It is 10 minutes from restaurants, 30 minutes from Detroit Lakes, 45 minutes from Fargo, and 3.5 hours from the Twin Cities. The Space: This spacious lake house sleeps 11 in 8 beds (1 king, 2 queen, 3 twin, 2 twin upper bunks) across four bedrooms named after Scandinavian countries. A 12th person can spend the night using the roll-away bed or couches (all new). (Groups of more than 15 during the day require advance permission.) \-Norway Room: 1 King Bed \-Iceland Room: 2 Twin Beds \-Sweden Room: 1 Queen Bed \-Denmark Room: 2 bunk beds (one twin over twin and one twin over queen) The house was updated in 2022-23\. It has two full baths (one with a bathtub/shower, one with just a shower), a large kitchen, W/D, dishwasher, wifi, and two new smart TVs. Relax on two second-floor decks: one to the east for sunrise through the forest, one to the west for gorgeous nightly sunsets over the lake. Turtle Lake is ideal for swimming, fishing, and boating. Public access is nearby. Bring your boat and kayaks! Roast marshmallows and stare up at the cathedral-like oak canopy above the fire pit. Along with the grill, the fire pit overlooks the lake and its spectacular evening hues. In autumn and winter, curl up by two indoor fireplaces. Very cozy in the winter, this lake retreat offers great cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. Detroit Mountain is a 30-minute drive away and offers downhill skiing and tubing. The Hill House is quiet and secluded. It has a 500-foot private wild shoreline, with forest on two other sides. Nestled in the woods at the end of a quiet road, there is zero traffic. The lawn is massive. A magical winding path leads down the rustic hillside to the new dock. Pause at the towering Cottonwood tree to watch Bald Eagles roost and fish. Walk the hilltop Edge Walk at dusk, and then stargaze in the open embrace of your own private meadow. Guest Access: Guests will have access to the entire property for the duration of their stay, with the exception of a few locked storage areas. The Neighborhood: Turtle Lake is a quiet lake that is an easy drive from Fargo (45 min), Detroit Lakes (30 min), and 10 minutes from restaurants and convenience stores. Getting Around: You'll need to drive here, but there is plenty of room for parking for several vehicles. The boat access for the lake is on the north side of the lake. Follow the signs at the turn off for the cabin. Interaction with Guests: Your host, Noah, is available before and during your stay via message, text, or cell. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117070000/117064800/117064751/c992b6fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cotton Lake Cabin, Detroit Lakes Rochert - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 7.0 Good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=117064751&PinnedHotelID=117064751&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105300000/105299200/105299190/583adfeb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ravenswood on Lake Melissa Detroit Lakes Detroit Lakes - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=105299190&PinnedHotelID=105299190&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117980000/117976400/117976340/138b5136.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### West Lake Drive, Detroit Lakes Detroit Lakes - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=117976340&PinnedHotelID=117976340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117160000/117151400/117151353/33eccf41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Big Mcdonald get away Dent - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=117151353&PinnedHotelID=117151353&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111900000/111892300/111892264/bb5399bc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Executive Long Lake Home, Detroit Lakes Detroit Lake - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=111892264&PinnedHotelID=111892264&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111600000/111598500/111598466/67a6946d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Renovated 2-bedroom lake home on private lake minutes from countless amenities Frazee - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=111598466&PinnedHotelID=111598466&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120260000/120251700/120251630/70585d07.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Seven Home, Frazee MN Frazee - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=120251630&PinnedHotelID=120251630&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115260000/115254400/115254335/w1179h910x0y0-94ef6e66.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New!

House was very clean and in a great area. Owner has the home very well appointed with all the necessities, appliances and kitchen equipment you may need. We didn’t get much time to enjoy the external property but it was well kept and expansive. You can tell the owners care about their guests having a nice relaxing time when staying at the house. ##### Ryan F. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Makenna Q.

Not worth the money The location is nice, but the house itself is old and has a noticeable odor. The washroom is dirty, with stains in the toilets, bathtub, and a metallic smell in the water. All the rooms have odors and are not clean. The decor and the overall condition of the house are outdated.The website showed pictures of water toys, but when we arrived, there were none. If they don't offer water toys, they should update the website's pictures. My kids were really looking forward to water activities but ended up very disappointed. Overall, this cabin is dirty and not worth the money. ##### Sarah C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott B. Sep 7, 2025 ##### Scott B.
