Christmas at the Lake

The Lucky Duck is a stunning and amazing home on the Lake. Everything you need for a wonderful home away from home is there. We enjoyed the entire stay from when we drove up to the property to the day we left. Our children and grandchildren loved every moment and we were able to put our Christmas tree up so that we was able to have an amazing Christmas at the lake. John is an awesome host.

Stay at The Lucky Duck

The Lucky Duck was everything you could want for the perfect lake vacation. The home was lovely, grounds were beautiful, wonderful porch for watching the perfect sunsets and everything was spotless. We were greeted by the caretaker who was very helpful. I have to emphasize again that the house had everything you needed for the perfect stay.

The Lucky Duck was perfect

The Lucky Duck was perfect for us. Main lake location in a wide area kept waves down and boat lifts kept boats clean and protected. If you have rented on the lake you know spider webs are everywhere, well not here, this place was CLEAN! Boathouse was spotless and webfree. The house was well stocked and we all loved the welcome basket. The fact that they allow dogs and the place is so nice is a huge plus. Anyway, this is top on our list so far for Gaston. Thanks John and crew.

Exceptional stay at The Lucky Duck

My family and I just enjoyed a phenomenal week at The Lucky Duck. The property was immaculately maintained and of the highest quality. The Lucky Duck is equipped with absolutely everything you will need for an amazing stay. The kitchen was 110% stocked, and the use of the paddle board and kayaks was certainly an added plus. The access to deep water is perfect for swimming and water sports. In short, this was as close to a perfect rental property as you could possible come. I hope we are able to visit again soon. The property provided an opportunity to create lasting family members which will last for years. Thank you!!

Sister’s Big 5-0 Bday!

Stunning is an understatement! We arrived just in time to catch sunset on our first night which was absolutely amazing. The property is so beautiful, immaculately landscaped, the floor plan is super conducive to accommodating a large group with plenty of space to dine together or sit and enjoy the view of the lake or sit by the fire. Which by the way the host, John stocked us up with plenty of firewood as well as checking on us without being intrusive. The kitchen was the most well appointed rental I have ever visited. We throughly enjoyed our stay, it was definitely a very special weekend made even better by the most perfect accommodations! The view was spectacular, it was also great to have use of the kayaks and ping pong table. Very nice outdoor grill and dining area. I could go on and on. But when your 13 year old nephew tells you the house was “perfect for family togetherness” you know you picked a winner!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot!

The Lucky Duck house is a perfect family retreat! The property offers stunning views of the lake and plenty to do while you're there. This is quite honestly the best rental property that we've ever stayed in! It has a feel like you're staying in someone's home rather than an investment property. The owners are extremely responsive and accommodating. Everything you can see in the pictures of this place is absolutely true. This property deliveries on every aspect. Our kids loved the private beach and could not get enough of jumping off of the dock. Our family dinners were almost always from the grill and eaten outside looking at the lake. The owners’ attention to detail and warm hospitality ensured that our family vacation was perfect. This lake house is truly a magical spot for creating unforgettable family memories. We will be returning!

Lake Gaston Birthday Celebration

Don’t know where to begin, this property was spectacular in so many ways. House beautifully appointed and just about brand new. Owner had so many things stocked. that made packing easy. Quality materials everywhere. Beautifully landscaped, stone paths, and trex decking. Dock beautiful with lots of life jackets provided with kayaks and paddle board. A stone fire pit with wood supplied and lots of chairs. View of lake was fantastic. Everything they advertised and more. I would rate it a 10.

Tranquil Oasis

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a remarkable family holiday getaway at The Lucky Duck. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this property was something special, offering a perfect blend of comfort, serenity, and adventure against the backdrop of stunning lake views. Our stay was truly elevated by the warm and gracious greeting from the owner. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality. The Lucky Duck is a gem, boasting a cozy yet spacious interior that was both tastefully decorated and meticulously maintained. Perfect for a large family getaway and gathering. We were greeted by breathtaking views of the tranquil lake. The availability of kayaks allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the surrounding across the peaceful waters. Fishing and relaxing by the fireplace provided the perfect blend of excitement and tranquility.

Thoroughly Impressed

Had a great time at this beautiful location. The entire home from top to bottom is well manicured and did not disappoint. Upon arrival, we found a nice welcoming gift bag with goodies and souvenirs. During our stay, we took advantage of toys in the boathouse while fishing, built a fire in the firepit (our host supplied plenty of firewood) and cooked out on the grill. Never even made it to playing ping pong or any of the board games offered. Our host, John, was responsive whenever we had questions which were very few because of the detailed house manual provided. We enjoyed neighborhood walks each morning with warm receptions from just about every passing person or car. My favorite space was the private beach complete with two adirondack chairs perfectly positioned to view the evening sunset. As a photographer, I can truly say that there are an unlimited amount of areas to create regardless of your subject(s). Overall, there was nothing that we needed that was not provided. Thoroughly impressed.

Serene escape at the Lucky Duck

From the moment we booked the Lucky Ducky Lake House on VRBO, it was clear we were in for a treat. John and Ann, the hosts, set the tone for an exceptional stay with their clear communication, swift response times, and incredibly friendly demeanor. Their attention to detail and guest satisfaction is unmatched, making our experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The house itself is a gem. Being new, it offers a fresh, clean environment that is immediately welcoming. It is well-appointed, blending modern amenities with charming decorative touches – the ducks scattered throughout the house added a playful and homely vibe that we absolutely loved. The layout caters to both group activities and individual relaxation, featuring plenty of nice sitting areas and individual balconies that allow for private moments with stunning views. Outdoor spaces at Lucky Ducky are just as thoughtfully designed. The fire pit became a favorite gathering spot for our group, offering ample room for everyone to enjoy the warmth and camaraderie. Although our visit was in February, we were impressed by the lakeside amenities, including a well-maintained dock with two boat slips and spots for two personal watercrafts. We are already planning a return trip in the warmer months to take full advantage of these facilities. The location of Lucky Ducky is truly special. Nestled in a beautiful area with wooded terrain and slight rolling hills, it offers a serene escape that feels both secluded an
