Wander Gaston Shores

The lakeside is a wonderful location for nature enthusiasts who enjoy watching wildlife from afar, though it may not be ideal for everyone. Ladybugs are delightful seasonal visitors to this home, typically appearing in larger numbers during October and November, adding a touch of nature’s charm. Their natural predator, the wasp, may also be present during this time — a normal part of the ecosystem’s balance. While measures are taken to mitigate the presence of these insects as much as possible, guests should understand that this home is surrounded by nature, and occasional visits from local wildlife are to be expected.

This home follows a strict maximum occupancy rule. Please make sure that the total number of guests accompanying you (including both children and adults) doesn’t exceed the indicated maximum occupancy above to avoid cancellation of your stay and additional fees.

Since the home offers direct lake access and a private dock, please take note of the following:
