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!

Very nice property. There are many steps down to the lake which might be hard for some.

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

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.

Five teachers and their families stayed at this amazing property for a week. The house was the perfect size for all 5 families. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and space to accommodate all of us. The amenities (dock, jump off dock, fire pit, paddle boards, kayaks, and pool table) kept us all busy and entertained all week.

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!

We used this place for an annual planning meeting. The house was large enough that everyone had plenty of privacy. I would come back for a vacation and would definitely bring a boat next time. Very clean.

Wonderful lake getaway
We had a great time at Macon memories! There was lots of space for everyone to hang out. Very well stocked kitchen. Fire pit was fun to hangout at every night. Only thing I would recommend would be lounge chairs on the top deck of the boat house.

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.

Macon Memories is an outstanding property. We do an annual vacation with 3 families of 5, and this place was perfect. It is very well laid out and easily accommodated our group of 15. We never felt cramped, and it had all the necessary amenities needed to enjoy the lake life. The beds were comfortable, and the seating throughout was plentiful and of great quality. The grill and fire pit were also top notch. When we weren't out boating, our kids enjoyed swimming, fishing, and jumping off the docks upper deck. The owner was great at communicating with us, from the start, and checked to insure everything met our expectations when we arrived. I highly recommend this property! A great experience!

We shared this wonderful house with another family. Kids age range from 9-13 all had an awesome time jumping off the dock, kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming. The upper deck on the dock was perfect for relaxing and watching the boats go by on the lake and the fire pit was fun for s’mores and hanging out in the evening. House was awesome and had everything we needed. Boat rentals are close by and easy for pick up and drop off. Can’t go wrong with this house and location!

My family and I had a great time, we’ve rented multiple houses at Lake Gaston over the years and this was one of my favorites. The house is well stocked, clean and comfortable. Located on a nice and quiet cove for swimming but right off the main lake for easy access with a boat. Bill was very responsive to our requests and any concerns we had during our stay. Highly recommend and I will definitely go back!

It doesn’t get much easier to enjoy your vacation. The house is in great shape and maintained well. Kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly imagine. The layout worked out great for our family; the downstairs was perfect for the teen hangout. Great lake location and outdoor amenities. Bill was very attentive from my first contact up until we pulled out of the driveway. Wonderful experience all around. We would certainly come back!

This property was exactly what we needed for a quick family and friends weekend. This property is nestled in a quiet finger of Lake Gaston with quick access to the busy lake. The property had enough rooms to accommodate a large group of mixed ages. Adults had plenty of rooms to choose from and not be forced to sleep in bunk beds like many rental properties we rented in the past. The kids enjoyed all of the available games and were able to make s’mores at the fire pit. Adults had plenty of sitting areas outside to get away from the larger group. The owner was very great to work with and I would visit this property again!!

Great place with everything you could possibly need!
The pictures don’t do this house justice, it’s perfect! The house is huge with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and it has everything you could possibly need. We traveled with a very large group of family ranging in ages from 15-80 and we never once felt cramped. The house has everything from storage containers for your leftovers to games and toys for the kids. Our kids are older and loved being able to go out on the water on the paddle boards and fishing from the kayaks. The cove is quiet and safe for the kids to swim and have a good time. Bill was a wonderful host, he checked in often during our stay and was quick to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend this beautiful property!

50th Wedding Anniversary
Our family had a wonderful Lake Gaston experience. The layout of the house was PERFECT for our three little families (5 kids in total). The location was perfect, the water toys were an added bonus, and the fishing was great. We enjoyed the fire pit the ping pong table and pool table tremendously, AND we have plenty of fridge space in house and garage to accommodate ALL. The bar set up on the first floor was awesome even a mini fridge at the dock. The private views off every bedroom were delightful. There was plenty of space for our group of 11 and we were super thankful for the additional ice machine. The owners were SUPER prompt with any and all communication and we will be back - 100%.

Incredible Framily Vacation
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at Macon Memories! We had a very large group of 15 people including four individual families; three families with two kids and one family with one child. With six bedrooms, we had plenty of space for each family to have their own area of the house and sleeping arrangements were perfect. For context, the children in our group were 10, 7, 4, 2.5, 2, 1, and 5 months.
The location on the lake was perfect. We loved being in the cove away from the boat traffic on the main lake, but we still had a great view of the lake and tons of privacy.
The boathouse is INCREDIBLE. On the top deck, we set up a tent for shade and baby pool for the kiddos. The older kids and adults loved jumping from the jump gate. Everyone loved swimming and fishing for hours every day.
We rented a pontoon for the week and had plenty of space to dock the boat. Taking daily trips to explore new areas of the lake was such fun! We were close to three restaurants and gas on the lake.
I can't imagine another location this perfect for the price. The house had absolutely everything we needed -- the owners really thought of everything: kitchen needs, bedding, board games, bluetooth around the house, great wi-fi, ice makers, koozies, refrigerator at the boat house, comfortable furniture and beds, water toys, etc. Bill, the owner, checked in on us throughout the week and provided great information before, during and after our stay.
We will definitely be back next summer.

Beautiful property, attentive owner
This house had everything you'd need! The kitchen was stocked with everything you'll need to cook, plenty for the young adults to do with the ping pong table and pool table. We jumped off the sundeck, boated, tubed & water skied. Had some friendly turtles in the cove as well. Neighbors were great, neighborhood was great for walking. The owner responded promptly to my texts. We would definitely rent this house again!

Family Vacation
This property worked out even better than I expected and we had a wonderful time! The owner was great at communicating information and checked on us the day we arrived and before we left to see if there was anything he needed to address. The home was the perfect layout for our family which allowed us adults and kids to really enjoy our time with one another. There was several nice touches: intercom system, ice maker, dock speakers for music, deep water for the kids to jump off the dock and great spot on the lake to float and relax. I scored 4 stars for location only because it took about 20-25 min to get to the nearest grocery store. We would definitely love to stay again!
A couple things I will know for next time:
- Check on the thermostat setting each day. The first and second floor thermostats would reset each day to 74 & 76. A few days in we realized this and Then just Made sure the check and lower the setting Daily as needed.
- Lake Gaston does not offer trash pick up. Plan taking the trash to the dump mid vacation. Do not be like us and wait until the end of vacation and have a ton of trash to take at once.
If you are considering this property for a quiet family vacation do not hesitate!
