Relaxing setting

This property was ideal with the many group seating areas and hideaways for group activities and yet alone time when wanting a few minutes away from the family gathering. Very clean and relaxing. Had what is needed for a comfortable stay and home away from home vacation. Would recommend.

Great place

We loved our stay at Pasture Gate Lodge! The dock is awesome and a great spot to hang out. We loved kayaking around the cove. The fire pit is such a cozy spot for relaxing and s'mores. The house was clean, comfortable, and so nice with the big windows overlooking the lake. Our 4 year old loved bunk beds and game room. Would love to come back!

Staycation

This stay at Pasture Gate Lodge was PERFECT for our family. We lived on the lake for 15 years and knew the area. Anna was professional and very accommodating for check in and Check out. The house is great for kids and adults. The bonus pool and entertainment room is a great hang out. Thanks so much for a great week on the lake. PS. Jumped many many times from the top dock!!

Perfect Getaway with friends!

This was an amazing time to reconnect with some old friends, and make some new ones along the way! I reached out to make the reservation a few months in advance, and Anna (the owner) was extremely helpful in not only getting the booking done, but also suggesting some additional dates that would better maximize my groups time at the property. Anna was also very prompt in responding, as well as sending out the "pre arrival" check-in information. Check-in was a breeze, parking instructions were clear, and the home was 100% clean and ready for us to move in for a week. Note that the closest two facilities for goods are a Dollar General and a Convenience store - both were perfect for our immediate needs, and Casa-Mia's in Littleton makes a great pizza for that first night if you're not up for cooking! As advertised, we were easily able to stream the Hurricanes game on the TV in the living room - and there was plenty of other space, both inside and out, for those that weren't sports fans to enjoy their own activities (such as the fire pit!) The boat dock and amenities (kayaks, etc) were perfect for our group, and I had no issues tying my boat (23 foot wakeboard boat) up at the dock for the week. Gaston is a pretty clean lake, so leaving your boat in just requires a regular post-use wipe down, nothing crazy like some other muddy lakes! Checking out was also just as easy - we did a quick clean up and off we went! 100% will stay here again!

Great weekend

We had a great time at this lake house. We spent the majority of the time on the dock. The house has everything we could need and fit our needs great. The game room is so fun for kids and adults.

Rare Gem on Lake Gaston

You expect your host to make your stay comfortable, but Anna went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I had a memorable stay. Anna recommended a launch area for our boat and helped us launch it. She came by to check on us to make sure we were happy with our accommodations and then left us alone to enjoy them. At the end of our stay, she and her son Jeremy were up early to help us take our boat out. You can't get better service than that! Anna was an excellent host!

We enjoyed our short vacation. Pasture gate is centrally located on Lake Gaston and an easy boat or JetSki ride from Shady Shack , Waters View or The Pointe bars and restaurants. Unfortunately, the timing was after Labor Day, and the septic system could not keep up with the many guests. There was a smell from the septic tank outside the door leading to the kitchen and as instructed, we did not use the laundry. We had tons of fun on the JetSki, but can see where on the weekends, the Cove must get very busy, although it is a no wake zone. Anna, was very responsive and on site during our stay. Accommodations would be great for two small families with a boat.

Best Place on the Lake

Had a great stay, the home was very clean and comfortable. This is on a quiet street which I really appreciate as there is no noise from traffic. Had everything we needed on the inside plus a great game room separated from the main living area. The dock is fantastic! The water is deep for swimming, kayaks were awesome and there was plenty of room on the dock to gather outdoors and relax. Really great place and fantastic communication! Look forward to staying again.

Great experience, highly recommend

The lodge is an awesome place to hang out, boat, fish, eat, drink, goof off or whatever it is that appeals to your version of lake life. Pasture Gate Road has to be one of the best neighborhoods on LKG and this VRBO host is superb to work with. Highly recommend.

Amazing and Relaxing Stay!

Pasture Gate is the perfect place to stay on Lake Gaston! My family has vacationed at Lake Gaston for the past 7 years, we’ve stayed in different rentals every year because we had yet to find one that met all of our various needs…until we struck gold this year with Pasture Gate! It is located in a quiet cove with very respectful neighbors. We were able to easily tie our boat off at the dock without any issues or concerns. And the dock has everything we could have wanted - we swam, fished, jumped from the upper deck, sat under the covered side and watched a thunderstorm pass through, my 17 year old strung up his hammock to lounge in, and I got to enjoy a cup of coffee on the swing every morning. The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked and all the beds were very comfortable. Our kids range in age from 20 years old to 5 years old and when we weren’t out on the lake or dock, my older kids enjoyed playing pool and hanging out in the garage while my 5 year old happily played with play doh at the table on the large porch or beating me in a round of Twister in the living room. Anna is a wonderful host; so welcoming and kind, extremely responsive and a wealth of Lake Gaston knowledge. We can not wait to come back to Pasture Gate next year!

Perfect Lake House

Our stay at the Pasture Gate on Lake Gaston was a dream come true. The quiet cove provided a safe place for our kids to play in the water and park our boat without fear of damage by waves and wind. The house is well kept, and the accommodations are great. We enjoyed waking up to a view of the water after spending our evenings playing games and music in the detached game room. Our older children really enjoyed the pool table and the separate space for them to hang out. We only experienced one minor glitch and the host was very quick to respond and resolve the issue. In fact, our host went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was both relaxing and fun for everyone. If you’re looking for a place to kick up your feet and relax, you have found the right listing. Highly recommend!

Fun waterfront place

We loved sitting on the dock as much as possible. There is a covered area so we could do that even during the rain. The fire pit is so nice and we loved using that. The beds we’re comfortable and the places is decorated very cute! We really enjoyed this property!
