About this property
Peaceful, private Ottertail Lake Retreat
Privacy is at a premium on this lake, and this home has it. If you are searching for a peaceful retreat on a premier lake in Ottertail County, you need to take a look at this tranquil five-bedroom home. Situated on the southwest shores of Ottertail Lake, you will find a huge 200’ sandy beach perfect for lounging or sand castle building. Trees provide a buffer between this home and the homes on either side. Ottertail Lake has excellent clarity for swimming, fishing, and recreational activities. Outdoor living is maximized with this home, with two decks, plus another deck to lounge on next to the beach. A large shady yard provides the privacy and serenity we all crave, with plenty of space for outdoor games. There are five bedrooms available in this home which sleeps at least 9 people comfortably. This home is a short six miles from the quaint and friendly town of Battle Lake, where you will find an impressive selection of dining establishments and many fun shops to browse. Six miles east is the charming town of Ottertail; a must if you're interested in a fun girls' day out shopping. Kayaks are available to enjoy a leisurely paddle along the picturesque shoreline. You will undoubtedly enjoy the convenience of boating up to two dining establishments without the hassle of finding parking space. Take a short bike ride to an ice cream shop along highway 78. Bring your clubs to play a round at Balmoral Golf Course, a beautiful 18-hole golf course, or Balmoral North, a par 3 course, which is less than two miles away. Head farther east for more golfing at Thumper Pond Golf Course, about six miles away, which also includes a hotel with a water park for entertaining the little ones on those rainy days. Be sure to visit beautiful Glendalough State Park and take a bike ride along the bike trail which leads to downtown Battle Lake. Beautiful Maplewood State Park is also a short drive away. Pack your bags and come; this home provides towels, sheets, beach lounge chairs, and plenty of dishes and cookware to meet all your basic needs. You will leave this home refreshed, satisfied, and ready to return next year!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Y.
The Young family has enjoyed this property since 1997. Steve is a realtor in the area, and Lisa is hoping to retire soon from teaching! We have a small cabin on the other side of the lake that we stay at while renting. . We sincerely hope you also find it to be a place of relaxation and happy memories just as we have!
Why they chose this property
You will not find a more private and peaceful property on this lake. The neighbors are great, the water is exceptionally clear, and the fishing is excellent. The lot is shady and the deck has part shade and part sun, perfect for everyone to sit and enjoy each other's company.
What makes this property unique
Our property is particularly unique due to the privacy it affords. We have 200 feet of sandy beach, with no visible neighbors on either side, due to the hedge of woods between us. We have one of the nicest beaches on Ottertail Lake; perfect for sunbathers, as well as children. The lake has a very gradual drop off; perfect for little ones to splash and play!
