Boat lift. Cozy. Awesome! Lake AND River Cabin Ottertail Lake 43101 Pleasure Park Rd NEW LISTING 2025-2026! 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. 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 renting our family cabin on Ottertail! Act fast! Won't last... 2025-07-03. Summer 2026 DATES AND PRICING NOW LIVE! 😁 (Mostly) full house for summer 2025. August dates remain, and Labor Day. Don't dally, or they'll be gone! PLUS NEW Virtual Tour July 6, 2026! Updates! Wow! Be on Ottertail and ALSO have a boat dock on Ottertail River (the "channel'). Cute, cozy, 3 bedroom RIGHT on Ottertail Lake. AMAZING view and direct access to Ottertail Lake! 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 7, and it has 2 full shared baths (both are showers, sink, toilet, there are no tubs). Bedroom 1: Double Bedroom 2: Double Bed and Twin Bunk Bedroom 3: Queen If you need the space, you also have 2 sleeper sofas (twin & double) 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 QSS in the Living Room. 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 'hi!' 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. Thank you!

Rick was great to deal with. Awesome location being on both river and lake. Enjoyed ourselves and would come back. Thanks for everything! ##### Jesse R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eryk W. 18 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Eryk W.

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. ##### Catherine L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla F. 6 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Karla F.

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.\[Yay! Thanks Lindsey. Glad you all had a great time in our place. We have enjoyed it for many many years and are happy to be able to share it with others this year. Please reach out directly if you have any suggestions for our little cabin, or when ready to set up a return trip for next summer!\] ##### Erica G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick P. 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Rick P.
