This is the ultimate relaxation point!!!My husband and I needed a getaway and this cute spot on Lake Ethel was exactly what the doctor ordered! Lake Ethel is such a peaceful location. We were able to enjoy rain every morning of our stay, with nothing but sun shortly afterwards. Gentle breezes kept the bugs at bay and cooled the heat. I saw my first loon during a kayaking trip across the lake one late morning. A pair of these beautiful birds were soaking up the sun while floating. The owners are amazing people. They made check-in an absolute breeze. We only had one minor problem and it was fixed immediately. The ownersâ response time is beyond exceptional! They even have a list of things to do handy if you run out of ideas.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Charming âlake houseâ in an intimate residential area.
Stunning Lakeview with farmland all around.
Byânot your usual resortâ I mean very quiet.
The owners live next door. So very personal attention.
Thank you for 4 delightful weeks!
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!
