About this property

Castaways | Spectacular Views | Boat Ramp | Pet-Friendly (Fee)

  • Welcome to Castaways where every sunrise over Lake Gaston feels like a personal invitation to relax explore and create lasting memories. This pet-friendly retreat combines the beauty of lakeside living with the comforts of home offering five bedrooms and four full bathrooms making it the perfect getaway for families friends and even your furry companions.

    Step outside and let the lake set the tone for your adventure. Mornings are magical best enjoyed with coffee in hand on the dock as the rising sun paints the water in golden hues. The waterfront at Castaways is designed for everyone to enjoy with a perfect blend of accessibility and adventure. The zero-entry area provides gentle access to the water just 45 paces from the back door with no stairs from the house (dock is wheelchair accessible) making it ideal for kids pets and anyone looking to wade in with ease. Whether you're dipping your toes in for a refreshing cool-down or launching one of the included kayaks or paddleboards this area is a gateway to endless lake fun. For those who love to fish the dock offers a prime spot with water depths of 5-6 feet perfect for casting a line and reeling in the catch of the day. The expansive 18x6-foot lake pad adds another layer of fun offering the perfect spot for floating lounging or splashing the day away. Plus with a private boat ramp right on the property you can launch your boat directly into the water making lake access as convenient as it is enjoyable. Whether you're fishing swimming boating or relaxing the waterfront at Castaways is the heart of your lakeside adventure.

    When you're ready to come inside Castaways has just as much to offer. The fully stocked kitchen makes preparing meals a breeze and with two spacious living rooms there's plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The upstairs game room is the ultimate hangout spot complete with air hockey foosball a pool table and a selection of board games for friendly competition. Just off the game room you'll find two cozy bunk rooms perfect for kids or anyone looking for a playful retreat after a day of fun. For your convenience the home also includes a washer and dryer to keep everything fresh during your stay.

    At Castaways every detail has been designed to make your stay unforgettable. Whether you're paddling across the lake at sunrise enjoying game night in the upstairs retreat or sharing stories around the fire pit this is more than just a vacation—it's where memories are made. We can't wait to welcome you to Castaways your home away from home on the shores of Lake Gaston.

Perfectly peaceful.

Our family stayed at Castaways to celebrate our parents 60th anniversary, and we could not have asked for a better experience. The home is beautiful and located in a very quiet and peaceful area. There isn’t much close by as far as stores or restaurants so we came stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. . The space is Large, nicely laid out and very fresh and new. Each bedroom was very nice and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and had plenty of dining space for the 10 of us. The living space was also spacious. The lake views are stunning and we enjoyed our days on the water fishing, swimming and kayaking. Our group also enjoyed yard games and cooking on the outdoor grill. In the evening we made good use of the fantastic game room playing pool, foosball and Air hockey while watching sports on the big screen tv. When we had a question the management company was quick to reply and was helpful. They provided great communication with clear and easy checking and check out instructions. We really have no complaints and will definitely be back again.

Summer vacation with friends

We had a great week at this house despite some rainy weather! 4 adults and 7 kids, and the house had plenty of room for all of us (much bigger than it appears in the photos!). When the weather cleared up we made use of all the water toys and spent lots of time in the water and on the dock. Thanks for a great week!
