is offered during the booking process.

Please note that you will be required to fill out a separate rental agreement, provide a credit card, photo ID, and proof of a boater safety course for the use of our boat as well.  The boat is under a separate entity which requires separate documents, and that paperwork will be sent after the house booking is made.
