The space
The Location

Lake country meets woodland oasis. Waters Edge Retreat is a peaceful getaway tucked away in the leaf hills. The property consists of 9 acres of mature oak forest surrounding the home, which provides the most serene privacy anyone could ever ask for. Let your dog run free while you enjoy the peace and quiet on the back deck! Driving in, you will follow winding roads deep into the woods which eventually brings you to your destination. The yard opens up to the cabin and just around the corner is a large backyard amongst the waters edge. Here you will realize how much privacy you truly have! Don’t forget to bring your fishing gear and spend a day out on the water reeling in some panfish or bass!


Bed & Bath

The space comfortably sleeps four guests, making it ideal for couples, friends, or families. The bedroom features one king-size bed and ample closet space. The couch in the living room folds out into a queen size bed and offers a direct view of the lake. What's better than waking up to the sunrise over the water?! Additionally we offer a convertible air mattress that can be used either as a king size bed or two individual twin size mattresses.

The home has one bathroom, which features a beautiful stone tiled shower and tub combo. Feel free to utilize the washer & dryer during your stay. Bath linens are provided.

A high top dining table is also nestled in the kitchen area that seats 4. A coffee pot (& filters) is also provided & ready to brew up your favorite cup of Joe!

Just steps outside the kitchen onto the deck, you will find a propane BBQ grill (propane provided), Blackstone Griddle w/ Air fryer and patio set - perfect for grilling and chilling! Not to mention, the best spot for early morning coffee or late-night beverages!

This property was a dream for my husband and I and our 2 sons! It was clean and well cared for! The cabin had everything we needed. The kayaks and canoe were used the whole stay! We caught small Blue Gill and Bass (and a few good sized Bass)! It is completely secluded and SO quiet. A nature lover’s paradise for sure - we saw deer, loons, cranes, turtles, and an eagle all on the property. It was the PERFECT getaway!

Long weekend get away

It was a nice cabin, but felt like it wasn’t clean. Bedroom floor had ants which were all over our bags. We found a mice nest with babies in the grill. We were also told we could swim, our boys and dogs were filled with leaches. Fishing wasn’t good, only caught a couple small pan fish. It was private until Sunday morning when a group of people and kids came to our dock kayaking. Be prepared to cut your own firewood as they didn’t have any precut, as they said they have firewood. Bring hand soap for bathroom and kitchen sink, as there wasn’t any. Location was beautiful and quiet. Communication with page was great.

Very private and quiet. The cabin was clean and comfy. It was perfect for just us 2 adults and our 2 dogs. The scenery was lovely and the porch was a great place to sit and read.The only thing I would suggest is maybe some more basic cooking spices be provided and the grill wasn't working when we stayed, although we loved using the blackstone in it's place anyway so that wasn't a big deal for us. We would definitely book this cabin again.

We are a family of 4 plus 3 large dogs. It was hard to find a place to accommodate all 7 of us but once we found this place, we knew this was it! The cabin was so clean and welcoming. It felt more like home than our actual home. We are all completely devastated to have to leave but will DEFINITELY be back as soon as we possibly can. I can’t say enough good things about our trip and our stay.

Peaceful. Quiet. Fun. Beautiful overlook to the lake. Exceptional privacy. Great value. Dog friendly. Easy access to town. Deck was convenient with gas grill and blackstone cooking.

Great location & cabin!

This is the perfect place if you want to get away from the world but be within a short drive to town. You are in the woods among trees, wildlife and water. There is a 2nd dock on the lake that looks to be new, but we never saw another human the entire time we were there. It was such a relaxing vaca, the perfect place to decompress from life and adulting. We had a small issue when we got there, Page & Blake were responsive and immediately fixed it for us. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful autumn retreat

This was the BEST cabin for our fall getaway! It was cozy, private, and quiet. The view of the lake from inside the cabin and from the backyard is spectacular. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, making cooking meals together a breeze. Our dog loved the yard and surrounding woods. The house was very clean and the host was responsive.

We had the most amazing time at this property! The area was very peaceful and the house had everything we needed to enjoy the lake and home cooked meals. The town Battle Lake was close by in case we needed to grab something we forgot from home. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and we hope to be back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Page G

Host profile image
Born & Raised in Ottertail County. We are a family of 3 that loves the outdoors and spending time with our 2 dogs, 1 cat and 20 chickens! We enjoy the water and can't wait to share our chunk of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property

Purchasing this property was a no-brainer for us! We wanted to find a space that we could help others build lifelong memories with plenty of privacy and endless fun! The cabin is tucked away in the rolling leaf hills which have a dense history and beautiful sights. As you drive to the cabin you will feel like you are deep in the woods, while still close enough to take advantage of the many local amenities!

Around here, our pets are part of the family! That's why it was extra important to us to be able to offer a pet-friendly location. With no nearby neighbors, your dogs are welcome to roam the grounds and have some adventures of their own!

What makes this property unique

Only house on the entire lake...must we say more?!

The house offers a beautiful covered patio with a lake view. Great for game nights, grilling and relaxing in peace and quiet!
