Our family had an incredible time at "The Lucky Duck" on Lake Gaston! The sunsets were absolutely beautiful, and the location was perfect for our getaway. The hosts were awesome and even provided a large dog kennel and dog bowls for our furry friend, which was a big plus. The cleanliness of the place was pristine, the beds were fabulous, and the fully loaded kitchen with all the spices we needed made cooking a breeze. We rented a Tritoon from Lake Gaston Summer Rentals for the week and appreciated being able to dock it at the house on a lift. The two kayaks and paddleboard added extra fun to our stay, and there were plenty of life jackets for safety. We had a blast tubing and boating to the Shady Shack for lunch each day. Thank you again to our host John, especially for helping us with a few condiments for our first night’s dinner so we didn’t have to run out. Highly recommend this beautiful property!

Fantastic property on beautiful Lake Gaston! This place had soo much to offer, so in no particular order:
- The views were amazing! The patios/living areas/decks were great for enjoying the lake views or the sunset
- The beach was great for our little kids to swim in. The kayaks, chairs, life vests, towels, and play toys were perfect!
- The house had everything you could think of for 3 families to settle into comfortably (the house could easily handle more though).
- The house was beautifully decorated. The layout was well thought out and the beds, towels, and linen were luxurious.
- The kitchen had everything for us to cook with (utensils, storage containers, vitamix, etc)
- Lots to do in the house itself for adults and the kids - board games, toys, ping pong, etc
- The owner lives on the neighboring property - he was very friendly and accommodating and one of the best hosts we have met. We had all the privacy we needed
We can't wait to vacation at the Lucky Duck again!

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 Neighborhood

Welcome to Littleton, Lake Gaston, & Ferncliff

The Lucky Duck boasts 3 overlapping but distinct neighborhoods, all of which combine to make it the perfect place for a lake vacation.

  First, it’s a few minutes outside the town limits of Littleton, NC, which has been recently highlighted in an article in “Our State” magazine for an amazing revitalization that includes a new fine dining restaurant, coffee shop/wine store, art gallery, brewery, theatre, amphitheater, school, veteran’s museum, and more.  

Additionally, it’s on the shores of Lake Gaston, a beautiful recreational lake that’s over 30 miles long with over 350 miles of shoreline.  The Lucky Duck is ideally located on a west-facing, main lake lot with views of miles of open water and dramatic sunsets. 

Finally, The Lucky Duck a part of the quiet and idyllic Ferncliff residential neighborhood, which is known for its shady, tree-lined streets, large grassy field for recreation, and small neighborhood boat ramp/access area.
