Excellent guest house; great for couples or small families. Great view, instant access to the lake. Kitchen was well stocked with all the needed utensils for cooking and clean up. Probably one of the best Vrbo rentals we’ve ever done.

Absolutely outstanding hosts and a true hidden gem! Butch and Laura were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The guesthouse was beautiful, spotless, and perfectly situated to enjoy Lake Gaston. We loved our stay so much that we’ve already booked a return visit in July. Highly recommend — five stars all the way!

Wonderful escape!

There's a reason this property and these hosts are exceptional - so many details are provided to make this a very special place to find some peace and quiet. We took a short break to be near the water and enjoy the sun and everything in the guest house was made to welcome us and make our stay exactly what we were looking for.

Wonderful place place to stay.

Beautiful place to stay and relax. The hosts were absolutely amazing. They provided all the necessities for anyone to relax and enjoy. If you like to swim, fish, float around in the water or relax on the private deck. I would highly recommend this little piece of paradise.

Two very relaxing weeks

My husband and I enjoyed two vert relaxing weeks at the guest house. Even though we had record heat for one of the weeks, we still got up early and fished off the boat dock and caught fish each day and even enjoyed some canoeing. Our host were wonderful, even offering there fridge and two long extension cords from their home to the guest house so we could charge our devises due to power outage from a strong storm that blew through.We will be definitely be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Hartman

Host profile image
We have lived at Lake Gaston for nearly 5 years now, having lived in Richmond, while raising our kids. Once they had their wings, we had our wings and fulfilled our dream of living at this beautiful lake. Laura grew up on a lake in the Adirondacks and couldn't wait to get back to lake life. We love boating, skiing, floating on the lake with a cocktail in hand, going out to dinner by boat and sailing on our sunfish when there's a nice breeze.
Prior to being a guesthouse, it was an over-sized two-car garage. Because we have 6 children who are now beginning to marry and start families, and lack of room for all at the main house, we decided to change the garage into a guesthouse to accommodate them. Being that the garage was lakefront with better views than the main house, it was an easy decision. When the kids and now grandkids, aren't here, we make it available to you.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful water views in every direction. Located on wide main lake cove. See the main lake but sheltered from boats and their waves. Long, narrow beach, 14 feet of water at end of the boathouse. Ladder up to top dock to jump off! Kayaks and a canoe for guest use as well as water loungers. Fire tables on private patio and at the dock in front of the large swing. Wood burning stone fireplace just added Sept 2021 on your patio. Sun and shade areas on dock. Be a bartender at the NautiBar! Rent a boat and keep it at the dock. Boat rental and fishing tour information available. Guesthouse manual with lists of things to do as well as restaurants in the area.

What makes this property unique

For couples staying a week or more, included is a one hour ride tour our 24 foot pontoon boat at a mutually agreeable time.
