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.
