This three-story lakefront cottage, called "Blue Heron," provides the ideal setting for family vacations. Recently renovated, painted and decorated, the house is located on a one-acre partially wooded lot, with a large backyard that slopes gently down to a bulkheaded shore with a double boathouse and large private dock for swimming, sunning, and boating. Water depth at the dock is 7-9 feet - all year long. Enjoy an idyllic cove for swimming, fishing, canoing, and kayaking, just off Great Creek with some of the best water-skiing on Lake Gaston. Or relax on the large deck and take in the peaceful lake view.
Blue Heron is ideal for one, two, or even three, families to vacation. The sleeping arrangements allow for three adult couples to have their own private bedroom and allow the kids to enjoy bunking together or separately. The multiple living spaces allow for varying interests and activity levels to be enjoyed all at the same time. Picture this real-life scenario: a group of adults and kids are playing an intense game of Scrabble on the main level, kids aged 8-14 are competing to win the latest Game Cube game downstairs, a few adults are sipping coffee and reading on the spacious deck, a teenager sleeps in late in a private bedroom upstairs, and a group of kids with endless energy are jumping off the dock and swimming in the safety of the cove!

The double boathouse and dock has one open covered boat slip (a second slip is used by the owners), plus spaces to tie up two additional boats, deep water, a covered bar, and a large dock for sunning. Bring a bucket of refreshments and a boom box down to the dock - it's always "five o'clock somewhere!" Hop in your boat and at the end of the cove is Great Creek - fantastic for hours of water skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, or tubing. The house is situated on Great Creek just minutes from the Holly Grove Marina and the main lake beyond - close enough to enjoy, but far enough that it doesn't interfere with the peace and safety of Great Creek! You will see an endless parade of wildlife off your dock - Great Blue Heron (the inspiration for the name of the home), egrets, Canadian geese, ducks, turtles, frogs, fish jumping, and if you're really lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the resident beaver!
