We booked this property late in the season. Great location in quiet cove. The photos were close to fully representing the house with the exception of there not being closets in two of the bedrooms. No dressers or closets in the two upstairs rooms .linens were clean and the property was well maintained in the quiet culdesac. We used the kayak available and the boathouse for our rented pontoon boat. A great getaway for our family of 4 adults and 4 kids.

This house was nice. It had all the necessary things that were needed for our stay. A nice blackstone grill that was perfect for cooking and lots of fun toys to use in the lake.

Loved our stay. The house is very accepting so we were not afraid to feel at home. It is a lake cottage and with that are bugs & water. Bed was comfortable. Loved all the slider doors even if it was too hot to have them open. Blackstone was fun to cook on. Enjoyed ourselves and if we come back to Gaston we would love to rent redemption retreat again!

We enjoyed our stay at this nice lake property. It was clean and worked great for our family. We enjoyed the lake view and taking the kayaks out. Ashley was super responsive.

The good news was our family had fun anyway, and we had mostly sunny and good weather for boating. Unfortunately the house and property did not live up to expectations or as described in listing. Advertised as 4 bedrooms, other than the Master bedroom, the other bedrooms barely passed. The 2 small upstairs rooms were TINY, no closet and no furniture other than a small night stand and barely floor room to put down a suitcase. One room had no vent and was very warm (no AC other than what drifts in from hall). The basement Queen room has no window. The basement / sitting room had a serious water problem, that was partially addressed by a phone call to owner, and the clogged AC drain was fixed, but the basement still had water seepage with rain/ evening thunderstorms. The drainage problem also resulted in the lower deck being covered with mud and completely unusable. The listing advertises "grass all the way to water" and what the reality was "mud and straw" all the way to water. Upon check in, we could not find a clean towel in the house, only to find the dryer running, completely overstuffed with towels and blankets that were not drying, presumably due to them all being used by the cleaning crew in attempt to clean up the basement mud water before we arrived. I had to go get more laundry detergent and re-wash everything in smaller loads before we had clean and unstained towels. Also the kitchen dishes were sticky and we ran them all in the dishwasher on arrival with the one dishwasher soap pod we found. I am giving the property 2 stars because the kitchen/ great room area was pleasant to sit in and look at the lake. Fortunately we were able to spend a lot of time on our boat on the water (away from the very shallow and unpleasant dock at the house).

Very nice lake property. Clean and nicely renovated. Enjoyed the quiet lake view and taking the kayaks out. Host was very responsive. Would definitely return.

Really enjoyed out visit! Newly renovated, clean and comfy! Great location, convenient to grocery gas and restaurants - Ashley was communicative and attentive host. So many thoughtful amenities and conveniences at this home. Would def visit again!

I was very happy to find a nice home that is pet friendly. That can be hard. I was not disappointed with the home at all - newly refurbished with nice extra touches such as free linens, firewood, flat screen tv's throughout, and premium mattress toppers. The home was clean and nicely furnished. I had some trouble using the washer/dryer and the owner responded immediately to help me. This is a great find.
