Location: Ottertail Lake, Minnesota, USA (Approx. 25 miles from Fergus Falls, MN -- 12 miles to Perham)
Accommodations: Cabin, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 8)
Enjoy a peaceful vacation retreat on the northeast shore of Ottertail County's largest and best fishing lake. This clean, cozy, knotty pine cottage is the perfect spot for a secluded respite from city life. The cottage sleeps six comfortably and is fronted by 50 feet of sand beach and nestled in a stand of adult trees 400 feet from the main road surrounding the lake. The kitchen was upgraded in 2008, a new wood floor was installed & all furniture was freshly painted in 2009. New gas fireplace installed in 2009.
Enjoy spectacular sunsets from a wraparound deck. The property includes a paved driveway through large trees leading to a detached two-car garage, and a walkway to the cottage. The bedrooms have two queen-size beds, bunk beds and a trundle bed. The remodeled kitchen is complete with cooking utensils and dishes.
This is a perfect venue for a variety of activities. It features outstanding fishing for walleye, northern, bass and crappie. Our cabin is just a half-mile from the DNR's east shore public boat launch. We have a dock and lift to accommodate large ski and fishing boats. The lake also is connected by the Ottertail River to a chain of lakes which makes for terrific canoeing and kayaking through fishing and wildlife viewing areas. It also is within a 12-mile radius of three 18-hole golf courses, including the award-winning Thumper Pond course, 1.5 miles from the cabin, and the popular 18-hole layout--Balmoral Golf Course--only 4 miles away.

I am more than impressed with your home...Clean, beautifully decorated and gave us a warm home-like feeling the moment the door opened. It is one of those homes you espect to smell apple pie coming through the door! Plenty of space for those with kids and I like the way the rooms are separated to accommodate different age groups.
