Unwind on Beautiful Lake Ethel in Otter Tail County, MN!

Come and enjoy all that Lake Ethel has to offer--one of the state's clearest lakes, great fishing, great boating, waterskiing, personal watercraft riding, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboating, sailboating and much more. Lake Ethel has a public access and a sandy, weed-free bottom only chest deep at the end of the dock. This sturdy cabin is located just feet from the shore of beautiful Lake Ethel. It can sleep 4 comfortably in two bedrooms, and 2 more on a futon. This cabin has a 3/4 bath, kitchen and living room space. Immerse yourself in all of Lake Ethel's beauty by stepping onto a full deck or enjoy it from inside through one of two lakeside glass patio doors. Cabin is equipped with wi-fi and we are licensed as an Otter Tail County rental property. We also provide a water treatment system to purify the drinking water.

Perfect Getaway from the Cities
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.

Little getaway
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.

What’s 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 husband‘s birthday for the second time there and the restaurants around Ottertail are wonderful. Very tasty.

Perfect place to relax
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.

Lake Ethel cabin
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this charming Lake Ethel cabin. It’s 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.

On Lake Time
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.

Nice place.
Nice cabin with a beautiful view from the large deck. Accommodations were more than adequate for the two of us and could easily manage 4-6. Also very thoughtful with extras like coffee and spices. Host was very accommodating when we asked to move our reservation out a day. Good location between other lakes and lake towns. We would go back again.

Not your usual “resort” property.
Charming “lake house” in an intimate residential area. Stunning Lakeview with farmland all around. By”not your usual resort” I mean very quiet. The owners live next door. So very personal attention. Thank you for 4 delightful weeks!

Had to cancel stay.
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.

Great stay great host
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 wasn’t out out so we couldn’t 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 can’t find often with vacation rentals. Definitely planning on staying again at this cabin as everything was great

Great space, faulty description/execution
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.
