Ottertail Lakefront 3BR. Boat lift. Cozy. Awesome!

🥰 Wonderful! Thanks Andrea. Glad you all had a fantastic time in our cabin, and that everything was in good shape and 'as advertised! No surprises, just a relaxing lake getaway! So happy the Little Red Cabin treated you well and that the fishing and lake life delivered. Thank you for the kind words and the wonderful 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the cabin? Or ready to set up a return to the lake? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying at our family cabin! 👍

🥰 Wonderful! Thanks Stacey. "Cozy cabin RIGHT on the water" — that's our Little Red Cabin in a nutshell, and I'm so glad it was the quiet, relaxing lake getaway you were after! And thank you for the local tips for future guests — Dollar General and Carr's cover the necessities, and you're right, there's plenty nearby to eat, shop, and explore when you're not on the deck watching the lake. We like Thumper Pond's restaurant, and the WIlliams Store for coffee, and great breakfasts and sandwiches! Its almost a daily bike ride for us! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the cabin? Or ready to set up a return to the lake? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying at our family cabin! 👍

🌊 Woohoo! Thanks so much for your review, Tom! 😎 Super glad you had a fantastic time enjoying the gorgeous lakefront location and that our family cabin’s cozy, comfortable, lived-in vibe was just right for your stay! Sorry you had any issues with the plumbing (and a screen?)! You mentioned on arrival that some of the water wasn’t getting hot, and we found one of the heaters (there are two) was misbehaving. A local plumbing company came out the next morning, replaced an element, and confirmed everything was working perfectly. We also reached out to check in, but didn’t hear back — we hope you were still enjoying all the fun on the water and around Ottertail! That said, we didn’t see any other issues, especially with fixtures, so if there was something else, please reach out so we can address it for the next guest or your return trip! ;-) Ditto on the screens — we didn’t have any communication from you about them (and it wasn’t on our radar from past guests), but we sent someone to check just in case! And of course, on any future visits, let us know right away, like you did with the heater, so we can fix it johnny-on-the-spot! It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the deck, the lake views, and the overall experience. 🏡💛 We’d be thrilled to host you again anytime, and we can’t wait to share the amazing Ottertail Lake and river access with future guests looking for that perfect lakeside getaway! Reach out when ready to return! 🙏

🌊 Hi Scott! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, and I’m thrilled to hear you loved our cabin and had a fantastic time enjoying the lakefront location! 😎 I was surprised by some of your comments, so I gave you a call — and it was great to hear directly that the home itself was absolutely perfect for your stay. Just to clarify a few things for anyone reading: our listing and pre-arrival materials explicitly note the narrow road and lack of a turnaround, and we provide a nearby spot for boats and trailers to avoid exactly the type of challenge you experienced. We also always check in with guests who indicate they’re bringing a boat. When you messaged through VRBO right before check-in that you couldn’t locate the check-in info, we immediately re-sent entry info through VRBO, noted that our direct messages (which always come via email) sometimes land in spam/junk, and asked you to confirm finding them since they contain lots of great info, recommendations, and more — but unfortunately, we never got a reply. The info in those alone would have made the trailer and dock setup smoother and less stressful. I would have been happy to answer any questions too and provide suggestions but didn’t see any communication about any of this during the stay.  Regarding the river channel, yes, the entrance is naturally shallow, but fully navigable with a little care — as countless guests (and our family) have enjoyed all summer. Knowing the line to take and easing in slowly makes all the difference. We’re always happy to share tips to make boating effortless for first-timers or return visitors alike. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the cabin itself — cozy, clean, and perfectly situated for deck views, kayaking, and relaxing by the water. 🚤🏡 We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Next time, just reach out during your stay, and we can make your visit completely seamless — helping with the trailer, the dock, or any of the small learning curves that come with lakefront living. Can’t wait to host you again at Ottertail for more amazing memories on the water!
