About this property

LAKESIDE PARADISE:6BR/12 Bed/3.5bath/Games/Swim/Bonfire/Arcade--Battle Lake 5min

Do you need a lake place where you can relax and gather with family & friends?

Pack Lighter:
- Furnished with appliances, cookware, dishes, utensils, and outdoor grill
- In-fridge and countertop ice machines
- Coffee (carafe and k-cups), crock pot, and cookie sheets
- Sheets, bedding, pillows, blankets all ready for you

A Short Drive:
And super clean Clitherall Lake is right up I-94 only 2.5 hours from downtown Mpls and less than 1.5 hours from Fargo. Head out on the highway and be our guest.

A Beautiful Lake:
Clitherall Lake is one of MN treasures! With a 6’-13' water clarity rating and great for swimming, fishing, & watersports.
Winter ice fishing, snowmobiling, sledding right on our lakeside hill!

Indoor Activities:
Concerned about the What-Will-The-Kids-Do-If-It-Rains-All-Week scenario? Our home has books, board-games, ping-pong, foosball, and even a stand-up arcade Pac-Man game!

Comforts of Home:
Pack less and use our washer and dryer. The 16-place dinnerware set will allow you to entertain and the smoothie/margarita blender, full set of cookware, coffee maker, iron, hair-dryers, etc. will add some of the comforts of home. With ice in the freezer door, start your stay with your favorite beverage.

And if you forgot something, you’re 5 miles away from a Dollar General, grocery store, and several bar & grills, etc.

Our Wi-Fi allows you to stream movies (or even if you need to sneak in a remote meeting).

Activities:
Bring your fishing rods. This is a pretty good walleye lake. Enjoy playing in the water, our swim mat, kayaks ,and paddle-boards. We have a few lifejackets, kids and adults (adjustable between the approx. 30”-52” chest range). Some like to bring golf clubs with several nearby courses. We’ve also got Corn-Hole boards, a fire-ring down by the lake, and room to run and play.

Bedrooms:
Let’s talk sleeping arrangements – Each bed has sheets and bedding:
- Four quintessential bedrooms
- one private den bedroom (with a fantastic view)
- one "bunk-bed room" with two sets of bunks

And the home still has interior locations for a quiet cup of morning coffee while the rest sleep! Or enjoy it on the deck, listening to the Loons.

Can't wait to have you over!

Amazing stay!

We had 15 of us in total stay here for a week. We had an absolute blast! The cabin is perfect for a large group! There were all the amenities a person could need- a lilypad, paddleboards and kayaks for the water, a nice coffee machine, a dishwasher, comfortable beds, ping pong table, arcade machine, foosball, kids picnic table, life jackets, and all the kitchen supplies you could need. Plus, it was just a short drive (5 minutes) to Battle Lake where there is a grocery store, gas station, liquor store, bait shop, ice cream shop, brewery, etc. The cabin is beautiful and very well kept. Definitely 10 out of 10 would recommend for a getaway.

Family Fun Weekend

We had extended family ranging in age from babies to great grandparents and there was enough room for all of us to be together and enough private spaces when we needed to be apart. The hosts did a great job of communicating and trying to make us feel at home and providing us with pertinent property information. Most of the beds are comfortable, sofa sleeper not so much, but that is to be expected. At this house we had a great time bonding as a family. We put together a ping pong tournament, the kids had a polar plung challenge in the cold morning lake and we loved the old school pacman games. Great place to get away!

Beautiful lake house

We had an incredible time at this VRBO rental! From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of fantastic. The host was communicative and kind, making sure we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. The house itself was perfect for our group, with comfortable beds for everyone and all the amenities you could ask for. The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to cook up some great meals together. We never had to worry about missing anything. What really stood out were the endless games and activities available at the house. There was something for everyone, and we were never bored for a moment. Whether we were enjoying a board game, trying out the paddle boards, or kayaking on the nearby water, there was always something fun to do. If you're looking for a place that offers comfort, convenience, and endless entertainment, this is the spot. We had a blast and can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Douglas Straus

We, Doug and Suzanne Straus have seven children (with six of the seven grown and gone) and, although we faced the standard parenting challenges, we loved raising them.

We fondly remember family vacations and set out to create a family-friendly venue to allow you the opportunity to experience the same.

Why they chose this property

We purposefully looked for a spacious property where friends and family would enjoy a relaxing time at the lake. It had the number of rooms and bathrooms to accommodate large families or multiple families. It also had a large enough yard for outdoor games and a nightly bonfire.

What makes this property unique

We then purposefully set up the home thinking "what if a husband/wife had young kids they wanted sleeping across the hall" or "what if the house was going to be pretty full and the parents would rather have their kids in their same room" or "what if there were a group of teens that didn't want to sleep outside the house" or "what if there were a bunch of teen boys that loved the idea of 'roughing it' in the bunkhouse by the lake".

Then it seemed fitting, with the ample room available, to provide fun if the weather was inclement so we set up a ping-pong table, a 55" foosball table, and an old Pac-Man arcade game.

We hope this location brings families closer and creates lasting memories.
