5 Bedroom House in Henrico

Welcome to "The Good Life!" THIS IS A VACATION DREAM! Conveniently located, spacious lakefront home with level lot, mature trees and small private beach in popular Pea Hill Creek on the Northeast quadrant of Lake Gaston. This 2-level, pet friendly home is designed with families in mind and is the perfect location for annual family reunions or vacations! Come visit "The Good Life" and see what lakefront vacations are all about!
THE OUTSIDE DETAILS:
Let’s face it. You don’t come to Lake Gaston for the house… you come for the setting and all that the lake has to offer! Whether you want to relax or play, this property has everything you need! For those of you who want to relax, come enjoy the beautiful view of the lake from the Adirondack chairs on the dock, sway in the hammock under the trees, or swing in one of the double swings on the small, private beach.
The swimming area is protected from the hustle and bustle of the main lake and is the perfect place for swimming and boating. The water is shallow near the edge of the property for younger children to stand in and swim. The water level is 3-4 ft near the dock and gets deeper as you head toward the main lake. We have two paddle boards, six kayaks (five singles and one double) and a pedal boat for our guests to enjoy. We have multiple “old school” orange life jackets, but please bring your own if possible. There are lots of areas to safely explore by kayak or paddle board, including a little island called "Halley Rock." If you decide to rent a boat (or bring your own), we have a boat dock that you can dock up to. And for all of you who love to fish - Pea Hill Creek (and Lake Gaston in general) offers some of the best fishing in the state!
The yard is certainly worth mentioning as it truly feels like a special place. The large, mature trees provide ample shade and respite from the sun. We have an outdoor shower, picnic table, corn hole, a horseshoe pit, a fire pit and a big field for yard games! Feel free to bring your own games! We also have a large, gas grill outside for grilling.
This is truly one of the best coves on the lake! The main lake is just a few minutes away by boat. The Pea Hill Creek boat ramp is less than 2 miles away, as is the Lake Gaston Golf Course! One of the best things about Lake Gaston is that it’s in a beautiful, quiet, charming, rural area. There are no big box stores here! Our home is conveniently located with access to local restaurants, the Food Lion, an ice cream shop, mini golf, multiple marinas, boat rentals, bait shops, gas stations and more.
THE HOUSE DETAILS…
MAIN FLOOR: The main floor has an open floor plan and is a perfect space for entertaining large groups! There is a fully stocked kitchen and huge dining table that seats 10 comfortably. There are three additional seats at the counter. The kitchen is loaded with dishes, cutlery, pots, pans, bakeware, serving trays, bowls, storage containers, strainers, pitchers, drinkware, etc. There are also tons of “extras,” including a microwave, crock pot, blender, toaster, Keurig, a drip coffee pot, tea kettle, mixer, meat slicer, etc. ***Wondering if a particular item is available in the kitchen? Please message me for clarification.
The spacious family room offers comfortable seating and a large 55” TV.. The family room and kitchen open out to the huge upper deck with lots of comfortable seating and great views of the lake and backyard! On this one deck alone, there are three seating areas: sink into the comfortable chairs in the covered deck area with ceiling fan, do some bird watching from the rocking chairs under the canopy of the trees, or enjoy a meal on the small outdoor table! We regularly see a pair of bald eagles and flying squirrels from the back deck; it's incredible! There is also a lower deck that offers another great area for enjoying the beautiful outdoors with additional comfortable patio seating, providing you with multiple areas to spend time with your family and friends.
Back to the main level… There are three bedrooms upstairs: one master bedroom with a king-sized bed and private bath, one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and one bedroom with two twins. There is a hall bathroom on this level with a tub/shower combo. All bedrooms have smart TV’s, alarm clocks, dressers and spacious closets.
LOWER LEVEL: The lower level is stocked with entertainment. There is an 8’ Olhausen pool table, a foosball table, tons of games and puzzles, a large TV for movies or watching the game, and multiple areas for relaxing. The lower level has two bedrooms: one with a king-sized bed and the other with two bunk beds (one double and three twins); there is also a pull out sofa in the main area. There is a full bath with a tub/shower combination. There is also a laundry room on this level with a full-sized washer and dryer for your use.
WHAT MAKES THIS PROPERTY UNIQUE? This house does not feel like a rental property… it feels like home. The furnishings are high quality, the beds are extremely comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked… All you have to do is walk in the door and you have all you need to be able to relax and enjoy your lakefront vacation. We treat our guests like friends and are always available if you have questions or concerns. We have confidence that you will love this home as much as we do!

Summary: From the moment we first walked into the front door, it felt like home - we felt so comfortable here! We had a blast out on the lake with the kayaks, paddle boat and paddle boards (though the paddle boat rudder handle could use some fixing). We sat out by the fire pit every night. The downstairs game area was used quite a lot, and all of the games were in perfect working order. Our dog also had the time of her life. Thank you, Holly, for allowing us such an amazing experience in your gorgeous home!

Summary: This was our second visit to this incredible lake house, and it was just as wonderful as our first. Returning to this lovely home felt like coming back to a cherished family retreat. The panoramic lake views from the deck are absolutely mesmerizing, and the house is impeccably clean and welcoming. The hosts have truly created a haven here, with thoughtful touches throughout, from the well-stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds. We enjoyed every moment, from early morning coffee on the porch to stargazing at night. It's the perfect spot for both adventure and relaxation. It fits our family of 8 beautifully with young grandchildren. Holly is so accommodating and responds very quickly. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful, rejuvenating escape!

Summary: Beautiful house in Pea Creek that has everything for all ages. The backyard is covered by gorgeous old trees providing shade on a hot summer day. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and fishing right off the dock. Cornhole and horseshoes were a blast. Easy access to the main lake but very quiet tucked into Pea Creek. Pool and games were the highlight at night. There are plenty of tv's but we never turned them on. Holly is quick to respond and made everything very easy.

Summary: We loved that this property was on the water and with plenty of kayaks, paddleboards, paddleboat to let the kids have fun in the cove. The home was immaculate and was very comfortable for our group of 10. The owner's communication was as best as could be - quick to respond and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to make several big italian feasts. Bottom line: we loved our stay and would visit again!

Summary: Just finished the most wonderful family vacation at The Good Life! Our hosts were so receptive to any questions we had, and answered immediately. The property is lovely! A flat close walk to the lake, which we all appreciated, and was especially nice because we had a 3 month old baby. Situated in a quiet cove, where swimming and kayaking were so enjoyed. The house has all the kayaks you would need and the dock has a space for you to rent a boat which we did. The house itself was perfect for all of us. Very well equipped and the downstairs pool table and foos ball table were great for evening activities. Many decks for lounging and reading. None of us ever felt we all did not have our own space. We highly recommend this property for your vacation on Lake Gaston. You will not be disappointed! Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks, Jeff and Sarah

Summary: The house is in a great location, the hosts were extremely responsive, and there were plenty of things at the house to keep our group of 9 teenagers and 2 adults happy and enjoying the lake experience! The host sent a charming and helpful welcome email 3 days prior to our arrival. We were a bit surprised to read that we needed to bring our own bath towels and make the beds when we arrived. Otherwise, the fire pit, dock, kayaks and paddle boards, and well-stocked kitchen were all very nice and appreciated.

Summary: My husband was able to spend quality time with his adult sons and their spouses to celebrate Father's Day, reminisce about growing up, and make new memories. We all kayaked, grilled, and sat on the dock to watch the stars come out. Couldn't have been better.
