About this house rental

Escape to this private lakefront vacation rental on beautiful Otter Tail Lake, one of Minnesota’s premier recreation and fishing lakes. Located on the peaceful southwest shore, this spacious 5-bedroom home sleeps up to 11 guests and is the perfect destination for family vacations, fishing trips, golf getaways, reunions, and relaxing lakeside retreats.

One of this property’s most unique features is its 200+ feet of private sandy beach. The gradual shoreline is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, beach games, and building sandcastles, while the crystal-clear water of Otter Tail Lake is perfect for boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and other water activities. Mature trees on both sides of the property provide exceptional privacy—a rare find on the lake.

Outdoor living is what makes this home truly special. Relax on the lakeside deck, enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, or gather around the spacious yard for lawn games, family cookouts, and unforgettable sunsets. The large shaded yard offers plenty of room for kids to play while adults unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Enjoy s’mores around our fire pit which includes plenty of split firewood.

Inside, you’ll find comfortable accommodations for up to 11 guests, making this home ideal for multiple families or large groups. The fully equipped kitchen includes quality cookware, dishes, and everything needed to prepare meals together. We also provide towels, bed linens, and beach lounge chairs so you can pack lighter and spend more time enjoying your vacation.

Bring your boat or rent one from a nearby resort and spend the day exploring Otter Tail Lake, known for excellent walleye, bass, and pan fishing. You’ll love the convenience of boating directly to two popular lakeside restaurants for lunch or dinner without ever getting in your car. Kayaks and a paddle board are also available for guests who want to enjoy a peaceful paddle along the scenic shoreline.

The home is conveniently located just 6 miles from Battle Lake, where you’ll discover excellent restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, boutique shopping, grocery stores, and seasonal events. The charming town of Ottertail is also only six miles away and offers additional shopping, dining, and small-town charm.

Golf enthusiasts can choose from several outstanding nearby courses, including Balmoral Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course, and Balmoral North, a fun par-3 course located less than two miles from the home. Just a short drive away, Thumper Pond Golf Course also features an indoor water park, making it a great rainy-day destination for families.

Outdoor adventures continue at nearby Glendalough State Park and Maplewood State Park, where you can enjoy hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, and some of Minnesota’s most beautiful scenery. A nearby bike trail connects Glendalough State Park to downtown Battle Lake, making for a memorable afternoon ride. Families will also enjoy the nearby ice cream shop and mini golf course just a short bike ride away.

Whether you’re planning a week of boating, fishing, swimming, golfing, or simply relaxing on the beach, this private Otter Tail Lake vacation home offers the space, privacy, and amenities to create unforgettable memories. We look forward to welcoming you and hope your first stay becomes an annual tradition.

We can attest to other 10/10 reviews!! This property and the owners ensured our family vaca was more than wonderful. Great location for outings near or far and plenty of entertainment if staying in. From the decks and very nice beach, the private outdoor spaces are great. The owners were quick to respond and were very helpful.
