Holiday houses in Drakes Branch

The place was amazing!!! Met up with my family from all over the country… we went there to spend New Year’s together and we had a wonderful time! The place was clean, new and in a perfect location! The living room and porch was spacious and inviting!!! be home layout made for a wonderful conversation and at the same time was a personalized and intimate setting!!! We enjoyed the fireplace next to the water… the TV was huge for the kids… Usually, I can find something that is out of place or not right but this place was perfect! On the second night, it rained, but even that was beautiful watching the water in the rain from the porch… So relaxing that I feel five years younger! Thank you, Thong for providing such a wonderful place to spend time to unwind!! Everything was perfect!

The pictures don’t do this place any justice!! This home was amazing tons of things to do even in November!!! And the VIEW WAS STUNNING FROM INSIDE AND ON EVERY DECK DID I MENTION IT WAS 4 DECKS TO SET AND WATCH THE WATER! My family was so happy with this home none of us wanted to leave! We will definitely be booking again… Thank You for allowing us to share your home….

Colby’s place was spacious and accommodating for our family’s lake house vacation. Super clean and comfortable and fully equipped with everything needed. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Great place, very clean, and kid friendly. I would absolutely recommend to someone.

We had a great time as a family of 6 (5 adults and 1 child), enjoying a Thanksgiving getaway on the lake. The house itself has tons of space, very comfortable, fast Wi-Fi, and matched the descriptions, but the real highlight was the amazing views of the lake and being able to walk down to the water and the dock. We also did some stargazing at night, and actually managed to spot the Milky Way on a particularly clear night, along with way more stars than you'd typically see just 70 miles from a major metro area like the triangle. Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet lakefront getaway.

Great location and views! We spend most of our time on the water so having the boathouse so close and hardly any steps was a huge plus! I like a lot of places in Lake Gaston. Very easy to go back and forth to the house (we are always forgetting things.) Huge bonus having a refrigerator on the dock. The house was beautiful, comfortable beds and linens, very large kitchen with plenty of room to cook. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the large deck. Great long weekend all around.

Quiet neighborhood and clean house

Ronald was a great host, communicative and attentive. The house was very clean and suited our family of six perfectly. We were there in late December and enjoyed the peace and quiet this time of year allows. We had rain for most of our stay, but the lake was beautiful at every time of day in all weather. We even read in the covered swings on the dock during the rain and loved hearing the rain fall on the roof and the lake. The house itself provided tons of a fun with ping pong, foosball, games, puzzles and the hot tub. We would have ventured out to some of the nearby hikes that Ronald mentioned if the weather had been dryer. We would love to visit again in the summer and experience the lake at that time of year too. Thank you, Ronald, for accommodating our family for a peaceful, quiet stay - it was just the R & R we were hoping for!

Our family enjoyed our too short of a stay over the thanksgiving holiday! This beautiful home provided all the essentials and space we needed to have a beautiful Thanksgiving feast to enjoy with family! The 2 ovens came in handy to heat our meal. We also had a short drive to enjoy hiking at the Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Would be a beautiful place to stay and visit in the warmer months as well.
