About this property

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!

Fantastic Otter Tail Lake Home

Couldn’t ask for more. Spacious. Kids had a blast. Swam every day with no issues. Cooking facilitates top notch. Caught fish. Popped over to Zorbaz. Very secluded from neighbors. Easy to get to. True paradise.

Excellent family getaway!

This home and location was perfect for our family trip. We had 7 adults and 3 kids; there was plenty of space for all! The property was spacious and felt very private. The yard and beach were perfect for kids to spend all day outside. The kitchen was more than well stocked and the entire place had everything we needed for our 7 day vacation and was very clean when we arrived. We did bring our family ski/wake boat and had no issues anchoring it near the dock. If you are looking for a family getaway on a quiet side of Otter Tail, this is it. The hosts were great, responsive, and accommodating to any needs or questions we had.

Perfect for a family getaway

Beautiful property on a gorgeous lake. The beds were comfortable, the lake house was well-stocked, it was clean and spacious. Lots of out door space for the kids to play and multiple other outdoor sitting areas. The owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property
