Our visit to Ole’s farm house was a very nice getaway to enjoy Minnesota country and lake life. The property is exactly as depicted in the photos and descriptions- updated, very clean, and nicely decorated. Kitchen is well stocked with all utensils, pots and pans, etc. The yard around the house is a very pleasant place to enjoy morning coffee, afternoon conversation, evening fires and generally take in the peaceful serenity. There is a five minute walk on the property to beautiful lake. Note: you’ll need to bring some camp chairs to enjoy the yard and dock. We took sunset walks on the adjacent gravel road amidst tall corn and occasionally encountered deer roaming the area. Wonderful host! Great communication. Easy check-in.

Fishing and working week

The updated farmhouse is very cute and cozy. It had all we needed to feel “at home”. Loved the seclusion and area. One thing that could be added is window treatments - for those that are late sleepers, the sun gets bright in the AM. Thank you for letting us enjoy the lovely home!

Lovely time

We are still not sure which of the three of us - me, my wife, or our dog - had the best time during our stay, as all three of us loved it. The farmhouse was cozy and charming, the property quiet and pretty, and our time relaxing and fun. We took walks, including a trip to Glendalough State Park (highly recommended!), read, did puzzles, played music, and one night enjoyed a nice bonfire in the ring in the yard. We truly wished we could stay longer. Our host Jean was responsive and accommodating. A great time at a great place.

My mom and sister and I went on a girls trip back to the area where my mom grew up working in the summers at the resort, her parents owned. Our visit included seeing friends from around the lake and spending time fishing and on the beach at Stalker Lake. This little place was the perfect size for the three of us and close to everywhere we wanted to be. It’s nice to know. We will have a place to stay in the future.

Amazing farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. We enjoyed the house and the lake. Jean, you have put a lot of beautiful details into your remodeling. Your choice of books and amenities was above expectation. I especially love the stove!

A Little Piece of Heaven

I was looking for a quiet peaceful location to spend some time just me & my dog, & came across Ole's House listing. It was a small little house built in 1919 off the beaten path. When I found this listing, I knew God had directed me here. It was everything I hoped for & more. I was able to enjoy the solitude & tranquility that I was looking for. I also had the great pleasure of meeting Jean, the owner of the property. She was a great host and a wonderful person. We took a couple of short walks together enjoying her beautiful property. I was blessed with an added bonus of snow on my day of arrival and on my last day. It added to the beauty of the property. I will definitely be going back to Ole's house again!

A great blend of old rustic characteristics and updated features! Be advised, there are a lot of windows and no curtains or blinds. Otherwise very comfortable and relaxing! I will be returning for a solo stay to write a book

Another Great Stay

This was the 3rd stay for my brother and me at Ole's House. We're in our late 70s and have visited Ottertail County since the early 1950s when we owned property on Ottertail Lake. Ole's House is a step back in time for us and we love it. A cottage on the edge of the woods with no annoying lights or noise from neighbors, but all the necessary amenities, including A.C. and internet. Perfect for us.

Quiet Country GetAway!

This was the perfect getaway for our family! Our 12 year old wanted a place to stay in the country and this was it. My husband and I grew up in the country and this brought us back to our childhood. The host was fantastic and answered any questions we had. She was a delight!

Fantastic getaway

Thus us our second stay here. Jean is a wonderful hostess. Location was perfect to kayak at Glendalough State Park, hiking at inspiration point and ice cream at Granny's in Battle Lake. The Phelps mill is also a short drive. It was fun to just relax on the dock and listen to the loons. We look forward to our yearly getaway to the Dalton area.
