Thanks so much for the great review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Castaways and truly appreciate the recommendation. Come see us again anytime! - Lake Gaston Vacation Rentals
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!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear the house had plenty of space for your group and that you were able to make the most of the lake once the sun came out. Nothing beats time spent on the dock and in the water, and we love that you enjoyed all the toys and amenities. We’d be delighted to host you again for more sunny lake memories!

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.
