We had a wonderful vacation at this cabin. The lake and surrounding area were beautiful and the cabin had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this cabin!
Our family of five had a wonderful week at this cabin! The cabin was very clean and the lake was beautiful! The beach was sandy and the water was clear! We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe and paddle boat daily and of course spent many hours just floating on the lake. Bruce was very welcoming and friendly during our stay. We will definitely rent this cabin again.
Another relaxing week at Lake Ethel. The cabin was clean and cozy, and the view is beautiful. Our host was very responsive to all questions. Thank you!
We had a very good time. Very nice, clean cabin & the lay out was convenient for the 2 of us. Close to the Lake with beautiful scenery.
The Hosts are very nice people. Would recommend this cabin.
Thanks for accommodating us on such a short notice. I needed a getaway to refresh and this was perfect. It was close to other lakes and easy to get around. We had a wonderful time.
Great place to stay. Breathtaking view of lake and autumn trees. Had a great time fishing. Loose dogs was a little concern but overall was not too much of problem, with my own dog. We would definitely stay again, next season.
The property was in a great location with great views of the lake. The deck with table and picnic table, the big swing, the grill and the fire pit made enjoying the lake easy. And being able to use the boats was a great addition. Just a great place to stay. We will be back.
Beautiful, relaxing spot for a week at the lake with my college-aged daughters. The lake was perfect for swimming, floating, and kayaking, and the cabin was clean and comfortable. The deck, just a few steps from the lake, was absolutely delightful. We wished we could have stayed longer.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this charming Lake Ethel cabin. Itâs a true quintessential Minnesota cabin. We had a wonderful time, the neighbors and property owner were extremely nice and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Next time though it will be in the summer because the lake was so clean and clear with a beautiful sandy bottom, great for swimming.
Whatâs not to love at this vacay stay!!!! Even though they are people living in the houses, . is very quiet and the house is very clean as always. We plan to stay there for my birthday as we did for my husbandâs birthday for the second time there and the restaurants around Ottertail are wonderful. Very tasty.
Quiet with a beautiful view. The place was very clean and just as described. Our host was very responsive to all questions and very thorough. We plan to return and try a different time of year to get an additional and new perspective. Thank you!
Storm came in the first night took out many trees blocked road and cut electrical. That meant no water, lights, toilet,air conditioning,cooking. Not livable. But would rebook if fixed.
Stayed from April 29 till May 2nd. Wonderful property, with everything in the cabin spotless. The area is so quiet and peaceful which is what we were looking for. Unfortunately the dock wasnât out out so we couldnât fully take advantage of the aquatic activities. Not the host fault, just had a longer colder winter this year. The cabin was heated nicely and everything in the cabin was great. Had wood provided for bonfires which were very nice at night. Had a propane grill provided with all tools needed for grilling. There is two small towns located about 10 minutes from the cabin, both towns had nice towny restaurants. Cabin was right on the lake shore, something you canât find often with vacation rentals. Definitely planning on staying again at this cabin as everything was great
The location and setting were perfect, nice cabin on the lake. However there were issues. Ad lists Wifi. There is no usable wifi, it was not the point of our visit but was promised and inconvenient. Gas grill, no gas. Fire pit wood provided. Not really. Owner communicated that life jackets available then told me otherwise when I asked where I could find them. Did find them in the shed. Ultimately we enjoyed our stay and glad we came. Only wish the execution of the information in the listing was more accurate or followed through. As such we were somewhat disappointed.
We have been enjoying Lake Ethel's beauty together since 1980 when Sandy's parents first purchased the property next door. We were fortunate enough to purchase that property from them in 1999 which enabled us to continue enjoying this beautiful lake. We live in the Twin Cities area and are raising six children, all of whom enjoy all Lake Ethel has to offer.
We purchased a lake cabin on this lake from Sandy's parents who first purchased the property back in 1980. We have enjoyed spending time at this lake since then. As our six children continue to grow and eventually begin their own families, we anticipate the need for more space at the lake, so when this cabin became available, we purchased it to accommodate our family's future growth. In the meantime, we are able to share these great experiences with others.
This cozy cabin sits just a few feet from the lakeshore, and you cannot help but feel relaxed as you enjoy fishing or boating by day and the cool breezes and loon calls at the campfire by night. This lot offers a shallow, weed-free swimming area, great for the kids! Feel free to bring your own boat or use ours and keep it on our small boat lift. We can provide you multiple ways to enjoy the lake: enjoy the view while connected to wi-fi, with a paddleboat, canoe, or kayaks if you would like--just ask us! We are a licensed rental property in Otter Tail County!
