We, parents, son, his wife and children had a good time on Cotton lake. This house had everything we needed. We were unable to rent a boat or kayaks. Having them available would have been even better. Some of the property pictures seem slightly misleading, assuming some furnishing and dock pictures were not updated. No big deal. Chris and Connie have a lovely vacation home to share.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug, 2021
All of our guest are well informed before booking that we are not a resort and do not provide boats or water toys, it's a huge liability issue. On that note the few guest in the past 15 years that have not brought a boats have all been able to rent one but they are in high demand during peak summer weeks.
We stayed here for a week with our children- It was a home away from home. The beach was only a few steps of the patio and it was a nice sandy beach with a dock for your boats or other summer toys. I would recommend this for your next vacation spot. Beautiful home and with a spectacular water front. I would definitely go back.

Fun summer!
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Cotton Lake cabin, where we stayed for 6 weeks this summer (2017). The owner (Chris) was very nice and was responsive to any needs that we had. Beautiful setting as well.

Very nice home-perfect for our family
Lovely home. Very convenient. Clean and tidy. Plenty of parking as we had 3 vehicles and a boat. Nice dock which worked out well for our boat. Quick access to Detroit Lakes(about 15 minutes). Great area for long walks. Nice sandy beach. Couldn't ask for more! Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Chris and Connie are caring hosts. Our stay was memorable!
