Relaxing by Lake Gaston
The ”retreat” was fantastic! The house was immaculate and very up to date and the fenced in backyard was ideal for our dog to be able to enjoy herself. The front screened in porch made early morning coffee and evening cocktails a real pleasure. The owners checked on us to ensure everything was going well and that was appreciated. We will definitely go back to “Russell’s Retreat” again!!

Humble Home
Very cute home. Everything that you would need in the kitchen and Bathrooms. Very quiet neighborhood. People are very friendly. T gated backyard was perfect for my dads miniature dash hound. Met a very good friend of there’s named Todd. There were issues with the gate at the boat ramp. No fault of anyone’s other than the HOA committee. But the owner of the property did everything that she could to help out with an issue that was out of her control. Just as we were about to leave. Another gentleman who live in the neighborhood with a personal front license plate (JESUS). What a blessing it was to meet this kind spirited man. Immediately I said thank you Lord. It’s amazing how the Lord Jesus works in our lives. My dad who is 85. And in pretty good health but not the best. I just wasn’t wanting to leave him either driving my truck or the boat to the beach where you could’ve left the boat for the day. It was just a very blessed time for my dad and myself. Just one of many memories that my dad and I have shared. Thank you for opening your home to us. God Bless you and your family Bill

This was just a lovely place to stay. It was a very nice house and everything was clean and tidy. Everything looked new and remodled. It is a well looked after house. The best part for us was the screaned deck. We spent almost our entire time outside. It was so quiet and peaceful. Out back there is a place for a fire, swing, and a roofed area to hang out. We took advantage of the washer and dryer which looked brand new as well. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The owners were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. A perfect place to stay!!!

Perfect Lake House without the Lake
The Russell Retreat turned out to be the perfect little weekeend getaway. We had to overcome a slight disappointment as we thought we'd be much closer to the lake for our fur-babies to play in the water, but the lake was not even in walking distance. However, the landlocked treasure of a house with the fenced in backyard and front porch was an absolute delight. Perfect place for our pups to roam and easy in-and out the two gates in the yard.

Great get away
My husband, myself and our pups came for a short get away/Anniversary. The home was very clean, mastresses were comfortable and it was very well stocked especially the kitchen. The neighborhood was quiet, the backyard was very nice with the bonfire, grill and swing. The owner was very responsive and a great host!! We enjoyed our visit and are definitely planning on returning next year for a longer stay!

Loved our stay at the Russell Retreat!
My family and I enjoyed our stay so much! This beautiful home was perfectly described. The home was fully stocked with everything that was needed during our stay. It was SUPER clean too! Beds were comfortable including the best pillows in the master bedroom. Beach access was minutes away. We enjoyed grilling & s’mores every night out back & mornings on the screened in front porch. Very quiet & nice private community with welcoming neighbors. Thanks for being such an accommodating host! We would love to come back again!

Wonderful weekend stay
We had a great time at Lake Gaston at the Russel Retreat! The home was clean and well organized and had plenty of room for us to unpack and settle in. The neighborhood was quiet and we loved having access to a private boat ramp and beach area. The owners were wonderful and responded quickly when we had an issue with the air mattress and sent a new one over the next morning. It was too warm to use the fire pit out back but the screened front porch was wonderful to sit and drink my coffee in the morning. We will definitely visit again!
