Lots of space to relax

Property was beautiful and well maintained. We liked the space where everyone could relax. The sunroom was our favorite. The driveway was a little tricky with a boat and trailer but other than that this is a perfect place for a family getaway.

Fun for all ages at The Wavefront Retreat

The whole family, ages 4+, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wavefront Retreat. The kids especially loved the cool bunk room! The many inviting and comforting accommodations made us all feel right at home. The glorious lake views (especially at sunset) were perfection! Many memories were made during our stay, and we will definitely recommend the Wavefront Retreat to others!

Family Lake vacation

Nice and roomy house with beautiful lake views. Difficult to maneuver boat/pontoon trailers in driveway and frontage road. Beach would have been decent but swimmers itch from day one prevented use of it.

Something for everyone

Great spaces, upstairs or downstairs there is room for everyone to enjoy their time together or doing their own thing. The lakeshore had room for all too. We had two boats at the dock and that worked great also. The only problem was parking the boat trailers, not enough space to turn around or park. Luckily the neighbors weren't home.

Creating family legacy

My family came to stay at Tara's beautiful home for the second year in a row - and it was wonderful. I grew up coming to this very lake as a kid and we decided to reconnect to honor my mom after passing in 2021, as this was her favorite place to be. Tara was such a gracious and thoughtful host! She communication was quick and helpful and the home is well appointed for all ages. The kids loved having the floaties and paddle board, and the adults enjoyed all the outdoor spaces and versatile gathering spaces inside. We love our time here and are hopeful to make this a new family tradition!

Highly Recommend!

We enjoyed our trip to Otter Tail Lake! The house was the perfect size for our family gathering. Communication with Tara was fantastic. She warned us about the potential for Swimmer’s Itch based on the guest before us, and gave us tips to try and avoid it. Fortunately, we did not experience any issues and all kids and adults spent time in the lake. The home was clean and comfortable. Just as described! The owners provided firewood and many other extras, such as lake floaties and yard games. Great stay!

Perfection on the water

The house was spacious, clean and perfect for our week long stay. The yard was great, lake toys were a bonus. The view of the lake from the windows was beautiful. The beds were comfortable, we loved sitting in the sunroom. Plenty of parking, the road is too tight to turn a boat around in unless you are a master at it but the public boat launch is about 3 miles away and a really nice launch. Truck and empty trailer for fine at the house. Tara was amazing to work with, friendly, kind and prompt to return messages. She went above and beyond to help us out when our boat broke down on day 2 of 7. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone.

High-end comfort with all the amenities and first class owner-management!

The lake house and our experience renting this property was about perfect! We had the best time! The lake house is beautiful, as well as clean, spacious, and comfortable. We were in the water every day - on the paddle board or floaties provided. Or we just relaxed on the dock during the day and by the firepit at night. My dad brought his boat and put it in at the public landing down the road. The use of the lift made it so easy. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed to make meals together. Town was just a hop skip away to go get a pie and some minnows for fishing! The check in and check out process was simple but thorough and secure. Tara, the owner, is absolutely lovely and went out of her way to welcome my family and me here. This lake house and our experience here are the best of what VRBO has to offer! Thank you, Tara. We will always be so grateful for the wonderful memories we made here as a family!

This is a wonderful property: large, clean, well-maintained, great yard. The owner had a welcome gift and was easy to communicate with.
