About Stephanie Gaudette

I'm a born and raised maritimer who spent all of her summers growing up at Grand Lake West. As an adult and living closer to the East side of the lake, when the opportunity to purchase a 3 acre waterfront property that would never flood presented itself, we jumped on it. We subdivided the property into 2 lots: my aunt and uncle live year round on one lot and we have the other. Bamboo Beach (named for the abundance of bamboo that grows along the edge of the beach, which we tried desperately to eliminate the first years we were there to no avail) is our happy place. The sunsets don't get anymore beautiful than they are from there. It's where my children's summer memories were made and where we look forward to returning to the very minute we have to leave. We purchased this property in 2010, spending mostly weekends there from May-October. In 2014, our family moved from New Brunswick to British Columbia. In 2015, we upgraded the RV to a 40 foot model and in 2018, added a bunkie to the property. Every summer, we would return to this little piece of paradise for a few weeks. With Covid 19, it's been 2 years since we've spent any time here and now the kids are older and we aren't able to spend more than a couple of weeks in NB in the summertime. We love this property and though we aren't able to enjoy it as much as we'd like to, we want to others to have the opportunity to experience "lake life"-there's nothing better than being at the lake!
