Since 2016 I started getting my family together in December to have a Christmas gathering. We eat, play games, watch movies and so on. Well this is the second year we’ve done it at Mr. Edie’s home and it was as beautiful this time as it was the first! The pictures don’t do justice of how nice & clean the home is! I wish I had gotten more pics of the home.
This place had a lot to do. Kayaks included was amazing, pool table and ping pong. Had plenty to do even though it was winter. Looks like an amazing place for a summer vacation.
We love staying here! Ample space for our group, we love the fire pit and fishing of the dock. The kitchen is well stocked, we make all our meals here and haven't found that we needed anything. Great communication with host. Looking forward to staying again!
Floatin and Boatin is one of the nicest properties we have ever vacation at as a family. The owners are very quick to respond and they make sure you have the best vacation experience. 5 stars for sure.
We travel widely in the US and elsewhere. This location among the best. Owner extremely professional and accommodating. Location perfect for a family retreat. Will return as many years as we can.
3 families stayed here together for the thanksgiving holiday! Plenty of space for all, Great Lake access, kayaks were fun, stocked kitchen, fire pit and plenty of wood. Very memorable stay! Beautiful house. Edie was fantastic, great communication leading up to and throughout the stay.
Had a great visit to floating and boating. Edie's house has it all. We fished, rented a boat at the nearby marina, had a few fires, and relaxed. Will definitely come back in the future.
This home is one of the finest. 5 star accommodations for sure. The owners are very quick to reply to any questions or concerns you have. A very relaxing vacation property. We have already booked it again for next year.
We had an absolutely perfect stay at the lake house! Everything was exactly as described, and it comfortably accommodated all 16 of us, ranging in age from 8 to 72. The house had all the amenities we needed, and the views were stunning. Edie, the owner, was super helpful and incredibly responsive throughout our stay, making sure everything was just right. It was a wonderful time for everyone, and we can't wait to come back!
Our family was very happy we chose this house and this lake! It was a beautiful setting, a wonderful house. The organization of the entire house all labeled no questions and place for everything! All our families needs were met, games, books, water sports etc.
Beautiful home, beautiful view !
Couldn’t find a better place on Lake Gaston than Floatin’ and Boatin’ !!!
Dream vacation home !!!
Thanks for sharing your home with us !
And Edie is awesome to work with !
Beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and generously stocked. Floatin' and Boatin' is a wonderful place for making family memories. Tons to do and plenty of room to do it in. The owners are easy to contact, responsive, and proactive. The entire process from start to finish was flawless. Can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to go back!
15 ladies enjoyed a wonderful long girls weekend at Floatin and Boatin. The kitchen is well stocked, there was plenty of space indoors and outdoors for relaxing and lots of laughter. Just minutes to Rosemont Winery and Shady Shack. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.
My old friend group from school all got together for a time to reconnect here this past weekend. And this house was amazing! They had everything, and all of it was super clean. The owners are great, and made sure we were taken care of. They have everything you could think of! Paddle boards, kayaks, pool table, ping pong, rain shower head, etc. This place was great! Will be looking forward to our next trip here!
I was hesitant on leaving a review out of fear that it may be booked and I won’t have the opportunity to vacation here again LOL. This place was perfect! Very accommodating for me and my family. The Host was perfect and very welcoming. This house was spacious and had plenty of activities to do. A 10/10!!
Excellent!! Place worked great for our whole family. Grandkids spent a lot of time on the floating mat or the Big Bubba we rented. Having kayaks and stand up paddle boards was a treat. The house had so many things inside for entertainment as well. Edie was great at communicating and a pleasure to deal with.
We have vacationed in Lake Gaston for 5 years. We absolutely love this area and the beautiful lake. However, this was our first year at ‘Floating and Boatin’, and it beyond surpassed our expectations. The home is so beautiful. The views of the lake make mornings on the porch heavenly, and the dock with its many toys impressed all of us from age 4 to age 76! I could go on forever…By far one of my favorite stays at Lake Gaston. Thank you Edie and Steve for a wonderful core memory vacation.
Nothing negative. It was well kept, very spacious, with lots of light. There was plenty of activities throughout the house for people to do, and everything was neatly labeled. The deck had a gorgeous view and was overall a very relaxing and nice stay. The dock was clean as well as the kayaks and paddleboards.
Second time back to floating and boating even better than the first time. This place has it all from the view to the house you can not go wrong with this property. The host Edie, is the best her response to any questions any issues is second to none. My family is already talking about the next trip back. Thanks Edie for your hospitality.
This lake house has it all!! We stayed during a range of temperatures (33-60) and we never got bored. It is spacious, cozy, and set-up well. The only thing I would say is make sure you are not planning on finding a ton of this to do around the area. The Winery- The Rosemont- is beautiful and there is a bakery-BJ’s- that has UHmazing cakes, pies, and cinnamon rollsCan’t wait to come back.
This was a 30th birthday present for my daughter and a surprise for her. We had our core group of friends come for a long weekend and it was wonderful! Kitchen was stocked over expectations and the beds were comfortable which is the best thing! We will definitely plan another trip in the summer, to enjoy all the water fun.
