Perfect Spot for a Family Gathering

Our family absolutely loved staying at this property! It was spacious, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for a large group. The lakefront view, game room, and outdoor deck was a highlight, providing a relaxing and fun space for everyone to gather. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals for the entire group. The hosts were fantastic, responsive, and ensured our stay was seamless. This property truly helped make our family gathering special, and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you!

Well equipped, comfortable, and specious

The house was a bit low on paper towels and toilet paper when we arrived, but was otherwise very well equipped. Brian was very proactive and responsive, offering to have the handyman swing by with paper products and--when my daughter lost her new earrings at the property--drove from Raleigh himself to search for them.

Above and Beyond

The house was "as advertised"! Great accommodations and amenities inside and out. We had an extended family long weekend at Gaston and couldn't have been happier with the quality of stay. But, also, the communication between the owners, Brian and Anne, was incredible. Due to some circumstances completely out of their control, the house might possibly not be available for the dates we booked. They were able to come up with plan B options for us just in case. As it was, all problems were fixed and we were able to enjoy their beautiful home. I would highly recommend not only for the accommodations but also because of the attentiveness of the owners of this property. We hope to make a return trip sometime in the not so distant future!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time and the owners were very responsive and accommodating. It was two families of 4 (2 adults & 2 kiddos) and it was plenty of room. The cove was perfect for younger kiddos. It was a great retreat for two fireman and their families.

Peaceful and well appointed lake house!

We really enjoyed our girls trip to the lake house in October. We had beautiful weather and the house was spacious and amazing, yet cozy too. Our hardest decision was figuring out which of the great seating options to hang out at! The kitchen was well appointed and spacious. We especially appreciated the family friendly amenities for our infant son, including a high chair and bath insert. Couple of minor heads up- wifi was a bit spotty, and note upon departure that you'll have to bring trash off property. Communcating with Anne was amazing and she was incredibly quick to respond (and kindly!). Highly recommend this peaceful place on the water.

Empty nesters

One of the best properties I have ever stayed in. We had 8 adults and had more than enough room. The fire pit and hot tub were fabulous and the lake toys, paddle boards, kayaks, life vests, floats, you name it the house had it. The house over all was stocked with everything you could need. The only thing was our food and the hosts were fantastic! Very responsive with any questions we had. I highly recommend and would go back if visiting Lake Gaston

This house had everything you need for a fantastic weekend. Stayed with 12 guys and we were all comfortable. Plenty of space, plenty of room for activities, great dock and outdoor space. The lake was beautiful and it was a treat to use the kayaks and paddle boards. Would highly recommend this to any group of friends or family gatherings.

Amazing place with owners that care

The best place we have stayed as a family hands down. Kids and adults had a blast on the water and the owners did so many special touches. From leaving my daughter a happy birthday basket to setting up the hammock and fire pit for us. Kids are already asking when we are going back. We couldn’t have been happier.

Fabulous well-stocked home!

Beautiful home and well-stocked. We had eight in our group and had plenty to do with all the board games and ping-pong and kayaks. We had nightly fires at the beautiful fire pit. The layout of the house was perfect for us--areas for quiet reading while another group is watching a movie, privacy of the bedrooms, etc. The hot tub was a great finish to the day. The hosts were responsive and flexible with our check-in and check-out (helps that we stayed in off-peak season!). Highly recommend!

Lake Gaston-Old Ferry Estates

We hosted and enjoyed a long, late summer weekend family get together at Old Ferry Estates. The 2 story home was just as described with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and two well equipped kitchens (upstairs and downstairs). Parking was ample with hard surface driveway and parking available in front of home. It had been 25 years since I had visited Lake Gaston and I was surprised at the growth and development of large vacation homes. This beautiful home was located on a quiet cove and had a two level dock with plenty of tables and seating for sun bathing or having cocktails. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, water play mat, fire pit and hot tub. The dock house had inflatables and life jackets for children and adults. The home was beautiful, well equipped and spacious. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Spacious and Beautiful lakefront home

My family of 7 adults spent 3 nights at this lovely lake house for an 80th birthday celebration for my mom. We loved it! The house was very clean, beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations, and had large bedrooms and gathering areas. We enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, paddle boards and sitting on the large dock together. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals for everyone. Communication with the owners was easy and I always received a quick response to any question. We would love to stay here again!

Quick get away

This property was exactly as shown on VRBO. The house was clean, very spacious and had a beautiful view of the lake. It was nice to sit on the deck and still be able to watch those at the boat house. The open deck over the boat house was lovely with plenty of chairs and tables. The kitchen had all the essentials, the house had a great floor plan, and the homeowners could not have been any more accommodating and nice! You will love this property!

Beautiful Lakeside Retreat

Our large multigenerational family stayed here over the New Year and enjoyed every second of our time. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures and Brian and Ann were very welcoming and helpful. The house was stocked very well, there were enough plates/cups/silverware for everyone and every appliance and utensil you may need. The multi-level home was perfect for the whole family whether you needed some peace and quiet away from the crowd or wanted to gather together. There were plenty of things for everyone of all ages to do! The hosts were very friendly and communicative. Well before our arrival they helped us by answering any and all questions we had about the area and anything we may have wanted to see or do. They were available at all times and replied quickly to texts and messages! Thank you Brian and Ann for a great trip!
