This cottage was perfect for our family vacation at the lake this year. It was well stocked with all the essentials for adults and children too. Everyone was impressed. We especially loved the location of this property. It was located off the main road but had waterfront views and grass for the kids to play. The hosts were very accommodating and readily available whenever we had questions. We hope to come back and visit again. Thank you for everything

This cottage is adorable and offers so many extras we weren’t expecting! It’s the perfect location on the lake and being able to dock our boat right at the house made the stay even more enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again.

My friends and I stayed at the Golden Retreat in February 2025. We were looking for a place close to metro Detroit, on the water & affordable and this place ticked all the boxes. Place was cozy, comfortable and had all of the basic necessities we needed for our getaway. We loved painting in the sunroom after breakfast everyday and even ventured out onto the frozen lake one day. It was fun watching people snowmobiling or cross country skiing on the lake. Hopefully next time we’ll check out a place that rents out snowmobiles. Hosts were super communicative & friendly. We decided to add an extra stay to our vacation because we just weren’t ready to leave. Ours hosts were very accommodating. Overall a perfect place to relax, read with my book club girls, paint & catch up on each other’s lives. Highly recommend this property and can’t wait to go back!

This lake home was a great pet friendly place to stay with our two dogs during a major home renovation. Our hosts were wonderful with their correspondence and with helpful notes within the home. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

This is a darling cottage on a beautiful lake that has been nicely renovated, keeping much of its original charm but also modern updates. It was spotless, with so many thoughtful touches throughout, making our stay perfect (3 friends getting away for a weekend of reading, catching up, and relaxing - without kids or partners!). The weather was gorgeous when we were there (mid-October) so we were able to take advantage of the excellent outdoor seating. One of us even kayaked! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. There isn't a dishwasher but washing up was no problem. There's an excellent supply of dishes and cookery and it's of good quality. The beds were comfy, the linens nice and very clean. The couches and chairs were comfy for laying around all day in reading and watching TV. The bathroom is small but it was just fine for a few days and the water pressure was good. Plus there is room in each bedroom for your toiletries etc. I especially appreciated all the hooks for hanging clothes & towels! And the charging lamps in the bedrooms are a great touch too! Checking in and out was a breeze as was finding the place. We would absolutely stay here again.

Golden Retreat was so charming, and located in a beautiful area. Furnishings and decor were just so comfortable and cozy! We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to spend a week, with the lake right outside our door. We only had one problem, which was taken care of immediately and we really appreciated that. Thank you, Colton and Kristi for a great week. p.s. we had hoped to meet your puppies, but maybe next time! Valerie and Dave

This is our setting time starting at this hidden gem and we will be back! Beautifully situated on the south shores of Devils Lake. Cozy, cute place with all of the amenities you need for your stay. Amazing with the amount of room in this little cottage. Perfect place for us to hang out with family, have some good meals, play some games and enjoy the views. We will be back!!!

The cottage was a wonderful retreat with a stunning view! Colton was incredibly responsive anytime I had to reach out and so kind. I was able to have my dog with me and it was so nice to walk in and find a dog bed and dog towels available! I hope to return for future visits!

This location on the lake is so quiet and less busy than many areas of Devils Lake. House was perfect and the owners are awesome. Mostly I appreciated being able to bring my 2 dogs who loved it just as much as we did. We will be back!!!!

Location is great - on the water with great back deck and sunroom. 5 min from a nice coffee / ice cream shop. owners left floats for our kids which was a great surprise! Also left us with lots of essentials in case we forgot. They had a board up with all the things to do around town. We loved it!

What a greeting! we arrived to Mother's Day flowers, balloon, and lovely welcome card from the owner. you truly feel like this is your home. Every amenity I could think of was provided. Our son brough his two Frenchies and there were doggie gates provided so we could keep them on the deck and not worry . I would rebook in a heartbeat, and it was our second visit, sure to book again!

Due to a last minute change in our travel plans, we needed a cottage on short notice and Kristi was very kind and accommodating. The cottage is just lovely and more open and spacious than you would imagine with a beautiful view of the lake. Would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely consider a return visit in the future.

We rented The Golden Retreat for the Easter weekend so we could spend time as a family with our daughter who is attending college in the area. Perfect setup for us to get together as a family and even have a few guests over for Easter dinner. As a bonus, we were able to bring our dog StanLee with. Cute little cabin with plenty of upgrades and modern amenities to make our stay a perfect weekend. We will definitely be returning!!!

Great Vacation - Thank You!

Great Vacation - Thank You!

Our family spent a week here in early June and we had a great time. The house was very comfortable, clean, and had everything one could need for a relaxing get-away. I was especially impressed by all the board games, kids toys, and water toys, as well as the way everything was clearly labeled with extra amenities like toothpaste and toothbrushes in case you forget yours. You can really tell that the owner wants to make things easy and make sure you have a good time. The shallow beach was perfect for my 4 year old boys and also my teenager. We rented a boat and did some inner tubing and parked out on the sandbar. Watching sunsets from the deck at the end of the day might have been my favorite part though. All around: excellent. We had a fantastic time and would love to do it again. Thank you so much, Kristi!

Larger than a cottage, very nice beds, great mattresses, lots of pillows. Only thing lacking was the shower head is a little low for someone taller than 5 1/2 feet. Very clean. Would stay here again.

We had a wonderful time, the cottage is super cute, and having stayed at multiple VRBO’s the thoughtful details at this one were by far the best we have seen!! Everything you could need was considered, from little treats, to bathroom supplies, games- board and corn hole, and even water toys and clean nice floats for the kids! It was super cozy, and the location and water access was fantastic and great for the children! The property manager was super helpful in planning and during the stay! I would hands down recommend this place and we hope to come back!

Kristi and Colten were wonderful hosts. They thought of everything that we may have needed during our stay. The cottage was beautiful and clean. If I had a question regarding our stay Kristi was quick to respond. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our vacation with our small children.

This cottage was perfect, and the hosts were the most thoughtful vacation rental hosts we have ever met. They thought of everything and we felt like special guests. They were so easy to talk to and were very responsive to all of our questions. Great wifi which so important now with remote working. They made such my family and our dog were treated like family. Loved the lake, it was quiet and beautiful. We were able to dock our boat right there and Kristi and Colton were so helpful with that part too event though that was above and beyond. We would love to stay at the Golden Retreat again!!

Not a good experience

Not a good experience

Overall the property was nice and clean in a good location. Unfortunately we felt uncomfortable and we left early. Two family members were on the outside back deck smoking cigarettes. The owner walked up and was very upset and reminded us that smoking anywhere on the property was against the rules. My mother and brother repeatedly apologized and promised it would not happen again. 10 minutes later she returned and told my family members they needed to leave immediately. No warning, no reminder, just get out. I understand our guest broke a rule however having the owner kick out my family because they were smoking a cigarette outside seems a bit extreme. After this incident we felt very unwelcome so we packed up and left the next morning ending our vacation early.

The communication was awesome. We felt welcome before we even arrived. Beautiful lake and accommodations. The personality touches gave it the “I’m at home” feeling. We met the neighbors. They were super friendly and offered to take us out on the lake. So a wonderful tour was delightful. This is a place I would bring my family. Many sitting places to choose from as well as eating places. This would be perfect for couples to get away and enjoy grown up time also. We will definitely be back. Kathy and Paul

This is a real gem. The owners went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and relaxing, including leaving fresh fruit and a bottle of wine for us. The lake is beautiful and the house is designed so nice we didn’t want to leave! Everything was clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!
