The addition features a large dining room [comfortable seating for 12], spacious kitchen with full amenities such granite countertops & tons of cabinetry.
Also just added is a private downstairs master suite [450 square feet] with a tiled shower and whirlpool tub. The master suite, in addition, provides another great lake view & private access to the lake.
There is also a detached effeciency apartment with kitchenette and full bath. This apartment certainly accomodates 4 teenagers or a couple with younger children. This entire property makes for an excellent "getaway" for family reunions or multi family groups. Just to be clear, this apartment for four IS included with the week's rental price.
The main house has a new 500 square-foot sun deck which provides an incredible main lake view. Its gentle lighted slope leads to a very large boat dock for water activities (8-feet deep). New landscaping enhances the overall appeal of this home. A "firepit" allows for marshmellow roasts or just good late night conversation on cooler nights. This dwelling is also in close proximity to Eaton Ferry Marina for boat rentals and ramps.
Freshly painted, redecorated with all new carpet and hardwoods, is smoke free. This adorable former "A" frame [pre addition] now has four bedrooms plus a loft three full baths and a basement/gameroom with a NEW 8'pool table with 1" slate as well as large flatscreen "sportsbar" like tv.

The efficiency is available only in conjunction with the main house to better serve your larger group. This apartment has a 14' by 14' deck as well!
Please call early or email early to reserve your extented family's or group's 1st choice of weeks. This is our second home and therefore rent it only a few weeks a year so don't miss out on a incredible relaxing & luxorious "Gaston Getaway".

Owner Description

Greg and Debbie Dragos bought this vacation home in 2001 as a place our family could meet for family reunions. We totally renovated our "gaston getaway" in 2008 and added 1000 square feet of kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom space. Debbie and I have our professions in nursing and teaching respectively. We love the ambiance of Lake Gaston and we think you will as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your lake home. It easily adapted to our multi-family gathering, allowing everyone to have "their space" and yet still bring families together for games and water activities. We loved all the options for teenagers...the loft, the apartment, pool and ping-pong, campfire circle and the dock. The location on the lake makes it very accessible to stores and marinas yet still provides a cozy cove to get away from all the activity. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us...we will be back!
