BEAUTIFUL LAKEFRONT COTTAGE!! ☀️ KAYAKS! CLEAR SANDY BOTTOM

Very sweet spot and a comfortable, home-like feel. I would definitely stay again.

This was my second time staying at the Golden Retreat with my girlfriends and it was just as wonderful as the last time we stayed. We spent 4 nights here to celebrate a long Galentine's weekend. This house is the perfect little cozy cottage to gather with loved ones and take a break from reality. The views of the icy lake were great and Kristi is always VERY responsive to messages. We've stayed here twice in February but hope to book it again in the spring/summer to enjoy some outdoor time on the lake. Thank you again for your hospitality and attention to detail 3

We loved this home! Beautiful views, quiet location, and clean! This sweet house had everything you need.. comfortable beds and linens, full kitchen and cozy furniture. We were there in November, but I can only imagine how lovely it would be in the summer. So charming!

Perfect weekend getaway for a girl's trip! Exactly what we needed to escape our day to day as school administrators. We will definitely return!

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.

Couldn't be happier with this cute little cottage! For the price it can't be beat... Awesome place!

Super cute, cozy cottage! Great Location and view. Very pleasant.

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

Great location, beautiful view of the lake, and well maintained property. The house is well decorated athe listing very accurate, and we really enjoyed our time at the cottage.

Great location and comfortable furnishings! Devils Lake is the BEST!
