10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at Ottertail lake. The house was exactly as pictured. Very well stocked, spacious, and clean. Lots of great lakes in the area, but we loved fishing off the dock, where we caught northern, bass and sunfish. The lot was level and perfect for yard games and bonfires in the evening. We had a group of 8, and it was so nice to all be able to sit at the large table in the dining area, and the four season porch. The hosts were very responsive, and offered recommendations for fishing lakes and things to do in the area. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone in the ottertail area with a large family looking for a cozy, relaxing week!"
