Reviews of Fireside Winter Retreat--Perfect for Rest & Reset – 6th Night FREE! highlight a peaceful, cozy escape with lake views, an exceptionally well‑equipped kitchen, and responsive hosting with smooth check‑in that make short getaways easy.
Guests repeatedly mention the quiet, wooded setting and privacy, while noting the home sits in a rural area with a windy or gravel drive and a longer trip to shops. Several appreciate lake access and outdoor seating on the porch or deck; a few mention provided kayaks, though shoreline access is not direct. Feedback on cleanliness is consistently positive, though one guest reported encountering bugs. Expect a serene, self‑catered stay best suited to those seeking seclusion.

We had a short weekend with all three of our grown kids. This house was perfect. The hosts thought of EVERYTHING! It was pet friendly and she even had a kennel in the laundry room! I've never seen this before. Our biggest surprise was the water filter pitcher in the fridge bc we forgot to bring water bottles. The house is remote, so there's no running to the convenience store. We sat out on the front deck for coffee each morning. The house was emaculate with plenty of bedding (and then some)! We've stayed at a lot of vrbo's for travel softball, but we've never had such a stocked kitchen before with kcups, spices, olive oil, etc. She provided two kayaks, but we just stuck with our paddle boards. We had a great time and would most definately return.

Sara, was an excellent host, great communication to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was exactly as listed. Lots of space to spread out. It was a great Fall view from the front yard. Lake access is a little ways down the road. We really enjoyed our stay!

Wow, This is one of the nicest Lake-house VRBOs that we have stayed in. An exceptionally well stocked kitchen which included cooking oil, spices, coffee and coffee filters and a filtered water pitcher provided for our use. Sara has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and convenient. The house was very clean and the deck had plenty of seating. The listing was very accurate So there were no surprises. The house is very private and in a rural area so not close to shopping but we prepared for that. We would definitely consider a second stay.

Sara made sure everything was ready for us. We had a relaxing visit. The decorations are beautiful and relaxing. There were so many little details that made our trip special. From cute folded towels to gorgeous dishes we felt so special. Everything was perfect. We loved the big porch with tons of seating. We were in need of nothing but our food. The linens, towels, and shower supplies are nice quality. We felt like royalty. The ladies are still talking about our stay. We needed a place to relax and spend time together. The directions were spot on and checking in was easy. Sara messaged us to make sure we didn’t need anything during our stay. We loved looking for kettles and had a visit from the chipmunk.

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.

Although I only got to call Golden Kettle Cottage home for a few days, it definitely felt like home. Very clean (and I am OCD about clean), very relaxing and the view was so peaceful. I even had one stormy night that added to the the ambiance. Sara was so kind and easy to communicate with before, during and after my stay. Highly recommend.

Sara's cottage was perfect for us! We could tell that thought, love, and effort was put into every detail of the space. The beds were so comfortable, towels super soft, great little workspace, kitchen very organized with all possible accessories, and everything felt clean and new - but still homey and welcoming. Highly recommend!!

We have been to Grand Lake several times but never stayed here. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we found ourselves with out-of-town friends and no Fourth of July holiday plans. I reached out to Sara with some questions about the cottage and she was so quick to respond. She answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable about bringing company to a place we had never personally stayed. The cottage looked just as advertised. There were no surprises and we had everything we needed and more. Sara has done a great job with the "little" things. We had a blast!

Sara, was an excellent host, great communication to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was exactly as listed. Lots of space to spread out. It was a great Fall view from the front yard. Lake access is a little ways down the road. We really enjoyed our stay!

Wow, This is one of the nicest Lake-house VRBOs that we have stayed in. An exceptionally well stocked kitchen which included cooking oil, spices, coffee and coffee filters and a filtered water pitcher provided for our use. Sara has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and convenient. The house was very clean and the deck had plenty of seating. The listing was very accurate So there were no surprises. The house is very private and in a rural area so not close to shopping but we prepared for that. We would definitely consider a second 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.

The house was a perfect retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was a bit far from the closest town, but if you want to be secluded and away this is the place for you. Great hosts and beautiful home!

We wanted a getaway that was peaceful and quiet and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. The owners thought of everything from spices to coffee to pots and pans to soap to cozy blankets. We will definitely be back!
