Welcome to Serenity Pines Retreat! Bring your favorite people and let the lake do the rest. Whether you're gathering with family, friends, a corporate team, or a nonprofit retreat, we offer the perfect setting to reconnect, recharge, and enjoy the best of Lake Gaston. From early morning coffee on the dock to sunset games on your very own private pickleball court, Serenity Pines Retreat invites you to gather together and savor everything that makes lake life so special. Beautifully decorated and expertly engineered, this retreat is all about wellness, connection, comfort, and plenty of room to relax and play.
With over 5,000 square feet of open, light-filled living space, the home features 6 spacious bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, including four King Suites - two with private decks and two on the main floor for easy accessibility. A private office space, cozy reading nooks, and a convenient mudroom and two washer/ dryer sets offer function without sacrificing style. Each bedroom is spacious and thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and relaxation after a day on the lake.
This home is consciously created with wellness in mind, featuring an advanced EMF management system that allows you to shut off power to each bedroom for a more restorative night of sleep. The space offers a lower-EMF environment for those seeking a more restorative, grounded experience—ideal for deep sleep, relaxation, and overall peace of mind.
At the heart of it all is a gourmet kitchen built for feeding a crowd, complete with two full-size refrigerators, two dishwashers, a glassware dishwasher, and a large island perfect for snacks, prep, and casual conversation. The oversized dining table is where stories are shared, games are played, and meals become memories.
An inviting waterside screened porch is the perfect all-season experience. Outfitted with a remote-control screen, you can easily open up to create more open space or close things off for a cozy evening. A flat-screen TV and a beautiful fireplace make it an ideal spot for movie nights, game day gatherings, or simply unwinding with a view of the water. Whether you're sharing stories with loved ones or savoring the quiet moments after a day on the water, this space brings luxury and lake life together seamlessly.
Follow the charming stepping stone path as it winds through the yard, leading you straight to the boathouse for endless lakeside adventures--the ultimate hub for lakeside fun, featuring both an upper and lower deck to soak in the views and sunshine. Flat, level access to the dock makes it easy for guests of all ages. With plenty of comfortable seating, it's perfect for lounging with a good book or gathering with family and friends. The 10-foot water depth allows for safe swimming, easy kayaking, and fantastic fishing right from the dock. Whether you’re casting a line, launching a kayak, or jumping in for a swim, this boathouse delivers the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. Rinse off after a day on the lake in the convenient outdoor shower, perfect for washing away the lake adventures before heading inside.
Enjoy some friendly competition on your very own private pickleball court—just steps from the lake! Whether you're a seasoned player or trying it for the first time, this fun and fast-paced game is a great way to stay active and make memories with family and friends.
When it’s time to venture out, you’re just minutes from Littleton, where you’ll find grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, and even a local brewery. At Serenity Pines Retreat, you’ll find more than a vacation—you’ll make memories that last a lifetime!

A few more tid-bits... :)
Septic System: The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system. This system is a finely balanced biological system. Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper. Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.
Navigating the Lake: Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds to ensure adequate depth in all coves. Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boat.(make sure to bring your bumpers!). Be sure to lower your bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts. Appearances can be deceiving!
Security Camera Disclosure: We take your privacy very seriously. However, this home is monitored by exterior security cameras. The cameras do not record sound.
***Camera Locations: Dock, front door, front of house - 3 angles, front side door, backyard - 3 angles, side yard
Trash: Please bag all trash and place it in the outdoor receptacles for pickup. We also provide concierge trash service, which means that if you have an overflow issue during your stay, we will pick-up the excess trash! Just give us a call or text.
Parking: Please park only on gravel to avoid damaging sprinkler heads in grass. Please do not park on the septic field which is the grassy area to the front & right of the house as you pull in. Do not block access for trash truck and landscaping trucks..
Boat Trailers: All boat trailers should be parked to the left of the house just past the driveway. Please park trailers in this designated area only.
Life Jackets: Guests are asked to bring their own life jackets to ensure safety and proper fit for everyone.
Boathouse: Quick note here for our boaters...the lifts are NOT available, but you can tie off at the dock. Water depth at the end of the dock is approximately 10 ft. deep.
