Great Stay

My family and I had a great time staying at this house. We had 8 adults in our group and had plenty of room for everyone. It was clean and as described. The weather was a little cool but we were able to get some fishing in and catch a few. We also were able to do some other activities in the area. The host gave us good information and was great at communicating when necessary. We plan on staying here again next year!

Three generation vacation

This property was perfect for our group of 5 adults and 6 children. Everything we needed to have a great vacation. We enjoyed the beach, lily pad, fire pit, kayak, beautiful decks, outdoor seating, blackstone grill and everything the home had to offer. The host was very accommodating and neighbors were great, too.

Great Rental property!

We chose to VRBO vs pulling our camper and was the best idea ever! Love the outdoor space! Amazing deck (no worry about splinters in your feet) w/patio seating and having use of a grill & Blackstone! Great fire pit area! Beach was good for swimming with kids (water level a bit low during our stay but had fun) The only draw back was the boat lift was to small for our boats so the guys had to trailer each night however they did like fishing the numerous lakes within a short distance of our location!

Very nice outdoor space!

Beautiful patio and view of lake with great grill for morning breakfast outdoors in a nice setting. Very quiet lake with a few kids having fun one afternoon, too cold for us to swim though. Our Mother/Daughter Annual outings feature cooking, eating, card-playing, shopping. The city of Ottertail is 5 miles away with one nice boutique. Plenty of sleeping areas and big kitchen. Owner was very friendly and communication good.
