Cabin basement: The basement of the cabin is not part of the rented space. The space is unfinished, but we will keep it unlocked if you would like to use the washer and dryer.

Lake and pontoon Details: Bring your fishing poles and boat to enjoy the lake life! If you do not have a boat of your own, you can rent our pontoon for the day or week. Marion Lake, in Otter Tail County, has over 1600 acres, a maximum depth over 70 feet, and a water clarity of nearly 12 feet! This is a popular lake in the area for fishing and water sports. The lake offers a variety of fish species, with Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, crappie, and Bluegill being the most dominant gamefish. The property offers a private dock in the channel where you can dock your boat after a day of fishing or water sports. There is a gradual slope down to the dock about 275 feet from the cabin. Fishing right off the dock offers some of the best fishing on the lake in the spring time. You can spend the day with your kids and grandkids in the spring season pulling in fish after fish right off the dock! If fishing isn't your thing, spend some quiet time on the dock reading a book and enjoying the view. After the fish move out to the big lake in the early summer, there is still plenty of room to park your boat at the private dock so you are ready to head out on the lake any time you wish for fishing, water-sports, or simply a beautiful and relaxing cruise on the lake!

Property details: Besides offering access right to the lake, this wooded 2 1/2 acre property offers a large, semi-secluded area to enjoy yard games, grilling, and a fire pit for a relaxing evenings by the fire. There is plenty of space to park cars near the cabin. If you bring snowmobiles or a boat, there is space at the top of the hill, near the pole barn, for trailer or additional parking. The railroad track runs behind the pole barn.

Additional notes: If you enjoy canoeing, we have an aluminum canoe that is included in the price during your stay. The dock and the deck are two of our favorite areas on the property to enjoy a cup of coffee and listen to or watch the wildlife. There is not a swimming beach at the property, but there is a sandy area to swim at just across the lake from the channel. The slope is very gradual and you can walk out for quite a ways before it drops off. It is a great swimming area for kids of all ages! This area can be accessed by car or boat. We love to beach the pontoon there and our kids and grandkids will swim for hours!

Our private dock is located about 275 feet down a gradual slope in the channel. The dock has foam pads to protect your boat if you choose to tie it off there. Because the property is wooded and secluded, the channel is not typically viewable from the cabin. If you bring a boat, the property is located within minutes of the public boat landing where you can launch your boat.

Things to do in the area: Otter Tail County is a great place for those who love the outdoors! Many miles of snowmobile trails are easily accessible from the cabin. Not only does Otter Tail County have over 1,200 lakes and streams, it is also home to 3 beautiful state parks which include numerous miles of hiking trials and biking trails. Places like the historic Phelps Mill is a beautiful place to visit. Otter Tail, Battle Lake and Perham are home to our favorite shops, restaurants and breweries in the area. If your stay includes a Wednesday, one our favorite things to do in the area, in the summer, is go to the turtle races in Perham! You can either bring your own turtle or borrow one of theirs!
