Luxury Lake Gaston Waterfront Deep H2O Dock Calm Cove Main Lake Views Sleeps 18

Welcome to Macon Memories, a spacious 4,500-square-foot Lake Gaston waterfront retreat designed for memorable vacations with family and friends. With 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and sleeping accommodations for up to 18 guests, there's plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the lake together.

The location gives you the best of both worlds: a calm, deep-water cove that's ideal for swimming, floating, fishing and docking your boat(s) and/or jet-skii(s), plus beautiful main-lake views and immediate access to Lake Gaston in seconds with no bridges to navigate under. There are also four kayaks and paddleboards at the dock for renters to enjoy.

Spend the day on the water, relax on the double-decker dock and expansive sundeck, enjoy dinner overlooking the lake, gather around the outdoor firepit in the evening and make smoars, or simply take in the views from the home's multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Bring your boat or jet skis. The deep-water dock provides convenient boat parking, and there are no bridges between the property and the main lake. Marinas, fuel, groceries and waterfront restaurants around Eaton Ferry Bridge are approximately two miles away by boat.

Inside, the home offers plenty of space for large and multi-generational families, with 50+ five-star reviews, the most well-equipped kitchen on the lake, comfortable gathering areas, game spaces (including a pool table, ping pong, many kids games, and corn hole), and Starlink satellite high-speed internet.

Whether you're planning an active week on the water or simply want to relax together at the lake, Macon Memories provides the space and location for a classic Lake Gaston vacation for your extended family or multiple families to enjoy!

Macon Memories, a Great Place to Stay

We stayed at Macon Memories for a week at the beginning of July. There were 10 of us between the ages of 10 and 80 years old. It was very clean, had a very well stocked kitchen, a comfortable living room, lots of games, and on a desirable area of the lake. Bill, our host, was immediately responsive to any questions or needs we had. Only slight problems I would mention - the internet often was slow, both because there were so many visitors on the Lake over the July 4th week and that internet is hard to get all over the Lake (we had trouble with it in a different house last year). Bill promised that by next year that problem would be fixed. There also is no bathroom near the "loft" bedroom. But, both the kids and the adults had an absolutely delightful time because there were so many activities. There were many steps down to the water, where the kids loved jumping off the upper deck of the dock and swimming. All of us played ping pong, pool, and several board games in the comfortable downstairs area. We rented a boat, behind which we skied and tubed, and a jet ski, both of which we enjoyed immensely. Getting the 4 cousins (between the ages of 10 and 17) together is always a treat since it only happens about twice a year and they get along well. The adults relaxed, read, and played with the children. All in all, we had a fun-filled vacation with 10 people!

Best on the lake

Olde Ferry Estates has been the best to date for our lake vacations, everything was as described, or better than advertised. Two families with infants, young adults, teenagers, and adults spent the week, and were not disappointed. Plenty of beds, bathrooms, and space to accommodate all. The kitchen is well stocked, better than most stores, plenty of pots, pans, coffee makers, and even a waffle maker. the pool table kept the kids busy when not in the water. the upper deck was definitely a hit with everyone, even the geezers ... bill the host was extremely responsive and checked in to ensure everything was ok. hands down, this is the best overall experience to date

Annual lake family vacation

This was our third stay on Lake Gaston and by far the best! The Connell’s home was perfect for our three families with more than ample room and to quote my young granddaughter, “very pretty!”. The counter top ice maker was a game changer and all of our great meals were prepared in the well stocked kitchen. We also enjoyed the lake along with the provided kayaks and paddle boards. We rented a pontoon and still had plenty of room for our boards and floats. Everyone agreed we would like to return next year.

Fabulous Celebration Week!!!

This property in Olde Ferry Estates is incredible and you will not regret choosing to stay here. Our group was celebrating 65th birthdays, a 40th birthday, upcoming retirements, a wedding anniversary, and a graduation. Drinks, Food, laughing, enjoying friends and making new friends was our focus. The house is very well appointed and the kitchen is stocked with everything you would ever need. Most of the people in our group were experienced home/professional cooks and every kitchen tool we needed was there - and everything in the kitchen was fairly new and very well maintained. We have stayed in a lot of lake houses in this area and the kitchens never quite had everything we needed but this house exceeded our expectations. We were all able to relax and enjoy this spacious house. The house was super clean and we did not have any issues with anything. The double decker boat house was great. We rented a pontoon boat for part of the week and kept it at the boat house. We even caught a few good size fish which we returned to the lake. The owner checked in on us a couple times to see if we needed anything and it was reassuring to know that if we did need anything that they would respond quickly. A great great well needed time of celebration with friends. We would undoubtedly choose to stay at this house again in the future.

Fun and Relaxation!

My adult children and I, along with my best friend's family enjoyed an amazing week at this spacious, clean home. We especially appreciated the very well equipped kitchen, as we love to cook large family meals! There was more than enough room for everyone to spread out, inside and outside. The dock was a huge hit - tons of room and seating on the roof! We rented a pontoon boat for 2 days and loved being able to come in and out whenever we wanted. There were many yard games available, but we were so busy with the water that we never had a chance to use them. Everyone kept thanking me for booking this home - you can't go wrong!

Fantastic Family Vacation

13 of us stayed at this beautiful house. There is plenty of room for everyone! The kitchen is very well stocked! Extra fridge and freezer in garage came in very handy. Bill made communication very easy. The high speed internet was down while we were there and Bill went out of his way to ensure that my son (who had a college exam) was able to complete his exam. Only thing i would change is to have some kitchen cabnet space available to store the weeks worth of groceries.
