Loved our stay!

Loved our stay! Felt right at home. We've been coming to Ottertail lake every summer as a family get together and this was one of my favorite summers in a long time due to the little red cabin. The kids played in the lake everyday, or fished off the river dock, my dad caught the biggest fish of his life, and we all hung out on the beautiful deck from sunrise to sunset. What a beautiful spot for long lasting memories. Every question I had was promptly answered.

Little Red Cabin on Ottertail Lake

Had a great stay at the Little Red Cabin!! The large deck is wonderful and the access to the river behind the cabin that accesses to the lake is wonderful for kayaking/tubing![🤗 Yay! Thank you so much for the super nice review Greg! We would be happy to host you and the rest of your crew in our cabin anytime! Reach out when ready to rock the return, or if you have any suggestions to improve our place, or our communications and support. Thanks again! 🙏]

Great place on a great lake!

A comfortable place. Spotless, squeaky clean, and was exactly what we expected from the description. Great Lake. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you! [😁 Thanks so much Nick! Glad you had a great time in our family cabin. Appreciate the wonderful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review and the feedback too! Would be happy to have you all back anytime. Glad you liked Marges Diner as well, and that you found our cabin squeaky clean and in great shape! I relayed to our cleaner young ladytoo--everyone loves kudos right?! Thank you again! 🙏]

Cabin stay

The cabin is cozy and everything you would need is there for cooking etc including a blender. They have books, puzzles, couple of kayaks and life jackets in the deck box to use for safety. My only issue was the water was to low to use the boat ramp at the time I stayed. Great view on the deck, plenty of comfortable chairs and nice fire pit on the beach.

Wonderful stay in Ottertail MN

The pictures do not give The Little Red Cabin justice. It is very cozy and plenty of room for all of us. The VIEW and LOCATION is perfect. Being located between the lake and the river is amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the deck relaxing and enjoying the view of Ottertail Lake. Plenty of restaurants and shopping located close by. The cabin is clean and stocked very well from kitchen utensils to games and puzzles. Rick and Terry are very accommodating and friendly. We highly recommend The Little Red Cabin.

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!

The LIttle Red Cabin on Ottertail was a true gem!

WE had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Rick communicated with us in advance of our stay. The directions and recommendations were clear and spot on! When I had questions he responded in a timely manner. The cabin was clean and quaint. The kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed for preparing meals and saving leftovers. The river was fun to fish. The kids even caught and released a painted turtle. The deck furniture was comfortable and plentiful. His recommendation on where we could rent a pontoon was great! Another great rental experience. We already booked for next year! This is a gem!!!! [🥰 Thank you so much for the very kind words about our family cabin! I am so glad it worked really well for you and that you loved the communications and support too! Happy to host you all anytime, and if you have any suggestions for our cabin, or for Great Stays Ottertail and our communications and support, I would love to hear from you. Thanks again! 🙏]

Great time on Ottertail Lake

We had a wonderful family trip to Rick and Susan's cabin on Ottertail Lake. It was a little cool during our stay, but they can't control that! And the view from the deck (and from the living room/dining area) was fantastic. They were also very helpful with suggestions for places to go around the area too. The cabin is, well, a cabin, and is small, but it was a great fit for the 7 of us. It was very clean and comfy. Highly recommend the place, and that you also go to the Williams Store, one of their suggestions that we really enjoyed, almost daily! Thank you so much for sharing your family's cabin with us. We hope to come back in the future.[Yay! Thanks Lindsey. Glad you all had a great time in our place. We have enjoyed it for many many years and are happy to be able to share it with others this year. Please reach out directly if you have any suggestions for our little cabin, or when ready to set up a return trip for next summer!]

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!
