We have stayed in the property twice and have booked another stay for next year. It is a fabulous house and the Lake Gaston Vacation Homes folks are consummate professionals. I highly recommend Carried Away as a vacation destination.

The house was amazing and loved being able to rent the pontoon boat.

Loved the place. Already rebooked it for next year. Mark

My parents were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and my brothers and I looked for almost a year to find a house that could handle 3 generations. This was the prefect house! The big dinning room table gave us a great space to eat dinner together and play games when we were done. The pool table, ping pong table and arcade games gave the kids plenty to do when we were not in the lake. The hot tube was enjoyed by all. It was super easy to get to. Food Lion was close enough that when we had to run to the store it didn’t feel like a half of day trip. We enjoyed a movie in Roanoke Rapids.

We had a fantastic time at Carried Away on Lake Gaston. We had 20 people over the course of the week traveling in from a variety of locations, and Carried Away accommodated us all perfectly! We spent a ton of time on the lake skiing, tubing, fishing and traveling by boat to several of the lakefront restaurants, all within an easy boat ride. Renting the pontoon boat is an absolute must! The boat house was a favorite hangout as was the downstairs game room and bar where we spent time shooting pool and mixing our favorite drinks at night, watching old movies and playing video games. Views were spectacular, and the kitchen with two refrigerators, two dishwashers and ovens, along with the outdoor grill, was more than enough to prepare a few large scale meals for the group! The property is well maintained, clean and the property owners were a pleasure to deal with. We are grateful to have found this place, and recommend it highly!

What a wonderful place to spend a relaxing week. We love that when you rent the pontoon boat it is already at the property and you leave it there, so you have access to it the entire week. The kitchen is very well equipped and well labeled so you don't have to hunt for what you need. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and was super clean and ready to enjoy.

This was a magical week and Carried Away played a big part in that. It was my parents 55th anniversary and children and grandchildren flew and drove in from multiple states and time zones. The house was terrific - plenty of communal space, but also private space when people wanted alone time. Great set-up on the dock with the bar and TV, loungers, and extra tie-ups. We had a jet ski on the short side and were able to tie our 24’ OB on the long side of the boathouse (there is a pontoon in the bout house itself). Water is wadable right at shore but deep enough at end of dock that we could leave the outboard motor down in the water. The cove is very quiet and smooth for paddle boarding but only a few hundred yards from main lake for tubing and jetski. Grill and Kitchen also amazing. We have two family members with strict dietary concerns and with two refrigerators and two dishwashers were able to keep everyone safe. Driveway is a little tight for boat trailer but we parked trailer at top of driveway where there is more space. Worked great for Saturday AM departure.

Great house: plenty of room for our family of 16, ages 19 months to 67 years old! Wonderful kitchen, great room and large dining room table for family meals along with the outdoor dining spaces. Loved the boathouse & deck, highly recommend renting a pontoon boat and jet skis! Adult kids and grandkids loved the basement with billiards and arcade games. Beds were comfortable and all bedrooms were nicely furnished. We brought our dogs and the yard was great for them as well! Another nice touch was the ice machine in the garage! Had a really relaxing and fun week and we're looking forward to returning next year!
