Wake Up to Nature’s Magic at Golden Kettle Cottage

Waking up at Golden Kettle Cottage is a peaceful, soul-soothing experience. After a restful night in one of our cozy beds, you’ll head to the kitchen for that essential first cup of coffee. A full-size 12-cup duo coffee maker stands ready—perfect whether you want a full pot or just a single serving. We provide a variety of coffee and tea to start your day right.

Wrap one of our luxurious throws around your shoulders, cradle your warm mug, and step onto the spacious deck. The morning air is crisp and fragrant with the scent of the woods. Sunlight glimmers across the lake, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of white pelicans floating by. (Note: Spring and summer bring beautiful greenery, though some lake views are partially obscured compared to fall and winter.)

Surrounded by nearly two acres of forest, it’s common to spot deer, vibrant blue jays, cardinals, or our resident chipmunk, Theodore. Evenings are just as magical—spend them around the firepit or chiminea, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars.

Water Adventures Await

Bringing a boat? There’s ample space in our circle driveway, and a natural boat ramp is just half a mile away. Please note: the water at nearby ramps can be shallow and lacks a dock. For deeper access, public ramps near Grove/Honey Creek (15 minutes away) are a better bet.

You’ll also find a peaceful “beach” area at the point, ideal for swimming and kayaking. Two kayaks are provided—just bring your own life jackets and transport them the short half-mile down the road to the water. Cooler weather? Don’t miss the stunning sunsets at the point, even if you're not getting wet!

Comfort Meets Functionality

The cottage sleeps up to six guests comfortably and features an open-plan living space with plenty of seating and lake views. Curl up in front of the electric fireplace and watch your favorite shows on the 55” smart TV.

The fully equipped kitchen includes:

Full-size fridge
Gas stove
Microwave
Air fryer
Blender, toaster, food processor
Waffle maker
That fabulous duo coffee maker

Enjoy meals or games at the dining table for six.

Sleeping Arrangements:

Master Bedroom: Plush queen bed, queen sleeper sofa, Pack-N-Play, and a second smart TV

Meadow Room: Queen daybed with queen trundle + a cozy hanging egg chair, perfect for reading

Need to check in at work? A dedicated workspace includes a desk, lake view, printer, and keyboard. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the home.

Washer and dryer included for your convenience.

Enjoyed our stay

The property was very clean and was well stocked with spices, coffee and tea. The owners have thought of all that we could possibly need. Our fur boys enjoyed it too. The loved seeing all the deer come in to the yard. The fire pit was nice. It was a very remote area, so if you need to shop for anything, it is a 30 minute drive to town. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you for everything.

Lovely retreat!

A few friends used the house for a “reading retreat” where we read, napped, cooked, and ate together for a few days, and it was wonderful! One of the most well-stocked and homey house rentals I’ve ever experienced. Hosts were very reliable and communicative.

Great place

I loved the place very nice and quiet… unfortunately I did have a problem with bugs … I’m not one to kill just everything I see but I killed 3 roaches, a mole cricket that was on the bed and I let the spiders go… I understand it’s a country setting but not about some bugs on the counters..,

About the host

Host profile image
Traveling, experiencing hidden gems, new adventures, and making memories....that is my passion. When we aren't traveling, I'm dreaming of travel and planning trips that may or may not ever happen (but planning is half the fun). Our other favorite hobby is kayaking and time on the lake. For years we have dreamed of owning a lake home of our own that we could share with others who have the same passion for travel and relaxing on the peaceful lake. We are so excited to make that dream a reality and to share the Golden Kettle Cottage with you!

We know the importance of quality family time, a friends' getaway, or even some solitude to connect with nature and we want to share our Cottage with you in hopes that we can play a part in your unforgettable adventures. We'll even make sure you know where all the "hidden gems" are (did I mention I love planning vacations?).

Why they chose this property

The Golden Kettle Cottage is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy quality time with loved ones. With its cozy amenities and special touches, it provides a welcoming atmosphere for a relaxing getaway. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare delicious meals and create memorable dining experiences together.

The plush towels and cozy blankets ensure comfort and coziness during your stay. The swinging egg chair adds a touch of whimsy and provides a perfect spot to curl up with a book or simply enjoy the surroundings. The "Leave a Book/Take a Book" library adds an extra element of charm, allowing you to discover new literary treasures or share your favorite reads with others.

While the indoor amenities are delightful, the real beauty of the Golden Kettle Cottage lies in its connection to nature. The large deck offers a space to soak in the fresh air and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Whether you choose to relax on the deck, gather around the fire ring for a cozy evening, or take a leisurely stroll down to the secluded beach, you have plenty of options to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.

No matter the weather or your mood, the Golden Kettle Cottage promises peace and tranquility that will touch your soul. It provides an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature and loved ones. Whether you seek adventure or simply want to unwind and recharge, this cottage offers a serene retreat where you can create lasting memories.
