Lake AND River Cabin Ottertail Lake
43101 Pleasure Park Rd
24-05-24. NEW LISTING! This is our family cabin. This year for medical reasons the contingent of the family that usually uses it can t use it so we are offering it up last minute for the lucky folks who waited, and now get the PERFECT lake life cabin. And the first 2 bookings get 20% off (a discount already calculated in the listings). Long term stays!? Yes. Inquire. We are super flexible. This is not our first rodeo... we have a great beach homes in Alabama, but this is our first time rentng our family cabin on Ottertail! Act fast! Won t last...
Wow! Be on Ottertail and ALSO have a boat dock on Ottertail River (the ). Cute, cozy, 3 bedroom RIGHT on Ottertail Lake. AMAZING view and direct access to Ottertail Lake! Sleeps up to 10. Full kitchen, living room, nice sunroom, and THAT deck. Wow. It may be the BEST lake deck on the best lake in Minnesota (IMHO!). :-)
The is a quintessential cabin for living the ultimate relaxed lake life. Lake Cabin that s this. Cozy. Comfy. And the lake is RIGHT THERE all the time, from most rooms. Ah, now I want to leave my home town and head back myself right now..... AND the lake? Ottertail is a truly wonderful lake for ALL water activities. Swim, boat, ski, jetski, windsurf, fish, chill!
We love Ottertail. Ottertail is a big, yet relatively quiet, lake. It is very boat friendly, with almost all of it being easily navigable. We come every year for 2 weeks around the 4th. Its our favorite time of year! So chill. Just relax by the water, either riverside or RIGHT on the lake.
Our Little Red Ottertail Lake cabin is a 3 bedroom sleeping up to 10, and it has 2 full shared baths (both are showers, sink, toilet, there are no tubs).
Bedroom 1: Full
Bedroom 2: Full and twin bunk
Bedroom 3: Queen
If you need the space, you also have a sleeper sofa in the awesome sunroom (which doubles as a wonderful place for kiddos to hang separate from adults--that is if they can get the adults out since... more great lake vibes!). AND a sleeper sofa in the Living Room. With all that, you COULD sleep more than 10 but why jam up when its relax time--but you be you! :-)
KITCHEN? Yep.
Efficient kitchen area with ALL amenities: fridge, oven, stovetop, microwave, keurig and drip coffee makers, pots, pans, crockpot, blender.
BIG LAKEFRONT DECK--and lake dock
Our lakefront cabin, has an incredible deck that is somewhat elevator (with easy steps down), making it an ever better view AND more breezy too! And off the deck? Lakeside single wide rollin dock for hanging out or temporarily tying up.
BEACH and FIRE RING
Yes, you can get to the water either off the roll-in (in the water all season) dock OR directly from the sand/rock beach. Nice. AND a fire ring on the beach for those evenings you want your smores.
RIVERSIDE FISHING PLATFORM AND DOCK/MANUAL LIFT
More? Yep. Our property extends from the lake to the river, and on the river... fishing platform and boat dock with manual lift! Got BOAT? Dump her in the water, and keep her on property, sheltered in the channel. So nice. Oh, and kiddos love to walk to the bridge at the bend in Ottertail River and tub back to the lake house (the current will take them to the front side of the cabin, in the lake, or pop off by the riverside dock platform. Repeat to exhaustion. The true brave at heart depart the bridge by jumping off! Fishing off the bridge is common too.
THINGS WE LOVE
So our first love is... chillin on the lake, but.... things that we miss as soon as we leave include:
Williams Store. Bike ride to coffee (or drive...), smoothies, sandwiches, and more. This place is the best. Its a daily bike ride for my wife, kiddos and me. Plus the owners are super awesome! Say high to Dan Marnie.
Ottertail Fitness Garage. Workout? Ottertail has the Fitness Garage. Full facility, including cardio and free weights. Highly recommend!
Zorbaz. Pizza place RIGHT on Ottertail. Take a boat ride over, tie up there, or drive... or for the more adventuresome, its a doable, if longish, bike ride too!
And there is a lot of nearby golf, a smattering of stores and restaurants in Ottertail that are well worth a stop, and field trips to Perham and other areas are worth a half day or more. Just inquire. We know the area, love the area, happy to help you love it too!
Long term guests welcome. Please inquire. Up to 65% off, even a bit off in summer. Most platforms will show the long term (24-28+ days) discount.
Reach out. Happy to help, and answer questions. As a new listing, I am sure I've missed things.

Wonderful week
We especially enjoyed the beautiful deck overlooking the lake! Because we brought our small boat with us, we chose this property as it has docks on both the lake and the river. The communication and service was the best we have ever had with a VRBO rental. Check in and check out was simple. The inside of cabin was immaculate. Plenty of room for a large family with a lovely indoor porch area separate which would be great if you had kids or teens along. We used that space as a reading room and opened the windows to enjoy lake breezes. I will rent this property again!

Happy visiting
My partner and I visited my son from Detroit Lakes, MN.
We enjoyed greatly out stay and visit and had pretty fair luck fishing. Best of all, we met Terry Elkins while attempting to dock the boat in the river, and he helped us find safe, out-of-the-way place for the boat trailer. He also loaned us 2 boat bumpers for the 4 days we were there.
Terry was a great and friendly help to us. We do have some recommendations for rental improvements:
1.refridge froze all the vegetables the first night and we had to replace them.
2. the mattresses need to be replaced as they are all saggy and uneven.
3. the coffee pot is broken and leaks water and grounds and should be replaced.
4. care should be taken to make certain customers know that there is only limited parking, and absolutely no trailer parking. It would be greatly helpful to have a definite spot to park, especially for the trailers.
The river is outstanding and care should be taken to ensure that customers are aware of the potential fun involved in floating the river. The entry point for floating the river should be cleaned up and made safer for smaller customers.
All is all, a great stay! Thank you!
