Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1975
Kurt and Scott Maethner are brothers who grew up in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Kurt is a businessman who has been living in the Battle Lake, Minnesota area since he graduated from Saint Cloud State University in 1988. Scott has been on active duty in the United States Air Force since he graduated from Concordia College (Moorhead, Minnesota) in 1990. Scott, his wife Terri and their three young children currently live in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Why the Owner Chose Battle Lake
Walhall has been in the Maethner family for over 30 years. The cabin was originally built in 1970 by a friend of the family. In 1975, Art and Judie Maethner (Kurt and Scott’s parents) purchased the cabin as a summer retreat. Art and Judie were both educators so the entire family was able to enjoy lengthy summer breaks while school was not in session. The Maethner family built many wonderful memories at this cabin throughout the years to include fishing, swimming, nature watching and relaxing. After Art and Judie retired and Kurt and Scott left home to start their own lives, the cabin saw increasingly less use. After Art passed away in 2006, Kurt and Scott purchased the cabin from Judie. They converted it to a vacation rental to allow others to experience this wonderful place.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Clitherall Lake is one of the cleanest and clearest lakes in Minnesota. If you are out on the lake fishing, you can see the bottom of the lake at a depth of 16 feet. You can literally see the fish come up to your hook to take a nibble. The area in which Walhall is located has been in tune with nature for many decades. Township, city, county and state government entities respect, appreciate and nurture our natural environment, keeping it as a top priority in all of their planning and development activities. The permanent residents of the area are also very good stewards of the environment. During your stay, you too will enjoy nature's blessings to include the ability to interact with a wide variety of wildlife. You will make friends with chipmunks and squirrels, observe otters, beavers and mink at work, and run across turtles swimming and sunning themselves. If you are a bird enthusiast, you will be able to observe many species to include loons, ducks, geese, robins, blue birds, finches, woodpeckers and many more. Fish that reside in lake Clitherall include walleye, sunfish, crappies, bass, and northern pike.

Walhall was the perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy spending time together. We loved watching sunsets over the lake, listening to the loons, feeding the friendly chipmunks, roasting hotdogs and s’mores in the fire pit and swimming in Lake Clitherall. We appreciate all of the time and care that has been invested to make Walhall an inviting vacation home. It was great to meet Kurt and to have a chance to visit with old friends in the area. Thank you for providing the ‘heavenly’ setting for a fabulous family vacation! The Oelwein Family. Cedar Falls, IA

We thought Walhall was lovely. Great pictures on the walls. Thanks for the flowers greeting us in the breezeway. I took many pics of the beautiful sunsets - we had awesome weather. we swam a lot and loved the lake it is so clear and no weeds off the dock. We were out in our pontoon everyday exploring a new part of the lake. Battle Lake is close by and lots of other places to go. Very Peaceful. Great fire pit and deck.

The month went by too quickly - The cabin worked very well. Loved the Otters loons chipmunks, woodchuck black mink and fishing from the dock. We had many fires, trips to town for ice cream, donuts from the bakery. A very enjoyable stay.

We are very fortunate that you have this retreat available for us to enjoy at the lake. We have rented cabins in the past and yours has everything a family would want for as great week at the lake. We enjoyed the lake and campfires at night. It has such peaceful surroundings and we are sure all will enjoy as we did here at Walhall! Scott & Lori and Alex & Eric

Your cabin is a wonderful place for a peaceful getaway -- even with the kids! Clitherall Lake is one of the cleanest lakes we have ever seen! All the personal touches (ketchup, mustard, soaps, etc.) are really great for quick stays! Very clean too! It was a wonderful time and we hope to visit again soon! Maybe for some cross-country skiing in the winter. Thanks again, Anna, Randy, Sam, Emma and Jacob Shay

This cabin is great – a very peaceful place to spend a family vacation. Highlights consisted of fishing off the dock with the kids, the campfires at night where we ate plenty of s’mores. Going into Battle Lake and swimming at the beach. Playing putt-putt golf and stopping at Grannys Pantry for a cone or dish of ice cream. It is just a great place to kick back and forget about all the stress life can produce. A special thanks to Kurt, Jacki, Scott & Terri for supporting a soldier returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and it makes me proud to serve for people like you. Joe, Amy, Maddie, Nate & Sophia Clay
