    Upstairs is a master King bedroom attached to a walk through half bath as well as 2 queen bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs is a Master suite with King bed and private full bath.

    The kitchen is fully stocked whether you're having a quick wiener roast at the fire pit, steaks on the smoker or preparing a thanksgiving dinner inside. As a family friendly rental we have a pack and play available should you need it, nightlights and a sleep machine in the kids room which is set up for the ultimate Disney slumber party!

    In addition to a home suitable for the extended family fully stocked with sand toys and 2 kayaks we have the option to rent a pontoon to make the most of the lake and great pan fishing- think northern, crappie, bass and sun fish.


    The ultimate location for all the summer activities in both Ottertail (5 minutes) and Perham (15 minutes). Both towns boast their small town charms including boutique shopping, golf courses, restaurants, a brewery, grocery stores, liquor stores and gas.


    As this is a new renovation we are excited to share our hard work with vacationing families however the grass is still a work-in-progress due to recent construction! The driveway has been re-done and extra parking added to allow for larger groups to park on the gravel.

The private beach was great, lake was clear and shallow which was great for our group of young kids. Host responsiveness was quick and helpful. We had an issue with the pellet grill and the oven and the host filling in was quick to alleviate that with dropping off a new gas grill. House cleanliness needed a little improvement- which was communicated to the host. We cleaned a lot upon arrivalThe house updates are very cute! Large deck was awesome and the view from the house was great. Some cons- there is no storage space for a larger group of guests bringing in food, snacks, etc..lots of closets and the garage were locked, so assuming one of those was a pantry that could have been utilized as storage. A lot of the doors(especially bathroom doors) weren’t shimmed in correctly, so they wouldn’t even shut all the way, or were so hard to close and open that middle of the night bathroom users woke others in the house. No scissors to be found in the house. Bed pillows were so so thick and the pillows in the bunk room weren’t in sheets- just in the decorative shams. Thermostat was very inaccurate, but thankfully the house stayed ice cold in the heat and humidity. Only half the toaster worked. And the fly situation- never seen anything like it. Tons of large and small flies all over, which appears that hosts are trying to help that by having fly traps out. The water in the house smelled bad, so our guess was the flies were drain flies. Hosts were very friendly through messages.

We had 12 family members stay at the Crimson cabin and it had plenty of space and was very clean. The hosts communicated quickly and were helpful when needed. The sandy beach was also a hit with our family.
