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.

Perfect getaway

My wife and I needed a serene getaway and Laura and Butch’s guesthouse was just that. The views from the big windows were incredible. The weather was perfect for us. Our hosts were wonderful. We laid back and cooked and did puzzles and sat by the water. I couldn’t have asked for anything more….except maybe a few more days. We will be back!

Perhaps the most well appointed property we have ever stayed in. Perfect size and feet from the water and dock. Short trip to the local ramp to drop the boat. Many thanks to Laura and Butch for the flexibility with parking the trailer (and the extra rope!).

Another wonderful stay.

We enjoyed this vacation home first back in June. We liked it so much that we returned with our almost 6 year old grandson. We had so much fun with fishing, swimming, and S’mores! We also enjoyed seeing the elk on the way in and out. Laura and Butch are awesome hosts and made our grandson feel welcomed and special. We had another wonderful experience!

Ready to go back tomorrow...

Lovely, comfortable, stocked guest house in the most beautiful location, with the most amazing and welcoming hosts ever! Butch and Laura are so kind and fabulous, and Laura has thought of EVERYTHING you might possibly need. The lake is beautiful, the beds and pillows are perfectly squishy and comfortable, the kitchen has all the necessities for your stay. I checked in, burrowed in, switched myself off the grid and snuggled under the softest couch blanket I've ever seen and read all the books that I've been wanting to read. Thank you, Laura and Butch! Looking forward to returning with family and friends.

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.
