Fall Foliage Lake Retreat – 6th Night FREE!

🍁 Autumn Escape at The Golden Kettle Cottage

Wake up to the magic of fall at The Golden Kettle Cottage, where cozy comfort meets breathtaking lake views. After a restful night in one of our plush beds, start your morning with coffee from our full-size 12-cup duo coffee maker—whether you want a steaming pot to share or a single cup to sip solo. We provide a selection of coffee and tea to make mornings easy and inviting.

Step outside with your mug wrapped in a soft throw and breathe in the crisp autumn air. Golden leaves frame the lake, and if you’re lucky, you might spot white pelicans gliding by. Fall and winter offer the clearest views of the water, with fiery sunsets you won’t soon forget.

Nature & Wildlife

Nestled on nearly two acres, the cottage is surrounded by fall foliage and wildlife. Deer often wander through, while cardinals, blue jays, and our cheeky resident chipmunk, Theodore, make frequent appearances. Evenings are perfect for gathering around the firepit or chiminea—roast marshmallows, sip cider, and watch the stars.

Lake Adventures

If you’re bringing a boat, our circle drive has plenty of space. A natural boat ramp sits just half a mile away (best for smaller boats/shallow entry), while deeper access points with docks are available 15 minutes away near Grove/Honey Creek.

Want a quieter experience? Head to the “beach” point nearby for kayaking or just soaking in the sunset. Two kayaks are included—just bring life jackets and transport them the short distance down the road. Cooler days still make for stunning lakeside strolls.

Comfort & Amenities

Inside, you’ll find an open-plan living space with plenty of seating and a 55” smart TV. Curl up by the electric fireplace with a blanket and your favorite movie after a day outdoors.

The kitchen is fully equipped with:

Full-size fridge, gas stove, microwave

Air fryer, blender, toaster, food processor

Waffle maker & duo coffee maker

Gather for meals or games at the dining table for six.

Sleeping Arrangements:

Master Bedroom: Queen bed + queen sleeper sofa, Pack-N-Play, smart TV

Meadow Room: Queen daybed with queen trundle + a hanging egg chair for reading nooks

Need to balance work with play? A desk with a lake view, printer, and keyboard make remote work easy. High-speed Wi-Fi runs throughout. Washer and dryer included.

Local Flavor & Activities

You’re just 15 miles from Grove or Jay and 20 miles from Disney, OK. Fall brings festivals, pumpkin patches, and cool-weather fun alongside year-round favorites like Har-Ber Village, Oasis Animal Adventure, Zena Suri Alpaca Ranch, and SBH Stable. Check out our guide for more: https://linktr.ee/goldenkettlecottage

Pet-Friendly Retreat

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.

Our Golden Kettle Cottage 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.

Short Labor Day Weekend

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.

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..,
