Beautiful retreat with lake views from almost every room! Easy entertaining with full kitchen amenities on main floor and lower level kitchenette and wet bar. Keep cooking simple on the gas grill and eat outside at the full dining area on the upper patio! Great for families! One upstairs open entertainment area boasts a floor to ceiling gas stone fireplace accented by a wall of windows lakeside. The cozy downstairs gathering area has a wood burning fireplace, game table, and workout equipment with walk-out easy lake access. Both areas have high quality Samsung smart TVs. This homey retreat is climate controlled for comfort in EVERY season. Share a cup of coffee on the inviting front patio in the morning sun. French doors lead to a stunning sunroom with windows on 3 sides! Access to 100' of lakeshore offers the opportunity to swim, paddleboard or fish in the water right off the dock during the summer or ice skate, snowshoe or cross country ski in the winter and enjoy an evening making memories (and s'mores!) around a firepit all year round. Relax in one of 2 bedrooms on the main level or choose one of the cozy bedrooms downstairs. There is plenty of room to be all together or find your own little nook to read, listen to music or unwind.

This lakehome is BIG on lake hospitality conveniently located close to Ottertail City, Battle Lake, Perham, Fergus Falls each with great little shops, coffee and ice cream spots and restaurants. Zorbaz on the Lake and Beach Bums with live music throughout the summer are popular spots on Ottertail Lake. Golfing at Balmoral or Thumper Pond is another fun activity-both within a 10 minute drive. Easy access off Highway 78 and within a short driving distance to two State Parks-Glendalough and Maplewood-that offer hiking, walking and biking trails. Also near the Ottertail River-known for its lazy afternoon tubing.

There is an optional electric boat lift (max capacity 3100 lbs) for those who choose to bring their own boat. Public boat launch is only minutes away. We also have information from several partners about renting a boat/pontoon/wave runner/kayak for an afternoon, day or your entire stay!

We truly want to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as we possibly can. Please let us know if you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or something special so we can help make it even better!

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!

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.
