We just spent a week at Endless Sunrise on Lake Gaston and an amazing time was had by all (17 of us, ages 14 to 80)
John’s home is simply beautiful and allowed for everyone to be within earshot of each other or separated with quiet activities. The kitchen has tons of great cookware, casserole dishes, large cookie sheets, a knife block, great steak knives, serving utensils, dishes, glassware, a crockpot, Keurig, basket coffee maker, and a few colanders in different sizes.
We were worried about the size of the kitchen but serving was a breeze buffet style as you can setup so big families can move in a circle and then eat at one of 3 huge tables. Eating outside on the deck was so relaxing.
Showers had great water pressure at all times no matter how many were showering after swimming. The air conditioning was too good so we were able to turn the temperature up.
We had 20-30 year olds in the guest house and teens in the bunk room. The gazebo (which we used as a game room) was simply terrific. We had family members watching The Olympics at 4am without disturbing anyone in the two homes. We had late nighters playing cards and fun drinking games until all hours with no noise heard outside that room. John also has Bluetooth speakers in the gazebo which the teens loved.
The lake was beautiful and the kids enjoyed the trampoline in the water and the kayaks and paddle boards (all adult sized) and the 6 chaise lounge chairs. John’s pontoon boat is beautiful so if your reservation is a year out really consider it and get some experience. We waited too long to make that decision and regret it.
We hope to return in the future. In the words of my 76 year old mom, “The home is superb and the owner really has thought of everything.”
