Four Seasons' "Creeks of Lake Gaston" signature collection is managed and distributed exclusively by Lake Gaston Four Seasons Gift Shop.

Brunswick Mineral Springs Bed and Breakfast located in Burnswick County, VA (near Lawrenceville and about 40 minutes from Lake Gaston) is arguably one of the best B&B's in the country! We had the pleasure of staying there recently in celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary. Nan and Dave could not have been better Inn Keepers. The house, grounds, and salt water pool are fabulous. And yes - a superb breakfast! You won't want to leave.

903Grill at Morningstar Marina (south end of Eaton's Ferry Bridge). We like to cruise over in our electric boat on Saturday morning for breakfast. They also have excellent hamburgers and chicken salad as well. (Seasonal operation.)

Pea Hill Creek Country Store at 4111 Gasburg Road, Gasburg (VA) - great sandwiches, special menu items that change daily, including ribs smoked on the premises, superb hand-dipped (I.C.) ice cream and shakes, and world famous VA FERIDIES peanuts. The "old store museum", consignment shop, and overall atmosphere of "yesteryear" is a very fun place to visit. Relax on the front porch. Subject to scaled back off-season schedule. Call to confirm hours of operation.

The Kennon House Restaurant located is a historic landmark for the area (in Gasburg, VA) is one of our favorite restaurants anywhere ("upscale comfort food with a special touch" complemented with weekend specials). Takes about 15 minutes to drive there from Eaton's Ferry Bridge. They can handle large groups in private dining areas - call ahead to arrange. They also have an outstanding buffet for Sunday lunch/afternoon and Saturday night - and "grand Sunday buffet" for special seasonal occasions. If you've not been there, please put it on your radar.

Of course, your visit to Lake Gaston would not be complete without visiting Virginia and crew at Ebony General country store - located n Ebony, VA - 10 miles east of I-85 Exit 4 (Bracey) on 903 and 8 miles west/north from Eaton's Ferry Bridge on 903. Famous for their hot dogs, chicken salad, barbeque, and hand-dipped ice cream while you marvel at everthing else in the store! Also excellent source for old fashioned aged cheddar cheese cut from the wheel -- one of our favorites with Murray's old fashioned ginger snaps.

From Ebony General, take Robinson Ferry Road north about 1/4 mile to Homestead Antiques and Garden Shop -- family owned and operated by Patrica and Bob Conner -- just opened in 2008. (Mostly weekend hours - call ahead to confirm 434-636-2025.) Serious "antique-ers" are encouraged to visit. All who stop in will be amazed at the lifelong collection and presentation - and really enjoy your time with Patricia, Rudy, and others who may be visiting when you do.

If your plans call for specialty cakes and bakery items, then there is no better place anywhere than J B Jones Store and Bakery located off 903 between I-85 (Bracey exit) and Ebony VA - turn onto Blackridge Road at Tangelwood Shores and continue for about 2 miles. Custom decorated cakes, a huge variety of layer cakes, pies, cookies, homemade rolls, and great ham biscuits (in bulk for parties). Barner's Nursery and Gift/Garden Shop is right next door as well.

The newest attraction in the area is Rosemont Vineyards & Winery. In fact, we can personally vouch for all of the reds - they are exceptional. The whites are nice too - we just happen to be "red wine folks". The wine-tasting experience and general ambience feel like being in Napa! The grapes for all of their wines come from the Rosemont Vineyard. To get to the vineyard and winery, you will pass it on the way to J B Jones Store - about 1 miles off 903 from the Tanglewood Shores intersection.. The Rose family has done a remarkable job creating something very wonderful and exciting.

And rounding out the list of some of our favorites is award-winning Mary Sherwood Lake Living ( very cool store to shop for home and personal accessories).
