8 bedroom, 4.5 Bath Lake Front Home with Boathouse. Sleeps 18

Our home sits in a large, quiet cove just 100 yards off the Main Lake. With over 160' of decked bulk headed waterfront, a 1400 square foot double boat house with fish cleaning station and sunning dock. You have everything you need to enjoy the sun and fun outdoors including 2 kayaks, a paddle board, fishing poles and built in rod holder at the dock. Feel free to park your boat beside our boat house or inquire about our pontoon rental. The water at the dock is perfect for swimming, floating, and relaxing. Water level gradually deepens from 1-2 feet at the edge up to 4-5 foot water depth at the end of the dock, perfect for the little ones to play and learn to swim. We are ten minutes from the Food Lion & other amenities. It is a quick boat ride to the restaurants, marinas, Goat Island and the Eaton Ferry Bridge where the sunset views are amazing!
The summertime offers many activities in local towns such as movie nights and free concerts on the weekends in Littleton. This little town has a lot to offer with lots of small restaurants and businesses to check out!

The house offers a large yard in both the front and rear, perfect for outdoor games and evening bonfires in the fire pit (firewood is not provided). There is a large covered porch with plenty of seating that offers beautiful views, a TV and has a full outdoor bathroom on the lake side of the home. There's even a small seasonal herb garden to enjoy!
The first floor hosts the livingroom/dining area with seating for up to 20 people, as well as 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a half bath. The first bedroom is a queen with a half bath and the second bedroom has a king sized bed. There are 6 bedrooms on the second floor with 4 king beds, 4 twins and 1 double bed. All of the bedrooms have smart TV's. The game room is located on second floor which provides a Foosball table and Playstation 3 with games. There are also 2 additional full bathrooms upstairs.

Frost family vacation.
Really awesome. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 8 kids ages 5-11. We loved the location in the cove, the kids were able to enjoy the kayak’s, paddle boards, swimming, and fishing off the dock. My daughter caught an 11.5 catfish. Alan was amazing and very punctual with responding to my questions. We can’t wait to come back again.

Family Time
We all enjoyed this house. It had everything you wanted (spices, ice maker, every kitchen appliance you can imagine) Bedrooms were clean, cool and a breathtaking view. The Lake was perfect for the little kids as well as the adults. Plenty of boats and floating devices for the family. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed at. Plenty of bathrooms and linens for all of us, the laundry room is beautiful as well. I used Sand Dollar Seaplane to take my granddaughters on their first plane ride and they loved it. Steve the pilot picked us up from our dock. This place was AMAZING

Family get together
This is a great place for a family get together. Plenty of space to gather together. Also, plenty of space if you want some time to yourself. We have already decided that we will stay there again next year for our get together. Property owner is in communication with you before, during, and after the stay to ensure you do not have any issues.

Perfect for our friends
I can say all the usual nice things about the property. It was clean with lots of natural light. The kitchen was easy to work in and nicely laid out with all of the tools and utensils we could hope for. The back porch had plenty of seating and cushions and a lovely view of the water. Truly a beautiful property and the hosts were easy to get in contact with if we had needed. I tend to point out disability access in my reviews because our friend group has different levels of mobility. There were no stairs at all to get into the property, the front porch is flush with the driveway and the threshold of the front door. There are some minor surface changes on the first floor, but not too bad an easy to manage. You really wouldn't be able to use a wheelchair into any of the bathrooms, the one that would have enough space in it has a tricky little hallway to get to it, but if you could transfer using a couple wall supposted steps, you would probably be fine having a wheelchair user in this home. My only concern is that the beds are all fairly high up. Not in a weird way or anything, just on the higher end of normal and to the point where we have a couple of (short and/or mobility impaired) people who would consider bringing a small step stool or something for next time. One of them just stepped up onto her hard shell suitcase this time to get on and off her bed. We loved the property and would recommend it to anyone who was considering the area

Amazing property!
2 families vacationing for 3 years together on Lake Gaston, different house each year and THIS is the winning house! We will be coming back again in 2024. Well-stocked and updated Kitchen (with granite countertops you’ll covet!), ample living area and large TV for movie nights. Enough beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms, and ALL are tastefully decorated and comfortable. Large dock area for hanging out and swimming. Very nice fire pit next to lake area with plenty of seating. And Veranda for morning coffees also with plenty of seating. It was a delightful stay. The owner, Alan, was very helpful and incredibly responsive. Unanimous 5-Star stay from 10 adults, which is rare.

Wonderful House
Had a wonderful time. House is great; fit our large group of 14 very well. New kitchen with 2 refrigerators, large pantry, separate ice machine and very well equipped. Dining table seats 20 and is great. Lake was wonderful. One side of boat house is dedicated to fishing, the other has a dock the kids loved jumping off while the adults floated as well as a seating area. Swim shoes are a must for the shallow area. Pontoon boat was a great add-on. Would highly recommend this house. Owner was also great to deal with.

This property was nothing less than amazing. The homeowner was the best I have ever encountered. He responds promptly, he was very attentive and accommodating the entire stay, his home was prepared with Xmas decorations and a tree. The home had a full kitchen of appliances, blankets, beds, cleaning supplies, etc. All I can say is this home met every expectation we had. If you have never stayed in this home you are missing out. My family and I will definitely be back to enjoy the summer festivities 2023 because we could not enjoy the outdoor activities and lake due to the weather. Thank you for having us

Perfect getaway
For years we went to OBX. This year we decided we were going to give #lakelife a try and man did it ever exceed our expectations. This house has everything you need and then some. Most importantly it has the space for our large family to be together but not on top of each other. The huge dining room table is an amazing feature. We were able to fit our entire crew of 16 all at once for each meal - very cool. The back deck is the perfect place to go chill out after a meal or while sipping coffee in the morning. The dock is incredible and is where we spent most of our time. The water amenities (kayaks, paddle board, paddle boat, noodles, floats, etc) are a huge plus as it gave everyone something extra to do. We brought our own floating mat and I highly recommend that to anyone with kids because they will stay entertained on it for hours. We hit the local putt putt golf and ice cream shop and both were great. We got take out twice and the food was delicious. The fire pit is where we ended every night and is the perfect chill spot to wind the evening down. The ice maker is an amazing addition because it saved us from having to make daily ice runs. Alan is a wonderful host. He was super responsive and very helpful. We met him and his wife as we were finishing packing up and they could not have been more pleasant. The neighbors beside them are also very nice and a joy to talk to when we saw them. All-in-all I give it a 10/10, would recommend to anyone but especially those with larger families and already looking forward to re-booking for next year! Thank you Alan!

What a great week. We've been staying at Gaston and other lakes for about 11 years now and this was probably our favorite house. (OK, maybe a top deck to jump off of would have been the cherry on top but beggars can't be choosers). Great space, kitchen well stocked, tons of place to store things - no downside AT ALL to this property.

Perfect Family Getaway
We decided this year to celebrate our son’s graduation with a week long lake house getaway! I am so glad we did! We had a wonderful time! The house was beautiful and clean, it had everything we needed. One of my favorite features was the lighting along the walls in the dining/living room! I would turn off the main lights and leave those lights on at night and it looked like it was straight out of a hallmark movie!! The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to messages! The neighbors were very friendly, we enjoyed our chats! We were able to get fire wood from the neighbors, so we could enjoy some s’mores and family stories around the fire which was one of my favorite memories from our trip! We borrowed my uncles boat for the trip but, ended up buying a boat while we were there! We stayed on the lake most of the time and enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and skiing! We had a wonderful time making precious memories!! We are definitely wanting to go back!! Everyone agrees this was the best vacation! Thank you so much Alan for sharing your home with us we are looking forward to 2022!!
