You can use anything and everything in the cottage! We are fully stocked!

Your kids and dogs can play freely! You have access to the whole cottage, the yard, the water, and the 110 ft dock - bring a boat, rent one, or simply enjoy our clear shallow swimming area!

We do weekly rentals (Saturday-Saturday) during the Summer Season starting the Saturday before Memorial Day through Labor Day ☺️

Our guests have access to the LEFT side to dock a boat. We provide bumpers. Bring your own or rent one from Robs Rental - we recommend making a reservation well in advance as they book up fast.

Hidden Gem
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!!!

Beautiful!
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!

Wonderful!!
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!!!!

Great place for family
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!

Perfect in every way!
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!

Excellent lakefront getaway
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.

Fantastic Weekend!!!
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!!!
