Belle’s Buoy: Your Best Lake Gaston Vacation Ever

Belle's Buoy is wheelchair friendly! WIth the 1st floor having the kitchen, living room, several bedrooms, wide halls, and access to the deck, your loved one using a wheel chair or walker can enjoy all the fun. There is also a walkway to the boathouse instead of having to go through the grass (although that is still 1 flight of stairs down from the deck).

UPDATE - we just adjusted our rates for the rest of the peak summer and now you can enjoy this amazing lakefront home at roughly $100 a night discount! That's a $700 discount on a weekly stay. Don’t miss out. (prices have been updated and are compared against Vrbo recommended rates.)

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms surround a massive second living room where everyone can play pool, enjoy games, mix drinks at the wet bar, or keep the fun going late into the evening.

Fun From Morning Until Night

The covered porch offers outdoor tables and seating for meals, morning coffee, and beautiful lake-weather afternoons. On rainy days or after dark, head inside for a game of pool, board games, drinks at the wet bar, or a movie in one of the home’s two spacious living rooms.

Whether you are planning an action-packed lake adventure or a peaceful escape with the people you love, Belle’s Buoy gives you the space, amenities, and waterfront setting to make every moment special.

Come swim, paddle, fish, boat, laugh, relax, and reconnect.

About the host

Host profile image
We truly enjoy sharing our Lake Gaston home with families and friends looking to relax, reconnect, and make memories. Hosting gives us the chance to help others experience the same joy we feel here — from quiet mornings on Pretty Cove to sunset gatherings at the firepit. Nothing makes us happier than hearing guests say their kids didn’t want to leave or that they finally got the peaceful getaway they needed.
From the Raleigh Area We live in the Raleigh area, so Lake Gaston has always been our favorite close to home escape. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and calm — close enough for an easy drive, yet peaceful enough to feel like a true vacation. Sharing this special spot with others is one of the reasons we love hosting.

Why they chose this property

Pretty Cove offers the ideal Lake Gaston experience: peaceful water for relaxing and playing, with the main lake just minutes away for boating, fishing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and exploring. The cove’s calm 3½‑foot depth makes it a safe, enjoyable place for children to swim and float, while still deep enough to dock and launch pontoons, wave runners, speed boats, and jet boats right at the house.

Guests can enjoy the lake immediately with the lily pad, floats, kayaks, and paddle boat available at the dock. The covered boat house provides shaded seating, a bar area, and a refrigerator — perfect for spending the entire day by the water from sunrise to sunset. In the evenings, the firepit just steps away offers a cozy place to unwind.

An accessible walkway makes it easy for guests using walkers, wheelchairs, or wagons to reach the water comfortably, ensuring everyone can enjoy the lakefront.

What makes this property unique

Why This Home Is Different
This isn’t just a lake house — it’s a lakefront experience. With a fully outfitted boat house, safe shallow water for kids, deep water for boats, included water toys, sunset firepit, and an accessible walkway, this home is designed for families who want to spend every moment on the water. Pretty Cove gives you privacy, safety, and calm water, while the main lake is only minutes away.

🌿 Scenic & Relaxation‑Focused Version
What Makes This Home Special
Pretty Cove is one of Lake Gaston’s most peaceful hideaways. Gentle water, quiet surroundings, and a beautifully designed boat house create a serene retreat for families and friends. Whether you’re floating on the lily pad, sipping a drink at the boat‑house bar, or watching the sunset by the firepit, this home offers a level of calm and comfort that’s hard to find elsewhere.
