About this property
Main Lake • Private Dock • Bring the Boat • Spacious Home • Flat Yard & Fire Pit
Welcome to Lake Gaston Sunset Retreat! Wake up to panoramic Main Lake views, spend the day boating, swimming, or paddleboarding from your private dock, and end the evening around the fire pit as the sun sets over Lake Gaston.
With over 100 five-star guest reviews, we're proud to offer one of Lake Gaston's most loved family vacation homes.
Lake Gaston Sunset Retreat is a beautifully appointed 3,800-square-foot waterfront home on a private one-acre point lot in the quiet Tangle Oaks community. Designed for families and friends to reconnect, the home features expansive indoor and outdoor gathering spaces with plenty of room to relax, unwind, and make lasting memories.
Whether you're planning a family vacation, a multi-family getaway, a fishing trip, a girls' weekend, or a peaceful couples retreat, you'll find everything you need for an unforgettable stay.
Designed for Gathering: Some of our favorite memories have been made around the dining table, on the deck, and in the kitchen. Whether you're preparing a big family breakfast before heading out on the lake, grilling burgers after a day on the water, or enjoying dinner with the sunset as your backdrop, the home is designed to bring everyone together.
One of our favorite things about this home is that you never have to leave once you arrive. Start your morning with coffee on the deck, spend the afternoon swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing from the dock, cook dinner together in the fully stocked kitchen, then gather around the fire pit as the sun sets over the Main Lake.
Why Guests Love It: * Unobstructed Main Lake sunset views * Private one-acre point lot with a rare flat yard * Private double boathouse with an open slip so your boat stays at the house all week * Fire pit with Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake * Multiple kayaks, paddleboards, and a canoe included * Fully equipped kitchen perfect for family meals and entertaining * Four spacious bedrooms and multiple gathering areas ideal for families and groups * Game room with air hockey, ping pong, arcade basketball, and Smart TVs
Outdoor Living & Lake Life: Life at the lake is all about being outdoors, and our home was designed to make the most of it. Relax on the expansive deck, gather around the fire pit after sunset, challenge the family to yard games on the flat lawn, or spend the day swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the views from the dock.
Our private double boathouse includes an open slip where you can safely keep your own boat throughout your stay, making it easy to enjoy the lake from sunrise to sunset.
A Kitchen You'll Actually Use: Unlike many vacation homes, we fully expect guests to cook, gather, and spend time together in the kitchen. Whether you're preparing pancakes before heading out on the water, grilling fresh seafood for dinner, or enjoying a family game night around the table, the kitchen is stocked with the cookware, appliances, and serving pieces needed for memorable meals together.
On the Water: Spend the day boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the dock—there's no shortage of ways to enjoy the lake. * Bring your own boat and keep it at our private dock. * Rent a pontoon, fishing boat, or jet ski—we're happy to recommend trusted local rental companies. * Launch at nearby Salmon Landing, just minutes from the house. * Enjoy our kayaks, paddleboards, canoe, floats, and life jackets. * Or simply relax on the dock with your morning coffee and take in the spectacular Main Lake views.
Perfect For: * Family vacations * Multi-family gatherings * Couples' getaways * Fishing trips * Girls' weekends * Guys' weekends * Holiday celebrations * Remote work with a view
Sleeping Arrangements: Our flexible floor plan comfortably accommodates multiple families while still providing private spaces to unwind.
We offer two spacious living levels provide privacy for multiple families while still bringing everyone together for meals, games, and evenings on the deck.
Main Level * Primary Suite #1 – King Bed, sitting area, Smart TV, spa bathroom with jacuzzi tub * Primary Suite #2 – King Bed, Smart TV, adjoining full bath * Fully equipped kitchen and dining area with cathedral ceilings and panoramic lake views * Living room with gas fireplace, comfortable sectional, and Smart TV * 60-foot lakefront deck with outdoor dining and seating

Explore Lake Gaston: When you're ready to explore, you'll find charming downtown Littleton, local marinas, boat rentals, waterfront dining, wineries, hiking trails, shopping, family attractions, and seasonal events just a short drive—or boat ride—away.
We'll provide our complete Lake Gaston Guest Guide before your arrival, including our favorite restaurants, grocery stores, boat rentals, local events, and insider tips to help you make the most of your stay.
We hope Lake Gaston Sunset Retreat becomes a place your family returns to year after year. We've created a home where friends reconnect, families make lifelong memories, and every day ends with one of Lake Gaston's unforgettable sunsets.
