🎣 Welcome to Lakin' Reel Memories – Your Lake Gaston Getaway for Big Groups
Looking for a lake escape that blends rustic charm with modern comfort? You’ve just found it. Lakin' Reel Memories is where cozy meets spacious, fun meets relaxation, and memories are made reel fast. Formerly known as Rio’s Retreat, this 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom haven sleeps up to 21 guests and is tucked away on a private, wooded lot—perfect for family reunions, friendcations, or multi-generational get-togethers.
🛶 Life’s Better at the Lake
Step outside and dive into lake life! Your private dock (with ~4.5 ft water depth) is your launchpad for adventure. Paddle out on 4 kayaks and 2 stand-up paddleboards, cast a line, or just float and soak up the sun. As evening falls, ambient dock lighting sets the mood, and the underwater fish light adds a splash of magic, keep an eye out for “The Big One” gliding by!
Need a rinse after your aquatic escapades? The outdoor shower’s got you covered. Then gather around the firepit, roast marshmallows, and swap stories under the stars. Want to keep the fun going? The spacious yard is perfect for games and giggles.
🍳 Cook, Feast, Repeat
Inside, the fully stocked kitchen is a dream for chefs and snackers alike. The large island bar is the heart of the home—ideal for prepping meals, sipping coffee, or chatting over pancakes. Two big dining tables mean everyone gets a seat at the feast. Whether it’s game night or taco night, you’re set.
🎮 Game On, Rain or Shine
Downstairs is where the fun never stops. The lower level features:
A Legacy Stand up Arcade System loaded with classics
A snack bar with a full-size fridge (because gaming is hungry work)
A Smart TV for movie marathons
It’s the ultimate hangout zone—rainy days never stood a chance.

Lakin' Reel Memories

We had an amazing time during our stay. The views are beautiful and we had everything we needed. The kids had a great time with all the stocked board games and the arcade! Hosts really thought of everything, we couldn’t ask for better accommodations! We can’t wait to come back during the warmer months to enjoy everything else this Airbnb has to offer!!

Amazing House

We rented the Edbauer’s lake house for my husbands surprise birthday weekend- I can honestly say that this house was the perfect pick! Adam and his wife were so welcoming and flexible. Since this was a surprise birthday weekend, I was hoping to get there early to drop decorations off and thankfully - we were given the opportunity to do so! Not only is the house beautifully designed but its also spectacularly clean. They made our stay so smooth- we brought our son who is a toddler and thankfully didn’t have to worry about a pack n play or gates which as any parent knows is a plus (not having to pack extra). Everything from the baby gate to the fire pit and beautiful lake scenes- this stay was perfect. We can’t thank this family enough for opening their home to us with welcoming arms. We look forward to booking here again in the near future!

Husbands Birthday Celebrations!

We had a great weekend full of fun and family time. This place had so many rooms to separate families but also keep them kiddos close together in the bunk room for a big sleepover. The arcade-style Video game was a HUGE hit with the kids. The lake views and coffee bar were wonderful to wake up to. We even got to spend some time on the dock trying to catch some fish. The whole family had a blast. The place is kept well and we can’t wait to go back!

Family Fun!

The stay was amazing! The house was incredibly clean, had everything we could possibly need and was perfect for a large group. All guests of all ages thoroughly enjoyed!

Amazing!!!

We had a fabulous time on our weekend at the lake. We enjoyed the fireplace at night. The house was clean and well cared for. We plan on going back!!
