Entspannen Sie auf dem wunderschönen See Ethel im Otter Tail County, MN!

Perfect layout of cabin and wonderful view of the lake. Kayaks, canoe and boat were fun to use and the large deck was awesome. Fishing was great and fish were delicious. Would definitely stay there again.

The cabin was clean and welcoming. We stayed during the week, so we felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves. Water great for swimming in. Nice to have use of the paddleboat & kayaks. We would definitely stay here again!!

We stayed in Bruce's cabin July 2018. We have stayed on Ethel Lake before at the resort and in family homes; we've been visiting Ottertail County lakes for 20+ years.

The cabin itself is darling. The owners have made it comfortable and welcoming. Bruce and his family own the property next door, but were only there on the weekend of our trip. They answered our questions at check in and then gave us all the peace and quiet we could dream of. Dishes, pots, pans, some paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags are provided. Also, a few dish towels and two bathroom towels were provided, which is nice. The bunk beds weren't the most comfortable in the world, but we slept fine. The bathroom is a nice size, though the shower is quite small--definitely a challenge for shaving legs!--but gets the job done. There are several hooks in the bathroom, perfect for wet towels and swimsuits, and there is a clothesline. Good size gas grill as well.

The deck and the sliding doors and window offer AMAZING day and night views of the lake. We spent virtually all our time eating/drinking/playing games on the deck. The views of the lake from every room, the privacy, and comfort overall make this cabin worth every penny.

Right off the dock is good swimming--no weeds really to speak of, and quite sandy.

I would love to see the owners put in laminate or luxury vinyl tile (LVT) or tile floors, especially with wet, sandy feet much of the time. But the carpet patches and rugs aren't terrible. I would love a bigger shower, but again, the shower worked fine.

Would highly recommend this cabin and plan to return.

Don't forget your firewood and lighter fluid for 'smores!

Beautiful peaceful sandy lake. Cabin was very charming and very clean. Would stay there again but our family is growing so needed a bigger cabin. Kayaking around the lake was awesome! I would of rated 5 stars but crossing the slippery rocks to get to the water to swim was the only drawback.

This is my idea of a cabin by the lake. Right on the water, quiet setting with a clean lake. Nice cabin, they just installed a water purifier, so that was nice. Newer gas grill. If you want to be on the water, bring your own boat. Big deck and lots of other lakes nearby for fun and action.
